TWICE's "READY TO BE" in JAPAN SPECIAL will be held on the first day! First performance of new songs "DIVE" and "Here I am"

■ The title song “DIVE” is attractive for its lyrics that sing of straightforward feelings such as “Dive boldly into me”, and the strong and sweet lyrics set to a refreshing sound make this a highly addictive song.

TWICE held the first day of “TWICE 5TH WORLD TOUR ‘READY TO BE’ in JAPAN SPECIAL” at Yanmar Stadium Nagai in Osaka. This is the final performance of their massive fifth world tour, which has attracted a total of 370,000 people (domestic) since 2023.

The set list for this SPECIAL performance is centered around original Japanese songs. The most anticipated stage was the first performance in the universe of the title song “DIVE” and the sub-lead song “Here I am” from TWICE’s fifth original Japanese album “DIVE” to be released on July 17th.

TWICE JAPAN’s 5th album “DIVE” is themed around water. Celebrating their 7th anniversary since their debut in Japan, TWICE has achieved many dreams, and this is a confident work that was produced with the concept of DIVE (=jumping) into a new stage, as they show even further evolution from here.

True to the concept, the performance was a spectacular and breathtaking stage showcasing the sophisticated TWICE members.

The title song “DIVE” is attractive for its lyrics that sing straightforward feelings such as “Dive boldly into me”, and the strong and sweet lyrics on the refreshing sound make it a highly addictive song. The flowing melody is a refreshing song perfect for the hot summer. The first performance was met with thunderous cheers from the venue.

TWICE will kick off the tour at Yanmar Stadium Nagai in Osaka (July 13th and 14th), followed by Ajinomoto Stadium in Tokyo (July 20th and 21st) and Nissan Stadium in Kanagawa (July 27th and 28th).

With this performance, TWICE will achieve a great feat as the first foreign female artist to perform at Nissan Stadium. With their overwhelming presence and unique artistry, TWICE will be even more exciting to watch.
