TWICE Unit MISAMO Unveil Tracklist for Japan 1st Album ‘PLAY’ with Title Track ‘Confetti’ and 12 Songs

TWICE’s unit MISAMO—comprised of Mina, Sana, and Momo—have announced that they will release their first full-length Japanese album ‘PLAY’ on February 4, 2026. Through TWICE’s official Japanese SNS channels, the trio unveiled the title track “Confetti” along with the full tracklist, with Korean media describing the album as a key project that sums up over two years of MISAMO’s activities in Japan and serves as the final chapter of a trilogy that began with mini albums ‘Masterpiece’ and ‘HAUTE COUTURE’.

According to the revealed tracklist, ‘PLAY’ contains 12 tracks in total. The title track “Confetti” leads the album, followed by new songs such as “Hmm,” “Not a Goodbye,” “Deep Eden,” “Red Diamond,” and “Catch My Eye,” forming a cohesive full-length structure. Positioned as a key song that captures the celebratory, curtain-call moment of a performance, “Confetti” is expected by Korean media to carry forward MISAMO’s sophisticated musical identity while adding an extra layer of dramatic flair in its melody and arrangement.

Another highlight of the album is how it weaves each member’s individuality directly into the tracklist. Momo’s “Kitty,” Sana’s “Ma Cherry,” and Mina’s “Turning Tables” showcase distinct vocal colors and musical styles, giving listeners a clearer sense of their solo charms. At the same time, the album brings together key catalog tracks such as “Identity” from their second mini album ‘HAUTE COUTURE,’ debut song “Do not touch” from ‘Masterpiece,’ and fan favorite “Message,” allowing new material and signature songs to coexist within one comprehensive release.

The concept photos released alongside the tracklist further clarify the visual direction of ‘PLAY.’ In the black-suit group shot, MISAMO pair structured jackets with ruffled blouses while white petals fall around them, creating a mood that is both composed and theatrically charged. Korean outlets describe this styling as moving fluidly between strength and softness, condensing the trio’s seasoned stage presence into a single frame and echoing the theatrical, performance-driven world suggested by the album title ‘PLAY’.

Contrasting the black suits, the white-dress concept photos extend the haute-couture-inspired aesthetic established in ‘HAUTE COUTURE.’ Wearing intricately detailed white gowns and crystal-adorned headpieces, Mina, Sana, and Momo pose in front of stage curtains and spotlights, evoking the feel of a theater poster captured just before a performance begins. This set of images has frequently been used by Korean media as a representative visual for coverage on ‘PLAY,’ underlining the cohesion and polish of MISAMO’s styling, hair-and-makeup, and set design.

From a track-order perspective, ‘PLAY’ also incorporates songs that recently drew attention during MISAMO’s live performances. Both “Catch My Eye” and “Red Diamond,” which were first showcased onstage during the ‘MISAMO JAPAN DOME TOUR 2024 “HAUTE COUTURE”’ and quickly became fan favorites, are now being included as official audio tracks. Korean reports note that the tour attracted around 250,000 attendees over six dome shows, with the strong response to these songs playing a key role in the decision to give them a permanent place on the album.

Another reason ‘PLAY’ is drawing so much interest is that it is widely regarded as the final installment in MISAMO’s trilogy project. Since officially debuting in Japan with ‘Masterpiece’ in July 2023, the unit has steadily built its presence on major charts such as Oricon, Billboard Japan, and Tower Records through subsequent releases and a successful dome tour. By bringing together key tracks from the first two mini albums and pairing them with brand-new material, this full-length record functions both as a comprehensive summary of the past two years and as a closing chapter that sets the stage for MISAMO’s next steps.

Drawing on assessments from Korean and Japanese entertainment media, ‘PLAY’ appears to extend MISAMO’s theater-like sense of completion across its music, visuals, and overall concept, while the clear narrative flow and inclusion of solo tracks further sharpen the unit’s identity as a trio that is both tightly unified and individually distinct. With the gradual rollout of the title track “Confetti” and its teasers, expectations are high that the album will at least match—and potentially surpass—the critical and commercial reception of ‘Masterpiece’ and ‘HAUTE COUTURE,’ positioning it as one of the most closely watched K-Pop releases in the Japanese market for 2026.

【KStarLoud Analysis】Viewed within TWICE’s broader long-term strategy in Japan, MISAMO’s ‘PLAY’ reads like an upgraded brand statement rather than just another unit release. On one level, it capitalizes on the group’s stadium-scale visibility—distilling that recognition into a smaller formation that can foreground character, emotion, and nuanced performance. On another, JYP’s trilogy-style planning links mini albums, a dome tour, and this full album into a single narrative arc, so that each comeback adds weight to the same conceptual universe. For the Japanese market, a unit composed entirely of Japanese members naturally lowers the barrier in language and local promotion, while the music, styling, and staging lean closer to J-pop’s theatrical storytelling. Positioning ‘PLAY’ as the closing chapter of this three-part project allows MISAMO to consolidate two years of investment and results, yet also keeps the door open for future singles, tours, or brand collaborations to spin off as new “acts” within the same ongoing story.
