K-pop sensation TWS has solidified its status as a top-tier performance group, captivating audiences at Japan's massive music festival, 'Rock in Japan Festival 2025 (RIJF)'.

The group took the stage at the Hillside Stage in Soga Sports Park, Chiba City, on September 15th, delivering an electrifying set of eight songs. RIJF, one of Japan's four major rock festivals with a 26-year history, is expected to draw over 300,000 attendees across its multiple days.

Following their official Japanese debut and notable chart successes, TWS proved their immense popularity by filling the festival grounds. They kicked off the performance with their Japanese debut title track 'Nice to see you again' and 'BLOOM (feat. Ayumu Imazu)', setting a high-energy tone that defied the heat.

Showcasing their versatility, TWS presented powerful rock renditions of 'GO BACK' and 'Oh Mymy : 7s'. The fusion of intense guitar riffs and the members' dynamic choreography created a thrilling experience for the crowd. Their high-octane track 'hey!' further amplified their energetic charisma.

The group also delighted fans with their signature refreshing sound, performing the Japanese versions of 'Boyfriend' ('If I am S, you are my N') and 'First Meeting Isn't According to Plan' ('plot twist -Japanese ver.-') and 'My Heart Does Not Leap According to Plan?'. Fans responded with fervent cheers, singing along and waving their lightsticks and banners, fully immersed in the summer festival atmosphere.

Concluding their performance, TWS shared their gratitude in Japanese, stating, "We are truly happy to perform at Rock in Japan Festival. Today's show was a special time for us. We hope it becomes a precious summer memory for you all. We promise to give our best performance."

TWS is set to continue their global activities by performing at the 'ATA Festival 2025' in Seoul on September 28th and are preparing for a comeback in October.
