[NEWS] YG’S FAMILY CONCERT WOWS JAPAN
YG Entertainment’s 15th Anniversary YG Family Concert jumped outside of Korea to score a huge success in Japan.
YG Entertainment artists Jinusean, Big Bang, 2NE1, Se7en, Gummy, Tablo and Psy performed in Osaka, Japan from January 7-8 to shake up the 80,000 fans who gathered in the Kyocera Dome.
As soon as 2NE1 announced the start of the concert with its debut single Fire, the dome fired up into a giant club, and when Big Bang followed, the crowd greeted them with wild cheers.
Se7en, who will be releasing a mini album in Japan on January 18, presented his Japanese fans a few performances to remember by singing his singles Somebody Else and Better Together in Japanese.
Psy and Tablo, who recently joined YG family, showcased their unique performances, and Psy especially provided a big shock when he parodied female singers as ‘Lady Psypsy’ and ‘Psyonce’ (that′s Lady Gaga and Beyonce for those of you who can′t imagine Psy breaking it down like that).
Gummy impressed with her explosive vocals and fluent Japanese, while the ‘big brothers’ Jinusean led the concert with their performances of Phone Number and A-Yo.
The concert didn’t let the eyes of its audience stray from the stage for one moment by sprinkling in new combinations of YG singers, such as having Se7en and Big Bang’s Taeyang, Daesung and Seungri sing 2NE1’s Lonely together, or bringing in Gummy, Taeyang and Park Bom to perform with Tablo onstage.
The 41 songs performed were enough to entertain the audience for the three and a half hours the concert lasted.
The concert was all the more meaningful as it was YG’s first overseas concert in five years since the 10th Anniversary YG Family Concert in 2006. As such, more than 100 media outlets rushed to cover the event at the press conference held before the concert.
The YG Family Concert will continue through Japan with another set of performances in Saitama from January 21-22.

[TRANSLATION] BIGBANG, thankful to perform in Japan again after 8 months @2012 YG FAMILY CONCERT IN JAPAN
On the 7th, South Korean hiphop group BIGBANG resumed their activities in Japan, performing at Kyocera Dome in Osaka for YG Ent's music event "YG Family Concert in JAPAN". Member D-Lite (22) made a flashy comeback after halting his activities due to a road accident last year.
With their backs turned, all 5 members of BIGBANG descended from a gondola up in the air to the stage, earning the biggest and loudest cheers from the audience that night. 90% of the audience were female fans. During G-Dragon's raps and D-LITE's solo parts in "TONIGHT", the entire dome resounded with the loudest screams. GD breaking the guitar and the 5 of them singing the chorus together with the fans, it was similar to them getting wounded and being reborn.
Last year, after holding their Japan tour in May, D-LITE got into a road accident and was immediately put into a hiatus. Then on October, it was reported that in July, GD was interrogated by the police for Marijuana use. The news made him take a temporary halt in his activities. After 8 months, the two finally appeared on stage in front of the Japanese fans after a long while. "Everyone, I apologize for making you worry. From now on, I'll do my best," GD promised. Daesung on the hand spoke words of thanks, saying, "I realized how important music and the stage are to me."
They carefully chose 10 songs to perform. "It's been a while since the five of us were here in Japan. We hope to sing excitedly together with the fans," SOL (23) said.
Despite being in a period of self-discipline*, the group went on the receive the Worldwide Act Award in the MTV Europe Music Awards. They are the first Asian artists to be honoured with such an award, the interest and attention for the group rising up. Immediately continuing on with their activities in Japan, the group is set to make an appearance on the music program {MUSIC STATION} on January 20. "This year, we're aiming for our own solo dome concert," VI (21) said. "We want to become the world's No.1!" SOL added.
* period of self-discipline = similar to a hiatus, a term used when one needs to be away from the public eye for a moment after getting caught doing something.
