④ The female type you like? I want to meet Aoi Yu. I’ll try hard!
⑤ What kind of date do you want? With the feeling of「I’m dating this person!」, I want to hold their hand openly and go to the amusement park. (This made me sad :( He probably won't be able to do this for at least another 5 years.)

Congratulations on your Japanese debut!
SOL (Taeyang): The debut song 『MY HEAVEN』 is a collaboration by G-DRAGON and Japanese DJ DAISHI DANCE, who he liked before. We decided on this song as the debut song because it had the best response during last year’s tour.
Aren’t Korean fans lonely because you moved on to Japan?
G-Dragon: Everyone’s supporting our Japanese debut, and since my album’s coming out soon, it’s okay!
D-LITE (Daesung):Right now in Korea, our commercial is having more than 10 editions, too.
How did you prepare for your Japanese debut?
TY: First, it was studying Japanese. However, the only people that can speak in Japanese are V.I, D-LITE, and myself, and the rest can listen, but they can only speak a little bit.
TOP: We decided to speak only in Japanese as much as we can with the staff.
You are living together.
TY: In Korea, all of us lived together in a dorm but in Japan, it’s like a mansion.
Renting three apartments, D-LITE and I, G-DRAGON and V.I., TOP and the manager are together. The manager does everyone’s laundry. For food, there’s always a traitor, so for health purposes, we eat Korean food.
V.I. (Seungri): We all have different habits when sleeping. D-LITE is always in the same position until morning. SOL wakes up right away when there’s any sort of noise. For me, my head and my feet totally switch positions.
GD: When I fall asleep, I don’t wake up. Even in the morning, I can’t wake up. (Laugh)
Whose room is most clean?
DS: Is it G-DRAGON?
Tell us everyone’s personalities. How about D-LITE?
SR: He’s bright, and a mood maker.
TY: Somehow, he’s really like a celebrity. With lots of secrets.
Tell us your secret!
DS: Not going to the bathroom. Since I’m a celebrity. (Laugh)
[Note: This is a recurring joke between the members. Taeyang said last year (while they were on Sang Sang Plus) that a mystery among BB was how no one has ever seen Daesung go #2 even though they've lived together for 3+ years. lawl.]
How about SOL?
DS: He’s accurate about every matter, and tries hard even to the little things.
SR: Because his thoughts about music are deep, on the stage his charisma is great!
Does SOL have any secrets?
TY: My hair doesn’t grow even after a few years! (laugh)
TOP Because his hair is a figure (Laugh)
What about V.I.?
SR: To tell the truth, lately my bowels have been very weak…. (all laugh). This is a big problem!
DS: He thinks of the stuff that other members can’t think of. He’s a cute maknae.
T.O.P?
DS: When he sings or acts, he’s really cool, and in daily life, he’s a hyung.
SR: He has humor.
What about G-DRAGON?
DS: He’s the leader, and he’s strict about work, but he tells us good things.
SR: He’s really keen about the mood, so he knows right away when you did something wrong. The reason my stomach hurts is probably G-DRAGON’s fault. (laugh)
GD I always treat you very nicely!!
What might have changed from the time of debut?
GD: When we were rookies, we just worked hard, but now, we have no freedom, so it would be nice if we could think of the future. I think we grew psychologically.
TOP: As much as we experienced over a short period of time, I think we grew quickly too. We had a lot to learn about human relations, and I think one by one we got deeper and more meticulous.
All of you are adults
TOP: I’m a baby (laugh)
A message to your fans.
GD: Please listen to our music and come to watch our concert. You can know BIGBANG. (You can know BIGBANG? ... I can haz cheezburger? XD I think something was lost in translation here.)

I know it's ratings have been amazing but Boys Over Flowers did too and that quickly went into a mindfuck of a show.
Should I waste time downloading it?

Tell us your secret!
DS: Not going to the bathroom. Since I’m a celebrity. (Laugh)

LOL.
Daesung whatever you are doing to keep them from seeing you go #2 is genius. I wonder if he gets up in the middle of the night when everyones asleep…

TOP: I’m a baby (laugh)
