Big Bang is set to perform at Japan's popular music program Music Station this Friday, February 5. The group also set a record for being the first K-pop band to reach 200 milion views on YouTube for "Fantastic Baby."
It has been three years since Big Bang fans saw G-Dragon, T.O.P, Seungri, Taeyang and Daesung when they last performed in Music Station. This time around, the group will perform Japanese versions of their hit singles, "Loser," "If You," and "Bang Bang Bang" all from their new album "MADE."
Early this week, Big Bang released the Japanese version of their album "MADE." Apart from the 11 tracks, the album also includes a Japanese music video for "Loser" and "Bang Bang Bang," as well as a special video documentary showing their performance at the Yanma Stadium in Nagai back in August.
According to Kpopstarz, the boys of Big Bang are definitely going to be busy touring all around Japan for their "Made in Japan" 2016 world tour. Their first stop will be in Fukuoka where they will be staying until February 7. It will be followed up by two concerts held in Tokyo from February 23-24.
In other news, Big Bang also recently broke records by being the first K-pop group to ever reach 200 million views on YouTube.
Four years since they released the music video for "Fantastic Baby," it got over 202 million views and counting. According to Yibada, Big Bang is also the first K-pop boy group to get over 100 million views on two separate views. Several K-pop singers, including Super Junior, Girls' Generation, 2NE1 and Hyuna also reached the 100 million views mark soon after.
What sets Big Bang's "Fantastic Baby" apart is its fun choreography. The song has also been a staple in several dance competitions and variety/noontime shows, including Philippines' "Eat Bulaga."
Popular Kalyeserye loveteam Maine "Yaya Dub" Mendoza and Alden Richards were often seen dancing to the hit Big Bang tune, which definitely added to its popularity.
The boyband, however, has yet to defeat PSY's record of 2.5 billion views for "Gangam Style." The South Korean singer-songwriter currently holds the title for the Most Viewed Video in YouTube history. Check out PSY's video below:
