On November 23rd, Big Bang will release a new album in Japan called, “The Best of Big Bang“.
According to reports from Japanese media outlet Sankei Sports, the album will feature 14 songs sung in Japanese, one of which being their famous track, “Haru Haru“.
“Haru Haru” was released back in August of 2008, and it’s become one of Big Bang’s most popular songs, earning nearly 22 million views on YouTube. A survey was held in mid-September which asked, “Which Korean song do you want to hear in Japanese?“, and “Haru Haru” was chosen with nearly 9,000 votes, totalling to 90% of the overall count. It’s said that the boys decided to release a ‘best-of’ album due to the immense popularity of these survey results.
Sankei Sports also reported that this version of “Haru Haru” will feature vocals from member Daesung, who’s currently put a hold on his promotions with the group due to a car accident scandal earlier this year.
Big Bang’s leader G-Dragon shared, “This is a special album that was made for our Japanese promotions, and so we gathered all the songs which our Japanese fans specifically wanted to hear. We’ve worked hard on this album to please our fans.”

I remember when they did the voting poll a few weeks back on their Japanese site. But I was hoping that'd be on a NEW Japanese-English album. But I guess b/c of Daesung it's not new? Or they're just being lazy again. I'm going with this was recorded before Daesung's accident. I guess with YGEX they're being rushy. Mixed emotions rn.

Date: 2011-10-02 01:23 pm (UTC)But it can also be a way to bring Daesung slowly back to BIG BANG ? Precisely because a cover album isn't something you need to fully put yourself into - the songs are already composed and everything - not like a whole new album... Poor baby had such a bad time and disappeared for so long, they need to go slow with him. Can't wait to hear him again <3
