The 262,557 copies of “Wake Me Up” sold won the group its fourth consecutive “platinum” certification -- awarded in Japan to those who sold more than 250,000 records. Prior to its three singles, Twice also recorded a platinum with its best album “#Twice” last June.
Buoyed by its growing popularity in japan, Twice is set to hold concerts on Saturday and Sunday in Saitama Prefecture, and in Osaka on June 2-3.
The group will make an appearance in Asahi TV’s “Music Station” on Friday.
