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.

Haru Haru is still the most played song on my iTunes, I hope they don't destroy the reputation of their past hit songs with Japanese remakes... -.-
I hope none of the Japanese remakes sound worse than Lucifer remake.

I kinda wish BigBang would release new songs.. + GDTOP remake album again.. :/

Am hard pressed to find a Jap remake that I really like from YG. Idk. Haru Haru was the song that got me stanning BB & YG. I hope they don't muck it up like they did for 2NE1. :\

Off topic but I'm highly suspicious of Taeyang rn. I think he's going to be the first to release a solo something. Also cheap tactic is cheap, YG.

There's been rumors floating around since the summer that he was going to release something in the fall. Shaun got interviewed and said he was working on new material with Youngbae but then YG decided to concentrate on 2ne1 so I dunno what's gonna happen. Maybe he'll get pushed for the new year since Gummy, GTOP and 2ne1 are doing shit in the following months.

They are all promoting in Japan though and YB has been working on Korean/English material.

Well he said he's working on new material with YB and GD. So I'm highly suspicious of them both. I also think he may just release a single because at the end of SOLAR promotions he did say he liked the long promotions that he did.

UGH, this is EXACTLY like when Luck Charms releases some BULLSHIT special version with the shooting starts or some stupid SHIT. NO GENERAL MILLS YOU WILL NOT GET MY MONEY AND I LOOK DOWN ON YOU. YOU ARE ALL TERRIBLE PEOPLE.

Then I go and buy Cocoa Puffs, Extra Chocolate Cocoa Puffs, Double Stuff Cocoa Puffs, Fuckload of Chocolate Cocoa Puffs, and Est It Fucker Cocoa Puffs Because it is my favorite cereal and they do NOTHING like what BULLSHIT LUCKY CHARMS does.

Well I'm not so negative. Of course it's a bit stupid, they already have a best album and those songs doesn't need to be translated in Japanese.

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
