Will Big Bang really be able to promote six songs simultaneously?

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

It was previously reported that top Hallyu group Big Bang are planning a comeback with a total of six title tracks. This has caused industry insiders to wonder how they will implement such a demanding promotion plan. It also begs the question of how successful they will be with this kind of unprecedented project. 

In the past, singers who have had more than one title track has experienced a narrowing down to one main song, depending on the response of the public. For instance, when a comebacks features two or three title songs, the public is quick to determine their favorite track, which causes an automatic shift in promotions towards the popular song. It seems that Big Bang aren’t deterred by such a history, for it’s been reported that they’re pulling out all the stops to ensure a successful six song blitz. They are planning a number of music videos that will showcase each song’s color and concept, and they have devised a plan that will allow them to overcome the two-song limit of TV promotions. 

The individual members are also ready for the challenge. For each song, they have prepared a performance and concept that will let each members show off their unique colors. Furthermore, they have expressed their determination to allow each song to properly shine and prevent the bottleneck effect for one song. 

A representative of YG Entertainment was quoted as saying, “It will not be an easy promotion, but we are carefully planning various strategies so that all of Big Bang’s songs will be able to show off their unique styles.”

"and they have devised a plan that will allow them to overcome the two-song limit of TV promotions."

Should troll everyone with Guerilla Concert's outside the Music show buildings. sucks for folks who wanna watch it proper on TV n shiz but news reports/fancams will slip through for em. Reconnect with the hometown populace a bit more. Doing a nation tor also wouldn't be such a bad idea.

lawl sorry i didnt mean to reply to you

[funkaliciousss.livejournal.com]

guerilla concert will be epic.

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

alright it's not even like they gotta do six songs in one show thats not even necessary

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

This is a search for complete and utter k-scene domination if I ever saw one.

[the-erotomanic.livejournal.com]

maybe they'll get their own music show. maybe a youtube show. or maybe they'll have a reality show documenting their preparations for their upcoming tour and promotions. and each episode focuses on of the song.

it's so fun speculating on what they'll be doing. but it'll suck if they'll promote 6 awful songs at the same time. but this is bigbang. so that's highly unlikely.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

So far Blue sound nice and I have high expectation for Dae's solo.
A youtube show would be nice. Something like Jin's takeover, only better.

[the-erotomanic.livejournal.com]

i'm not a big fan of bigbang, but i don't think i've heard a bigbang song that i don't like.

[johnnyquest89.livejournal.com]

dunno how 6 song promo would be awful. I get bored of the same 1-2 performances every week 3+ times a week.

[the-erotomanic.livejournal.com]

i meant it would suck if the 6 songs they're promoting are awful.

but honestly, i actually don't mind watching my favorite group perform the same song 3/4 times a week for 5-6 weeks.

[johnnyquest89.livejournal.com]

Ah, sorry misread it. n Depending on the group your right about watching the same song. but most are seeing it once basically seen it a thousand times, just diff outfits, so it gets boring to me.

[hajar-a.livejournal.com]

yes , BB can do it ..

[yolleh.livejournal.com]

That's quite a lot of exposure + it will probably shut up those KVIPs that were whining about BB getting the shaft. Killing two birds with one stone, not bad.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

They still won't shut up. They'll just whine about something else, their fav not getting screen time, GD's hair not being what they wanted, no enough TOP ankles etc.

[sunshine2163.livejournal.com]

this. or the fact that it's not back in the haru haru days! ugghhhhh everyone who says that i want to punch in the throat. shit pisses me off.

[hurtmybones.livejournal.com]

lol @ the Haru Haru days. If they were still doing that shtick people would be complaining about how stale they are or w/e.

[hurtmybones.livejournal.com]

That's basic fandom stuff. Last time they really raised a stink (something to do with YG's shares?) about BB's promotions and how YG cares more about ~his princesses.

[bananaclaw.livejournal.com]

My guesses:
-a lot of youtube videos like what 2NE1 did with 'Lonely'
-ALBUM MEDLEY!! haha.

[funkaliciousss.livejournal.com]

more music videos is always good but do they really need to promote all 6 tracks at once? only one song can get number 1 you know? if you let the rest have their turn they can all get number ones.

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

ngl that gives the miss a stan in me some hope for some awards. normally i'm very secure about them competing with other groups, so is jype/aq, but big bang is big bang, there is no point of being delusional XD

[raiknii.livejournal.com]

I don't see the need for 6 MVs all at once, but I actually wish groups would promote more than 1 or 2 songs from their albums on music shows. First, I'm bored of seeing one song about 20 million times. Second, then people might actually release more albums (as opposed to mini-albums).

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

i love big bang so much, they are my fav male group after one day, but their concept this time annoys me so much, it's so cheap and it looks like something teen top would do.

with that said, i'm really excited with the song itself, after hearing the preview even more. and i really want dae’s solo, i mean, baby don't cry is one of my fav songs from their last mini.

[kazu-kumaguro.livejournal.com]

not alien and young enough (and high pitched) to be teen top.

but yeah Big Bang shouldn't try to stick with the trend so much tbh, they never have real hits with this... modernized concepts (or male 2NE1-ish) they've been having lately.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

6 songs at the same time is overkill. Promote two songs and eventually release other MV's like GD did with his solo.

But i'm so excited.

[kazu-kumaguro.livejournal.com]

I actually think so.
no way shooting all 6MVs.
or maybe sth like butterfly.

[ozw.livejournal.com]

And at least one of random footage spliced together from concerts and photoshoots.

[shocko-o.livejournal.com]

6... are they planning to have 5 solos (since they have individual versions) and one group song? either way, sounds ambitious and i'm excited! sounds like a fun promotional period coming up.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

As far as we know "Wings" is the only solo

[crazyxcami.livejournal.com]

the tracklist for the solo versions of the "ALIVE" Album remains, Daesung's solo is the only solo song in it :)

[olive-101.livejournal.com]

6 MVs?! ='D

[ghost-whisper.livejournal.com]

idk, I'm looking forward to the comeback, but it still feels like overkill to me. And I think, that doing six songs at once, some of the songs' promos won't be as good as others' - whether it's mvs, live routines, whatever. Seems over the top.

[donutism.livejournal.com]

I hate it when people say that they wish the group will go back to the old days. They are a group. They have to evolve to stay in the industry. While I do love their haru haru days, I'm excited for more music to listen to instead of the same stuff. Their concept pictures are kind of like ehhh, but so are majority of concept pictures.

6MVs?!
