erve-racking MN : My heart was thumping so hard, but my body felt all solid JY : Because we have so many members in Twice JY : We had to practice our positions a lot TZ : Since this was our first stage in Japan, I was afraid I might get very nervous TZ : So I went through rehearsals like it was the actual performance TZ : So I could do well on the actual stage CY : Even though it was just rehearsals CY : Trying to match the actual performance CY : we practiced very carefully So that we don't m

JY : The members were feeling very anxious JY : They were trying to remember their Japanese even until right before the event started JY : So to untangle some of that tension JY : I started fooling around and dancing funnily MM : The moment we entered the stage, looking at all the candy bongs MM : So many people, standing together in files TZ : Th

e moment the opening video began playing TZ : Once all started cheering so loudly TZ : Really, I felt goosebumps JY : "This many people came to our show?" JY : "How did they come to know of us?" JY : It was really amazing SN : There was like no empty space at all SN : It was so packed, we could see almost nothing but people's heads SN : I kept thinking, "They're sparkling so bright!" SN : It was only because of hearing all their cheering that our anxiety slowly dissolved away JH : Something wo

nderful which we hadn't experienced before JH : was when everyone just stood up when we walked on to the stage ! JH : I was surprised at that DH : Seeing their happy faces, made us happy too MN : I was really really nervous MN : To the point that I couldn't even remember what had happened right before MN : But when we came on stage, everyone started dancing with us together MN : Because of that it was a lot of fun, and all our stage fright went flying out of the window NY : It was super fun

NY : It was nerveracking in the beginning but NY : Entering the stage then and seeing all the fans... NY : They were having so much fun NY : They looked like they were very happy MM : There were so many more fans than what we'd expected MM : Since this was just a showcase, it was our first performance MM : To be able to stand on such a big stage, I was touched SN : Once, we finally meet! We have been looking forward to this! SN : Have you been waiting for us too? JY : To be to able to talk wi

th Once, we studied a lot of Japanese DH : It's your tofu, Dahyun! DH : I am really nervous DH : Today, together, with a lot of energy, and fun DH : it was a lot fun~ (*she wanted to say "have fun") CY : Let's keep up this excitement until the end NY : With this our Japanese will become better NY : Then it'll be great when we can talk with everyone more, right? NY : I think there are a lot of people who wouldn't know Korean NY : When we perform in Korea, since we talk in Korean NY : We crack jok

es and talk a lot NY : But this time, I couldn't speak at that level NY : It's our debut showcase after all NY : How I felt in the moment, or something I wanted to talk about; I wanted to convey these things NY : But I was way more nervous that I'd thought I'd be NY : I was so self-conscious NY : Even though I had Japanese on my mind the whole time, just before MM : Even though I had performed in Japan a lot before MM : Talking to the people in Japanese on stage like this was a first for me M

M : And so I was really nervous, but everyone cheered me on MM : That left an impression on me CY : Everyone was trying their best to speak Japanese CY : Since we were worried that we'd make mistakes CY : We asked the Japanese members about many things CY : They also gave us advice on what we should do CY : That is how we prepared SN : When it was time for the members to speak in Japanese and show what they've learned SN : Even though I've heard them speak before SN : I didn't even know SN : To

find out that the members knew even these words SN : I was quite surprised SN : They'd say a word but then the 2nd time they'd use a synonym instead T/N : Rough translation SN : Not only did they use similar words SN : They also remembered the tongue twisters that they were taught SN : I thought that was amazing SN : I found myself admiring them I thought, "This is going to be fun" SN : Jeongyeon here has practiced some tongue twisters, don't you all want to see her try? MM : I sure do JY :

