I love this vibe. Very city pop. My fav songs by them have this sound: Say Something, Push & Pull, Dive. Also, some of my fav TWICE songs are Japanese tracks: Doughnut, Better, Hare Hare.
Oh you know I totally didn’t even mention the city pop vibe this song gives off during our vid lol whoops. Probably another reason the song was great! I love Doughnut but I think BDZ is up there for me also
Eversince MISAMO debuted, the J-Line has gotten, if not more lines on their most recent tracks with Momo returning to the rap line. The even lines for the girls have started (in my experience) since Eyes Wide Open and was more evident in O+T =
Yo I did start to notice that also! I can’t remember when the JLine started getting more lines but I’m glad Momo went back to rapping. Feel like they didn’t give her much when she didn’t rap
Let me see if with my little knowledge I can enlighten you a little. When Twice started Kpop and Jpop were two COMPLETELY separate entities and very much rivals. In fact the countries hated each other (see history of Japanese occupation of Korea). A few Kpop groups and one solo artist made in roads but to be popular you had to play by their rules so yes the first couple of albums conformed totally to Jpop standards (you can't change things if you don't get in the door). Well Twice actually blew the doors open into the Japanese market (see the true definition of your name) by doing it their way but have, just like in the states, managed to slowly change the expectations which is why now Kpop groups can release songs that are more Kpop oriented in Japan and be successful, although to my knowledge Twice still out sells any other Kpop group in Japan (think J-line). So to be fair you really need to check out the later Japanese releases they are much more Twice than Candy Pop which was obviously made for teenage Japanese girls and was a smash hit in Japan. Try Perfect World the transitions alone should make it worth a watch. OT9 forever (TIMELESS).
Oh yea comparing the first couple of Japanese releases to now is like night and day lol. I’m really glad this started to happen so a lot of these groups didn’t lose their sound to cater to other markets. Twice forever 💜💜
