Big Bang Alive Tour Concert Recall Me to My Earlier Dreams

Big Bang Alive Tour Concert in Jakarta sold out just only one hours. VIP who didn't get the ticket asked the promoter, Big Daddy, to add the concert for 2 days.
In twitter, they made an hashtag #BIGBANGALIVETOURINASECONDSHOW (Big Bang Alive Tour Indonesia Second Show). As expected, the hashtag is become one of a worldwide trends. So, how's Big Daddy's respond ?"We didn't have any plan. We will do a survey from this, how many people didn't have a chance to got the ticket," said Michael Rusli, President Director of Big Daddy when contacted by phone on Saturday (9/6/2012)
Michael said that Big Daddy haven't discuss anything about adding the show's day to 2 days with YG-Entertaitment Agency."Jakarta is the first city that announce the tickets prices and sales. So, they still monitoring the situation. Until now, no announcement that the concert will be held on 2 days," he said.
The "War" between VIP's (Big Bang Fans) must be ended. It is because, the Big Bang Alive Tour Concert's tickets on 13th October were sold out.Buying tickets opened in 10 PM, on Saturday (9/6/12) via 2 websites tiket.com and myticket.co.id. Within 10 minutes, quota of the tickets were out of stock in tiket.com, however another website, myticket.co.id encounter so much visitors and causes the website server down, then the website delay the tickets selling until 2AM.
"Before 4AM, the tickets have been sold out. About 10 minutes in the morning, and after restarting on 2AM. All tickets have been sold out within 1 hour," said Michael.
So, tickets selling for tomorrow will not be opened. And so for offline selling in all official ticket outlet of MyTicket which was planned will be opened in 11th June."Tomorrow and offline selling will not be opened. All sold out." said him.

SO......


This is what i want talking about.


I have to join "VIP's Indo Wars" this day, to be the first or nothing.
The first to get the ticket, or nothing will you get than a dissapointing moment in your life. Hahah, for VIP's, this is the great one and must be get it for just once. Something more i mean here is, dream.


So, what happen to me? I'll explain from the beginning i've entered this "war" (what a war??? I'm not kidding, it's true... -__-").


Wake up before the sunrise, i've got to check the laptop that have been in front of my head when i fall a sleep, and it still turned on when i'm awake. Someone maybe will said like, "what are you waiting for?",or "what do you do? hard work?". Yea, for da truth, i'm waiting for Big Bang's tickets. And everybody who don't know Big Bang they will said "I'm crazy.", even my mom herself said "That thing is not necessary". (Mom's always like that, kekeke~)


8PM, 2 hours before the official tickets order is opened. All of my mind just stay around my laptop, waiting another announcement from the official promoter. And so it does, i've understand everything and ready to go "war". I think everything will go smoothly as a day before when i contacting my friend, and success to confirm any requirements, like find who will gonna borrowed their CC, complete a transfer, calling a backup from my friends for tomorrow buying tickets, etc.


10PM. The "war" is start. I've browse mytickedid site but... WHA---T? #Server Down# #Internet Database# etc were happened. So, in a few minutes i decided to buy from tiket.com, but but HOW i go there and order the tickets??? I didn't register yet !!! When i refresh the page, some class were SOLD OUT !!! OH NOOO~!!!!
I try to order without register, and i got 4 ticket for order. Something shocked stay in the top center of the website when i go to my cart. "This order will be expired within 15 minutes". So i quickly continue for ordering and........my internet connection to the website crash. After refreshing every minutes and go back to the order page, i'm just receiving a message that killed me for some minutes "your order has expired".


11PM I got news from ma friend that told me she has booking 4 tikets and she still confused to buy it or leave it cause we have planned to buy 10 tickets (with the same class, and for receiving the promo tiket, buy 10 get 12). I was not easy cause the promoter announce the website will be opened again in 1AM.


