  • Taeyang Talks about His Friendship with G-Dragon

Taeyang of Big Bang, who recently started his solo activities, has expressed freely on his feelings towards G-Dragon.

Through his interview with Newsen on the 7th, he thanked G-Dragon for featuring on his solo album.

YB：“I’m greatful that Jiyong (G-Dragon’s real name) participated in this album. There is a lot to say about ‘I Need A Girl’, but it’s one of those songs that only G-Dragon can be featured in. Jiyong is my best friend and we talk about private matters a lot. ‘I Need A Girl’ is a song which is about a guy talking about love to his friend, so G-Dragon would naturally be the best option to collaborate with. He knows me more than anyone else and I felt that he was the best featuring rapper. So I asked him, and he did the best rap possible.”

The friendship between G-Dragon and Taeyang is well-known amongst fans. G-Dragon especially has praised Taeyang a lot, garnering attention.

In regards to this, Taeyang responded:

YB:“I’m really happy that Jiyong looks at me in that light. He’s a friend who I’ve been with for almost 10 years, and we gain a lot from each other. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be this person today. He made me want to try harder in what I do. We have qualities which the other doesn’t have. This can be irritating at times, though it helps most of the time. I think we were a match made in heaven.”
Upon being asked about his feelings on G-Dragon as a singer, he replied:

YB：“Even if I eliminate my personal feelings towards him on this judgement, he is still a good musician. There aren’t many people who can rap like him, and his musical abilities are amazing. However, he becomes an issue no matter what he does, so there is a lot of gossip about him. I feel sorry for him as a friend as he is sometimes treated in a deregatory fashion.”

Taeyang has recently released ‘I Need A Girl’ and started promotions. It has gained attention due to G-Dragon’s featuring.

ジヨンくんがヨンベは俺の太陽なの＞＜って言ってるのはよく聞くけどヨンベくんがここまでデレてる記事は初めて読んだかもしれんｗ俺たちは運命とか言ってるよｗこの二人の”今の自分があるのは彼がいたから”という言葉が大好き。兄弟でも恋人でもそんな風に思い合えるなんて奇跡に近いのに。
ただ人間として、とはまた別にヨンベくんはジヨンくんの音楽ルーツにはあまり興味ないと思っていたのでｗ、すでに上がっていたI　Needにラップをお願いしたっていうのが意外だった。優しいメロディーに可愛らしい歌詞に甘い歌声にハイトーンラップっていうのが、私はあんまりに綺麗にまとまり過ぎているように思ったんだけど、ヨンベくんはこういう優しくて綺麗な恋がしたいのかなあって思ったらこの曲大好きになりました。*1テディさんやタプさんじゃこんなに透明感は出ないもんねｗ歌詞に描かれてる理想の女の子よりも、この曲そのものにヨンベくんが求めた世界観の方がずっと柔らかくて優しい。なのにどうしてステージがとんちきミュージカルなのか教えてヨンベくんｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗI　Needステージ見るといくらお隣とは言え海は確実に国を隔てているんだなと思い知らされます・・・しつこいけどブルマ本気で無理ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ
いつもよりも少し控えめで、はにかんだようなジヨンくんのラップも好きだなあ。

*1:それなのにTake It Slowがアレなのは今は考えない方向で＾＾私の中でヨンベくんDT説は崩れ去った＾＾＾＾
