Updates… In Case You Didn’t Know

many of you have emailed me “updates” about things coming out, etc.
thanks for telling me, i already know about these things, but i just don’t find it worth making a single post for.
but since i’ve gotten similar emails from a number of you, i decided to put together an update post.

Summer is gonna be quiet for BB. not much going on, so i guess when i have a couple of things to talk about, i’ll be making these “update” posts. in fact, writing this makes me wanna call these “in case you didn’t know” posts instead, b/c VIPz are supposed to be in the loop, riiiight? har har.

1. 2NE1 = YG’s NEW POSTER GROUP

i mean 2NE1 = the new HOT group. the IT group. i think YG has planned out their debut, activities, etc. real well. they’ve blossomed into not only a respectable GIRL GROUP, but a GROUP that has hit songs in their arsenal. the tracks on their new mini-album are legit, & their next single, I DON’T CARE is a smash. click for the MV!

promotions for their next single is to begin on July 10th on KBS MUSIC BANK. Check out the new MESSAGE FROM YG for more on this (which i will be translating shortly, aka in a few hrs, but i’ve already relayed to you most of its contents in this update).

in case you didn’t know… the plan is to have 2NE1 headline a concert by the end of the year. what big goals!

tidbit: you can get a glimpse into the daily lives of 2NE1 members on their Mnet show “2NE1 TV.” check out the schedule on VIPTrans, i think it’s on Wednesdays, Korean time? bb appears on it from time to time. go figure.

i expect great success from 2NE1, as their mini-album sales have almost reached 50k, as well as their new single on top of the music charts already.

2. G.D.R.A.G.O.N.

our kwon leadah is turning 21 soon. it’s also the day when his long-awaited solo album is expected to come out. of course, it’s gonna be good!

a tidbit: we know that jiyong’s been working closely w/ 2NE1, but where’s his stuff on the mini-album?!
the stuff on 2NE1’s mini-album were worked on mainly by TEDDY & KUSH, with some contributions from MASTA WU as well.

however, GD’s work will be featured on 2NE1’s 1st full album, set to come out in OCTOBER. wow, 2ne1 still pops up in the section for GD.

…in case you didn’t know.

jiyong’s doing well. just had to say that. haha. what am i gonna do for his birthday? i just don’t know yet. SIGH.

3. BIG BANG 2nd JAP SINGLE

bb’s officially hit the japanese music scene by switching to a major label in japan. w/ the recent release of their 1ST SINGLE ft. a “heaven” remake, w/ new track “emotion” (bleh), their 2ND SINGLE, which features “GARA GARA GO!” & another new track “TOP OF THE WORLD” was released on july 8th.

better than the first.
there’s a korean version of GARA GARA GO!… in case you didn’t know.
the only thing that changed is the chorus. it’s in korean. yipee.

i actually like GARA GARA GO. in fact, i think it’s the first japanese song from them that i ACTUALLY LIKE! gasp. they actually made a good jap song. their other song, however, i don’t really like. it’s too slow for me.
but then again, i’m not really into their jap promotions. my personal opinion.

stay tuned for lyric translations… VIPTrans is slowly working on it (as well as 2NE1 stuff!)

2NE1: I Don’t Care MV Released!

I love the concept of the MV, reminds me of that Frozen Grand Central thing in NY, and also one thing that I love; “Don’t get mad, get even”. The dark room and chandlier scene reminds me of Bae’s “Only Look at me” MV scene. I’ve been wondering about the choreograph for this song a while now, since this isn’t a easy tune to make a dance to, but that finger thing… i love it! haha it’s easy to do, easy to remember, yet it’s so cute.

2NE1’s 1st Mini Album Released!

Teddy is too much of a genius, all these tracks are amazing. This is one awesome album….. as expected haha. Props to all who worked on this album. Big Bang will be proud of their sisters.

Big Bang GDragon’s solo album to be released on his 21st birthday

Now there’s a reason for me to look forward to August, cause that’s back-to-school month, and I really do need a reason. CAN’T WAIT!!!

Big Bang leader GDragon will release his first solo album on 18th August on his 21st birthday.

Yang Hyun Seok revealed that on Mnet ‘2NE1 TV’ aired on 2nd July. And on a phone interview with YG on 2nd July, They revealed, “We will have to look into the situation more carefully.”

GDragon’s solo album was pushed back from the initial release date in April because of his slight depression due to great workload he was handling that time. Hence he will be the 4th one from the group after TaeYang, DaeSung and SeungRi to go on his solo activities.

And GDragon is the 2nd member from the group to have his solo album. There are also plans for DaeSung to release a non-trot solo album later this year, and there are also plans TaeYang’s 2nd solo album

Big Bang: GARA GARA GO!! (ガラガラ GO!!) Official MV Released!

[DOWNLOAD] GARA GARA GO!! MV

Thanks to YGEntertainment

Another dance MV, the purple-ness in the beginning already had me happy, since it ’s my fave color, but when I saw Bong in that tall hat…. sitting on that chair… WHOO! Now that is just sexy in a Willy Wonka delicious way. DAE’S NEW HAIR IS TOO DANG SEXY!!! Please Dae… keep it.. PLEASE! And then Baby come into the picture… leaning to the side… with that expression on his face… he wants to murder us or something, that is too much to handle. Bae’s shades has never been shinier… I would love to be that chair… ^_^ haha

This song have such a different vibe to it, it’s definately not what I’m use to with Big Bang, but I am loving it. And I’m also loving Tabi’s tall hair in a red suit and also Bong who is so “freshly dressed” The end where they put all the colorful stage lights together with the dancers and outfits.. freaking hot.

Big Bang: Making of Sudden Attack

[DOWNLOAD] 06.30.09 Behind the Scene: Making of Sudden Attack

A video of them when they did their voiceover for the ‘Sudden Attack’ game, it’s so freaking weird hearing this haha getting all masculine all of the sudden, Tabi’s voice is just perfect…. melting. Many might buy this game, play it just for their sexxiii voices haha Bae will be the one who add a little bit of ‘grooove’ into his voiceover haha

Even though they’re saying almost the same thing, but each have such unique thing about them you can just tell who’s who. Tabi will be his masculine, Bae and his music, Bong and his coolness (also his almost perfect English?) haha Baby’s maknae-ness showed through his voiceover haha and his funny English too … Baby~ “I NEED BACK KUP!” His dark circles must be really bad at the time, the only reason why he’s hiding his eyes from the camera, haha he is such a dork that he makes the camera man LOL.

Dae would be the one who is adding trot to his voiceover…. haha I don’t know how he does it, but he did…. and it’s freaking cool haha I just love how Dae is humble and polite everywhere he go, bowing down to people every minute, it’s such a cute side of him. I just love Dae, he’s too amazing.

Baby’s masculine body got me LOL… I love how they use Bong’s mohican style for the character, sexxyy~

TaeYang: Prayer MV Remake by Kanauru Productions

Whoa…. this is so awesome, at first I thought it was Bae forreal, they really do look like each other! Even the physique and when he put on those shades… twins much? And the dancers are also amazing, this is one epic cool remake.
