Release and promotion
In May 2022, Twice announced that they would release an album titled Celebrate on July 27, to commemorate their fifth debut anniversary in Japan.[2] [3] The title track "Celebrate" was pre-released as a digital single on July 15, along with the accompanying music video.[4]
To promote the album, Twice performed the eponymous title track on TV Asahi's Music Station, on July 22.[5] The next day, the group performed "That's All I'm Saying" and "Celebrate" during a special live broadcast of NHK's music program Venue 101.[6] Songs from the album were also performed during Twice Japan Fan Meeting 2022 "Once Day", held in Tokyo and Osaka for five days in October.[7]
On December 28, Celebrate was released as a limited edition vinyl record. This is Twice's first album to be released in that format.[8]
