G-Dragon goes Bohemian Music Japan

During Big Bang's press conference yesterday at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Tokyo, it wasn't much of a surprise about their plans of expanding into the Japanese market. What was surprising, however, was G-Dragon's new Bohemian styled hair. Well, maybe it shouldn't be too surprising considering that G-Dragon isn't too shy when it comes to trying out new eccentric hairstyles. How do you think it looks?

As for the press conference, Big Bang went through the basic motions and said thanked their fans (more than 500 people waited for them at the airport). They also said they would love to one day perform at the NHK Red & White Songfest (where BoA and TVXQ have previously performed on this prestigious stage in Japan). They also said that they're excited to work with Universal Records and announced that the official date of their "My Heaven" single album will be June 24th.

G-Dragon is also scheduled to perform "Rain is Fallin" with W-inds on May 17th's Music Japan show. On last week's Music Japan, "Rain is Fallin" held the number one spot for the week:

Also looks like it achieved first on the Oricon Daily Chart:

Looks like Big Bang is starting to do some Big things in Japan. I think they can be popular in Japan with the right moves, but they would probably need to change their musical style a bit. I wish them the best of luck.

G-Dragon seriously has to change his hairstyle. I know that he’s an ‘fashionista’, but he’s going TOO far with this. :L

and i’m an fan, so don’t talk crap about anti shit.

@49…why wouldnt they take them seriously? c’mon im sure if you are a singer anyone will take you seriously…and they can speak jap just fine! give BB a break! DBSK and Big Bang are two different group who produces two different music styles so im sure bb would do fine!

@19 and @57
STOP SAYING JAP THIS AND JAP THAT.  It’s offensive to the japanese, go google why it’s offensive. Ignorance isn’t an excuse to use ethnic slurs. There’s a reason why Japanese is usually abbreviated jp, jpn, or ja.

@37
W-inds haven’t been able to sell 100k in singles or albums in a long time.
Their last single actually did better than this one, they’re just lucky no one popular is releasing today.  Their first day numbers are really weak, it looks like 2nd or 3rd day numbers.  It’s sad how far w-inds have fallen.  I love BB and all, but I’m bitter that Keita chose to have a collab and the other two members have to act as backup AGAIN.  fooking keita should let the other two do something.  If Big bang play their cards right this might give them the exposure they need.  It’ll be great if they can get on Music station. Honestly though, Music Station doesn’t like w-inds much.

Good luck to Big Bang in Japan! ^ ^
Ooo, G-Dragon ... going through that weird eco-hippie stage with that ‘do, huh? Ah, well. Everyone goes through it at some point. Just didn’t know that Koreans were aware of it. XD

*spots ‘Journey Through the Decade’ on chart* OOOOH! GACKT! Yay!

 
gdragonx3love's avatar

as much as i LOVE gdragon,
i’m honestly starting to hate his new ‘eccentric’ hairstyles T.T
everything was cool once you got used to it.. until the curly perm. starting from there, his hairstyles have just been getting way too much, which makes it kinda creepy now.

ROFL It was so random in the outfit, He has on gold and white then all of a sudden you see a raccoon taking a nap on his had.

I don’t get why people keep saying they don’t know any japanese.. They did have to take it during their trainee days. Go watch their documentary and see fro yourself : / should state it in ep 3 taeyang’s story raspberry ... that or the ep before i can’t remember.

 
Annej's avatar

I hope they do fine in Japan <3

@ Jules
I see… It’s a pity though, since they do have good songs and one of their member can dance really well (sorry, not familier with them). If only they’re JE boys, I’m sure they will be famous @,@ Oh, so in their early days, all the member sung together and not only act as backups? I felt sad for them when I see their concert >,<

xyiseul's avatar

ew, he shouldn’t sport that hair style from now on..

 
trude's avatar

If Big Bang can get on NHK Red & White Songfest, their popularity will rise tenfolds.  How can they get on there?  Do they have to have #1 hits on Oricon to get into the Red & White Songfest or is it a popularity thing?

 
xVANY's avatar

uhhh.. so on 2NE1 debut stage, Big bang won’t be there to support the girls? since YG said that the YG artists are going to be there to support the girls :/

 
insomniac's avatar

i don’t like this song. and g-dragon’s recent hairstyles have been so blehh. i don’t like this new one at all.

 
maaya's avatar

I don’t know why but I think he looks cute LOL. in a girly way. Looks like he may have been reading a copy of popteen haha.
I like that hair….I guess everyone has different preferences~

also if they don’t expand all over asia how can they make money? duh.

seems somewhat possible

 
china's avatar

they’ll have to do visual kei. i dont know if i could see them that way…....

 
orenji's avatar

@trude: basically, yes… They have to have a several success song number or one of their song become soooo famous.
That’s why it’s soo prestigious. It’s by invitation only. NHK decided who they want to invite every year.
