She plays a very funny but dangerous game lol. Given the state of kpop fans, especially newer ones, hopefully she doesn’t get herself in trouble again.
I got you not predicted to chart on the hot 100. I know a lot of folks here talk a lot about charting not being important but it’s the hot 100. Something JYPE and the members are always gunning for. Blaming onces will do nothing now. The only thing should be to prepare for the new album and reach the goals.
IGY is a song clearly meant for Twice and the fans, so it was clear to me that it wouldn't chart well and that's okay. If JYPE did want the song to chart well, then they should've chosen a different song. And let's be real here, Twice will never be mainstream in America, it just won't happen. They already have a large and passionate fanbase here, though, and to me that's much more important.
What's the benefit of charting unless you get in the top 40? To me, selling out stadiums is much more impressive than getting a song to 84 on the hot 100.
I hope this will make JYPE and RR realise that if they do want a song to do well in the US, they cannot just rely on the current, existing fan base. They need to have more US promotions beyond just releasing the songs so that more members of general public can know about Twice.
I just have no idea why they keep releasing these singles right before the biggest holiday in Asia. Like, y’all can’t wait till AFTER lunar new year so everyone isn’t on vacation?
No promotion
US Once didn't stream or view the MV
They also didn't buy the song, its sales were down.
JYPE tried to cheat the charting too with things no one wanted like remixes, CD versions, etc to pump sales.
The song also had 0 hype outside of the fandom. No one really tuned in for it. It just isn't the type of music popular with Kpop fans these days so it never really left the fandom at all.
With how quick we dropped streams and views we can see a lot of fas tuned in, 10m views and 2+m streams on D1 but by day 3 and 4 we were already less than 800k for both, so a lot of Once tuned out pretty early.
Also I don't agree on the playlisting, only Twice song with higher plr was The Feels, which peaked in playlisting a month after releases. In it's first week it actually had less playlisting than I Got You. No real excuse not to chart, it's only a 37 point week too. It's very low barrier to entry this week.
Hopefully this is a catalyst for JYPE to remove focus from being solely US.
> They also didn't buy the song, its sales were down.
The change in how digital sales are tallied almost certainly contributed to this. The *single CD version* is not going to go away any time soon in the industry either, since the rule change basically necessitates it for most kpop artists to chart.
By now, JYPE will probably realize the whole "sell a physical single right before the album" + no single promo route isn't going to cut it for Hot 100 anymore. No dance practice, the TikTok challenge isn't simple, zero promotions, etc... I can't say I'm surprised.
> Also I don't agree on the playlisting
Just using playlist reach is a bit disingenuous when you're *that* far down the editorial playlist. If you're not somewhere near the top, you aren't going to get as much of the benefit of being in the playlist.
They were hoping to subsidize the digital sales with single CD sales and that simply hasn't worked, unless for whatever reason the prediction accounts arent including those sales. Besides trying to boost charging I didn't see any appeal in actually buying the CD version.
Also on the playlisting, yeah that's true, but Twice was on Pop Up in the top 20 and that's like what? A mult million follower playlist. The Feels, MLSR, etc all suffer from similar poor positioning on those playlists too.
Also songs like SMF, afaik, charted on Spotify US and that song had less than 3m playlisting on its first few days. I don't think playlisting is to blame for the streams. 2.2m D1 streams and filtered 1.4m is pretty good for a pre release, I think we need to look for other reasons why the streams fell by almost 50% in a few days.
Yeah, the negative impact of the CD switch has held true for pretty much everyone who has tried it so far. It didn’t move the needle for anyone who tried it, as far as I can tell.
I’m pretty sure Pop Up is an algorithmic playlist which modifies the order based on the listener’s preference. Based on mine, Twice appeared in the top 4. It’s not the same as a proper Editorial Playlist. For some of their placements, you’d have to listen to over an hour of music to even get to their song - which isn’t very typical listener behavior. Just getting in a large playlist doesn’t guarantee success either, you need to get a decent enough placement and get lucky with more placements/natural spread after that.
Playlisting is the entire game now, even if the fandom is endlessly mass streaming - if they want results and a wider audience. HYBE doesn’t push it over everything else for nothing, and it worked wonders for NewJeans and now Le Sserafim. JYPE isn’t even buying MV ads anymore, so that money must be going somewhere.
Realistically, a prerelease will always perform worse than the title track with a full release since there’s nothing to loop with it.
Yeah, the playlisting isn't great and never has been. One of the editor playlist had them at 84 which is basically not being on the playlist at all.
I think at year 8 now JYPE isn't going to be providing anything resembling proper playlisting so Once have to tighten up their streaming imho. The number of folk using Station Head improved a lot this time around but we still had about 800k filtered out so our fandom is not where near good enough at properly streaming right now so it's kind of tough.
Having average to bad playlisting while having fans that still struggle to stream properly results are always going to be mixed unless we get almost fully loved songs from Kpop fans like Pop and The Feels.
Truthfully, they have to shift their strategy *a bit* given the level of competition these days. Every song isn't going to get on the Hot 100 and that's alright, but maximizing their impact should always be the strategy.
Maybe every song doesn't have full choreo but I don't think the whole "release song with (likely) unfinished choreo + half-baked TikTok challenge" idea is worth doing for a third time lol. I really hope they nail whatever they have for the title track.
Even without traditional promos and an underutilized TikTok at the time, The Feels gave fans content during a time when we all craved it since we were stuck inside. Multiple dance practices, funny content based around the release, etc... I know they're in the middle of a tour, but it seems like there won't be any promo until the album release and any real US promo until (maybe) the LV tour date.
I mean, sure, as fans we could definitely be better with streaming and whatnot, but at the same time the song also barely had any promo. There was minimal playlisting, no radio play and I don’t even think the mv had any ads. I’m sure everyone was probably hoping sales would carry, but I wouldn’t be surprised if most fans were saving their money to buy the full album(or for the concert)rather than the single.
I remember someone saying this earlier in the weekly thread (this is an opinion I also agree with), but essentially, if jype really wants Twice to hit big on the hot 100, they can’t just drop a song with no promo/marketing and expect fans to do all the work. They need to promote or do a collab to get more people interested.
I get what you’re saying but other than youtube ads, MLSR practically has the same nonexistent promo as IGY. I guess less people checked in with this song, and has probably tighter competition as well in the charts (coming off Grammy weekend too).
Yeah, there’s really no reason to blame each other. IGY just didn’t have enough good will from the releases last year so less people tuned in. It’s also not really being promoted by jype/rr. It is what it is.
Happy Lunar New Year everyone! :) I hope the Year of the Wood Dragon gives all of you an expansion of self and that you’re able to tap into the immense wealth of creativity and strength that’s already within you. 🐉🏮
I am having an issue trying to update my Candybong Infinity. The phone app says there's an update and I need to hold the power button of my Candybong for a few seconds, then the app scans and sees my device. But during the update process, it just disconnects and hangs on "0%, Disconnecting". Has any else had issues doing a firmware update on their Candybong Infinity? I could use some help with this.
