""Two You Four You" is Tackey and Tsubasa's 2nd album to be released under avex trax. The album was released on November 15,2006, over two and a half years after their debut album "2wenty 2wo", and contains a total of four previously released singles.

Overview

"Two You Four You" is the second original studio album released by duo Tackey and 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.
