Big Bang releases their first official Japanese photobook

Consolidating their entry into the Japanese music scene, Big Bang released their first official photobook on September 29th through Gentosha. Titled "BIGBANG PRESENTS ELECTRIC LOVE TOUR 2010", the photobook is the result of five photographers shadowing the group throughout the six concerts, resulting in 354 glossy photos. It takes on a documentary style as fans can flip through photos from their February tour at Tokyo, Yokohama, and Kobe. Fans are also treated to background stories of each members' debut, and their honest opinions on what they think of each other. Leader G-Dragon introduced their first photobook with, "We hope that this gives fans an opportunity to a deeper understanding of what we're thinking." Big Bang will also be holding a handshake event on October 31st in Tokyo. The event passes were released on September 28th and all 1,500 passes were sold out within two hours, with some even being auctioned online for over 100,00 Yen (approximately $1,195.00 USD).