12PM The promoter then decided to open the next "war" show in 2AM, which in this case, the 4 tickets that my friend already booking will be expired (cause it will be expired from 3 hours after ordered). So we decided to save our ticket and pay it to the nearest bank.


1AM I was chat with my besties who didn't got the ticket yet, she said "you can go, i'll not go, the tickets is officially yours". I just promised her that i wouldn't like to watch Big Bang without my besties, i will not have so much pleasure to enjoy the concert. So, i decide to still waiting for the upcoming tickets batch that will opened soon in 2AM.


2AM The Second "War" starting. But in this situation now i have so much backup from my sister and another besties too. I was sure to hit the button and get the four tickets. But...... what da hell? Me and some my besties can't got the ticket order. Then my sister (online on another computer) called me and said she got the ticket, so i go as the procedure written on the website, but what? Out of connection again. (SO MUCH VIP ENTERING THE SITE HUH?). And as usual, the order have expired!!!!! Suddenly, my besties who didn't get the tickets before PING me in her Blackberry and told that she has got the ticket, and she just have to transfer it !!!! And i'm so happy.


3AM Me and my besties still confused is it right that we just transferred it? After ask to my friend before who "saving" another 4 tickets, i've decided to manage the process myself, cause my besties not so understand about the process.


4AM I go to the local ATM Bank, and force myself (who since 10 years ago not ride motorcycle until now). Yea, this is the first time after i got drive license for motorcycle and NEVER used it. So with all i can, i go to the nearest ATM. Even after i arrived in ATM, i still can't understand how to transfer the money (cause since i opened the Debit Card, i've never used it in ATM, i'd rather used online banking). A liitle bit confused, make me insert the card twice, cause i was wrong to choose the right menu for transfer. But as it goes, i can find where i must put the transfer to, and double check the receiver's account.


5AM So i and my friends have confirmed the tickets, but something goes wrong. It didn't have any link to download the voucher for the ticket. Sooooo? What happened here ????? Then i try to called the costumer service and fortunately they hold on their call and answer me. I told everything and the CS just answer me, "You just need to confirm your transactions's script to our email". And after we send them that, they send our voucher.


And, we officially got the voucher which will be redeem on the real ticket when the event goes. So, fantastic baby.


Who is Indonesian VIP who got the ticket ??? We will meet each other then as one, as VIP~!


If someone asked, "why are you have too much hoping for the Big Bang tickets??"
Just remember of biggest musicians in South Korea some years ago that i can't even watch their concert cause they never come to our country. And now they were separated each other,just creating another group. I was really sad then and decided to never ever like South Korean Music. But Big Bang's new album "Alive" recall me again to go to the same feeling i have for the earlier boyband. Now i like them, and become their fans, and when i heard they will concert in my country, i will never let anybody else to cancel me to go to the concert. That's it.
---------


Maybe from this situation happened, i can got something that i can learn from buying tickets in "hurry". There's a tips that might help you to buy concert tickets :


1. Prepare everything !
 You don't want to lose everysecond of the process, don't ya? So prepare everything before the online buy is starting (if you have to register, be the quickly one to register the account first)


2. Going Earlier and Stay Tuned!
 Especially stay tuned with your promoter's announcement before the online buy start, to know step by step everything you didn't know when buying online tickets. And don't forget to be the earlier one to be stay tuned.


3. Do refresh and open new tab everytime.
 This one is really used when the website of buying tickets is have a button which is will showed up after a time countdown to zero. Refresh and open new tab is very helpfull


4. Make Backup
 4 or 5 people backup you for booking ticket, is it right? Yea it is. Moreover, if the promoter provide more than one website. it's really needed.


5. Keep Calm and Think Positive
 If you think this last tip is not necessary, you're wrong buddy. If you can't calm, you'll hit the wrong button when ordering, and must be remember, ordering online tickets of famous artist is like a "War in a Second", You fail you'll lose the ticket. And one thing is, keep to think positive, just think for the worst if you can't get the ticket, "i can watch it next year", so it will always refresh your mind and prevent you from stressed to much.