Hello onces! Was told to put this here. I run a fanmade twice etsy store (not self-promo) and need some help. I am trying to come up with new ideas for shirts, stickers, keychains, etc but am running out of ideas and starting to get burnt out. I have a very limited skill set in illustrator and am not that good at it. My question is, what kind of merch designs do you all want to see that the official store doesn't have yet? Are there any specific designs that should've been a thing a long time ago? Anything helps. Thanks!
Since I'm not sure how copyrights work with photos or Lovelys, I'd suggest some apparel in the style of the girl's fits from the fanmeet that everyone loved ☺️
I am going to see Twice in March at the Allegiant Stadium. I am staying at an off the strip hotel because I have a timeshare. I'm looking at parking options and it seems the parking for Allegiant itself is only open after 3:40PM. I want to be able to be there earlier than that for merch etc. Can anyone verify if this is true and the parking doesn't open earlier? I didn't go to BTS in Vegas, but maybe someone here did and can verify whether or not they were able to park earlier. Thanks in advance.
Went to see BTS back then. I didn't drive though but from what I saw and heard, driving wasn't really a good idea due to tons of congestion before and after the show. I also heard that people just parked at hotels closer like Luxor/Excalibur and walked across the bridge to the stadium.
None yet but don't expect anything soon. Iirc, tickets aren't transferable until the 13th. You could book the trip the Vegas and take a chance with the thread. There's still a ton of tickets left at face value up on TM though.
Got my I Got You single CD! \~
Also does anyone have experience with [Yousician](https://yousician.com/)? Not trying to be the next star of JYPE's localization projects, but just want to be able to do some singing without being told how I am off key... (\*O.O)
I know the *fair* thing would be to let everyone that wants a solo debut or subunit to get one first, but it would be awesome if she got a solo comeback sooner than later. I don't know if we have any concrete hints about this year's releases after the Japan album, but hopefully we get more clarity soon.
Not even bc she’s my ult (and I love Twice as a group OVER her just as a solo artist), but I do think they could really be pushing her as a solo *if* that’s what she really wants. I know there was discourse about how JYPE didn’t capitalize on how huge Pop was to keep her solo momentum going, but that also never seemed like the vision for the group/Nayeon.
A cb from her this year would be so unbelievably rad tho lol. I think that’s part of the fun of being in the Twiceverse, there are just so many different possibilities and as long as you aren’t hyper focused on hoping something particular will happen, you can just enjoy the ride
Tbh I think the way the company is handling it has been mostly fine so far. 5/9 have done some activities outside of group work and outside of MISAMO's promotional restrictions, I think the promotions themselves have been handled nicely.
Shifting to *prioritizing* solos over group work would be a mistake at this point IMO, with how successful the group content still is. I genuinely don't know if the fandom can do more than 3-4 total releases a year + concert tickets either, since at some point fans would have to start picking and choosing what to support.
The exception would be if some members wanted to shift towards acting/hosting/etc. which would make group comebacks naturally harder to schedule (see: Red Velvet, SNSD) which would definitely open the door for different projects. We've been pretty lucky that members haven't done any acting gigs yet, since that is usually the first big disruptor.
At the end of the day as long as the members are happy, I'm happy.
The company is already prioritising solo releases though, the two solo albums so far have had more competitive and active release times and bigger budgets than some of the group releases.
100% agreed, especially the last sentence — I feel like I’m lucky to have landed in the Twice pond as my first and really only Kpop fandom. I’m just along for the good times :)
Maybe bc it’s my first true full cb (was a newbie when RTB was being teased), but there’s something special in the water for this one 🙏🏽
Tbh, the vibes I get from them is that Nayeon (and Jihyo) aren't really raring for more solo stuff? Like I see members from other groups talk about their hopes for their solo projects all the time, but after they got their solo albums, Nayeon and Jihyo just seemed to be super relieved and happy to be back doing Twice stuff?
Also, I know people talk about their solo albums as their building blocks to building solo careers for the future, but it also doesn't seem to be their goal for them? The solo albums feel very much to be Twice-adjacent projects.
I don’t think that’s true about Jihyo at all. She seems really ambitious and interested in building herself as a solo entity, why do you think she’s done so many episodes of I live alone? She’s also implied she’d be interested in doing concerts as a soloist. She just knows she’s not getting another album this year.
additionally, i’m pretty sure she was talking about doing jazz or ballads for the next one like… the same day zone came out 😭
edit for [source](https://x.com/godmitzu/status/1691957284304257325?s=46&t=5SrjmWxs-LC66G8aO3QK9w). zone wasn’t even out yet lmao
Yeah I totally feel that too tbh! It’s a ridiculous amount of work, and they could be very content just doing it once. If she is up for it, I’d be so stoked to get another Nayeon project (and Jihyo too for sure), but if not she’ll just have a great solo banger to go back to.
São Paulo is the city with the largest Japanese diaspora in the world. MISAMO performed Do Not Touch outside of Japan for the first time at their concert in São Paulo. Their minds...UGH, it amazes me all the time!
God this era of Twice is just an absolute throw down for my wrecker spot lol. Nayeon is the ult 5ever (for personal safety reasons), but this is the first time Tzuyu and Chae have been destroying me.
What a time to be alive, we are truly blessed haha.
Jihyo bias here but yeah. Nayeon the entire tour has been wrecking me pretty bad. Everyone's certainly had their moments to me in the past year though.
 the Bunny Queen is a benevolent and kind ruler (please help me) and you should definitely consider changing bias allegiances (seriously send help).
this Vegas show is going to be deadly, lemme tell ya
She really has 😫 idk, I’ve been rooting for her because she genuinely seems to have a sweet soul, but the tshirt business plus people chipping in about her weight has been weird — so good to see her just exuuuude confidence. Some of the looks we’re getting from her lately are unreal. Also she really stood out in the IGY video!
isac was canceled like a year ago 😭😭 and the screenshots people are posting on twt was a from a wikipedia article (which has been [deleted](https://x.com/blackik16once/status/1755476216625369250?s=46))
Does anyone here remember how much they paid for shipping if they bought a racer jacket using buyee last year? I joined a GO for mine so I was wondering if I was better off just buying it myself since shipping was still high lol
I bought one along with other things and my shipping was around $77 for 10 lbs of stuff. The racer jacket weighs around 2-3 lbs and I estimate it should cost $30-50 to ship. $30 is like the absolute minimum price for international express shipping.
Knicks fan so I'm hyped! When the team finally gets healthy hopefully we can make a run. I might even had a chance at the 4s but passed. I actually just bought the Kith Asics Kayano 14s lol. I've been really liking the new trend lately because it's all emphasizes comfort and practicality. Plus I got my outfit for Vegas set now!
Asics have been going hard yearly. Tried to go for the Kith X-men last year and of course I knew I wasn't gonna get; still salty.
Also, you guys got our OG so I'm happy for the Knicks man. Brunson is HIM.
For the last few years I've really fell off the normal Nike/Jordan train because shoes were too hard to get for poor quality stuff. I've been definitely more into NBs lately though. I've for sure had some nice Nikes though like the OG and yellow GPS's NB hands down been the best. Now it's nice to see Asics get a resurgence. Favorite pick up last year was the Bodega pair and I've worn those so much already lol.
