Big Bang (another name: 1st Japanese Album) is the second studio Japanese album by South Korean boy band, Big Bang and was released on August 19, 2009.[1][2]

Production

Production of the album started from the release of the group's first Japanese single, My Heaven[3] on June 2009.[4] The song enjoyed mild success, afterwards, the group's second single was released, ガラガラ GO!![5][6] (Gara Gara Go!!), and approximately a month later, the single sold over 30,000 copies.[4] Big Bang then finished recording the album by the end of July. The song Love Club, though, is the only track in pure English language.
