Bigbang, a worldwide group continuing to grow after experiencing one and a half years of ALIVE WORLD TOUR. Amongst the members there is also someone who shines for his powerful and warmth voice, vocal D-LITE, will be collating J-pop famous songs for his cover album as his solo debut in Japan!

D-LITE: I have always been interested in J-pop since our activities in Korea, so I was really excited when I was given the suggestion to do a cover album. I definitely feel uneasy for using my Japanese to pronounce these words, however after listening many times to the original songs, I have also mastered the difference between the languages.

D-LITE used about two months to choose the 10 songs he is going to cover. This is really the D-LITE style, as he always uses a sincere attitude to face music.

D-LITE: I chose songs based on my gut feeling once I hear the music. For “Singer’s Ballad”, I found it on Youtube by accident, and it is a song that holds deep memories. As I watched Mr.Children san’s Kazutoshi Sakurai and Hideya Suzuki’s cover of that song, I felt really touched. There are also songs recommended by members. MISIA san’s “Missing You Now” was introduced to me by V.I. who were also doing his Japanese activities.

D-LITE has also decided to hold a ONE MAN LIVE in Kobe and Tokyo for the first time. There are ongoing preparations now.

D-LITE: I think live is the most important for every artist. However the details are still a secret (laugh), but it will be a live performance that you won’t regret coming, so please look forward to it!