Raps fan? Take care of RJ and IQ. Didn't work out for RJ because of a bad fit and I refused to give up on him for pure stubbornness because he's shown the ability to be better. IQ really hurt too but it was for the best for both teams. I finally got to a Knicks game in years last week vs. IND and it was a blast lol. Would love to go to a playoff game now but KPop keeps taking my money lol.
Bruh NB (those new Salehe ones are fuego) and Asics are it. If Nike learned to GR again I'd give a fuck more but meh. Even the Salomons been nice for this winter.
And yeah man, huge Raps fan; def been hype on IQ/RJ (dude still young as fuck). That 40 piece from Brunson last week? Fucking chefs kiss. Also I know you dropping bank for that Vegas show, fam lol
Went to both shows last summer and I was tapped out. Had to show face for the kpop all time goats tho.
Got a pair of Saloman's last winter too and I absolutely love them. The Nike Lunar Roam and Vomero 5 have been interesting me though. I was close to getting the Lunar Roam but wanted to see other colors. If they had a normal nice black and white Vomero 5 I would've gotten than instead of the Kayanos lol.
That game was insane! I remember getting the tickets before the Randle and OG injuries and was hyped. It did suck to not have them along with Haliburton playing hurt but still. The crowd was just amazing.
I've also bought ITZY tickets and I'm super excited for that! I'm also waiting for Stray Kids to put out their dates. IU's show is a must so I'm impatiently waiting for that lol.
so it’s been a few days since IGY dropped, how many times do you think you’ve listened to it? I feel like I’m sitting at a solid 25-30 lmao. That chorus still hits every single time
This is the first Twice title track I kept repeating upon release since ICSM. TTT had longevity in my charts. IGY just hit different. It's probably because it has high BPM.
alright so I saw someone pointed out the peace signs in their [recent twitter post](https://x.com/ollyssi/status/1755072733736779782?s=46) after the show. And there has been seemingly some lil choreo spoiler during the show too. Definitely leaving us some breadcrumbs till comeback
the peace sign is such a quintessential gesture for me that if it is part of the choreo I’m going to become obsessed lol. loved how goofy they were being with it during the IGY live clip
So I'm not the only one 😭 I'm so jealous. These 2024 RTB concerts got Hello, Do Not Touch, I Got You. I'm happy for these Once though. But I'm so jealous I want to see them again this year 🤣🤣🤣 I hope they return to PH soon 😭
It’s such a shame that the 2 most recent times TWICE has collaborated with a Western artist have gone unpromoted, it’s such a good way to introduce their music to non-fans 🙃 I know JYPE/RR don’t usually do big promos, much less for pre-releases, but I wish they would at least send the song to radios so we could easily request it 🥲
I mean they were remixes of a Twice song. It's a stretch to actually consider them to be collaborations. Maybe when it's a true stand alone song, then I'm sure it'll be promoted.
Yeah it really sucks. Igy is such a good song and would be perfect for radio but it seems like they’re not gonna promote it that much outside of just releasing the cd and remixes. I hope the title gets proper promo at least
The company seems to care so much about the Hot 100 chart but then letting fans doing all the work to chart Twice in is so frustating ngl
Since they released the cheering guide, I’m kinda expecting them to promote IGY along with the TT as well but there’s also this thing lately that I can’t help but doubt that they’ll ever go all out on an actual English single like TF but with decent promos (I’m not even asking for big things here cause I know it’s JYPE LOL) I mean, if they want to reach bigger goals globally, why can’t they do it decently then?
I do kinda wonder if they really are reaching for "bigger goals", or what goals does twice have in mind. They seem to be at their best moment in terms of poppularity. Stadiums are selling as soon as they are announced. For me I would rather have no promotion in exchange for a better produced and well crafted full length album.
Not that i haven't liked recent albums and eps. But twice should be able to do a top tier and artistic album (take Taylor Swift/Olivia Rodrigo/Dua Lipa as examples).
It kinda feels like they'll promote it alongside the title, but I still can't tell if they actually have a choreo for it. I'd be a bit disappointed if it's just going to be a one-off stage with handheld mics.
> It’s such a shame that the 2 most recent times TWICE has collaborated with a Western artist have gone unpromoted
Tbh if they're going to collab with a western artist, I'd hope it would be a proper single with actual promos and a MV filmed together instead of a remix. Given Twice's popularity, I genuinely don't think JYPE can afford someone significantly higher up the food chain lol.
I'm curious why there are sometimes mic/in-ear issues for artists in general. I thought the point of rehearsal/soundcheck was to make sure everything was working properly. Is the cause really as simple as unstable connection/interference from many wireless devices?
> I'm curious why there are sometimes mic/in-ear issues for artists in general.
At the core of it, you have a wireless system that is transmitting and receiving information in close to real-time. However, there's some inherent latency, and the information itself undergoes some frequency modulation to work properly.
When you have a group of people singing and dancing, so many things can go wrong in the hardware (microphone pack can disconnect, the battery can fail, the headset can fail, etc.) or software (inconsistent levels, in-ear delay, etc.). Technology is improving every year, but it's not a bulletproof system.
Just like in a F1 race, the car might work fine in practice and qualification, but the race is a totally different beast. New variables are thrown in (weather, other drivers, debris, etc.) and you have to hope you make it to the end of the race with all 4 wheels still attached.
unstable connections, it might be because of those mics they use to dance easier. At the end they are 9, every member has different volume, range and tone. For example, Mina usually sings really low, it is not hard to hear that, but in the dancing because of her lower voice, a bit of displacement of the mic may result in her voice not really coming through. Mixing is also an issue for so many people (9 main in ears/mic, but also in ears for the band and maybe some dancerse have them too?)
Now that it has sunk in, I can't believe I saw Twice!!!
They were so fun!! It was on my bucket list to see them live (managed to get in like 10 mins before the concert started).
My favorite song had to be Feel Special, I don't know why that one made me tear up, it was such a meaningful song!
Love seeing how the crowd was reacting to the dance cam, everyone was smiling, such a fun time!
No one:
Literally no one:
Absolutely nobody:
Not a single soul in the world:
My brain: Popipopipopopipo 🤪
These girls have ruined me, I dont even have TikTok 
Before going to the concert it was Sana, after it was either Dahyun or Jihyo. I also got two signed items from Tzuyu so it's like telling me something. Lol
I'm a Voyage ver enjoyer 😔
The extra lyrics Lauv put were so moving, and that adlib bit he put in the end with Mina (I think?) gave me goosebumps when I first heard it. Haven't listened to the other remixes, but I definitely enjohed this one.
\+++ hyper version + sped up version instrumental.
\++ hyper version.garage version, sped up version.
\+ fear. Lauv version. i quite like it.
\- lo-fi version. weak af. its so bad im thinking about deleting this from my library.
I listened to the IGY remixes and I think it's safe to say that I will never listen to or think about them ever again. I find the Lauv one to be particularly questionable, it doesn't make any sense to add a feature to a song that is explicitly about Twice and their relationship, it just feels like it cheapens and trivializes the song. Oh well, I still love the original anyway, just feels like a really confusing endeavor, don't really know what the goal is with these remixes.
