Big Bang's "Japanese" version of Haru Haru

It's LQ because it's a cellphone recording, small bits were released earlier as ringtones. GD & TOP's raps are in Japanese for once! \o/

This is pretty bad, I hope it sounds a bit better in HQ.

Somehow I don't like it, it sounds "strange"

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

DNW ever. I love the song but stop it YG.

big bang needs to give up on their japanese music career already

[xkeirafanx.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Rather not.

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

Haru Haru? Really now? :/

[breakinglocks.livejournal.com]

Why Haru Haru now?
It's so old. I mean I love the song but why now?
I don't think it sounds good in japanese

[stormsandsins.livejournal.com]

It's going to be released as part of their "Best Of BIGBANG" album or something iirc.

[breakinglocks.livejournal.com]

Ah okay ^^ but still I don't think it was such a good idea.

[stormsandsins.livejournal.com]

Me neither. I'm at work now so I can't listen to the full audio but I heard the snippets the other day and they sounded kind of awkward. Like, the syllables flow better in the Korean version.

[kotetsu.livejournal.com]

The Japanese fans were asked to vote on which song they wanted a Japanese version of...so this happened.

[breakinglocks.livejournal.com]

Sorry but they chose the wrong song. I mean I love Haru Haru, no doubt but some songs should just be in korean.

[izabera.livejournal.com]

Is it really necessary for them to have Japanese songs? Does it actually gain them (or 2NE1) new fans in Japan? Se7en sounds good in Japanese, Big Bang Japanese songs just sound weird and forced to me :(

[thebluemonk.livejournal.com]

huh. id have thought this would have already been translated already.

that sentence hurt my brain.

[naturalhonee.livejournal.com]

nothing will ever top the flawless korean version, but this isn't bad. i thought it flowed pretty well, especially the chorus. didnt even need a few listens to get used to it.

[gunsandsmoke.livejournal.com]

this is pritty good tbh like it's not as bad as the japanese version of "last farewell" so i consider it a success???

you whiners need to S T O P because big bang has plenty of japanese original singles and this was done as a favor to japanese fans who wanted an old classic to be redone so ARREST ur s l a n d e r to these g o d s

[tees2mai.livejournal.com]

I like it. I've missed daeri's vocals ;~;

^_^

[hajar-a.livejournal.com]

loved it ..
in any lang. in anything .. it will be flawless

:)

[breakinglocks.livejournal.com]

I actually like their japanese songs but not their japanese versions of older songs >

[aanjali.livejournal.com]

My first reaction when I heard that was "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~".
This song was so perfect the way it was.

[kaihara-rika.livejournal.com]

dammit why?!?
you don't mess with the classics, and I must say this is their most classic song
stop ruining good songs with horrible sounding translations -_-

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

I don't think GD & TOP are fluent enough to have a good flow in Japanese (ESPECIALLY TOP), at least not in Haru Haru, the song's partly based on it. Well, it was a good try ! They should go back with original songs >< Actually, the chorus actually went better. AND DAESUNG SINGING <3

This said, I don't hate it. This album will be a nice favour, and a nice way for them to comeback as a group. Is it true that the Japanese fan have chosen which songs they wanted to be translated ?

But I love Haru Haru too much to like it in another language.

[cordyceps.livejournal.com]

So many people in here who ignore the fact that Big Bang have released plenty of original Japanese music. They did this for a 'Best of' album.

Hurk.

[unfinishedwing.livejournal.com]

It does sound a little awkward in Japanese...
but I love this flawless song to pieces so idc.

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

they need to stop with the japanese remakes
i'm sorry it just doesn't work
