As the screen showed the logo of Twice, Japanese fans gathered around the stage and performed organized cheers.

Tokyo Girls Collection, launched in 2005, is one of the largest fashion festivals held in Japan, offering performances featuring popular fashion models and musicians from around the globe.

Twice is preparing for “Twice 1st Arena Tour 2018 BDZ,” holding nine concerts in four Japanese cities. All tickets for the upcoming tour are sold out, despite organizers adding extra seats to meet the demand.
