G-DRAGON and TOP, famed members of the hugely successful K-pop group BIGBANG, are set to debut their special unit in Japan early next year. The two just released their 1st album together recently in South Korea, and are looking to do the same in Japan on February 23rd.
The two appeared at the 2010 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) just last month and unveiled a track from the new album called “KNOCK OUT”.
In similar fashion, the duo are looking to now knock out Japan by releasing a special version of the album, “GD & TOP Vol. 1″. It will include a DVD with the music videos for “HIGH HIGH” and “TURN IT UP” as well as another song for a total of three. First shipment will include a poster as well. The Japanese edition will also have the benefit of unpublished, full shots in the booklet.

While being part of Big Bang, the unit album that you’ve been personally waiting for is finally coming out. We heard that you two were really good friends even before Big Bang debuted. We’re curious as to how you guys feel about releasing a unit album together.
GD: A lot of people have been expecting it and in order to repay for the wait, we worked hard to make this album. We’re happy that we were able to make an album that we’re satisfied with. I hope that from the people who have been waiting for this album to those who just coincidentally happen to listen to it will like it and that everyone is satisfied with it.
What are your concepts for this album? Also, can you tell us some episodes that happened while working on this album?
TOP: The biggest concept and specialty of this album is that through many attempts, we were able to put many different styles of music into this one album. Rather than having one special episode, the time we spent with Teddy and E.Knock everyday at the studio is what’s left deep in my memories. Our nights and days were switched and that’s how were spent our daily lives. We put that much effort into it and I think that’s why we’re receiving a lot of love and support from all the fans.
