i cant tell whether their japanese is good or not (since i cant speak it) but since ive been watching thsk and the way they speak…. bb has a LONG way to go… let alone speak like a true jap. but its good theyre trying… LOL at gd’s random english. in my eyes… gd can do no wrong….

i love me some G-Dragon english haha
he sounded real cute!!

They need to stay in Japan to improve their Japanese. I had to listen to it twice to understand them.

There was no way EXILE was going to lose lol.

they’re not cute
they’re so wannabe blacks (w/ their style and music)
It’s horrendous
sigh…
whatever floats your boat, ppl

@51 When THSK debut in Japan their Japanese weren’t that good either. They live in Japan long enough to master the language compare to BB who stay for only… i dunno..2-3 months a year perhaps..

As a Japanese speaker, I must say their Japanese are LOLable…but it was fun to watch XD

@54.
Wannabe or whatever..they’re fun n entertaining. Dont care about their music that much though

@54

There’s no such thing as a “black” style. If there is such a thing, your DBSK is wanna be white since the bboy trend was not made by asians.

Wow what a bunch of fags. DBSK lost tooo. HAHAHAA

EXILE>Big Bang + DBSK

Sad

waa…so cool

SeungRi’s Japanese is a little broken…and it’s still pretty simple. But Japanese and Korean have really similar grammar so I guess it’s easier for them.

wah! not bad leader kwon!haha

GD’s english is getting better (: idk about their japanese but it sounds good lol BIG BANG FIGHTING!

OMG !  love it! (:
gd is great at english !

Riku aka# 54? you’re a fucking idiot. They’re not wannabe blacks, and even if they were, what’s so horrendous about it? Are you still so ancient that black people still ‘horrify’ you? And like someone said, if Big Bang are wannabe blacks then DBSK are wannabe whites…but I guess it’s okay to want to be white.

their Japanese has this werid accent but it’s fine I guess! it’s hard to speak without an accent anyway~

@33: it does sound like its the background english for a song -_-

I find it impressive that most of the k-pop artists either know Japanese or Mandarin. I have trouble with those languages. I think I speak French better than I can butcher Mandarin. :DD

i don’t know why ppl expect them to have good japanese already. they’re barely starting to focus in japan, give them time.  it took boa and dbsk a few years to get a good handle of japanese.  it’s never easy for anybody to learn a different language. and of course they’ll always have an accent since they’re native korean.  my grandfather moved to california from china when he was 22years old, and he still has some accent.

@64

I agree. Blacks and Whites have started their own trend. Asians haven’t unless you count their old traditional music with their instruments. That’s what they started and they now follow trends that are set by other races.

I don’t like how GD split english here and there in his first public japanese show. I prefer them to speak in Korea (as they are representative from korea) than speaking english. The audience is japanese, they are korean, and although they are introducing an american artist, they can just say it in english at the end of the speech.                     
Japan is as bad (or as best, you choose) as korea in term of valuing their culture. All artist (who is mix or foreigner like Jero, THSK) win the japanese public by showing their high interest in Japanese culture and show their willingness to accept it. Learn to lower your head GD, learn it!!!!
Daesung is such a sweet heart ^^

you guys do know when a white person tries to rap they call them wigger / black wannabe and when a black person tries to sing country music they call them a uncle tom / white wannabe? thats how it is.

their japanese is… still painful to listen to. they should prolly start working on their grammar.
btw i LOVE LOVE LOVE mtv japan^^

G dragonnnnn<3

some people here just cant hide how much they want to talk bad about big bang
i think we know who are the haters….anyways
Go big bang! with time they will improve their english =)

i mean japanese*

lolz that was cute =]
sigh* still not diggin’ g-dragon’s hair, but dang i still love him!

taeyang is looking mighty fine

omg!!! love big bang, they are sounding awesome

As much as I like Big Bang, it’s a good thing that they didn’t perform at the MTV VMAJ. It would not have been in their favor. They need to seriously improve their language skills (Japanese and English) to perform in front of a Japanese and/or English-speaking audience to gain credibility.

what was katy perry doing in japan… o.o

What’s with the Random English by GD? o_o

Gd sounded like a fool spitting out random phrases.
Daesung, Taeyang, and Top looked good.
I’m pretty sure Taeyang has th best japanese out the group for those who were asking.

For the people who asked why Katy Perry was there MTV VMAJ is pretty huge. They always have foreign artists perform including Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, etc.
Japan is either the 2nd or 3rd largest music market in the world so yea…....

with practice i’m sure they’ll be better in japanese.
though… i didn’t like g-dragon english- it’s too random D: i normally like g-dragon the best but he seriously looks like a girl here >_< i didn’t know who katy perry was so i thought g-dragon is katy perry from the pic haha XD *fail*

omg big bang roxz >-<

Their Japanese was a bit…iffy, but DBSK took a little while to master the language as well, so I’m sure it’ll be the same for Big Bang. They should study it during their spare time too like DBSK did

lol what is with GD’s random english @__@

BIG BANG(: aww their english is soo cute:D KATY PERRY WAS IN JAPAN :O!

@ 87 - OH HELL NO, you did not just steal my avatar.  The same cropping/cut & everything. You literally right-clicked & saved, didn’t you? -__-

There English is great. And what was Katy Perry doing in Japan?

their Japanese is cute and simple 8D

WOW !!!! they look so hot !!!! i love them !!!

I’ll be waiting for Big Bang in Perú !!!!!

^_^

gd.. your hair..your hair.. your hair !! T.T

i’m not japanese/don’t speak japanese, but i think they’re japanese is pretty good and so is their english. good job guys! :D

GD!!!<3
my husband looks so hot!  i’m loving his hair
they all look so good :D
their english really improved

they sound fine in both languages…it’s too short to make a judgement

The boys are more talented than most Jpop groups out there, that’s for sure…

@96
You compare them with some JE idol bands only, right? Japan has lots of quality JPop groups that master in singing and some can compose real music, not just sampling.  Even with JE idol boybands, I’m not sure if BB is really better, or just a hype.

The best thing is that any group don’t have to be no.1, 2, or 3 to be recognize and successful because japanese market is large. As long as they have a good quality to offer, they can be successful finally.

about their Japanese, no comments here. I thk GD’s trying-to-be-American-accent English might sounds ok for Asian audiences but a little bit come out of no where for native speakers. Anyway we dont need to be so harsh on this, theyre still young and with all the potential. they’ll getting better

good japanese? bad japanese? i’m just glad they are even speaking japanese (that japanese album left me with close to no hope!)
the english is getting there. progress is always good. =)

I love how GD said katy perry