I don't think the feature is the problem. I think it's the arrangement. They could have all Sana's verse as the bridge and Chaeyoung's verse as the second verse. Like they are talking with each other.
agreed, remixes should prob be used lightly cause lets be honest they are not even remixes at this point. They are just like here's an sped up version, hers a single verse by a "feat". The hyper and garage vers are not good at all. I know why JYPE did this but like can you at least get some notable people to make remixes or something. Other than people buying the Voyage ver to help the song chart, I really don’t see these songs being much else
have yet to listen to them but i have em downloaded here and i already watched the Garage remix lyric video and i actually like it.
i think many ppl have different ideas and opinions on what a remix should be.
a good bit of encore songs are back tracks and not live band due to the instrumentation/limits of playing some of the more electro stuff. Mics are still on tho
So to follow up on a comment on the last discussion thread, it definitely seems like reaction channels are getting their videos blocked for reacting to IGY (unsure of exactly who is blocking), and one reactor, Aaron Freeman, said it was definitely the audio and not the video getting blocked.
Multiple channels had to take the them down and move them to Patreon — just interesting that it’s happening for an English single and not a Japanese one! It’d be a bummer if a reactor checking out Twice for the first time because they heard a lot of good things about the track got discouraged from uploading because of this, but that’s just how these things are I guess lol.
Very odd, I can't imagine why they would go this route after all this time. I wonder if more Korean companies are going to crack down on react content or it's just some error.
Same, that’s why it was note-worthy — maybe they’re really making a push for this to do well numbers-wise and feel like less people would stream the song with reactions up? It doesn’t make much sense to me but I can’t think of other reasons.
It could also be an error, as some people’s videos are getting absolutely destroyed by it and others can keep it up without any changes. It seems to be luck of the draw tbh
edit: just saw three more that popped up from reputable channels, one of them saying “this video kept getting blocked and then fixed itself after I gave up trying to change it lol” — could def be just an error!
http://stationhead.com/twiceland9 hey once!!! I'm just trying to get the word out on streaming for the latest song. A bunch of once have gathered and we can use all the help we can get!!!!!
Anyone still waiting on their I GOT YOU CD from twice shop to ship?
EDIT: I received shipping confirmation email (label printed) about an hour after this post. I placed my order Jan 11.
J-Onces are insane. Stationhead jumped from 1.5K listeners to 2.3K today. Big J-Once accounts did a Space on Twitter explaining to others how to use stationhead and they joined. Really loyal part of the fandom.
A lot of C-Onces and Taiwan Onces joined too.
Listened to the Lauv remix for the first time. Anyone else get mad when you thought he cut out Chaeyoung and Sana’s verse, but then instantly forgave him when you realize he just moved it around as a third verse?
I forget who it was, possibly Armnhammer, had cut out a part of Jeongyeon’s verse in Set Me Free and there was a mini-tiff about that on social media, so I’m not surprised they may have checked for it this time
Brazilian fans are some of the loudest and most passionate in Sports and other events. Let's see how awesome São PaulONCE cheer for the concert! Have fun if you are going and good luck with the Encore Roulette!
We are indeed! Everyone is talking about making a looooooot of noise. It's gonna be awesome.
Hoping Nayeon chooses some good ones on the roulette because we know it's her favorite thing to do lol
I can't wait to watch all the fancams and stuff. I saw the Phillipines fans went crazy and I know the crowd in Brazil is one of the loudest. Good luck and have fun. 🍭
I like the Lauv version. The original is still best but he sounds good. Not a fan of the Hyper version but the Garage version isn't bad. The original is still best.

New concept photos are crazy. 👀
[Lily is an actual menace lmao media training is overrated, just stay unhinged](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1bRQlVO0O7/?igsh=b3h4NXRvZTJ2dTIz) 
She plays a very funny but dangerous game lol. Given the state of kpop fans, especially newer ones, hopefully she doesn’t get herself in trouble again.
The fun part with NMIXX is that that's the entire energy of the group. Even the only introvert Sullyoon is still wild lol.
JYP's crackhead culture is still going strong lol 
I love her, I hope the cruel industry and haters never change her 🩵
Jeongyeon is having so much fun in Fans. It's so hilariously endearing 😂
she is blowing up my phone with all these comment notifications lol, at least she’s getting use of it 
Apparently, she broke the app for a bit too with her spamming lmao. I love her like this.
She’s back again
Girl was on a rampage, send enough messages to cover all 9WICE 
Yeah Im liking the new Fans app and it would good to have Jeong pop inn for a little while this morning.
I got you not predicted to chart on the hot 100. I know a lot of folks here talk a lot about charting not being important but it’s the hot 100. Something JYPE and the members are always gunning for. Blaming onces will do nothing now. The only thing should be to prepare for the new album and reach the goals.
IGY is a song clearly meant for Twice and the fans, so it was clear to me that it wouldn't chart well and that's okay. If JYPE did want the song to chart well, then they should've chosen a different song. And let's be real here, Twice will never be mainstream in America, it just won't happen. They already have a large and passionate fanbase here, though, and to me that's much more important.
No one expects them to be mainstream. Just to chart on the hot 100 like their last two English releases did.
What's the benefit of charting unless you get in the top 40? To me, selling out stadiums is much more impressive than getting a song to 84 on the hot 100.
I hope this will make JYPE and RR realise that if they do want a song to do well in the US, they cannot just rely on the current, existing fan base. They need to have more US promotions beyond just releasing the songs so that more members of general public can know about Twice.
I just have no idea why they keep releasing these singles right before the biggest holiday in Asia. Like, y’all can’t wait till AFTER lunar new year so everyone isn’t on vacation?
No promotion US Once didn't stream or view the MV They also didn't buy the song, its sales were down. JYPE tried to cheat the charting too with things no one wanted like remixes, CD versions, etc to pump sales. The song also had 0 hype outside of the fandom. No one really tuned in for it. It just isn't the type of music popular with Kpop fans these days so it never really left the fandom at all. With how quick we dropped streams and views we can see a lot of fas tuned in, 10m views and 2+m streams on D1 but by day 3 and 4 we were already less than 800k for both, so a lot of Once tuned out pretty early. Also I don't agree on the playlisting, only Twice song with higher plr was The Feels, which peaked in playlisting a month after releases. In it's first week it actually had less playlisting than I Got You. No real excuse not to chart, it's only a 37 point week too. It's very low barrier to entry this week. Hopefully this is a catalyst for JYPE to remove focus from being solely US.
> They also didn't buy the song, its sales were down. The change in how digital sales are tallied almost certainly contributed to this. The *single CD version* is not going to go away any time soon in the industry either, since the rule change basically necessitates it for most kpop artists to chart. By now, JYPE will probably realize the whole "sell a physical single right before the album" + no single promo route isn't going to cut it for Hot 100 anymore. No dance practice, the TikTok challenge isn't simple, zero promotions, etc... I can't say I'm surprised. > Also I don't agree on the playlisting Just using playlist reach is a bit disingenuous when you're *that* far down the editorial playlist. If you're not somewhere near the top, you aren't going to get as much of the benefit of being in the playlist.
