Global sensations TWICE have once again proven their immense popularity, drawing a staggering 400,000 fans across four major Japanese domes this summer as part of their sixth world tour, ‘THIS IS FOR’.

The tour saw the powerhouse girl group deliver electrifying performances at Kyocera Dome Osaka (July 26–27), Vantelin Dome Nagoya (Aug. 23–24), Fukuoka PayPay Dome (Aug. 30–31), and the prestigious Tokyo Dome (Sept. 16–17). Each venue featured an immersive 360-degree stage, showcasing the group’s unmatched scale and fan appeal with a parade of chart-topping hits.

The setlist expertly blended global tour anthems like ‘THIS IS FOR’, ‘Strategy’, ‘SET ME FREE’, and ‘I CAN’T STOP ME’, with beloved Japanese fan favorites. The crowd erupted for the new Japanese title track ‘ENEMY’, the widely adored ‘Hare Hare’, and ‘Like 1’, a special track co-written by member Jihyo.

During the spectacular finale at Tokyo Dome, the members expressed their gratitude and ambition, promising fans, “We will keep our promises and continue moving onto bigger stages.” The night was further elevated by the exciting announcements of a 10th-anniversary documentary film and additional Japan tour dates scheduled for 2026, met with thunderous applause.

TWICE’s commercial success in Japan continues to soar. Their sixth Japanese studio album, ‘ENEMY’, released on August 27, achieved Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for surpassing 100,000 shipments in August. This follows the group's May milestone with '#TWICE5', which also earned Gold certification, highlighting their sustained market dominance.

Building on this incredible momentum, TWICE is set to take their world tour to Macau (Sept. 27–28), Bulacan (Oct. 4), Singapore (Oct. 11–12), Kuala Lumpur (Oct. 25), Sydney (Nov. 1–2), Melbourne (Nov. 8–9), Kaohsiung (Nov. 22–23), Hong Kong (Dec. 6), and Bangkok (Dec. 13–14).

TWICE holds the record as the first K-pop girl group to successfully sell out all four major dome venues in Japan during a single tour. The group consists of nine members: Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu. They consistently captivate both domestic and international fans with their diverse concepts and musical endeavors.
