Big Bang says goodbye with a big bang on Inkigayo
As expressed earlier, Big Bang concluded promotions for their repackaged album on today’s episode of Inkigayo with their final performance of ‘Love Song‘ on the show.
“Love Song” was one of two title tracks for their repackaged album, and were co-produced by G-Dragon and Teddy. It delivered a catchy, electronic rhythm with a unique modern rock feel and became another trend in the K-pop industry as it charted at the top of various music ranking charts after release.
Due to Big Bang’s impending Japanese tour scheduled for May through June, YG Entertainment had earmarked a short promotional period which ended this weekend.
With it being their final final stage, Big Bang had a 5 minute goodbye stage where they performed “Love Song” and a special “Intro” track composed by leader G-Dragon. G-Dragon revealed earlier that he had strung together solo tracks from the members into one short medley.

CNBLUE performs ‘Love Girl’ on Inkigayo
Having achieved great success with their recent album “First Step“, the CNBLUE boys have returned with a special performance of “Love Girl” for this week’s episode of “Inkigayo“!
“Love Girl” in particular was re-arranged as an acoustic version, different from the original included in “First Step”. The song flawlessly managed to carry the same bright and upbeat rhythm into a smooth finish that only an acoustic cover can give.
FNC Music stated, “Since the boys have received so much love to the point of earning double and triple crowns, we have decided to produce a new album as a way of saying thanks to our fans. With three tracks that were originally only released in Japan and plenty of photos of the members, we hope that it will become a great present for our fans.”

After School makes a comeback with ‘Shampoo’ on Inkigayo
After a long hiatus, the After School girls are back on SBS’s Inkigayo with a brand new round of promotions after releasing their first album, “Virgin” earlier this week.
Decked out with a lovelier and more feminine concept, the girls have filled the album to the brim with songs that hold motivating themes like confidence and individuality. It’s been a long year since their last “Bang!” release, so the girls have set out to make this comeback particularly special.
In an interview with Sports Today, After School stated, “Because of a chain of events last year, we weren’t able to promote as a group. We’ve missed the stage that much more, and we’d like to emphasize that we’re promoting as a group now. It’s so fun and we love it.”
When asked about their tap dance routine, they replied, “It’s the result of five months of practice. Because of our personal schedules, we didn’t have a lot of time to practice but we truly tried our best. With our ‘Bang!’ promotions, we were always injuring our fingers. This time it’s our toes.”
The girls concluded, “We’ve been promoting individually until finally getting back together in nearly a year. Because of that, we’ll be giving our best on stage. Please give us your support, as we’ll be promoting for as long as possible.”
Their title track, “Shampoo”, was written by poet Won Tae Yeon (of Secret Garden’s “That Man“) and composed by Japanese producer, Daishi Dance.
With a subtle piano melody and an emphasis on the emotions behind the lyrics, the song seamlessly weaves in and out of After School’s beautiful vocals and powerful rapping.

Eru makes his comeback on Inkigayo
Singer Eru is back on the comeback trail with his new mini album, “Feel Brand New“, and began promotions on today’s episode of SBS’s Inkigayo.
Eru is making an effort to show the transformation from his former “Eru-style ballads” through his first title track of 2011, “Countrified and Immature“. This song is a collaborative effort between hit-maker Kim Do Hoon and composer PJ, which has a lyrical main melody arranged with elements of hip-hop. This new distinctive song will show a new emotion of ballads.
Also, in the beginning, the arrangement of strings and piano has upgraded both the composition and feeling for the song. The lyrics of “Countrified and Immature” were written by hit-producer Choi Gab Won and emphasize the unique and plain-spoken charm of men.
“Countrified and Immature” starts with a melody that will stick to your lips even after one listen.
The lyrics which speak of the search for love by a man and his nervous and bitter feelings upgrade the song yet another level. You can sense beauty and lyricism in the addictive chorus and the heart-moving orchestral tune. Check out his comeback stage below!