Missing Blackberry Messenger Icon Tour 9630 : Solution?

Two days ago, i've decided to upgrade my blackberry messenger to version 6.2.0.44, but it was unsuccessfully installed, the syste has abort it. I found it still OK cause nothing happened with my blackberry messenger.

One day after that, i found THE ICON WAS MISSING. I try to solve for some solution like : "Show all hidden application in every folder i have", "Reboot device -> restart blackberry by removing the battery", "change blackberry theme to default theme", etc, but nothing can resolve the icon to be appeared again. Something i didn't want to do is "wipe my blackberry" cause it don't do anything to resolve the problem. When i search "blackberry messenger app" on the application settings, i've found it nowhere on the list.
#shockedonsecond（　ﾟ Дﾟ） (When i decided to uninstall it????? NEVER !!)

So, i go to blackberry site and try to install again the blackberry messenger, but it appeared like this..

I don't even find the download button and surprisingly the application was installed !!! (I've never installed it before, cause it always aborted. And now it was nowhere on application list T.T)

I try to search about the compability of this application with my blackberry, cause some people said the icon will be dissapeared if you don't have the compability OS.
I've check my OS (clicking on Options->about) and found my version was OS 5, then check to Blackberry Knowledge Base KB23968 , my blackberry version is supported. But i was dumb to not check the blackberry messenger page and found this.

"This item is supported for your device"

What conclusion from this ? I think my blackberry messenger was corruptly installed. (cause from the first i've installed it, it always aborted.
Then i was uninstalled the application and  it worked !!! The icon was comeback after i restart my blackberry~! But my blackberry need to be upgrade, it said have been installed before and i was upgrading it. Then the trouble is over ! =]

[TOUCH KOREA TOUR] 3 Things that I Wanna Do in South Korea (3 Hal yang Saya Ingin Lakukan di Korea Selatan)

This time i'll post something about what i want to do in South Korea. Surely a lot to do in this country but i would like to choose 3 things the best, that you MUST DO if you visit South Korea.

(Pada kesempatan ini, saya ingin mem-post-kan sesuatu tentang Korea Selatan. Tentang hal-hal apa saja yang ingin saya kunjungi kalau saya memiliki kesempatan untuk berkunjung kesana. Sebenarnya, banyak sekali hal yang ingin saya lakukan disana, tapi berhubung saya harus memilih 3 hal terbaik, jadi saya akan men-"sortir" 3 terbaik YANG HARUS DILAKUKAN ketika berkunjung ke Korea Selatan.)


1. Hiking, Trekking, and Making Movie (Mendaki, Menelusuri Alam, dan Membuat Video)

South Korea is covered with mountains and much valleys. If you are South Korean and you're a nature seeker, you'll be agree with this statement "Hiking is the most popular outdoor hobby in South Korea". Every big cities in South Korea is actually have some green space on it. This is to make people, who got tired of the traffic, can get away from busy roads and have some experiences "one with nature". But for South Korean, even the green space is still not enough for them to have "one with nature" experience, they need more and they choose to go hiking.

For me, if i have a chance to go to South Korea, the first time i want to do in this country is hiking, trekking, and making movie while i do that two activity. I used to really love to making movie while walk and hike. And for every moment that i get in my country while hiking, i was feel that this outdoor activity is the most wanted one for me. It made me enjoyed life much better because the 'one with nature' experience thing, is the one of the most valuable thing that i get in my life.

