3rd mini album STAND UP

Bigbang’s mini album [Stand Up] release date has been moved back from Aug. 1, to Aug 8. T T

This was not intended but it’ll come out same day as the first day of Olymics (08.08.08). another funny fact is that Bigbang’s leader G-Dragon was born when 88 Olympic started Aug 18, 1988.
There are too many eights to say that it was not intended, right? haha

It was hard to make this album because of the love bigbang received before. Bigbang’s [LIE] and [LAST FAREWELL] has topped the charts for six months so we were burden to make this album even better.
But through the efforts of all the Bigbang members and the ‘alien’ producer G-Dragon, we are very happy with the results.

Even though it was a big hit, there were a lot of talks about the song [LIE] T T
so we thought ‘If that kind of rumor is going to spread, why not just work with the person who they thought we copied’ so we produced with (DAISH DANCE) and as a result, we produced a song called [HARU HARU].

[HARU HARU] is a ’shibuyakay’ genre produced by ‘DAISH DANCE’, and melody, rap, and lyrics written by G-Dragon. The fast rhythm of the piano is really addicting and it feels continued from the song [LIE] but since the lyrics and the melody gives the song a sad mood, it gives more of a sensuous impression.

For the title song [HARU HARU] music video, producer Cha Eun-Tek who produced [LIE] will be doing it…and the music video for [OH MY FRIEND] contributed by ‘NO BRAIN’ will be done by producer Suh Hyun-Sung who produced Taeyang’s [PRAYER]. Both music videos will be released Aug. 8th.

It was a different experience working with ‘DAISH DANCE’ and ‘NO BRAIN’ Bigbang’s not a group who goes with one genre so we are planning to work with other singers of various genre in the future.

Other than the title song [HARU HARU] and [OH MY FRIEND], i believe that [HEAVEN] will be a hit too, also produced with DAISH DANCE.

We are debating on whether or not to have [HEAVEN] as second title song or to release another mini album around october. I’ll have to think this over.

Bigbang’s first performance will be Aug. 10th at ‘ SBS INKIGAYO’. (since MBC music core on the 9th is a filmed beforehand stage, we’re not able comeback then) bangee’s~ let’s do it again~!! ^^
