Incidentally, there were a few English language versions of AKB tracks, slipped in as extras on some early JKT48 releases. The Japanese market may be quite lucrative, hence the Kpop bands doing JP releases. I'm not aware of many JP groups releasing their tracks in Korean.
JP band BiSH would be great at Glastonbury. Blackpink, Japan's Band-Maid and other groups have had international success off the back of YouTube.
They would do well pretty much anywhere, as other KR and JP bands have done, with no English lyrics required (although it's nice that they are acknowledging foreign fans). Twice have always had a particularly strong JP focus. JP CDs have fewer extras but can come with DVDs. Korean ones usually come with substantial photo books and assorted extras. I usually get the Korean releases of Twice's CDs rather than the JP ones. You don't need to understand Korean to enjoy their music, although the popularity of Kpop and Kdrama has seen a rise in Westerners learning the language. How many Americans understand Korean language? Ironically, SNSD wasn't SM's A-team, but B-team, but SNSD's success shifted the formula upside down. SNSD in this context means 7~9 member team consisting of each agency's best trainees(A-team). HIVE(aka BTS agency) is launching a female version of BTS produced by the SNSD producer who jumped ship because SM no longer had the ability to produce female teams(SM is basically like Johnny's now focusing on male idols only), but it would be in common interest of K-pop industry for someone else to succeed before HIVE's SNSD and YG's SNSD(aka 9 member Black Pink) launch in 2022. All prior attempts failed including SNSD(aka Girls' Generation)'s US launch which shocked the K-pop industry as SNSD is considered the greatest female idol team of all time in Korea and none comes close to them, not even Twice and Black Pink. I do wonder how this group will fair in the U.S. Jesus, are they old enough to do anything legal ?

Jihyo, who co-wrote several songs for the new album, said she’d taken inspiration from real-life events, including the death of a houseplant. She said no one had recognized her and said she didn’t play TWICE songs at the cafe. Jeongyeon had surprised her bandmates by announcing that she’d briefly helped out a friend by working as a barista - a breath of fresh air for the star who’d announced a hiatus since September citing mental health issues.

TWICE, which debuted in 2015, walked into the interview with full energy even after undergoing five hours of intense dance practice ahead of the album release. The band’s success comes after years of hard work. (Members Sana, Mina, and Momo of TWICE are from Japan.)
