Big Bang fans' opinions on them going to Japan from this week to November 16

[filmsession.livejournal.com]

One of the fans from DCGD called YG's fan manager to ask about this week's Music Bank schedule. However the fan manager replied by saying Big Bang's going to Japan somewhere in the middle of this week and said they're coming back on November 16. Therefore, there are no schedules this week. Big Bang's staying in Japan until the second week of November for their Japan schedules thus no schedules in Korea until November 16.

However the VIPZ admins called YG and received a reply saying that Big Bang could come back to Korea earlier too (before November 16); YG just gave us the furthest date possible. Changes in the schedule could happen.

So why are the fans mad?
-Nonsense promotions for GD's solo album that GD's waited 10 years for. Only 10 performances on air and only two times on the radio.
-Responding to the fans' requests to make the 'hoodies' with the G-Dragon solo album logo on it but why isn't YG responding to the demands relating to the promotions? Not even a word about these demands.
-Japanese activities, GD solo concert preparations, GD writing songs(for Iris OST album, Japan album and who knows what other albums), GD solo activities promotions, year end performance preparations, MAMA performance preparation etc. all going on the same time. I mean is this seriously possible to do all at the same time?
-Will this happen to YB's solo promotions too? (It is also known now that YB's full-length album will be released the beginning of next year.)

But I think the fans(including myself) are not only mad about the recent incidents that have happened(including this going to Japan thing). It seems like this incident is just a point of 'explosion' for the fans that have been watching what has been going on for these few months(GD solo activities), and even for these few years(Bigbang in general). Seeing what YG has done for the past few years, it does not look like YG is doing their best to 'promote' their artists, but even at times they seem to even do some damage to them.

*Bigbang going to Japan this year was announced early this year. However last year when Seungri was doing his musical around April-May, he did not participate in the Japan promotions. Only four of the members went for promotions and Seungri only went for the really important events(such as the concert). Daesung got to miss out on the Japan promotions for . Is this not making sense only for me?

*Why release the Butterfly MV first when they've said that they've finished making the Boy MV too? G-Dragon's in the middle of the 'Boy' promotions and he's doing quite well. In the end of the Breathe MV there was even a preview for the next movie which was 'Boy'. Why did they release the Butterfly MV first when it would've been the most sensible to release the Boy MV first?

*When GD's solo album was first released there weren't enough albums printed. High demand for the albums but no albums to sell!

*Again overloading their singers with schedules at the end of the year. Well the year-end and Christmas season is inevitable the most busiest season, especially for singers with all their special performances. I don't know if you all remember but in 2007 Bigbang was overloaded with schedules and in consequence Seungri fainted during the concert, TOP went into the hospital too and the other members weren't doing so well either. The fans are worried because this might repeat.(last year wasn't too good either)

*G-Dragon is having a concert in the first week of December. He's planning to come back from Japan on November 16(could be earlier). Will he have enough time to prepare for his concert?

*G-Dragon mentioned in one of his earlier interviews about how he feels like a "song-writing machine". Seriously, why won't YG give their composers a rest? Since 'Lies' came out G-Dragon has been writing songs like crazy(literally). G-Dragon and also all the other members need time to REST to recharge themselves. Big Bang has not had a good rest since 'Lies' came out. (looks like Teddy needs a rest too in my opinion)

*YG IS NOT WILLING TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE FANS!!!! and this is happening again and again.

Seems more like the fans that have been holding everything in thinking "it'll be better next time" have finally surfaced and have finally exploded.
What do you think?

It is true that they're all working their asses off, especially GD who must have so much on his plate right now...I was really surprised that "Hallelujah" was coming out now, and that the MV came out the other day, on top of solo promotions. I don't even know, everything just seems so scattered.

Yeah, I read this yesterday,
and here's my expression :|

YG is always wishwashy & the boys are working to death.

Yeah, i'm pretty lost now too. They're doing little things here and there which is confusing and hard for me to catch up.

[finchburg.livejournal.com]

And the schedule seems to change with whichever way the wind blows... there is no consistency or anything.

[minamelody.livejournal.com]

i really really REALLY hope the boys are okay. like mentally and emotionally and everything like that. especially GD, he must be exhausted by now.