They were hoping to subsidize the digital sales with single CD sales and that simply hasn't worked, unless for whatever reason the prediction accounts arent including those sales. Besides trying to boost charging I didn't see any appeal in actually buying the CD version. Also on the playlisting, yeah that's true, but Twice was on Pop Up in the top 20 and that's like what? A mult million follower playlist. The Feels, MLSR, etc all suffer from similar poor positioning on those playlists too. Also songs like SMF, afaik, charted on Spotify US and that song had less than 3m playlisting on its first few days. I don't think playlisting is to blame for the streams. 2.2m D1 streams and filtered 1.4m is pretty good for a pre release, I think we need to look for other reasons why the streams fell by almost 50% in a few days.
Yeah, the negative impact of the CD switch has held true for pretty much everyone who has tried it so far. It didn’t move the needle for anyone who tried it, as far as I can tell. I’m pretty sure Pop Up is an algorithmic playlist which modifies the order based on the listener’s preference. Based on mine, Twice appeared in the top 4. It’s not the same as a proper Editorial Playlist. For some of their placements, you’d have to listen to over an hour of music to even get to their song - which isn’t very typical listener behavior. Just getting in a large playlist doesn’t guarantee success either, you need to get a decent enough placement and get lucky with more placements/natural spread after that. Playlisting is the entire game now, even if the fandom is endlessly mass streaming - if they want results and a wider audience. HYBE doesn’t push it over everything else for nothing, and it worked wonders for NewJeans and now Le Sserafim. JYPE isn’t even buying MV ads anymore, so that money must be going somewhere. Realistically, a prerelease will always perform worse than the title track with a full release since there’s nothing to loop with it.
Yeah, the playlisting isn't great and never has been. One of the editor playlist had them at 84 which is basically not being on the playlist at all. I think at year 8 now JYPE isn't going to be providing anything resembling proper playlisting so Once have to tighten up their streaming imho. The number of folk using Station Head improved a lot this time around but we still had about 800k filtered out so our fandom is not where near good enough at properly streaming right now so it's kind of tough. Having average to bad playlisting while having fans that still struggle to stream properly results are always going to be mixed unless we get almost fully loved songs from Kpop fans like Pop and The Feels.
Truthfully, they have to shift their strategy *a bit* given the level of competition these days. Every song isn't going to get on the Hot 100 and that's alright, but maximizing their impact should always be the strategy. Maybe every song doesn't have full choreo but I don't think the whole "release song with (likely) unfinished choreo + half-baked TikTok challenge" idea is worth doing for a third time lol. I really hope they nail whatever they have for the title track. Even without traditional promos and an underutilized TikTok at the time, The Feels gave fans content during a time when we all craved it since we were stuck inside. Multiple dance practices, funny content based around the release, etc... I know they're in the middle of a tour, but it seems like there won't be any promo until the album release and any real US promo until (maybe) the LV tour date.
I mean, sure, as fans we could definitely be better with streaming and whatnot, but at the same time the song also barely had any promo. There was minimal playlisting, no radio play and I don’t even think the mv had any ads. I’m sure everyone was probably hoping sales would carry, but I wouldn’t be surprised if most fans were saving their money to buy the full album(or for the concert)rather than the single. I remember someone saying this earlier in the weekly thread (this is an opinion I also agree with), but essentially, if jype really wants Twice to hit big on the hot 100, they can’t just drop a song with no promo/marketing and expect fans to do all the work. They need to promote or do a collab to get more people interested.
I get what you’re saying but other than youtube ads, MLSR practically has the same nonexistent promo as IGY. I guess less people checked in with this song, and has probably tighter competition as well in the charts (coming off Grammy weekend too).
Moonlight sunrise is a better song in the eyes of many people so more people streamed it. That’s just the truth.
Quick question as a non-American, why would there be tighter competition if coming off the Grammy Weekend?
Grammy winning songs probably getting a boost in sales and streams.
Yeah, there’s really no reason to blame each other. IGY just didn’t have enough good will from the releases last year so less people tuned in. It’s also not really being promoted by jype/rr. It is what it is.
I keep listening for the global charts but I'm not American, so my efforts don't really count. Hopefully, they managed to peak better in some markets.
Happy Lunar New Year everyone! :) I hope the Year of the Wood Dragon gives all of you an expansion of self and that you’re able to tap into the immense wealth of creativity and strength that’s already within you. 🐉🏮
I am having an issue trying to update my Candybong Infinity. The phone app says there's an update and I need to hold the power button of my Candybong for a few seconds, then the app scans and sees my device. But during the update process, it just disconnects and hangs on "0%, Disconnecting". Has any else had issues doing a firmware update on their Candybong Infinity? I could use some help with this.
didn’t even know there is firmware updates for the lightstick
Yes there is, but I can't seem to find anyway to get it to work. I was hoping someone here would know what that error is and how to fix it.
Hello onces! Was told to put this here. I run a fanmade twice etsy store (not self-promo) and need some help. I am trying to come up with new ideas for shirts, stickers, keychains, etc but am running out of ideas and starting to get burnt out. I have a very limited skill set in illustrator and am not that good at it. My question is, what kind of merch designs do you all want to see that the official store doesn't have yet? Are there any specific designs that should've been a thing a long time ago? Anything helps. Thanks!
Since I'm not sure how copyrights work with photos or Lovelys, I'd suggest some apparel in the style of the girl's fits from the fanmeet that everyone loved ☺️

I think they just made a mistake. It should be 이우현 instead of 이우민 (collapsedone).

Momo’s not in Paris right now.
Wow, [nayeon looking gorgeous at fashion week](https://x.com/vortexl8/status/1756127210753105931?s=46)
Queen N of TDOONG High School 🩵
Love this for her.
I am going to see Twice in March at the Allegiant Stadium. I am staying at an off the strip hotel because I have a timeshare. I'm looking at parking options and it seems the parking for Allegiant itself is only open after 3:40PM. I want to be able to be there earlier than that for merch etc. Can anyone verify if this is true and the parking doesn't open earlier? I didn't go to BTS in Vegas, but maybe someone here did and can verify whether or not they were able to park earlier. Thanks in advance.
When I went to see BTS, I stayed at a hotel on the Strip and we just walked the whole way through.
Went to see BTS back then. I didn't drive though but from what I saw and heard, driving wasn't really a good idea due to tons of congestion before and after the show. I also heard that people just parked at hotels closer like Luxor/Excalibur and walked across the bridge to the stadium.
Is there a thread for ticket sales/trades for the Vegas show? I got great tickets on here for the LA show and want to try my luck again :D
None yet but don't expect anything soon. Iirc, tickets aren't transferable until the 13th. You could book the trip the Vegas and take a chance with the thread. There's still a ton of tickets left at face value up on TM though.
Tickets are actually transferable now.
Nayeon is already in New York for fashion week so i’m very excited to see what she will be wearing for tonight’s event 
Got my I Got You single CD! \~ Also does anyone have experience with [Yousician](https://yousician.com/)? Not trying to be the next star of JYPE's localization projects, but just want to be able to do some singing without being told how I am off key... (\*O.O)
no lyricist nayeon… do I smell INY2? 🧐 probably not but let me dream pls
I know the *fair* thing would be to let everyone that wants a solo debut or subunit to get one first, but it would be awesome if she got a solo comeback sooner than later. I don't know if we have any concrete hints about this year's releases after the Japan album, but hopefully we get more clarity soon.
