Overview
Two You Four You is the second original studio album released by duo Tackey & Tsubasa . The album contains four singles: Serenade , Kamen/Mirai Koukai , Venus , and Ho! Summer (Mirai Koukai was not included on the album for unknown reasons). In all, the regular album contained a total of 16 songs, while the limited and CD+DVD only contained 15 songs.
The regular version of the album comes with a bonus track as with most of their singles. The limited pressing of the album comes with a bonus CD that will contain karaoke versions of most of the album's songs, along with a sticker. The DVD version of the album comes with a DVD containing backstage and concert footage from their "Takitsuba Izumo Concert" and behind-the-scenes footage for "Venus" and "Ho! Summer".
The title of the album is a play on the fact that both singers are 24 years old.
