And an album was expected, I think that we won't be getting a lot of new material it at all, so they don't have much work to do.

But I would so like them to stay in korea :/

I agree! "Heaven" is such an amazing korean song! The also need to work on their accent though.... because its not perfect yet Which I think will affect the quality of their Japanese releases. But I just wished the stayed in Korea where they belong

I'm listening right now to Number 1 album. It sounds amazing! They remind me of Epik High and i think i might start liking their music.^^

I have quite a few things to say about the Japanese "Heaven".

I support their Japanese expansion...but I don't really like the Japanese version of Heaven. Like, for real, they are wonderfully unique and so, so talented but the Japanese version of Heaven (excuse me, "My Heaven") sounds like just another JE song.

AITAKUTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~ AITAKU...TE... Oh. Ok. Like, I know this is standard love-song lyrics, but they could've done better. Also, I was gonna say something about GD's Japanese sounding like Korean, but I feel for him. Whenever I try to speak Korean, it sounds like Japanese, so..yeah... I think Taeyang, of course, has the best pronunciation out of all of them.

But don't even get me started on GD's new hair. I love him but wtf? Is he TRYING to look like Kame with that 'do or something? He is far more attractive than Kame. Also, how come no one else is allowed to play the part of the boyfriend? I'm totally serious. 거짓말 (Gohjirmah), 하루 하루 (Haru Haru), now this...

[namiie]

Does it count as double-posting if no one else has posted for two days? XD

The covers for "My Heaven" are out, if anyone is interested....



I don't really like them. =\ I seriously thought they were fan-made covers at first. They look kinda wonky. Also, I think this is very indicative of advertising priority in Japan vs. Korea--in Korea, they never had pictures of themselves on an album cover before, and here, they do. More appearance-based advertising, it seems....

About this. Yeah, that was extremely tactless, but this is Seungri we are talking about here. He is so utterly tactless and clueless--sometimes it's adorable (like in Manwon Happiness), sometimes it's just eyebrow-raise inducing. Not that what he said was okay, but...that's how it is when you are really, really, really Asian. I am Asian and my family and I LIVE in the US and my parents sometimes still say things like that. I wouldn't worry--he probably got disciplined by YG if not GD for that later, given that YG Family's line of work is hip-hop, and who pioneered hip-hop? African Americans.

Nah, they are going to be another johnnys band wich relies only on fangirls :/ boy, am I going to hate that :/
the song is very... kitsch.

I'm not liking this at all :/ go back to damn korea :/

[brand new love]

they kind of already rely on fangirls in korea..?

i don't mind them trying to make it in japan, i just don't like how they're doing it. stop remaking korean songs please

The difference is that in Korea, they have a lot of fans who are noonas and hyungs (older women and men, respectively) as well. It's a little too soon to tell, but it looks like their fanbase in Japan, at this point, resembles that of JE fans--aka, teenage girls only. =\

I love them in Korea too, but I want them to succeed in Japan as well, because as a devoted fan, any Big Bang success makes me happy for them XD XD Though, I really think they need to stop re-making Korean songs too. Do something new, yo. Like BoA and Se7en did.

[aurinko.]

^ I know, and I hate it >.<" I mean, do they really want to have fangirls not fans? Most of these girls rely on looks when it comes to choosing their music. I know it will bring in a lot of money, but I don't think it's worth it >.<" especially that the music seems to be getting closer to boring je bands [I'm just speaking in general, so no offence to anyone]

Of course as a fan I'm going to support them and enjoy their happiness but it's probably going to be the only thing I will enjoy in their japanese career >.<"

[aqua_crystal]

Thanks for the covers namiie!!! I love the first one! One of their best!!

[Maemi]

I must say i'm in love with their album Number 1! That song is amazing and catchy as hell!!! Haru haru is also amazing, With You ...and so...

[hearted]

I liked Number 1 but I didn't like the fact that most of the songs were just English versions of their Korean songs (like MY HEAVEN is the Japanese version of their Korean song "Heaven"). Not very original.... However, Haru Haru is, and always will be one of their best Korean songs ever!!

[~Inori~]

BIG BANG made it onto the NINKI.

09 21.20 ＢＩＧＢＡＮＧ - ＭＹ　ＨＥＡＶＥＮ

I think it took TVXQ a while to get on it.

[~Inori~]

Dub post sorry

NEW SINGLE

ガラガラ　GO!! (Gara Gara GO!!)

It'll be release two weeks after MY HEAVEN on July 8. Same week as Kumi and Tegomass.

Spoiler:

I wonder if Stylish is the same song that they did for FILA just re-sung in Japanese. Or if it's a different song.
And what's with the fugly covers?

[milky_way]

I hope these are new songs.

[~Inori~]

I thought So Beautiful was a new song boo! I hope the songs won't be in English, either re-sing them in Japanese or just leave them as is.

[milky_way]

Boooooooooooooo!!!
