K-Pop group BIG BANG’s Taeyang and T.O.P will release a solo album respectively in March of next year.

Major media outlets in Japan paid keen attention to the news of their solo albums coming out, reporting the news under the title of “BIG BANG member Sol (Taeyang’s Japanese name)’s Solo Debut in Japan & T.O.P’s Package Release”.

So far, BIG BANG members have released solo albums one by one. Daesung, Sseungri, and G-Dragon who have all recently released solo albums, have all recorded success in Japan. Taeyang, the fourth member among BIG BANG, will release his first solo album in Japan on March 14th, next year.

In his first solo album, a Japanese version of “RINGA LINGA” will be included. “RINGA LINGA” is a unique song where a variety of genres such as dubstep and electro are mixed based on a trap bass. It had attracted keen attention even before release, as G-DRagon was known to have taken part in the production.

On the same day, T.O.P will also release a special album. “DOOM DADA”, his recent release in Korea and four other solo songs that have been disclosed so far, as well as “DOOM DADA”s music video will be put into the album.
