1) Twins is a canto-pop duo from Hong Kong created in 2001 by mogul Albert Yeung's Emperor Entertainment Group (EEG). Twins consists of Charlene Choi Cheuk-Yin and Gillian Chung Yan-Tung.
They are one of the hottest groups in Hong Kong, and are wildly popular across China and Asia, and are known throughout the world.
BIO
Charlene Choi was born in Vancouver, Canada on November 22, 1982. Gillian Chung was born in Hong Kong on January 21, 1981.
Twins started their career in the summer of 2001, and are best known for the song "Girls' School, Boy Classmate" (女校男生) from their first EP.
Before signing with Emperor Entertainment Group, Chung studied at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Melbourne, Australia. Chung had also worked as a part-time model during one of her summer vacations in Hong Kong.
Similar to Chung, Choi was also a part-time model who had appeared in several advertisements. She became famous after her participation in the television program Y2K, organised by Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK).
Choi and Chung were introduced to each other by their agents. They subsequently auditioned for and later formed the band today known as Twins.
The Hong Kong musical industry has shown, many pop group bands break-up after they acquire a considerable level of popularity. The Twins are not immune to this and there have been rumors that Twins is also facing the same fate. It has been suggested by EEG that their concerts due for early 2006 may be their last. However these rumours have been around before and have proved unfounded and purely for entertainment purposes in generating gossip for tabloids.
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.
Twins' fate in the coming future
Twins overcame rumours of splitting up when they attended the May 2006 MTV Asia Awards in Thailand together. They were nominated for and won the Hong Kong Most Popular Singer Award. Twins garnered many more votes than Andy Lau, who was predicted to take home this award. This is arguably the best award for Twins.
(February 2007) They have also recently celebrated their sixth year together in the Hong Kong music industry and with this the release of a special sixth anniversary new+best selection CD/DVD. Most rumours of a split have ceased and they have reaffirmed to their fans they will celebrate in another six years time.
Twins announced its "temporary" dissolution in July 2008, four months after Gillian was caught up in the Edison Chen photo scandal. Charlene said she was highly optimistic that they will reunite "some day"
2) In 1980, Sven Dohrow and Ronny Schreinzer decided to put a new band together, after they had played in various bands as a guitar-player and a drummer. In the beginning they were inspired by bands like Tubeway Army, Gary Numan, OMD and Depeche Mode.
The name "TWINS" might sound a bit funny for english speaking fans because Sven and Ronny are definitely no twins (you guessed it, Einstein) and the name itself isn't very ingenious. The idea behind the name was to describe the way of working when they put their music together. In fact, there are no other persons involved during the process of making a TWINS record. Sven and Ronny are the composers, arrangers, musicians and producers and they are also responsible for mixing and mastering of the final product.
Their first single "The Desert Place" turned out to be a real dancefloor-smasher in Germany and the remixed long-version of this song entered the US-Billboard-Dance-Charts in 1981. The big European breakthrough came when they entered the Italian charts with their song "Face To Face" and it was one of the best-selling singles in Italy 1983.
After "Face To Face" they hit the Italian charts a few more times with songs like "Not the loving kind" and "Ballet Dancer". Due to the success in many European countries, some of the German radiostations started playing their songs and all of a sudden the TWINS had a chart-hit with "Ballet Dancer". During these days it was very unusual for a German dancefloor-band to have success in their own country. However, they next titles to hit the German charts were "Love System" and "Love in the Dark".
Due to their big success, Sven and Ronny had to put together a live-band because the fans wanted to see them on stage as well. The TWINS had the chance to prove that they were no "one-hit-wonder"
and according to their fans, their live-act was worth the money. They did many tours throughout Europe with their new five piece band, including a drummer who turned every show into an exciting event due to his powerful support for every TWINS song. A bit later the band set-up was changed again. The fact that Ronny had played drums for many years, enabled the TWINS to add more excitement to the bands live-shows by adding a few parts for two drummers.
By the end of 1987 after the TWINS had released their album "Hold on to your dreams" they were offered to do a tour in the Soviet Union which brought them to Moskow and Leningrad. During these 10 concerts the had the opportunity to play in front of a 120.000 people audience.
After the tour was finished Sven and Ronny decided to take a break and to produce some other artists in their own studios. In 1991 the TWINS had their "comeback" when they released a remix album of their greatest hits which was called "The ClassicsRemixed". The success of this CD was overwhelming and they thought that it's about time to put together a new album as well.
It took them nearly two years to finish this next album because they wanted to make the album as good as possible. The album was called "The Impossible Dream" and the song "Tonight" which was also featured on the album, made them hit the charts once again.
To complete their line of greatest hits CD's, they released the "12inch Classics"-CD in '94, which features many long-versions and mixes based on their greatest hits. In recent years the TWINS played a few concerts in Germany with their new live-band. Ronny and Sven are currently working on a new album.
3) Serbian dance-pop gruop
4) Noise musician James Raymond of California
5) Little is known about Twins the demoscene musician, beyond the fact that (s)he/they were in the demogroup Phenomena, and active in the late 1980s/early 1990s. Some songs that should still be easy to find on various demoscene archives include "The Seventh Sea," "Starter," "Brilliance," "Digital Dream," and "Speedometer."
6) A french shoegaze band from Lyon
7) TWINS (the acronym from which the album derives its title, if one’s curious about the order of origin) is the mutant machine-pop project of Atlantan producer, label operator, and all-around aesthete-visionary Matt Weiner. Having spent the better part of a decade reveling in a moody murk that intersects seductive synth-pop with Featureless Ghost and grotesque industrial-dance grooves in his own right as TWINS, Weiner has more than proved his sincerely sinister and auspiciously artful finesse of synth-based music. Operating from his home studio, arrayed with various tools of the trade, Weiner tempers his subtle scourges of sound with an unending sense of bold exploration, processing tracks of pulse-heavy aural catharsis. When performing these songs live, he brings an array of hardware to back up his flooring vocal performances, using his entire being to work the audience into a frenzied trance. When not making music as TWINS, Weiner also runs the CGI Records label and co-runs the DKA label, between the two releasing music from Boy Harsher, Profligate, Alex Falk, High-Functioning Flesh, VALIS, Scott Fraser, Beau Wanzer, Featureless Ghost, Golden Donna, and more. Weiner also performs in the duo Pyramid Club with Chris Daresta, and produces music in the studio with Stefan Ringer as SM42 and with the esteemed CH Rom as Wo.

