How the Tracklist Is Organized
The album splits neatly into two eras. Disc one covers 2015 to 2019, pulling from the group’s earliest and most foundational hits including “Like Ooh-Ahh,” “Cheer Up,” “TT,” “Knock Knock,” “Signal,” “Likey,” “Heart Shaker,” and “What Is Love?” Disc two picks up from 2020 through 2025, spanning tracks like “MORE & MORE,” “I CAN’T STOP ME,” “Alcohol-Free,” “The Feels,” “SCIENTIST,” and “MOONLIGHT SUNRISE.” Laying the tracklist out chronologically across two discs turns the album into a functional timeline of how TWICE’s sound evolved release by release, rather than just a shuffled greatest-hits playlist.
Why a Sixth Japanese Best Album
TWICE has built an unusually deep relationship with the Japanese market specifically, releasing Japanese versions of their singles alongside a steady stream of standalone Japanese-language material since their 2017 Japanese debut. A sixth best-album compilation, timed to the ten-year mark since their original 2015 Korean debut, functions as both a retrospective for longtime fans and an accessible entry point for newer listeners who may know only the group’s more recent material.
A Track-by-Track Trip Through TWICE’s Sound
Listened front to back, the two discs double as a rough map of how TWICE’s music has shifted over ten years, from the bright, high-energy bubblegum pop of disc one’s earliest singles to the more varied, occasionally moodier production on disc two’s later cuts like “SCIENTIST” and “MOONLIGHT SUNRISE.” That evolution mirrors a broader shift across K-pop girl groups more generally over the same period, as acts that debuted in the mid-2010s have generally moved toward more diverse, less uniformly upbeat title tracks as their catalogs and audiences have matured alongside them.
The Blu-ray Bonus: A Live History
Physical album releases in K-pop increasingly compete on bonus content as much as the music itself, and “#BEST 2015-2025’s” limited edition leans into that with “TWICE LIVE COLLECTION 2017-2024,” a 16-song Blu-ray drawn from the group’s past Japanese tour performances. For fans who’ve followed the group’s live shows specifically, that collection functions as its own standalone selling point separate from the audio tracklist.
A Decade in Two Discs
Compiling ten years of music into a single physical release inevitably means leaving things out, but the disc-by-disc chronological split gives “#BEST 2015-2025” a clear structure that a simple career-spanning shuffle wouldn’t have. It also doubles as a marker of how much ground TWICE has covered since their 2015 debut, from the bubblegum pop of their earliest hits to the more varied, mature sound of their most recent releases.
Why Japan Specifically Gets This Treatment
TWICE releasing a sixth Japanese best album, rather than a Korean-market equivalent, underscores just how central the Japanese market has become to the group’s overall business. Japan has consistently ranked among the largest music markets in the world by physical sales, and a compilation built specifically for that audience, complete with Japanese-language versions of Korean hits, reflects a deliberate, long-running strategy rather than a one-off release.
A Decade of Firsts for TWICE
Since debuting in 2015, TWICE has become one of the most consistently successful girl groups of their generation, becoming the first K-pop girl group to headline a stadium tour in the United States and racking up a run of Japanese Oricon chart-topping releases that made the group one of the best-selling international acts in that market. That track record is exactly why a compilation of this scale makes sense now: ten years in, TWICE has enough of a catalog, and enough crossover success specifically in Japan, to justify a 50-track retrospective rather than a smaller anniversary EP.
What’s Next for TWICE
With the compilation now out, attention turns to whether the group follows it with new original material or further tour dates built around the ten-year milestone. For now, “#BEST 2015-2025” gives both longtime fans and newer listeners a single, career-spanning entry point into the group’s decade-long run.
How This Compares to TWICE’s Earlier Best Albums
TWICE has released Japanese best-of compilations before, but the ten-year framing gives “#BEST 2015-2025” a different weight than a standard mid-career singles collection. Where earlier compilations captured a snapshot of a few active years, this release is explicitly structured as a full-career retrospective, which is part of why it splits into two clearly defined discs rather than a single continuous tracklist. That structural choice makes the album function less like a typical greatest-hits cash-in and more like a deliberate marker of the group’s first full decade together.
