TWICE released concept 'girlcrush' teaser image of First Japan Album, 'BDZ'

The multinational girl group TWICE is set to release its first Japan album, called BDZ, on Sept. 12.

"BDZ" is an abbreviation of "bulldozer," which symbolizes the members' wish to be tough and live strong: "Making nothing of the big wall facing them and breaking it down like a bulldozer to keep moving forward."

The album will include the title track; the group's Japan debut single, "One More Time"; "Candy Pop" and its B-side track, "Brand New Girl"; "Wake Me Up"; and "I Want You Back" - cover that was recorded as the theme song for a Japanese rom-com movie - plus five new songs.

The title track, produced by longtime collaborator J.Y. Park, will be the album's lead single. Pre-orders for BDZ began Friday (June 22).
