[INTERVIEW][TRANS] G-Dragon’s 1st Japanese Pictorial Interview (4/4)



 
 
Ah so your body is filled with music and rhythm. Tell me, how do you feel when you hear the loud support from the Japanese fans?
Truth be told, it’s unbelievable that so many people know of us. We sing in Korean but Japanese fans can actually sing along with us. I feel very, very happy but since there are a lot of restrictions, we can’t be in close contact with the fans like we do during concerts in Korea. It makes me worried during that time because I value the close distance between the fans – I’ve experienced the joyfulness of this first hand when I was young. I went to a concert of my favorite singer at the time and during one of his performances, that person shook my hands and I felt especially happy. I will never forget that feeling, and that’s why I want to spread that feeling to our fans.

[INTERVIEW][TRANS] G-Dragon’s 1st Japanese Pictorial Interview Part 3



 
 
Ah I understand. Are the BIGBANG members scared of you then?
Not really….(laughs), but I was scared the first time I met Taeyang. Our personalities are complete opposites. I used to be more introverted when I was young but now he is the one that’s introverted. I was quite shy when I saw him for the first time but ever since we started training together and going through thick and thin, we know what the other is thinking now just by glancing at one another. We have no misunderstandings with each other. Like Taeyang, all the members are like family to me and I say this from the bottom of my heart. It’s a special kind of existence and we all respect each other.

Were you extremely excited when you performed for the first time on stage as part of BIGBANG?
Rather than being excited, I was extremely stressed out. Only a few people knew of the name ‘GD’ back then. A lot of people had great expectations of us as the first boy group under YGE and because of that, there were a lot of eyes on us. Instead, that pressure brought the 5 of us closer together. I said this to the members, “in order to not let people feel ashamed of the name BIGBANG, we have to do things that exceed their expectations”. Everyone worked hard day by day after that.

G-dragon (GD), when was the first time you became interested in music?
When I was still in grade school. My friend’s father was a producer on a music show at the time, so when I went over to their house to play I saw a lot of foreign artists’ CDs. That was also the first time I listened to hip-hop and was moved by the music.

[NEWS] Producer Teddy Riley talks about Big Bang



Excerpt from an article on producer Teddy Riley talking about Kpop when he went to Jeju last Sunday [for the Inkigayo concert special]:

On Big Bang, he praised them by saying they’re “a threatening group which can conquer the pop music market even beyond Asia.” He also added how G-Dragon can speak English fluently and is able to communicate well with others.

[INTERVIEW] GDragon – 10Asia Interview (BIG BANG IS BACK Edition)


GDragon – 10Asia Interview (BIG BANG IS BACK Edition)

“BIGBANG IS BACK” is how they informed people of their return to the local music scene in two years and three months — short and concise. But the Big Bang we see today is different from that of two years and three months ago. Every member of the group has pursued activities solo, becoming a group a five stars rather than a group in itself, to become that much more uniue. So how did G-Dragon (GD), T.O.P, Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung create the music of Big Bang we hear today? Below are excerpts from 10Asia’s interview with their album’s producer G-Dragon.
