Interviewer: What is BIGBANG to you?
Taeyang: I got the same question before. My answer will always be
the same. Big Bang is a tree and I’m just a branch. When we are
together as five, we make a big tree which has many leaves and fruits.
Interviewer: You guys had a hard time last year.
Taeyang: Last year was a new beginning to us. I heard that many
groups have their hard times after 5 years, last year was ours. For us,
it was not because of an argument but something from the outside. On the
other hand, I’m thankful. It gave us a chance of making us live longer
and stronger.
Interviewer: What makes Big Bang one?
Taeyang: Music. Our characters are so different. It gives the
team a fatal blow because each has a very strong personality. However,
we all like music, performing on the stage, dancing and singing
together. We don’t argue whatever comes to us. We are always doing music
happily and that makes us one.
Interviewer: You guys are the focus of attention but attention can be changed to indifference.
Taeyang: It is true that people’s interest and love make us work
harder but even if the circumstances change, we want to do music
together. I really love being on the stage. I want to tell you to just
watch us grow up, especially this year. Love our music once again. I
don’t mean that buy our albums but rather watch our development, our
growth.
Interviewer: Six songs are all titles.
Taeyang: Yes. When we listened to our songs, it was very hard to
choose just one title. Each song has a different meaning and shows a
clear distinction. All songs are too good to miss. So we chose all 6
titles to show you.
Interviewer: I heard that ALIVE album is colorful.
Taeyang: Yes. Every song has its own color.
Interviewer: Tell me about the first title song, BLUE.
Taeyang: BLUE is really lyrical and sensitive. It is different
from other songs that we’ve released before. It’s fresher than others.
The lyrics are about emptiness and loneliness after breaking up. When we
and the producers heard BLUE in the studio, we felt that BLUE is not
attractive. However, when our friends heard the song, they said that
it’s a touching music.
