The "2026 TWS 2ND FANMEETING <42:CLUB> IN JAPAN OFFICIAL MERCHANDISE" will be sold at the venue. This POP-UP STORE is the only place to get the fan meeting merchandise offline in advance.
Following the theme of the fan meeting, this POP-UP STORE is decorated to resemble a sports club. Upon entering, the floor is decorated like a running track, allowing visitors to feel as if they have become a member of the sports club. On the right side, you can see large, dynamic photos of the members participating in various sports: SHINYU playing tennis, DOHOON playing soccer, YOUNGJAE practicing kendo, HANJIN doing shooting, JIHOON in taekwondo, and KYUNGMIN playing basketball. Opposite the photos, there is a message board with handwritten messages from each member, such as "Are you ready to run with 42!?", surrounded by a space where visitors can post their own messages and an area to take photos with TWS, creating a space that draws you into the world of the fan meeting.
At the back of the venue, there is a space where the fan meeting merchandise is lined up. Popular items created for this fan meeting, such as PHOTO CARDS, IMAGE PICKETs, and ACRYLIC KEYRINGs, are on display. A standout item in this lineup is the "450YEN MINI PHOTO CARD & HOLDER SET." It was inspired by the call-and-response chant "How much is it? 450 yen!" between TWS and 42 (SAI, the TWS fandom name) from last year's fan meeting. Be sure to check it out, as this is an early opportunity to get various other merchandise offline.
TWS's debut single, the Japan 1st Single "Hajimemashite" ("Nice to Meet You"), reached No. 1 on the Oricon Weekly and Combined Singles charts dated 2025/7/14, setting a record for the highest first-week sales for a foreign artist in the 2025 fiscal year (as of the Oricon Weekly Singles chart announcement on 2025/7/14). Furthermore, it also topped Billboard JAPAN's weekly "Top Singles Sales" chart and the comprehensive "JAPAN Hot 100" song chart, both released on July 9.
In addition, they received a "Gold Disc" certification in July 2025 and a "Platinum" certification in August 2025 from the Recording Industry Association of Japan, which are awarded to works that reach a certain number of net shipments from their release date. They also topped the weekly USEN HIT J-POP Ranking (A-26Ch.) and the weekly USEN HIT J-POP/Western Music Ranking (A-51Ch.) for the period of July 11-17, marking a brilliant debut in Japan.
At the end of 2025, they performed "Hajimemashite" on Fuji TV's "2025 FNS Music Festival - Night 1" and later appeared at the major year-end music festival "COUNTDOWN JAPAN 25/26," generating significant buzz.
In the "58th Oricon Annual Ranking 2025" announced on January 9 this year, they ranked 2nd in the "Artist-Specific Sales Division - New Artist Ranking," the highest for a foreign artist. At the "40th Japan Gold Disc Awards," TWS won "New Artist of the Year (Asia)" and "Best 3 New Artists (Asia)."
On February 9, they released a digital single of the Korean version of their song "Hajimemashite," titled "Nice to see you again (Korean Ver.)," in Japan. Please look forward to the unstoppable momentum of TWS.
