Big Bang wants to be Big in Japan

VIP's rejoice because at 12:00 noon today Big Bang released a single in Japan. But prepared to be disappointed because it's just a Japanese remake of their song "Heaven" now entitled "My Heaven."

I couldn't find the full song but here is a teaser. Check it out:

It has been reported that all the members are currently in Japan in preparations for their new promotions in Japan (G-Dragon recently took a vacation in Europe). The old new Japanese single album is said to to have the tracks in both English (possibly the Remix in tracklisting) and Japanese lyrics. Big Bang's new single will be their first album under their Universal Records (in Japan) contract. Big Bang has been taking a long break in Korea and that won't change anytime soon. For the second half of 2009, Big Bang says that their main focus will be on the Japan market. As for their recent Japanese activity, G-Dragon recently worked with popular Japanese group W-inds while TOP is filming and doing promotions for the drama IRIS in Japan.

On June 24th, Big Bang will release three versions of a single album with one of the versions containing some DVD footage.

This is their supposed track list:
Version #1 CD
Track info:
1. My Heaven
2. Emotion
3. My Heaven(Remix)

Version #2 CD
Track info:
1. My Heaven
2. Emotion
3. Candle(remix)

Version #3 CD+DVD
Track info:
1. My Heaven
2. Emotion
3. My Heaven(Remix)
DVD with making of My Heaven music video

It seems that "Emotion" will be a new song and I'm hoping it's as good as their other singles that they've released in Japan. Personally, I prefer the songs they've promoted in Japan in the past to the ones promoted in Korea. It's like they have an entirely different feel to them. Will these singles get them the number 1 spot on the Oricon charts like TVXQ? I don't know if Japan is really into the style of music that Big Bang makes, but who knows.

Thanks to totoro for the Japanese translations!
