Big Bang [YG Entertainment]
Top Korean boy band Big Bang will release a new album in Japan next month, according to their official Japanese website on Friday. The website showed that Big Bang's album "ALIVE," produced in five editions, will go on sale in the country on March 28 though the tracklist has yet to be revealed. The boys will also take their "BIG SHOW" to Japan, kicking off in Korea in early March, with a series of concerts in Nagoya, Yokohama, Osaka, Saitama and Fukuoka starting May 17. In the meantime, Big Bang is gearing up to make their comeback to the local music scene with their highly anticipated fifth mini-album set to hit stores on February 29. Big Bang, composed of members G-Dragon, Taeyang, T.O.P, Daesung and Seungri, made their debut in 2006. They have a number of hit songs under their belt including "Lies," "Haru Haru," "Love Song" and "Tonight." The boys were recently invited to perform at Japan's R&B hip-hop festival 2012 SPRINGROVE with fellow YG labelmates 2NE1. ※ Any copying, republication or redistribution of 10Asia's content is expressly prohibited without prior consent of 10Asia.