YG really needs to think through his decisions instead of hastily going through with things that just create a whole bunch of confusion :/

i thought the same thing, and to be honest, i AM a little bit concerned because i watched footage from the recent FILA photoshoot and holy crap. they looked completely exhausted, ALL of them. i just wanted to give them a big hug, make them some tea and then force them to sleep for a week.

i doubt g-dragon will perform on any more music shows (inkigayo, music bank, etc.) this year after they're done with japan, which saddens me. :(

[murasakinoegao.livejournal.com]

I agree that they should take a break, but on the other hand, YG may be doing this because they know that if popular groups become inactive for a while, the fans start to complain. So... I guess it's for the fans?

[lovelyable.livejournal.com]

I do wonder sometimes how many times in a week they get to sleep (or nap, I should say).

All I know is, if I had to plane-hop that much, I would probably never stop throwing up. :/

[yanasot.livejournal.com]

i think i remember reading somewhere that yg can't manage more than a group at one time? i think with 2ne1, bb, taeyang and jiyong all sorta active (which is like 4 different artiste), he and the ent are pretty much a mess? idk, just my 2 cents.

"(It is also known now that YB's full-length album will be released the beginning of next year.)"

Whut..

Why didn't I know this?

[jemnise.livejournal.com]

they wanted to balance things, them in Korea and in Japan, forgetting the fact that they are human beings.
if you saw MNet, NO CUT story, they were practically yawning during the entire shoot. oh YG. lawd have mercy T___T

[kazu-kumaguro.livejournal.com]

Hallelujah?

[filmsession.livejournal.com]

a song for the "iris" ost they are doing

[lexandjap.livejournal.com]

I'm lost. :< What's happening! SIGH.

IA IA IA IA. Arghhh.

[no-genre.livejournal.com]

damn yg you are full of fail >:|



this is the reason they planned to escape
wouldnt be surprised if it happens again

[stylishlook.livejournal.com]

will it be 2NE1 next?

[ycmfandom.livejournal.com]

omg I feel so heartbreaking to read this... as a die hard international bb fans... it hurts so much.

[rawthorne.livejournal.com]

4 MVs instead of 3. Yes, I can see why the fans are upset. How dare they give us more instead of less! Scandalous. (And the argument that they're working too hard, but not hard enough because we don't get to see enough promotion, just new material, is made of straw. Either you want them to rest, or you want them to perform. Promotions =/= time off.)

Equally moot point about Seungri/Daesung. Are we pissed that they're all going? That Seungri didn't go? Or that Daesung is going after recovering from his accident?

But anyway. Weren't people complaining that there was too much GD on every show and that he was winning all the awards? Fucked if you do, fucked if you don't.

Also, November 16? Is kind of just around the corner. Two weeks, not two months. Why the panic?

[brassbikini.livejournal.com]

thiiiiiiiiis.

[neko-kakoi.livejournal.com]

yes i agree that everything seems so scattered i don't even know where to start anymore., YB will be releasing an album next year?? wow.
and the whole GD issue is quite confusing too., @_@

[ninja-starshine.livejournal.com]

THIS.

[angel-of-blue.livejournal.com]

Why does every sentence in this mention GD?
Feel like the other members just disappear.

[sleepless.livejournal.com]

Probably because GD has been the most active lately. We're a little thin on Big Bang altogether.

[pretzel-knot.livejournal.com]

well i was kinda thrown off by the japanese mv that was just released. 'cause i thought GD was still promoting?

idk, the organization of their schedules does seem kinda messy. D:

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

I don't understand fans' anger at all with the lack of those extremely badly paid TV/radio appearances as those are just for album promotions and he seemed to sell pretty well with that small amount he did. Plus he did quite a few private events from which he was actually paid well. Expecting him to do more music shows on TV/radio is just selfishness.

It is also known now that YB's full-length album will be released the beginning of next year.
What? I wonder if they confused YB with 2NE1 as with Where U At already out it doesn't really make much sense for him not to release his solo album around time they come back from Japan.

I'm really concerned how GD is going to handle everything though. And he definitely should have a vacation before making him to write more songs (Teddy too).

Everything's all over the place -.-
