[News] Dae Sung’s “I Love You”, an expectation in Japan

Dae Sung (or D-LITE, as he’s known in Japan), member of the great group Big Bang, made his solo debut in Japan at the beginning of the year.

He managed to conquer everone’s heart thanks to his powerful voice with the album “D’scover” and now he’s going to reach an other huge success. The month of July will see his first solo Japanese single, “I Love You“, which is a remake of the legendary singer Ozaki Yutaka’ song.

The short version of the song was realead in the first half of the month and shows the collaboration with the renowed Japanese violinist Hakase Taro. This song is important and probably unforgettable for Dae Sung because he did his very first kissing scene and after filming he said that he was too nervous to remember anything.

On July 18th the singer has also attended the first airing ceremony for UULA drama “I LOVE YOU” in Japan, giving the audience an enjoyable performance and demonstration of his singing hability, receiving also high praises from Japanese female actors for his surprise live performance. This is not a fortunate coincidence, in fact, “I Love You” will also be used as the theme song for the drama. 

During the whole month different versions of the song were realeased, creating a great expectation for the single, which will be released on July 31st. A part of the title track “I Love You” and its instrumental version, it will contain three bonus tracks: the incredible “Wings”, “Try Smiling” and “A Big Hit~ Look at Me, Gwisun”.

Meanwhile, Taeyang (known to Japanese fans as SOL) had been busy with another solo project in Japan: filming his first solo CF for Japanese Street Dance Association (JSDA). As reported here previously, Taeyang was chosen to be the visual artist of the CF, which in turn was filmed with an impressive high-speed motion control shooting technique. Indeed, the camera manages to capture the singer’s movements remarkably, using captivating angles and occasional slow motion to create a strong impact. With an entirely black and white concept, nothing distracts from Taeyang’s smooth dance moves, which once again ascertain the singer’s rightful reputation as one of the best dancers in Kpop. Check out the CF here:


Big Bang’s popularity in Japan seems to know no boundaries. In fact, besides the members’ individual activities, the group is also currently planning a six-dome tour in Japan, which is to commence in November.
