    Twins

    Twins was a Hong Kong-based female Cantopop duo created in the summer of 2001 by Emperor Entertainment Group (EEG). Twins was made up of two girls, Charlene Choi Cheuk-Yin and Gillian Chung Yan-Tung. They were a popular group in Hong Kong and a top band in China. Their fanbase included: Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Canada, Australia and United States. Their music had always targeted young teens, but in 2004 they begin to attract a wider audience venturing into different style of music.

    Background

    Gillian Chung had also worked as a part-time model during one of her summer vacations in Hong Kong. Similar to her erstwhile partner, Charlene Choi was also a part-time model who had appeared in several advertisements. She became famous after her participation in the Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) television program Y2K. Both caught the attention of EEG manager Mani Fok. They subsequently auditioned for and later formed the duo known as "Twins".


    Career

    Twins in the 2007 international 6th anniversary concert tour in San Francisco


    Singing duo

    After the pop duo was formed, Twins started their career in the summer of 2001, and was recognized for the song ?. They initially collaborated with MSN to make personal pages and web games. Their first 2001 EP Twins (AVEP) went platinum in its first week of sales. During their first two years, Twins released 3 EPs and 3 albums, all of which sold very well. Most of their songs stayed at the top of many different musical charts for several weeks.[citation needed]

    Twins had their first concert in 2002 and three more in 2003, one of which was held in Guangzhou. Between 2001 and 2003, they received a total of 72 total awards. By 2003, they have received a large number of awards from the four major Hong Kong media organizations of RTHK, Commercial Radio Hong Kong, Metro Radio and TVB.

    At the 2006 Hong Kong Entertainment Awards ceremony Choi tearfully acknowledged that there have been criticisms of the Twins' singing abilities and that she hoped that they could better improve in the coming year.

    In February 2007, they celebrated their sixth year together in the Hong Kong music industry. They released a special Sixth Anniversary New + Best Selection CD/DVD. In September of the same year, Twins embarked on a multi-city North American concert tour, with special guests Sun Boy'Z. International stops included San Francisco, Toronto, and Atlantic City. It was their first time performing on a major tour across several North American cities.

    In early January 2008, twins won two major awards at the 2007 Jade Solid Gold Top 10. They earned the most popular group award as well as the most popular Asia Pacific region female artist award.


    Twins' effect

    When Twins started their singing careers, there were very few musical groups in Hong Kong. However, after Twins' success, other music producers realized there was a huge market for group singers. As a result, more singing groups were formed.


    2005 Split rumours

    In December 2005 a rumour mentioned the splitting of the two singers. However, they attended the May 2006 MTV Asia Awards in Thailand together. They were nominated for and won the Hong Kong Favorite artist award.


    Edison Chen photo scandal

    The group was dragged into the fray when images of Gillian were among those which found their way onto the internet at the end of February 2008. With Gillian deciding to duck out of the public eye, Twins announced its "temporary dissolution" in July 2008. Charlene said she was highly optimistic that they will reunite some day.

    On January 16, 2009, during a TVB interview on My 2008 , Choi talked about how she handled the media. During the 31st RTHK Top 10 Gold Songs Awards hosted in January 2009, Choi said Twins would return. Gillian started working again in March 2009, and confirmed that Twins would reunite for EEG's 10th anniversary concert show.


    Films

    Twins started out their career in the film Summer Breeze of Love in 2002. While they started their film careers together, and are known as a musical duo, they seldom if ever sing on screen.


    Advertisements

    Apart from their singing careers, Twins have also been involved in a number of advertisements. Companies covering all types of products have advertised with the pop duo with the first advertisement with Whisper in 2000. Between 2001 and 2005 they advertised more than 10 products each year. Big name companies include Nokia, Epson, Biore, Coca-Cola, LG and many more.


    Community work

    The Twins have also been selected to promote several social campaigns in Hong Kong, such as summer activities for the "Hong Kong Home Affairs Bureau" in July 2003.

    Ne, von dem Song haben sie doch eh zwei Versionen, eine komplett in mandarin und die andere halt auf kantonesisch (wenn ich mich an das Album erinnere..). Aber in der kantonesischen Version singen sie den Chorus eh wieder auf Mandarin, weil halt Coversong, ne. °-°~

    Und Hoh, ich mag die kantonesische Version lieber. xD
    Find's eh nicht so~ toll, wenn HK leute manda singen. °°;

    Ich kenne die beiden nur aus mehreren Filmen unteranderem The Twins Effect. Allerdings das Schlußlied mit den beiden und Jakie Chan ist auch cool. Das erste mal das ich die beiden habe singen hören