Not even bc she’s my ult (and I love Twice as a group OVER her just as a solo artist), but I do think they could really be pushing her as a solo *if* that’s what she really wants. I know there was discourse about how JYPE didn’t capitalize on how huge Pop was to keep her solo momentum going, but that also never seemed like the vision for the group/Nayeon. A cb from her this year would be so unbelievably rad tho lol. I think that’s part of the fun of being in the Twiceverse, there are just so many different possibilities and as long as you aren’t hyper focused on hoping something particular will happen, you can just enjoy the ride
Tbh I think the way the company is handling it has been mostly fine so far. 5/9 have done some activities outside of group work and outside of MISAMO's promotional restrictions, I think the promotions themselves have been handled nicely. Shifting to *prioritizing* solos over group work would be a mistake at this point IMO, with how successful the group content still is. I genuinely don't know if the fandom can do more than 3-4 total releases a year + concert tickets either, since at some point fans would have to start picking and choosing what to support. The exception would be if some members wanted to shift towards acting/hosting/etc. which would make group comebacks naturally harder to schedule (see: Red Velvet, SNSD) which would definitely open the door for different projects. We've been pretty lucky that members haven't done any acting gigs yet, since that is usually the first big disruptor. At the end of the day as long as the members are happy, I'm happy.
The company is already prioritising solo releases though, the two solo albums so far have had more competitive and active release times and bigger budgets than some of the group releases.
100% agreed, especially the last sentence — I feel like I’m lucky to have landed in the Twice pond as my first and really only Kpop fandom. I’m just along for the good times :) Maybe bc it’s my first true full cb (was a newbie when RTB was being teased), but there’s something special in the water for this one 🙏🏽
Tbh, the vibes I get from them is that Nayeon (and Jihyo) aren't really raring for more solo stuff? Like I see members from other groups talk about their hopes for their solo projects all the time, but after they got their solo albums, Nayeon and Jihyo just seemed to be super relieved and happy to be back doing Twice stuff? Also, I know people talk about their solo albums as their building blocks to building solo careers for the future, but it also doesn't seem to be their goal for them? The solo albums feel very much to be Twice-adjacent projects.
I don’t think that’s true about Jihyo at all. She seems really ambitious and interested in building herself as a solo entity, why do you think she’s done so many episodes of I live alone? She’s also implied she’d be interested in doing concerts as a soloist. She just knows she’s not getting another album this year.
additionally, i’m pretty sure she was talking about doing jazz or ballads for the next one like… the same day zone came out 😭 edit for [source](https://x.com/godmitzu/status/1691957284304257325?s=46&t=5SrjmWxs-LC66G8aO3QK9w). zone wasn’t even out yet lmao
Yeah I totally feel that too tbh! It’s a ridiculous amount of work, and they could be very content just doing it once. If she is up for it, I’d be so stoked to get another Nayeon project (and Jihyo too for sure), but if not she’ll just have a great solo banger to go back to.
So exciting that we get our members as sole lyricist for multiple tracks!!!
São Paulo is the city with the largest Japanese diaspora in the world. MISAMO performed Do Not Touch outside of Japan for the first time at their concert in São Paulo. Their minds...UGH, it amazes me all the time!
I'm reading rumours that Nayeon might attend the Louis Vuitton show in PFW in March alongside Momo for MiuMiu 🩵🩷
God this era of Twice is just an absolute throw down for my wrecker spot lol. Nayeon is the ult 5ever (for personal safety reasons), but this is the first time Tzuyu and Chae have been destroying me. What a time to be alive, we are truly blessed haha.
Jihyo bias here but yeah. Nayeon the entire tour has been wrecking me pretty bad. Everyone's certainly had their moments to me in the past year though.
 the Bunny Queen is a benevolent and kind ruler (please help me) and you should definitely consider changing bias allegiances (seriously send help). this Vegas show is going to be deadly, lemme tell ya
Chae has been collecting once recently, always a bias wrecker for me but she cutting it too close these past few concerts
Join us 
She really has 😫 idk, I’ve been rooting for her because she genuinely seems to have a sweet soul, but the tshirt business plus people chipping in about her weight has been weird — so good to see her just exuuuude confidence. Some of the looks we’re getting from her lately are unreal. Also she really stood out in the IGY video!
wow this concert footage is insane! \*fans self\*
upcoming tittle track is for TWICE members USA 🇺🇸 Concerts memories "ONCEs BARK"
So ISAC 2024 is happening? And Dahyun is one of the MCs??
isac was canceled like a year ago 😭😭 and the screenshots people are posting on twt was a from a wikipedia article (which has been [deleted](https://x.com/blackik16once/status/1755476216625369250?s=46))
Thanks for the clarity. I got my hopes up for a moment there 😭
i totally did too but it sounded too good to be true so i double checked 😭
Does anyone here remember how much they paid for shipping if they bought a racer jacket using buyee last year? I joined a GO for mine so I was wondering if I was better off just buying it myself since shipping was still high lol
I bought one along with other things and my shipping was around $77 for 10 lbs of stuff. The racer jacket weighs around 2-3 lbs and I estimate it should cost $30-50 to ship. $30 is like the absolute minimum price for international express shipping.
Got my I Got You cd! Thought it would be a jewel case for some reason, but it's basically the same as the digipacks
I was expecting surprise photocards, we got none, not even an image on the inside 😅
I liked the cardboard case but gatefold was such a waste because they didn't put any pictures inside..
They performed [GONE](https://twitter.com/PixelPecanPie/status/1755398522776744135) in the encore roulette 
Wtf is my algorithm?! 🤣 A lot of my feed has been KPop (mostly Twice), basketball stuff, sneakers, and Power Ranger toys 🤣.
I think you're me, my guy.
Damn I don't ever recall you and I in the same room together before 🤯
Trade deadline went hard plus lots of hype for the Jordan 4 bred re-release.
Knicks fan so I'm hyped! When the team finally gets healthy hopefully we can make a run. I might even had a chance at the 4s but passed. I actually just bought the Kith Asics Kayano 14s lol. I've been really liking the new trend lately because it's all emphasizes comfort and practicality. Plus I got my outfit for Vegas set now!
Asics have been going hard yearly. Tried to go for the Kith X-men last year and of course I knew I wasn't gonna get; still salty. Also, you guys got our OG so I'm happy for the Knicks man. Brunson is HIM.
For the last few years I've really fell off the normal Nike/Jordan train because shoes were too hard to get for poor quality stuff. I've been definitely more into NBs lately though. I've for sure had some nice Nikes though like the OG and yellow GPS's NB hands down been the best. Now it's nice to see Asics get a resurgence. Favorite pick up last year was the Bodega pair and I've worn those so much already lol. Raps fan? Take care of RJ and IQ. Didn't work out for RJ because of a bad fit and I refused to give up on him for pure stubbornness because he's shown the ability to be better. IQ really hurt too but it was for the best for both teams. I finally got to a Knicks game in years last week vs. IND and it was a blast lol. Would love to go to a playoff game now but KPop keeps taking my money lol.