(Korea Selatan dikelilingi oleh banyak gunung dan lembah-lembah. Jika Anda adalah warga negara asli Korea Selatan dan penikmat keindahan alam, Anda akan tahu betul bahwa aktivitas outdoor yang paling digemari orang Korea Selatan adalah hiking. Setiap kota-kota besar di Korea Selatan pasti memiliki area hijau untuk warganya yang sudah bosan dengan kesibukan kota setiap harinya. Area tersebut sebenarnya diciptakan untuk orang-orang yang ingin keluar dari rutinitas mereka dan memiliki pengalaman 'menyatu dengan alam'. Walaupun begitu, orang-orang disana merasakan area hijau saja tidak cukup untuk mereka. Jadi, mereka lebih memilih untuk hiking


Jika saya memiliki kesempatan untuk berkunjung ke Korea Selatan, hal pertama yang ingin saya lakukan adalah mendaki gunung (hiking), menelusuri alam (trekking), dan membuat video ketika melakukan kedua hal tersebut. Saya sangat menyukai untuk membuat video, apalagi ketika sedang dalam kegiatan hiking.Di setiap kegiatan hiking yang saya alami saya mendapatkan bermacam-macam pengalaman yang menarik. Hiking memang aktifitas yang saya sangat rindukan, karena aktivitas tersebut membawa saya untuk menikmati hidup lebih jauh untuk menyatu dengan alam.)

Some tourist who have ever visited to South Korea was recommend people to take hiking on Mt.Halla,in Jeju Island. Mt. Halla is the highest mountain in South Korea, people who got hiking here actually will have so much nature experience with it. See the picture? There's a crater lake in the top of the mountain and for me the view is very beautiful~=]

(Beberapa turis yang pernah mengunjungi Korea Selatan sering merekomendasikan tempat hiking di Gunung Halla, yang terdapat di pulau Jeju. Gunung Halla adalah gunung tertinggi di Korea Selatan, tentu saja dengan hal itu para pendaki akan merasakan sensasi alam yang maximal ketika berkunjung kesana. Bisa dilihat pada gambar, pada puncak gunung Halla terdapat sebuah danau yang indah yang tentu saja pemandangannya dapat memanjakan mata para pendaki gunung.)

This is the map of MT.Halla trail, i think i'll choose Seongpanak (성판악) route, it reach to the summit. Doesn't matter with time, i love hiking the most~! =]

(Ini adalah peta dari jalur pendakian di Gunung Halla, mungkin saya akan memilih jalur Seongpanak (성판악) yang mencapai puncak gunung. Selama saya menyukai hiking, tidak akan ada masalah~=])

For nature seeker who just love to take some walk, most of tourist recommend the 'Olle' trails for who loves to trekking. "Olle" Trails located in Jeju island, it consist 20 walking trails along Jeju's coastline, the route is 15 km. Every trails marked by colourfull arrow sign, ribbon, or place marker which called ganse. The trails is spent 5-6 hours on walk and it really promising people to take a great experience on their life. This place must be sure to bring an unforgettable moment if you visited South Korea.


(Untuk penikmat keindahan alam, mungkin anda akan tertarik dengan jalur trekking Olle. Jalur Olle terletak di pulau Jeju, jalur tersebut memiliki 20 jalur yang mengitari pesisir pantai di pulau Jeju. Panjang rute sekitar 15Km, setiap rutenya ditandai dengan papan arah berbetuk panah yang berwarna-warni, pita, atau sebuah penanda jalan yang disebut ganse. Jalur Olle bisa ditempuh kurang lebih 5-6 jam dengan berjalan kaki, dan tentu saja Olle akan menyuguhkan anda pengalaman yang tidak akan terlupakan, jika Anda mengunjungi Korea Selatan.

This is the map route for Olle Trails, along Jeju's coast.
(Ini adalah rute map dari jalur Olle yang mengelilingi pulau Jeju.)

Let's go hiking !

This is the official website of both place, i'll make sure to check it more details of i have a chance to visit South Korea.
(Ini adalah situs resmi dari kedua lokasi tersebut. Mungkin saya akan mencari tahu lebih detail tentang kedua tempat tersebut jika ada kesempatan untuk pergi ke Korea Selatan.)
Mt.Halla Official Website
Olle Trails Official Website

For making video, i'll prepared a lot of batteries and memory card, to still keep along to record my journey. That will be fantastic~!
(Untuk membuat video, saya pasti akan menyiapkan cadangan baterai dan memory card yang sangat banyak agar tetap merekam video selama diperjalanan. Perjalanan ini tentunya akan sangat fantastis~!)



