(Translater's note: *I’ve only translated the dialogue parts, not the entire article.)

Q: You are about to go on stage to perform for TGC. How do you feel now?

SOL: Heart throbbing. My heart is about to explode. 

VI: This event is the 10th anniversary and its 20th show.  The history is great and I have heard that many Japanese people love it.  We are going to perform for the finale, the ending stage. Everybody is already excited and I want to make this 10th anniversary stage an awesome one.

SOL: An awesome performance?

VI: AWWWESOME (strongly) performance!

SOL: Is your throat alright?

VI: It is fine. You are nice!!

Things that changed since debut

BIGBANG made a debut in 2006, and next year marks its 10th anniversary.  On changes,SOL says, “Many things have changed but I believe that the environment changed, not really ourselves. The relationship that we have with the fans now is growing into an ideal one that we imagined when we debut.”

On things that never changed, SOL says, “VI’s face. It’s been the same (laughs).”

VI says, “The most different thing is that we have so many fans now.  Because of all of these fans, I now have the responsibility to keep working hard.  Those mind set changed since debut.” 

Q: Favorite fashion on girls?

G-DRAGON: Fashion that is natural.

D-LITE: I don’t have particular fashion that I like, so anything that suits that person.  I tend to whole picture of the  person, including clothes and the vibe. The most important is personality.

SOL: It’s almost spring so I prefer something fresh and flower-ish.

TOP told us about his favorite type, not the fashion and says, “I love women who is not too skinny. I prefer someone who eats a lot even on our date.”

Then VI tells him, “That is not the topic!  Why are you so free like that?”

VI likes “One-piece dress.  Those ones that flow with the wind.”

Q: On March 25, 2015, BIGBANG JAPAN DOME TOUR 2014~2015 “X” DVD will be released.  Tell us about the memorable moments during the tour.

VI: We set a center-stage because we wanted to be closer with the fans and have fun.  The fans can see us from 360degree angle so if you love TOP, you can keep watching him, and so on.  This tour was about BIGBANG and the fans becoming “one” so DVD will show you that.

VI cont.: We played a game with the fans; the section of fans who won were interviewed by us and they could request us to do many things… sing, dance, funny face, other crazy requests.  I believe that the fans enjoyed it because we were able to go closer to them.  The members also enjoyed it

 Attakainndakara~

A phrase of a comedy pair KUMAMUSHI, “attakainndakara~ (it’s very very warm~)” is very popular in Japan and VI loves it. We have asked what kind of moments are warm.

TOP: I am not happy so….( then VI stops him from talking saying “What is that negative vibe! We don’t need that now.”)

D-LITE: When I take a shower and go into bed. (laughs)

SOL: Take a shower…. and bed? Yes when I’m in bed.

VI: When I am on stage and feel the spot light (laughs). It’s also very warm when the fans scream for us.

How to make dreams come true

Since they have been making their dreams come true one by one, we have asked them for tips.

SOL says “When you get a good/kind boyfriend, I think you will able to get closer to make it true with all his support.”

VI “I think the tip for all women is to keep smiling.  If you keep going forward with a smile on, you can do anything!”

TOP “Courage is the most important. The key to success is not to be afraid and have courage to make an action.”

Q: There are rumors of BIGBANG “comeback” soon…

VI: That rumor is true. We are now in the process of recording in the studio.  70% is done.  For the fans who are waiting to hear our new songs, we are working hard so we don’t ruin the expectations.  I think this comeback will show you the new BIGBANG style, songs, and performance and surprise the fans.  I just want to tell the fans “Please expect for it”. 

SOL: Actually, don’t expect much. Because I want to have have a greater surprise (laughs)
