As expressed earlier, Big Bang concluded promotions for their repackaged album on today’s episode of Inkigayo with their final performance of ‘Love Song‘ on the show.
“Love Song” was one of two title tracks for their repackaged album, and were co-produced by G-Dragon and Teddy. It delivered a catchy, electronic rhythm with a unique modern rock feel and became another trend in the K-pop industry as it charted at the top of various music ranking charts after release.
Due to Big Bang’s impending Japanese tour scheduled for May through June, YG Entertainment had earmarked a short promotional period which ended this weekend.
With it being their final final stage, Big Bang had a 5 minute goodbye stage where they performed “Love Song” and a special “Intro” track composed by leader G-Dragon. G-Dragon revealed earlier that he had strung together solo tracks from the members into one short medley.
CNBLUE performs ‘Love Girl’ on Inkigayo
Having achieved great success with their recent album “First Step“, the CNBLUE boys have returned with a special performance of “Love Girl” for this week’s episode of “Inkigayo“!
“Love Girl” in particular was re-arranged as an acoustic version, different from the original included in “First Step”. The song flawlessly managed to carry the same bright and upbeat rhythm into a smooth finish that only an acoustic cover can give.
FNC Music stated, “Since the boys have received so much love to the point of earning double and triple crowns, we have decided to produce a new album as a way of saying thanks to our fans. With three tracks that were originally only released in Japan and plenty of photos of the members, we hope that it will become a great present for our fans.”
So check out their “Love Girl” stage on Inkigayo below.