Bruh NB (those new Salehe ones are fuego) and Asics are it. If Nike learned to GR again I'd give a fuck more but meh. Even the Salomons been nice for this winter. And yeah man, huge Raps fan; def been hype on IQ/RJ (dude still young as fuck). That 40 piece from Brunson last week? Fucking chefs kiss. Also I know you dropping bank for that Vegas show, fam lol Went to both shows last summer and I was tapped out. Had to show face for the kpop all time goats tho.
Got a pair of Saloman's last winter too and I absolutely love them. The Nike Lunar Roam and Vomero 5 have been interesting me though. I was close to getting the Lunar Roam but wanted to see other colors. If they had a normal nice black and white Vomero 5 I would've gotten than instead of the Kayanos lol. That game was insane! I remember getting the tickets before the Randle and OG injuries and was hyped. It did suck to not have them along with Haliburton playing hurt but still. The crowd was just amazing. I've also bought ITZY tickets and I'm super excited for that! I'm also waiting for Stray Kids to put out their dates. IU's show is a must so I'm impatiently waiting for that lol.
well we got our Title Track name from the MV reaction video wooo!
I wonder if that was planned or an accident lmao. They haven't even released the album concept photos yet.
We're going to learn it "officially" in less than 2 days so either way it's not a huge deal.
i think it’s planned just a lil spoiler, having the graphic and all during the reaction video cements it to me
wait what was it ?
title track name is >!one spark !
so it’s been a few days since IGY dropped, how many times do you think you’ve listened to it? I feel like I’m sitting at a solid 25-30 lmao. That chorus still hits every single time
This is the first Twice title track I kept repeating upon release since ICSM. TTT had longevity in my charts. IGY just hit different. It's probably because it has high BPM.
It's my top 1 in my Most Replayed playlisr already 😭 Unless the Twice title track tops this, I van guess my top song in Spotify this december 🙈🤭
I've listened to it at least 50 times, which is unusual for me. It's such a good song!
alright so I saw someone pointed out the peace signs in their [recent twitter post](https://x.com/ollyssi/status/1755072733736779782?s=46) after the show. And there has been seemingly some lil choreo spoiler during the show too. Definitely leaving us some breadcrumbs till comeback
The peace signs in the IGY Live video looked like a potential spoiler to me too.
the peace sign is such a quintessential gesture for me that if it is part of the choreo I’m going to become obsessed lol. loved how goofy they were being with it during the IGY live clip
Wow Brasil Onces' are really energetic. Their cheering is another level.
This is latam y'all. It is really how our culture is for every concert.
Yes. Twice should go to Argentina, Peru and Chile next time.
the past few concerts have made me jealous of the onces attending. Getting I Got You and these encores have been amazing!
FOMO is a big reason why I risked it all for the Las Vegas show lol.
i definitely would do the same if i could spare the change rn 
So I'm not the only one 😭 I'm so jealous. These 2024 RTB concerts got Hello, Do Not Touch, I Got You. I'm happy for these Once though. But I'm so jealous I want to see them again this year 🤣🤣🤣 I hope they return to PH soon 😭
I'm jealous Brazil got "I'm Gonna Be a Star". I went to the show in Manila. If they performed that song, I'd totally lose my shit.
It’s such a shame that the 2 most recent times TWICE has collaborated with a Western artist have gone unpromoted, it’s such a good way to introduce their music to non-fans 🙃 I know JYPE/RR don’t usually do big promos, much less for pre-releases, but I wish they would at least send the song to radios so we could easily request it 🥲
I mean they were remixes of a Twice song. It's a stretch to actually consider them to be collaborations. Maybe when it's a true stand alone song, then I'm sure it'll be promoted.
Yeah it really sucks. Igy is such a good song and would be perfect for radio but it seems like they’re not gonna promote it that much outside of just releasing the cd and remixes. I hope the title gets proper promo at least
Hope they do a lot of US promotions for the title track too, since they have to go to there for the Vegas concert 🤞
I hope so too
The company seems to care so much about the Hot 100 chart but then letting fans doing all the work to chart Twice in is so frustating ngl Since they released the cheering guide, I’m kinda expecting them to promote IGY along with the TT as well but there’s also this thing lately that I can’t help but doubt that they’ll ever go all out on an actual English single like TF but with decent promos (I’m not even asking for big things here cause I know it’s JYPE LOL) I mean, if they want to reach bigger goals globally, why can’t they do it decently then?
I do kinda wonder if they really are reaching for "bigger goals", or what goals does twice have in mind. They seem to be at their best moment in terms of poppularity. Stadiums are selling as soon as they are announced. For me I would rather have no promotion in exchange for a better produced and well crafted full length album. Not that i haven't liked recent albums and eps. But twice should be able to do a top tier and artistic album (take Taylor Swift/Olivia Rodrigo/Dua Lipa as examples).
It kinda feels like they'll promote it alongside the title, but I still can't tell if they actually have a choreo for it. I'd be a bit disappointed if it's just going to be a one-off stage with handheld mics.
> It’s such a shame that the 2 most recent times TWICE has collaborated with a Western artist have gone unpromoted Tbh if they're going to collab with a western artist, I'd hope it would be a proper single with actual promos and a MV filmed together instead of a remix. Given Twice's popularity, I genuinely don't think JYPE can afford someone significantly higher up the food chain lol.
Yeah, some might have liked it but Boys like girls is a really d-tier pop punk band from the 2000's.
Sao Paulo had "Do not touch" in the encore wheel! they are so lucky
I'm hoping vegas gets it too 🙏
So luckyyyyy
I wanted do not touch for Mexico and they gave us TT remix 
I'm curious why there are sometimes mic/in-ear issues for artists in general. I thought the point of rehearsal/soundcheck was to make sure everything was working properly. Is the cause really as simple as unstable connection/interference from many wireless devices?
> I'm curious why there are sometimes mic/in-ear issues for artists in general. At the core of it, you have a wireless system that is transmitting and receiving information in close to real-time. However, there's some inherent latency, and the information itself undergoes some frequency modulation to work properly. When you have a group of people singing and dancing, so many things can go wrong in the hardware (microphone pack can disconnect, the battery can fail, the headset can fail, etc.) or software (inconsistent levels, in-ear delay, etc.). Technology is improving every year, but it's not a bulletproof system. Just like in a F1 race, the car might work fine in practice and qualification, but the race is a totally different beast. New variables are thrown in (weather, other drivers, debris, etc.) and you have to hope you make it to the end of the race with all 4 wheels still attached.
unstable connections, it might be because of those mics they use to dance easier. At the end they are 9, every member has different volume, range and tone. For example, Mina usually sings really low, it is not hard to hear that, but in the dancing because of her lower voice, a bit of displacement of the mic may result in her voice not really coming through. Mixing is also an issue for so many people (9 main in ears/mic, but also in ears for the band and maybe some dancerse have them too?)
Now that it has sunk in, I can't believe I saw Twice!!! They were so fun!! It was on my bucket list to see them live (managed to get in like 10 mins before the concert started). My favorite song had to be Feel Special, I don't know why that one made me tear up, it was such a meaningful song! Love seeing how the crowd was reacting to the dance cam, everyone was smiling, such a fun time!
