BIGBANG kicked off “Japan tour” that will draw about 800,000 fans… Writing “unprecedented records” for three years in a row”

  
[OSEN=박소영 기자] BIGBANG kicked off their world tour at Tokyo Dome on the 12 this month. BIGBANG is the first-ever foreign artist who holds Tokyo dome tour for three years in a row.

BIGBANG’s Japan dome tour that has been kicked off one year after last year’s one was filled with the high energy of 55,000 people of audience from even before the beginning of the concert. When the hall was darkened, an opening video like a blockbuster movie was played, and then BIGBANG appeared on the stage, the concert began in earnest with explosive acclamation from the audience.

BIGBANG captivated local fans by performing “BANG BANG BANG”, “LOSER”, “IF YOU” and other songs of “MADE SERIES” that was released from May to August this year, as well as their all-time hits like “FANTASTIC BABY”, “BAD BOY”, etc.

BIGBANG also talked about their new album to be released in Japan, saying, “The MADE album will be released soon. Enjoy our concert now and then please look forward to our album!”

“MADE SERIRES”, a new album to be released by BIGBANG in Japan, will include the eight songs that have been released in Korea this year. The date of the album’s release is February 3, next year. Before that, DAESUNG will release “Encore!! 3D Tour ‘D-LITE DLive D’slove” of his Japan tour that drew 100,000 fans for two years in a row for the first-ever time for a Korean solo artist, on January 27 next year.

Beginning from the Tokyo Dome concert held on the 12 this month, BIGBANG will have Tokyo Dome concert from the 13 to 15. Then, BIGBANG will continue with their Japan dome tour that will draw 801,000 fans to 16 concerts in total four cities, including the concert at Kyocera Dome in Osaka from the 20 to 22 this month, at Yafuoku Dome in Fukuoka from the 28 to 29 this month, at Nagoya Dome from the 5 to 6 in December this year, at Kyocera Dome in Osaka again from the 9 to 11 in January, 2016, and then at Yafuoku dome in Fukuoka again for February 6 and 7 next year.

BIGBANG has been carrying out the largest world concert tour ever for any Korean singer, which gives 70 concerts in 15 countries around the world, drawing more than 1.4 million fans.

Yang Hyun Suk and Mnet Reps Meet to Discuss Attendance of BIGBANG and iKON at the 2015 MAMA

Yang Hyun Suk and Mnet Reps Meet to Discuss Attendance of BIGBANG and iKON at the 2015 MAMA

With the 2015 MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards) about two weeks away, there still isn’t any confirmation of YG Entertainment‘s artists attending the show, but it looks like now there might be some hope, maybe.

YG Entertainment artists like BIGBANG have been a large presence at the yearly awards show for the past few years, which would make their absence conspicuous, especially since BIGBANG has been very active this year with their successful “MADE” album.

Earlier in October, YG Entertainment had voiced their surprise at not being approached by Mnet about attending the 2015 MAMA. Usually two-months advance notice is needed to prepare for a performance for a large show like this, and YG was concerned that Mnet wasn’t talking to them. Before that, there had been tension between YG and Mnet, due to the exclusion of iKON from the “M!Countdown” music chart.

With only two weeks left, one could have safely assumed that YG’s artists wouldn’t be attending the MAMA, especially with BIGBANG busy with their Japanese Dome tour and iKON scheduled to film a music video in early December. But some hope remains with YG and Mnet confirming that YG head, Yang Hyun Suk, met with Mnet reps recently, to discuss BIGBANG and iKON’s attendance. Both sides are being cautious, however, with YG saying the scheduling will be difficult and Mnet asking the public to wait for second round announcement of attendees.