2. Shopping for Branded Make -Up Products (Berbelanja Produk Make-Up ber-merk dengan Harga Murah)

For the fact, South Korean is sure have a good sense of fashion, especially from their make-up. I used to love "Hallyu" wave and love how the Korean Star make-up themselves or even dressed themselves in a good way. Surely as a girl, i'd love to have good make-up equipment for myself. Branded maybe? =]

(Semua orang mungkin tahu jika Korea Selatan mempunyai cita rasa yang tinggi dalam hal fashionnya, khususnya di bidang make-up. Saya sangat menyenangi Hallyu wave dan sangat tertarik melihat aktor/aktris Korea Selatan yang sangat baik dalam hal mendandani diri mereka. Sebagai seorang wanita, saya sangat senang untuk mengoleksi peralatan make-up. Dalam hal ini, mungkin barang ber-merk)

My friend who went to Korea this year have experienced something that, you can find make-up price is very cheap in South Korea rather than you buy in Indonesia. She recommend "Donghwa Duty Free Shop" to me. She said that the shop really sold all "branded" cosmetics in one place like Cartier, Ferragamo, Gucci, Hermes, H.World, Loewe, LV, Parda, Burberry, Coach, Dunhill, etc; with price that not too expensive (she mean it very cheap rather than in Indonesia). She also said that, at this shop you'll also find the latest product of popular cosmetics too. For all of the information i've got from her, the price is 4 times cheaper ! =]

So, since i'd like to buy branded products for fashion care myself. This place is offer the right choices for me.

(Teman saya yang sebelum ini pergi ke Korea Selatan menemukan bahwa harga kosmetik disana sangatlah murah dibandingkan dengan jika anda membelinya di Indonesia. Dia merekomendasikan "Donghwa Duty Free Shop", yang menjual berbagai macam kosmetik ber-merk dengan harga yang sangat miring. Disana Anda akan menemukan Cartier, Ferragamo, Gucci, Hermes, H.World, Loewe, LV, Parda, Burberry, Coach, Dunhill, dll dengan harga yang sangat murah dibandingkan di Indonesia. Pada tempat ini juga Anda akan menemukan produk-produk terbaru. Dari info yang saya dapat, harga kosmetik disini bisa 4 kali lebih murah !


Karena saya sangat menyukai produk ber-merk untuk perawatan diri saya. Tempat ini benar-benar menawarkan pilihan yang terbaik.)



3. Buy Official Music Album = Buy The Design Packaging (Membeli Album Resmi = Membeli Packaging Desain)


South Korean must be thankfull to their musicians to promote the country from music. For sure i didn't spent too much love for their Korean Drama, i'd rather to love their music.
When i have a chance to go there, i will like to spent half of my money there to buy their music. For sure , buy their music is buying their packaging design too.
I was a graphic designer and it's kinda great to know that they love to make packaging design like they make clothes for their actress/actor.

For me in Indonesia, shipping South Korean album here is very expensive. When i check on some official music site, they even cost the shipping one and half price from the album original price, so the album all-cost is twice and a half from the original price ! It's sad.

(Korea Selatan mungkin akan sangat berterimakasih pada para musisi yang telah mempromosikan Korea Selatan ke seluruh dunia. Sebenarnya saya tidak begitu menyukai drama Korea, saya lebih suka musik mereka !
Jika saya punya kesempatan untuk pergi kesana, mungkin saya akan menghabiskan sebagian uang yang saya bawa untuk membeli musik mereka. Tentu saja selain membeli musik, saya pun secara tidak langsung membeli desain packaging mereka.
Sebagai desain grafis, saya sangat kagum terhadap orang-orang Korea Selatan yang membuat desain packaging seperti membuat baju / fashion untuk artis artis mereka.


