Here they talk about their Japanese plans, gives interesting answers regarding YG Family Concert, and tells a funny incident while recording GO AWAY with Teddy! ^^
Enjoy reading!
Q: What do you want to do in Japan in the future?
CL: For our current Japan promotions, we’re doing Japanese versions of our Korean songs. I’d like us to release original Japanese songs in the future.
BOM: If there’s a chance, I think I’d like to try solo activities.
DARA: I want to study Japanes more. I think it would be good if I can be interviewed without the need of an interpreter.
MINZY: I want to practice singing and dancing more, so I can give a better performance.
Q: Tell us your ideal type in men.
CL: If I answer that question truly, it would be very long (laugh). First of all, he has to be masculine (T/N: like manly). And then, also honorable and respectful.
BOM: I want a person who loves only me! Please give me lots of love! (laughs)
DARA: I dream of a beautiful love, like that in a movie. The character Rui in “Boys Over Flowers” who has a princely attitude is my type. I think a person who is romantic is good.
MINZY: I think a person with good values and with great sense is good. It’s icing on the cake already if he has the same hobbies and interests as mine.
Q: Everyone is sophisticated, and you guys are already known as fashion leaders among the youth, please give us some fashion points.
CL: I think the most important thing about fashion is that it’s supposed to fit you. Recently, I’ve been going for simple styles.
BOM: I love short dresses. I also like body-fitting clothes.
DARA: I like dressing comfortably, casual styles. When I dress, it’s not for show. My condition is to have one accent or two. For example, wearing a colorful hat with a muted outfit.
MINZY: I dress according to my mood. Sometimes, I like the boyish style, and sometimes I like to dress cutely.
Q: During the Japan tour, lots of fans copied your fashion, what do you think of the Japanese fans’ fashion sense?
CL: I think that Japanese people are really fashionable. People wear a lot of various styles. Even with their hair and make-up, there are a lot of different styles that they try.
BOM: I think they’re very stylish. I was walking around with these clothes (the same as GO AWAY jacket photoshoot) in Harajuku, but honestly, it felt comfortable and I didn’t feel the need to change because a lot of people were walking around in different styles. Everyone is unique really, and everyone has their own sense of style.
DARA: They aren’t like other people who are concerned about what others think of their style, they’re people who have their personal style and owns it. I think I should be getting tips from them.
MINZY: They have a good fashion sense! They have a distinct personality, and it shows in their clothes.
Q: Being new to Japanese, singing a song in it must have been difficult. Please tell us a story about your experiences with the lyrics while recording.
CL: In the lyrics, “Why did I love you? (T/N: Naze ga suki dattan darou)” there was that line. That phrase in Japanese, is similar to Korean (T/N: like the Japanese words have a similar Korean word). “Naze” means “noon” in Korean, “suki” is “ski,” “datta” is “ride,” while “darou” is similar to Dara’s nickname. So it was like “Dara, who is skiing during noon,” and it was so strange that I couldn’t stop laughing during the recording! (laughs)! It upset our producer TEDDY so much!
DARA: Yes, it was really fun, and we couldn’t stop laughing about it, so he said “If you want to laugh, get out of my studio!” he was really angry at that time! (laughs)
Q: You have some more time to spend in Japan, what are the places that you would want to visit in Japan?
CL: I want to quickly show our music video first to everyone, before I go visit.
BOM: I want to go to the hot springs. When I see them in Japanese dramas, the actors and actresses seem so happy when they go there? There’s no open air bath back in Korea, so I want to try!
DARA: When we come to Japan, we barely have any free time, but there was free time after work last night, and I got to go out. It felt really good.
MINZY: I really like Gundams, so I would like to go to Akihabara (T/N: It’s the place where Bandai first opened their first Gundam cafe).
Q: Are you influenced by any Japanese musicisians?
CL: During my childhood, my father who likes rock music, would listen to Japanese rock, so I would always hear it too. I don’t know the artists, but sometimes, when I go on walks in Japan, I can hear the artists singing the same songs on TV.
BOM: There’s a Japanese group, Speed, which I think is very good.
DARA: During my trainee days, there was this movie that I watched called “Song Of The Sun,” and I really liked how Yui-ssi played the guitar when she was singing “Goodbye Days,” so I was inspired to learn the guitar. It’s the song that introduced me to Japanese music.
MINZY: I really like Koda Kumi-ssi. A while ago, I met her in a pop song music program, and at that time, I received a Live DVD, and I was so happy! That night, as soon as I could, I watched the DVD, and I studied her facial expressions and singing techniques, and was so impressed.
Q: “YG Family Concert” is expected to be held in Japan, what would 2NE1 want to show to the fans?
CL: Of course, it’s not just 2NE1, but there’s also Se7en, Gummy, Big Bang, and Psy, who are all fabulous artists, and with such talented personalities, I think we would be able to show a wide range of talents too. In addition, there’s also the process of creating the stage. I think it would really be good, so please anticipate it.
BOM: As it’s called “YG Family,” the whole family would be doing a special show. Nothing is certain for now, but we’d like to perform Big Bang songs. It would also be cool to see if other artists would want to do 2NE1 songs too!
DARA: Since it’s the biggest family concert, I think that the things to watch is the collaboration with the different (YG) artists. It’s not yet decided though who will sing what song, we’re still waiting for what kind of music we will do.
MINZY: Everyone in YG Fasmily have strong personalities as artists, and I think that with all those personalities combined on stage, it would really show strong and different performances. I really want all of you to come for this concert like you did for “NOLZA!”
