Video Evidence Proves TWICE’s Overwhelming Popularity In Japan
A video taken from a baseball game at Osaka Tōin Junior and Senior High School showed truly how popular TWICE has become in Japan.
TWICE’s first hi-touch events in Tokyo and Osaka drew in about 20,000 fans, showcasing just how many fans they have already.
On top of that, their Japanese debut album #TWICE became the first album by a K-Pop girl group in the last five years to obtain platinum certification by the RIAJ.

Despite all of their success so far, some K-Pop fans were still convinced that TWICE is only popular among Japanese K-Pop fans, and are still unknown among the Japanese public.
But recent footage from a baseball game at Osaka Tōin Junior and Senior High School showed that not only did the school band play “TT,” but the crowd cheered along too!
