[NEWS] GD&TOP TO RELEASE "OH YEAH" AND "HIGH HIGH" IN JAPAN THIS NOVEMBER

YG artists G-Dragon and TOP will be revealing their first Japanese single under their sub-unit in November. The single's title track will be a Japanese version of "Oh Yeah" which features 2NE1's Bom as an extra vocalist. "High High" was said to be included into the tracklist as well. Both songs had their lyrics revised for a Japanese release, and were made to fit to the original one as much as possible. Both songs were originally featured on GD&TOP's debut album.

The Big Bang unit made it easier for both its members to put out music that wouldn't be fitting for the whole group. Their first album was revealed last December and was well received by the Korean fans.

During the holidays, fans pointed out a rumor that the duo might be preparing for their Japanese debut after being spotted at Jeju International Airport together with 2NE1's Bom. Bom further revealed in an update that she has a little secret for her fans, which ignited the speculations even more.

"Oh Yeah (Feat. Bom)" will be released on November 9th and will act as the first release on YG and Avex's joint label YGEX.