TWINS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
從前渡每分鐘 身邊也有 父母在旁
終於天與地 需要獨自往
兩手必需放 但我不想放 邊哭泣邊回望
然後到這一天 在這一天
走出世界 早告別學堂
人大了我應當 一早慣了 沒有護航
就會想歸去 父母親的堡壘 不管麻煩事幹
不要走 大鐘即使敲響 你別放開手
成年後 什麼都不可再 有成人遷就
不要走 前去在人群內 會磨鍊到夠
可見將來 日子總會有 順逆流
不過此時 獲得的愛顧 無私愛顧 未夠
凡事也要小心 沒趣得很
請不要再 迫我做大人
年月卻太狠心 催促上課 學會獨行
幾千噸責任 冰冷像校訓
個鐘啲嗒跳 課室鐘聲響了 雙手為何在震
不要走 大鐘即使敲響 你別放開手
成年後 什麼都不可再 有成人遷就
不要走 前去在人群內 會磨鍊到夠
可見將來 日子總會有 順逆流
不過此時 獲得的愛顧 無私愛顧 未夠
The lyrics of Twins' song "幼稚園" reflect on the journey of growing up and the struggles of transitioning from childhood to adulthood. The song begins by reminiscing about the first day of school, where the child was surrounded by their parents and didn't want to let go of their hands, crying and looking back. However, as time passes, the child reaches a point where they have to leave school and face the world on their own. Despite growing up, they still find themselves behaving immaturely and seeking the comfort of their parents' protection whenever faced with difficult situations.
The lyrics carry a message of not wanting to let go and face the challenges of adulthood. The repeated refrain of "不要走" (don't leave) signifies the fear of growing up and the desire to remain in the safety of childhood. The song highlights the pressure and responsibilities that come with age, and the difficulty of adapting to a world where there are no longer accommodations for childish behavior.
Overall, "幼稚園" captures the bittersweet emotions of someone navigating the transition from childhood to adulthood, while reflecting on the innocence and simplicity of early years.

还记得那一天
在那一天
初次上学堂
从前渡每分钟
身边也有
父母在旁
终于天与地
需要独自往
两手必需放
但我不想放
边哭泣边回望
然后到这一天
在这一天
走出世界
早告别学堂
人大了我应当
一早惯了
没有护航
偏偏很幼稚
一有坏状况
就会想归去
父母亲的堡垒
不管麻烦事干
不要走
大钟即使敲响
你别放开手
成年后
什么都不可再
有成人迁就
不要走
前去在人群内
会磨炼到够
可见将来
日子总会有
顺逆流
不过此时
获得的爱护
无私爱护
未够
凡事也要小心
没趣得很
请不要再
迫我做大人
年月却太很狠心
催促上课
学会独行
几千吨责任
冰冷像校训
个钟啲塔跳
课室钟声响了
双手为何在震
不要走
大钟即使敲响
你别放开手
成年后
什么都不可再
有成人迁就
不要走
前去在人群内
会磨炼到够
可见将来
日子总会有
顺逆流
不过此时
获得的爱护
无私爱护
未够

大學時,臨畢業聽冇咩感覺...
但到真正出來社會工作,經歷好多人性醜惡,複雜愛情...令自己好大感觸
偶然,很想跳出個圈圈,真的不想長大
很想一直停留在大學生活,是人生最輝煌,最不知天高地厚,最簡單...最開心無憂無慮的日子～

"成年後，甚麼都不可再有成日遷就"就係呢句我已經喊左出來，
爸爸媽媽，辛苦你們帶我長大成人。😭😭

不要走 大鐘即使敲響 你別放開~手
個「大鐘」可以代表主角返幼稚園時，父母送佢返學時既上課鐘
但同時亦都可以解作父母在床臨終時既「喪鐘」，或者一般借喻死亡既「夠鐘」
利申：讀過少少維根斯坦
@user-fc5tm5jo2p
現實是，小孩自己鬆開父母的手奔向未來，而父母只能在後面看著孩子的背影，因為他們老了，跟不上孩子的腳步
或許因為社會的責任，迫著父母要孩子更早學會獨立，但最捨不得孩子長大的，應該是父母
