Black Eyed Peas’ Will.I.Am is only one of the top artists who expressed his high praises for the talented South Korean group, 2NE1, who are finally debuting in Japan with the release of their first album, NOLZA. Their debut album is a mix of R&B and HIPHOP, showing a unique variety of music.
Member CL said 『This is the product of 2NE1’s essence and ambitious work』.

Our producer, TEDDY, especially gave it an expressive power, and the vocals were good, giving it an excellent finish. I recommend the song 『 I AM THE BEST』 when driving, 『naega jeil jalnaga』 it makes me want to sing.
CL
The Intro remained in Korean, and some of the PHRASES too, it was our first time to sing in Japanese. We retained some of the original Korean to save nuances.
BOM
I have trouble when recording Japanese and Korean because of my pronunciation, which is a mess.
MINZY
In the UGLY MV, there was fire and explosions. Because we stayed up all night shooting it, we took special care about it looked. In addition, because of DON’T STOP THE MUSIC’s tempo, I sing it when I hope to relieve some tension.
Beginning on September 19th, they will meet 70,000 Japanese fans in their first live concert.
BOM
At first, I really felt pressured, but before we debuted in Japan, BIG BANG’s SOL told me, 『In Japan, just do the same work as you do in Korea. Don’t let is put pressure on your shoulders, but just enjoy it.』 And because of what he told me, my mind was more at ease. I’d want to show 2NE1, without the frills, but just us and our talent.
DARA
2NE1’s motto has always been “Let’s play (T/N: Nolja/nolza).” I wish we could play and jump well in Japan too.