Untuk saya yang tinggal di Indonesia, Album Korea itu sngat mahal. Ketika saya mencoba untuk membeli pada situs resmi, biaya pengiriman yang dicantumkan satu setangah kali dari harga album yang sebenarnya. Jadi kalau saya beli album dari situs resmi, biayanya bisa mencapai dua setengah kali harga album yang sebenarnya ! Wow, itu sangat mengecewakan.)

Image Credit to : jpopkpopcds on youtube.

I'd love South Korean make album that they treat the album's design like a baby~! Even it JUST a label, some of them have a shiny look and good design. I'll sure some designer who love Korean Pop will be regret to throw it away.
As a good music seeker and designer, it will be great to buy some of their music, especially with the good packaging too~=]

(Saya sangat kagum melihat cara orang Korea Selatan membuat album, mereka benar-benar memperlakukan desain albumnya seperti seorang bayi~! Biarpun HANYA sebuah label, beberapa design yang ada memiliki tampilan yang baik dan menarik, beberapa diantaranya eye-catching dan berkilauan. Tentu saja orang-orang seperti saya ini, seorang deesainer dan pecinta Korean-Pop, ngga akan tega untuk membuang label tersebut.)

This is some list of album that i want to buy in south Korea, some of them have a good packaging design. (Ini adalah beberapa album yang ingin saya beli jika saya pergi ke Korea, beberapa diantaranya punya desain packaging yang bagus) :

* 2PM Hands Up Special Edition
Who want this album ? Put Your Hands Up !
Yup, i really waaaant it~!
The design look luxury, and it was compatible with the high price too. I really want to have it~
(Siapa yang ingin album ini ? Angkat Tanganmu !
Yup, saya mauuuuuu~!
Desainnya terlihat mewah, dan sesuai dengan harganya yang mahal. Saya benar-benar ingin memilikinya~)

* Big Bang Tonight Special Edition
Hmm something special here is (except the song), you can see on the second picture. That's it~! If I make it for myself, it will be so expensive here in Indonesia.
(Hmm, satu-satunya yang spesial disini adalah (selain lagunya), dapat dilihat pada gambar kedua. Jika saya buat sendiri di Indonesia, pasti harganya akan sangat mahal.)

* G-Dragon Heartbreaker Special Edition
You must know why i want to buy this album. Yup! Look at the Design~!
(Anda pasti tahu kenapa saya ingin sekali membeli album ini. Yup! Lihat saja desainnya~!)

There's still so many Korean Album which i think the music, packaging design, and the graphic design look good. Look for some picture below~=]

Big Bang and their 5th Album "Alive" on My Review

I'm not a huge fans of Big Bang (not totally a trully VIP), but everytime they release a new album i always got interested to listening what song will come to catch my interest.

First i saw them with Haru Haru 하루하루 or called Day by Day (i think this song was trully blew up their popularity overseas as a Korean Boyband). I saw it because my cousin was forced me by showing their MV clip video in front of my eyes. And..... DAMN her ! I love the beat ! I like this song !
The first time i saw them, i didn't like the members, i just like the song. At that time (2008) i just got interested with DBSK's member.

On November 2008, I watched MKMF and were startled with Big Bang again (for the second time). It was amazing that they have beat DBSK in some nomination (Best Male Group and Artist of The Year, if i'm not wrong).
I started to find, their profile and their song. Then i become interested with "Lies".

Just go directly to 2011 (to cut all my stories around 2008 until 2011). I love when they release "Tonight", the music is so catchy with the strong beat ! Then the song officially become my morning alarm. I hope the strong beat of it will wake me up in the morning. But for sure, i never wake up.

Move forward to 2012. After "Tonight" in 2011, now they were comeback again with their 5th mini album "Alive" this year. I really didn't know about it, but at that time i've got some news from some people (included my sister), that they will released it on 29th Feb. Wow, released in unique date, their song must be interesting. And so, it does...

