TWICE Sub-Unit MISAMO Fuels Hype for National Stadium Concert with New 'Confetti' Cheering Guide

On April 22, MISAMO—the sub-unit of the global girl group TWICE consisting of Japanese members Mina, Sana, and Momo—released a brand-new cheering guide for their song "Confetti." Coming just days before their highly anticipated performance at Japan’s National Stadium this weekend, the announcement has fans convinced that the track will be a highlight of the upcoming setlist.

The "New Cheering Guide" was uniquely designed by the members themselves. Following the release, social media was flooded with enthusiastic reactions from the group’s fanbase, ONCE. Comments such as "The timing of this release is absolutely legendary" and "This is as good as a confirmation that they’ll perform it at the National Stadium" have been trending. Fans have high expectations for the stage production, especially since previous tours have seen solo segments evolved into dynamic unit performances.

With the release of their album *PLAY* on the horizon, MISAMO continues to reach new heights. The stage is now set for the iconic National Stadium to echo with the voices of thousands of fans during "Confetti." On social media, fans are already sharing their progress, with many posting, "I’m going to memorize these chants perfectly" and expressing hopes for the members to wear their signature rabbit-themed outfits on stage.

The context

MISAMO is the first official sub-unit of TWICE, a South Korean girl group that has achieved massive success globally and particularly in Japan. The trio consists of the group’s three Japanese members: Mina, Sana, and Momo. Performing at the National Stadium (Kokuritsu Kyōgijō) in Tokyo is a significant milestone in the Japanese music industry, reserved only for the most popular acts due to its massive capacity. In the K-pop and J-pop world, "cheering guides" or "fanchants" are a crucial part of the concert experience, where artists provide fans with specific lyrics and rhythms to shout in unison during the performance to create a sense of unity between the stage and the audience.
