On the 29th, their agency JYP Entertainment announced that TWICE held the concert 'READY TO BE in JAPAN SPECIAL' at Nissan Stadium in Kanagawa, Japan, over two days on the 27th and 28th.

This performance marked the finale of their fifth world tour, which began in April last year. Notably, Nissan Stadium is Japan's largest concert venue and is considered a 'dream stage' where only artists with strong audience-drawing power can perform.

TWICE became the third K-pop group to perform at this venue, following TVXQ and SEVENTEEN. Additionally, TWICE is the only foreign female artist to hold a solo concert at Nissan Stadium. They decorated the final stage of their spectacular world tour with these 'first' records.

Starting their Nissan Stadium performance with the title track 'Perfect World' from their third full-length album released in Japan, TWICE delivered powerful performances of representative songs released in both Korea and Japan, including 'TT', 'FANCY', and 'DIVE'.

During the performances of 'Fake & True' and 'Celebrate', the members captivated fans with a moving stage rail that extended 118 meters, allowing them to move to the far end of the audience.

The members showcased their diverse charms through solo and unit (small group) stages. Chaeyoung played her self-composed song 'My Guitar', and Nayeon delivered an explosive performance with 'ABCD', the title track from her recently released solo album.

Moreover, the unit MISAMO (Mina, Sana, Momo), composed of Japanese members, presented a special live performance with songs like 'Behind The Curtain' and 'Do Not Touch'.

TWICE's Nissan Stadium concerts on the 27th and 28th, each drawing 70,000 attendees for a total of 140,000, proved why they are the world's top 'stadium girl group' at this point. Compared to the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium (about 7,000 seats), where they debuted in Japan on July 2, 2017, their influence has grown nearly tenfold.

Marking their 10th anniversary this year, TWICE debuted on the Japanese stage in 2017 with the best album '#TWICE'. They achieved significant success, winning the Japan Gold Disc Award for three consecutive years starting in 2018, and received the Excellence Work Award at the Japan Record Awards in 2018 for their third single 'Wake Me Up'.

In 2019, they held the first dome tour by a K-pop girl group in Japan, attracting approximately 220,000 spectators, and last year, they became the first K-pop girl group to perform at Osaka's Yanmar Stadium Nagai and Tokyo's Ajinomoto Stadium.

In May this year, they surpassed 20 million cumulative album sales in Korea and Japan, showcasing remarkable growth.

TWICE began their fifth world tour in Seoul last year and successfully completed performances in Osaka on the 13th and 14th, and Tokyo on the 20th and 21st.

With the Nissan Stadium concerts over two days on the 27th and 28th, TWICE concluded their world tour.

After the concert, TWICE shared on their Japanese SNS account, "The first day of the emotional live performance at Nissan ended specially. It was a live show at Nissan Stadium that we had dreamed of, and it was a happy live filled with joy together with ONCE (TWICE's fandom name)."
