YG Entertainment told Star News on Feb 10, “The backbone of BIGBANG’s new album is being shaped and since February all the members have been coming into the office to work on the album.”

They said, “Despite their busy overseas schedule, BIGBANG is putting much effort in the album. They have been working on songs for a while so their new album is becoming more likely to be released earlier than expected.”

When BIGBANG finished their BIGBANG JAPAN DOME TOUR 2014-2015 ‘X’ at Osaka Kyocera Dome on Jan 18, Japan’s Sankei Sports and other media reported that “BIGBANG decided to release their first album in 3 years this summer,” and added, “GD said in a press conference prior to the concert that BIGBANG is looking forward to spending a summer where they can provide songs to fans to which they can sing and dance.” Sankei Sports also wrote, “50,000 fans were electrified when GD told them that he promises to come back with good songs.” Sankei once again emphasized that BIGBANG will be coming back with their first album in 3 years since 2012, titled “ALIVE.”

YG’s high-ranking official commented that the preparation for the new album is going very well, and fans are excited as it connotes they will be able to see the album before summer comes.

They added, “YG prioritizes the release of BIGBANG’s album. We know very well that fans have been waiting patiently for the album.”

They also commented, “The outcome is of real quality,” heightening the fans expectations even more.

All eyes are on YG’s five members to see what kind of music they will bring into the industry for the first time in 3 years.

Meanwhile, BIGBANG was in Japan across 5 cities to perform 15 times, joined by 741,000 fans for the BIGBANG JAPAN DOME TOUR 2014-2015 ‘X’.