REVIEW

So let's started our blah..blah..blah... = b

1. Alive (Intro)
First time i heard, i have no focus on it. The song is like babbling into my head (I think i was sleepy at that time). But for the second and the third time i've heard it, the song was really made you "alive". It shows like you have lost your desire or you almost give up on something;  but then you get you spirit again, become tough and strong, and ready to take any responsibilities and beat them out. After that your heart will screaming "I'm still alive".

2.Blue
First song that catch my interest in this album was "Blue". It was unexpected that it feels different than any other Big Bang music i've ever heard. I got to replay it times and got addicted to it. What this song give to you is so soothing, there's a feel of someone's lonely, broken heart, emptyness, missing, but the feel was peacefull inside. Starting with smooth soft piano sound then followed by accoustic guitar, it seems not like an ordinary Big Bang's song here, but when the up-beat come on the chorus, it giving a catchy appearance of this song and confidently release who behind this. "Hey, it's Big Bang !" , then you'll happy to continue listening to it. The song itself i think, really "The true blue (loyalty of love)".

3.Love Dust (사랑먼지)
Love dust seems to be like happy ending song from a movie, but the lyrics is not was you're expected. The lyrics itself talks about break up and love remains, how times passed so quickly. But with pop-rock genre, this music is actually catchy to hear. Althrough it should be melancholic, but the upbeat is happy. This song seems like to show "You have to leave all sad things on your past, go forward and catch the better future"

4.Bad Boy
This song now stands on my favorite list. After blue, Big Bang is giving more R&B slow song but in different beat. This song have slower beat than blue, more melting sounds, and a little jazzy inside. It's was retro and nostalgic. The beat wants to make your head nod and follow the rhythms. The song looks like calling you to remember about something wrong that you've did in the past and make you feel regreted about it, you feel so sorry. The song itself seems talks "Even you're leaving, i still care about you. I hope you don't forget about me, about us. Maybe we reunite again someday?"

5.Ain't No Fun (재미없어)
If i have a chance to make movie from this Big Bang album, i'll choose this song for the ending part of the movie, where the name of all cast and staff appeared. Why i was thinking like that? For the song itself, it was talked to represent or, it's a signature of G-Dragon's song (i read on soompi). Oh yes it is, as G-Dragon started this song with his rap well (look like he's singing,but he's not), what i got here -> he seems to rap look like a tired person. The lyric itself talks about the guy who have been tired of all things from his girlfriend. Just to made this simple, what this song wanna say is, "Just end here, i'm tired"<- This is why i choose it as ending song, kekeke~= b

6.Fantastic Baby
This song is trully Big Bang soul. Strong beat and fast-paced electropop tune bring you want to dance on the floor. For the truth, first time i've heard it i don't really like it. But when my sister repeat it times with a damn huge stereo bass in our rooms, i started to addicted to 'Boomshakalaka" thing. Actually, this song is "bring you to the dance floor". When talked about films, i was thinking to use this song for action or scientific act, or something robotic? Ah, something i wanna make with my machinima project.

7.Wings (날개)_DaeSung (대성) SOLO
This song is the last song to be appeared in this album. It sounds cheering for the past and seems to be happy to remember back the times passed. It was personal, not just about Dae Sung who is the only one to sing this song, but it also have a personal feelings on it. The song reflect a happy feeling in the morning. It's like "When you're wake up, get outside and looking at the sky, you feel blessed about good times happened in the past."

My impression for this album :
This is a great combination of pop-dance-R&B-ballad-rock-jazz-hiphop-all things. It was a great album. At least, if you like some combination of song's genre, you should have to listening it. I never so addicted to Korean song, and heard it about 100times since DBSK, but now i realize that another group band who rises and come along with their successfull work have made a great artwork here on music. It's Big Bang yo ! And i recommend y'all to hear all of this song, for not just once !

Big Bang is...