Yes I can Can you still say the tongue twisters? JY : But Jihyo wanted to do it so I let her handle it JY : Nowdays Jihyo is better at it than me JH : Let me practice it once JH : Let me try JH : Wasn't that good? JH : Was it not? JH : I wanted to do this on coming to Japan JH : I'm asked this a lot in broadcasts, 'what Japanese I've recently learned' JH : I get asked this a lot but JH : I haven't learned any fun things to say in Japanese JH : Because I've been learning grammar off late JH : And

since that's not interesting at all JH : I learned some tongue twisters from Jeongyeon JH : She wasn't that good at it anyways JH : So I sort of stole it from her JY : Melonpan? (It is a kind of sweet bun) JY : "Melonpan is sold out" JY : I really like melonpan JY : When I go to the convenience store with Mina JY : The melonpan's always gone JY : Mina keeps saying, "Melonpan's sold out, sold out" (*Mina says this in Japanese) JY : When I asked her later what that meant, she told me it means th

at they're out of stock JY : I remember it from that time JY : In our showcase JY : during the hightouch this time JY : This was all the fans could talk about JY : They'd shout, "Melonpan!" JY : And I'd shout back, "Sold out!" JY : They seemed to really enjoy that JY : Melonpan is sold out JY : In the morning it is sold out SN : So it was sold out after all MN : We searched the whole time but there wasn't any right? JY : I really like melonpan JY : I regularly take Japanese lessons JY : paired u

p with Dahyun JY : We practice Japanese by talking to each other JY : Our teacher sends us audio recordings JY : We practice by listening to those even when travelling DH : My Japanese is still not good DH : So, talking with the fans is a little DH : difficult TZ : Even people from far away TZ : were swinging to the rhythm and waving their hands TZ : and also singing together with us TZ : I was really touched To family MN : Yes, by now they've come to see us on stage in Korea quite a few times

MN : But because it was out first Japanese concert MM : I felt like I had to perform even better MM : I should show them my best To family MN : They've come to watch our showcases in Korea a lot MN : But because this is in Japan MN : It'd be nice to help the members on stage if only a little bit MN : "I want to show this side of me", thinking this way I tried my best To family TZ : With a lot of confidence TZ : That I'm really enjoying the stage TZ : I want to show my family that TZ : I want

to show to the people TZ : the fact that I do like being on stage a lot SN : From the time when I first went to Korea SN : In the beginning of course they were quite worried and we talked a lot about this too SN : But they still sent me off with cheers and encouragement SN : I debuted as TWICE, and even in Japan SN : To have been able to stand in front of Mama, Papa and Granny as 'Sana of TWICE' SN : Sana is also very happy SN : For always, Thank you The song that left the biggest impression

? CY : For me that'd be 'TT' TZ : Even before our Japanese debut TZ : Many people were doing the 'TT' dance CY : On our first showcase when we performed TT CY : All the fans' eyes just lit up CY : and they started singing together with us CY : And even did the 'TT' pose CY : Seeing them enjoy that way left the biggest impression on me Do you feel your popularity? TZ : So many people have done our dance TZ : At that time it almost felt like a dream TZ : Before this, when we did the hightouch with

ONCE TZ : I could feel it a little TZ : This many people gave us their love TZ : It was then that I realized JH : When we come to Japan, we always go to big supermarkets JH : We do some shopping there JH : And spend a bit too much time browsing JH : In the beginning, without knowing who we were JH : because we had full makeup on JH : people would say, "They must be some performing artists" JH : We could feel them looking at us like that JH : When we had the high touch in Osaka JH : we heard ou

r songs in the supermarkets JH : Students also noticed us JH : and started following us once they did JH : It was then I could feel it a little JH : Even the common students recognized us JH : It seemed like our popularity was increasing because of male students JH : That male students knew of us JH : We thought that meant we were getting more famous JH : That made us really happy JY : After our showcase ended JY : when we heard that we placed first on Oricon charts JY : I felt so emotional tha

t I... JY : ended up crying JY : I felt very happy... JY : At that time... JY : I felt really grateful CY : The next live was for the Japanese single CY : So we worked hard for the Japanese original song as well CY : I don't just want to show the TWICE they know CY : First I want to be better at talking in Japanese CY : I will study very very hard CY : I want to be able to convey my thoughts well MM : We want to cover songs from Japanese artists as well SN : Going a little closer to Once SN :
