Popular nine-member Korean girl group TWICE announced that they will be releasing a brand new Japanese album, Perfect World, July 28. This announcement comes off the heels of their latest Japanese single “Kura Kura” and will be their third Japanese album overall. For TWICE, 2021 came with the theme of transmitting "love" for all people and things. True to that theme, the album expresses various forms of love such as "fan love", "family love", and "friend love", and includes a total of ten songs including the lead song "Perfect World" and singles "Fanfare", "BETTER", and "Kura Kura”. "Perfect World" is a number with a wild sound and a sense of speed. As the "perfect world" collapses, there is a strong image of a woman standing dignifiedly without being affected by change.
