[News] Big Bang to promote in Korea and Japan simultaneously


After taking over the airwaves with their recent big comeback, Big Bang is gearing up for an album release in Japan. Having already amassed a large fan base in Japan, the boys will be releasing a Japanese counterpart of their mini album "ALIVE".

On March 14th, YG Entertainment confirmed the news stating that Big Bang will be making their comeback on March 28 and will promote in Korea and Japan at the same time.

A representative stated, "Big Bang will start their Japanese promotions in the following week, but they will also continue to carry out their promotional activities in Japan, Korea and several other countries at the same time."

Big Bang's Japanese mini album will be titled "ALIVE" and will contain a total of nine tracks, two more than the version released in Korea. G-Dragon participated in the writing and composition for this album, and is expected to show off his musical capabilities once more.

G-Dragon expresses his feelings, "We are back to producing good music and are focused on improving our stage performance. Big Bang members are expected to develop their own colors. Last year, there were several things that happened, and now we can realize the importance of fans, the stage and music. We are grateful and sorry to the fans. Now, we will try to not make them worry and hope that they will be able to find us through our albums and concerts."

Following the release of their album, Big Bang will also start their concert tour in Japan starting from May 17, touring a total of five cities. Over 130,000 people are expected to participate the event, which is a part of Big Bang 2012 Alive World Tour.
