─You say that this major debut single MY HEAVEN was a favored song in Korea.
GD: It was part of an album that we released in Korea. In Korea, it has the title “Heaven,” and this song received love from everyone outside of the title song. When we were thinking at the time of our Japanese major debut, what song would stimulate everyone’s hearts, we thought of this song. It has emotion, it was touching, and a melodious song, so we thought Japanese people might like it for sure. The Korean “Heaven” has lyrics that are bright. However, Japan’s “My Heaven” was made to have lyrics that were touching and sad, so it’s different in that way too.

─This song was arranged by G-DRAGON, what did you have in mind as the point?
GD: I put the most effort in putting in a melody that fit well with the track. Also, I thought having the song and melody together, not separate, was important as well

─Thoughts about EMOTION』?
V.I: We thought that was a club sound. Something that would work on the floor. At any rate, I think it’s a song that when you listen to it, you get attracted to it by the beat or the sound.

─The lyrics, quite sexy, it’s a song that shows the inside of the mind with feeling.
TOP: Look, we’re sexy (laugh). Since we’re cool (laugh).

──Out of the 5 members, who fits the best with this song’s lyrics?
SOL: (In a joking manner) It’s V.I.(laugh)
VI: Kekeke (bitter smile)

──Does that mean that the most handsome is V.I. (Laugh)
TOP: Because he’s cool.
GD: (In Japanese) “Precisely” (Laugh).

VIEW: G-DRAGON from SOL

Q: What’s G-DRAGON’s role in the group?
●The group’s leader. Someone who commands people, especially V.I. In other words, a necessity for V.I. to grow properly.

VIEW: V.I from G-DRAGON
Q: G-DRAGON, what do you think of V.I.?
●Something like a cute dongsaeng. However, when I’m near him, I get tired because there’s too many things to pay attention to. (laugh)
Q: What’s attractive about V.I.’s “voice”?
●To the point where you would think, “Did he change his voice?” I think he’s showing a voice to that of a boy.
Q: What’s V.I.’s role in the group?
●In charge of being the maknae. Someone who gives you energy. He takes it even when I tease him a lot (laugh).

─Tell us your secret!

V To tell the truth, lately my bowels have been very weak…. (all laugh). This is a big problem!

─What about G-DRAGON?
V He’s really keen about the mood, so he knows right away when you did something wrong. The reason my stomach hurts is probably G-DRAGON’s fault. (laugh)
G I always treat you very nicely!!

Q: you guys cook?

G-Dragon: I eat breakfast every morning, Thanks to VI/Seungri who burns the toast……(laughs) No, no, it was delicious!
