MISAMO Guide: Members, TWICE Connection & 4 First Songs

MISAMO is the TWICE unit made up of Mina, Sana and Momo. If you are meeting the trio for the first time, start with “Do not touch” for elegant R&B, “Marshmallow” for a relaxed groove, or “Confetti” for a brighter, theatrical introduction. “Identity” is the stronger performance-led option.

Here is a simple way to connect the three members, four official videos and their Japanese albums. You can choose by mood before learning the whole catalog.

Who are Mina, Sana and Momo?

A subunit is a smaller lineup drawn from a larger group. These are three members of TWICE, not a new set of singers to learn. Remember the unit name as MIna + SAna + MOmo.

Four songs, four ways into MISAMO

The choices below are Kpop From Seoul’s recommendations, not a popularity ranking. The official uploads are linked in Warner Music Japan’s video catalog.

Do not touch — the clearest introduction to their elegant side

Masterpiece · 2023

Choose this if you want a measured R&B starting point with a visual idea you can remember. Billboard Japan’s release report explains the museum-sign concept: the trio is presented like artwork to be admired and respected. That gives the title a context beyond a catchy phrase.

Watch Do not touch on the official YouTube upload ↗

Watch how the art setting frames the three performers. Then choose “Marshmallow” for a more casual mood, or “Identity” for a bigger performance contrast.

Identity — for a stronger beat and performance

HAUTE COUTURE · 2024

This is our pick when you want a more forceful entrance. In his Identity review, The Bias List’s Nick highlights the hip-hop beat and brass-and-string arrangement. Use those elements as listening landmarks: follow the rhythm first, then notice how the larger instrumental accents support the performance.

For the next listen, go to “Confetti” and compare a commanding mood with a more celebratory one.

Marshmallow — for an unhurried first listen

Masterpiece · 2023

If a dramatic introduction feels too much, begin here. The Bias List’s review describes a mid-tempo R&B track with a lo-fi groove and lower-register vocals. Those quieter features are why we include it: it offers a different entry from the performance-focused choices.

Keep your attention on the relaxed pace and vocal texture. If that mood works for you, continue with the Masterpiece track list rather than jumping straight into a long mixed playlist.

Confetti — for bright, theatrical energy

PLAY · 2026

This is the upbeat route. In Rolling Stone Korea’s MISAMO interview, Momo explains that the trio wanted to show another side and chose something lively. The feature points to brass, swing-inspired choruses and a video shaped by musical and classic-film imagery.

Watch Confetti on the official YouTube upload ↗

Follow the show-like presentation alongside the buoyant chorus. If you enjoy that brighter setting, make PLAY your next album; it also lets you revisit “Do not touch” and “Identity” within a longer listen.

Which MISAMO album should you try next?

You do not have to begin in release order. Choose the record connected to the song you want to replay.

Buying a CD? Check the edition’s actual track list. On PLAY, the regular and ONCE JAPAN editions include all three member solo tracks; the member-jacket editions include the corresponding member’s solo, while limited editions A and B omit the solos. Streaming and a particular physical edition should not be assumed to have identical contents.

Two questions new listeners often ask

Is MISAMO replacing TWICE?

MISAMO is a unit of Mina, Sana and Momo, while TWICE is the nine-member group. A unit release is another way to hear these members. Our TWICE beginner song guide helps you compare the trio with the full group and solo releases.

Do I need Japanese to start?

You can begin with the groove, voices and performance. Check the official uploader’s caption options if you want more context; available subtitle languages can differ between videos. Each player above also has a direct watch link.