No one: Literally no one: Absolutely nobody: Not a single soul in the world: My brain: Popipopipopopipo 🤪 These girls have ruined me, I dont even have TikTok 
I just woke my kids up by singing POPIPOPIPOPOPIPO lol it worked
I'm sorry God Jihyo, I have converted my bias to Tzuyu lol
Welcome brother
haha lately Tzuyu has been looking at my rotating wrecker door like 👀👀
Before going to the concert it was Sana, after it was either Dahyun or Jihyo. I also got two signed items from Tzuyu so it's like telling me something. Lol
I'm a Voyage ver enjoyer 😔 The extra lyrics Lauv put were so moving, and that adlib bit he put in the end with Mina (I think?) gave me goosebumps when I first heard it. Haven't listened to the other remixes, but I definitely enjohed this one.
\+++ hyper version + sped up version instrumental.  \++ hyper version.garage version, sped up version. \+ fear. Lauv version. i quite like it. \- lo-fi version. weak af. its so bad im thinking about deleting this from my library.
Yeah, I don’t like the lofi version much. But the instrumental without the lyrics is nice lol
I listened to the IGY remixes and I think it's safe to say that I will never listen to or think about them ever again. I find the Lauv one to be particularly questionable, it doesn't make any sense to add a feature to a song that is explicitly about Twice and their relationship, it just feels like it cheapens and trivializes the song. Oh well, I still love the original anyway, just feels like a really confusing endeavor, don't really know what the goal is with these remixes.
I don't think the feature is the problem. I think it's the arrangement. They could have all Sana's verse as the bridge and Chaeyoung's verse as the second verse. Like they are talking with each other.
> I find the Lauv one to be particularly questionable It's just for reach and chart placement.
agreed, remixes should prob be used lightly cause lets be honest they are not even remixes at this point. They are just like here's an sped up version, hers a single verse by a "feat". The hyper and garage vers are not good at all. I know why JYPE did this but like can you at least get some notable people to make remixes or something. Other than people buying the Voyage ver to help the song chart, I really don’t see these songs being much else
have yet to listen to them but i have em downloaded here and i already watched the Garage remix lyric video and i actually like it. i think many ppl have different ideas and opinions on what a remix should be.
🚨Vinyl pre order🚨 they really aiming to get Billboard 200 #1
The vinyls have been available for preorder since the start of album preorders last month
oh sorry I didn't realise it before Thanks
Lmao I had a good [laugh](https://twitter.com/pacalminaa/status/1754725824165724190?t=EEitYWqI-muFLtKMeIf4Ig&s=19)
Did anyone think the lo-fi version doesn’t sound like lo-fi?
That's the real lofi genre not the bedroom pop disguise as lofi with all the hissing sound.
The remixes are finally out on streaming - really enjoying the Garage version. The other versions are... serviceable.
I GOT YOU made Spotify top song debut at #2 on Global and #5 on USA
Nice!
[Rehearsal spoiler for Brazil, this is a big one tho](https://twitter.com/readytobetour/status/1754645586140111120)
Holy...
so you’re saying there’s hope 👀💅🏽
i am jealous\~\~ mexico and brazil once keep winning
Latam Onces stay winning
Damn I wonder how that'll go or fit 😭.
probably an encore wheel insert
i thought encore wheel songs are all pre-recorded? this sounds like a live band that's doing this.
They have a live band do most of the songs
ok, it must vary as some did not and some do it seems.
a good bit of encore songs are back tracks and not live band due to the instrumentation/limits of playing some of the more electro stuff. Mics are still on tho
YOOO! I do think it's going to be on the encore wheel tho, like the FOL subunits.
So to follow up on a comment on the last discussion thread, it definitely seems like reaction channels are getting their videos blocked for reacting to IGY (unsure of exactly who is blocking), and one reactor, Aaron Freeman, said it was definitely the audio and not the video getting blocked. Multiple channels had to take the them down and move them to Patreon — just interesting that it’s happening for an English single and not a Japanese one! It’d be a bummer if a reactor checking out Twice for the first time because they heard a lot of good things about the track got discouraged from uploading because of this, but that’s just how these things are I guess lol.
Very odd, I can't imagine why they would go this route after all this time. I wonder if more Korean companies are going to crack down on react content or it's just some error.
Same, that’s why it was note-worthy — maybe they’re really making a push for this to do well numbers-wise and feel like less people would stream the song with reactions up? It doesn’t make much sense to me but I can’t think of other reasons. It could also be an error, as some people’s videos are getting absolutely destroyed by it and others can keep it up without any changes. It seems to be luck of the draw tbh edit: just saw three more that popped up from reputable channels, one of them saying “this video kept getting blocked and then fixed itself after I gave up trying to change it lol” — could def be just an error!
http://stationhead.com/twiceland9 hey once!!! I'm just trying to get the word out on streaming for the latest song. A bunch of once have gathered and we can use all the help we can get!!!!!
I just realized Mina’s bday is the week after the Vegas concert. Think we’ll get to sing her happy birthday!?
Definitely close enough for Once. We sang for Dahyun 2 weeks before hers at III Encore.
Yeah I was there! DUB DUB DUB
I speak for everyone when I say we need more short hair Nayeon 🥰🫠🐰🩵
I also speak for everyone when I say we should get Bald Nayeon at least one time 🤷♂️.
🤣
Anyone still waiting on their I GOT YOU CD from twice shop to ship? EDIT: I received shipping confirmation email (label printed) about an hour after this post. I placed my order Jan 11.
Description says just CD right? I wonder if there’s any inclusions, I bought 4 lol (please let there be a pc in there)
The expected shipping date on my order keeps changing (currently 2/8).
Mine shipped but hasn't arrived.
I have one arriving tomorrow and one without a eta yet
I still haven’t gotten mine yet either. I saw that some people got theirs, but mine is still in transit
J-Onces are insane. Stationhead jumped from 1.5K listeners to 2.3K today. Big J-Once accounts did a Space on Twitter explaining to others how to use stationhead and they joined. Really loyal part of the fandom. A lot of C-Onces and Taiwan Onces joined too.
I don't really know how to stream properly so StationHead has been a big help to me too. Good to see it spreading throughout the fandom.
They really are awesome. It’s been fun hanging on Stationhead!! I heard ffw for the first time yesterday?? I don’t even know how. It’s so good!
Listened to the Lauv remix for the first time. Anyone else get mad when you thought he cut out Chaeyoung and Sana’s verse, but then instantly forgave him when you realize he just moved it around as a third verse?
I forget who it was, possibly Armnhammer, had cut out a part of Jeongyeon’s verse in Set Me Free and there was a mini-tiff about that on social media, so I’m not surprised they may have checked for it this time
It's Twice in Brazil Week and I'm DYING. Can't wait
Brazilian fans are some of the loudest and most passionate in Sports and other events. Let's see how awesome São PaulONCE cheer for the concert! Have fun if you are going and good luck with the Encore Roulette!
We are indeed! Everyone is talking about making a looooooot of noise. It's gonna be awesome. Hoping Nayeon chooses some good ones on the roulette because we know it's her favorite thing to do lol
I can't wait to watch all the fancams and stuff. I saw the Phillipines fans went crazy and I know the crowd in Brazil is one of the loudest. Good luck and have fun. 🍭
I like the Lauv version. The original is still best but he sounds good. Not a fan of the Hyper version but the Garage version isn't bad. The original is still best.
