So, when I found out that BigBang actually is releasing a Japanese version clip for this song, my heart fluttered. Although I love K-Pop, I usually like the Japanese version of the songs better. Maybe because I am more familiar with the language. I had high anticipation when I watched it. However, I gotta say that this is just one of those songs that is excellent in Korean, but can't easily be sung in Japanese.
The rhymes and the synchronization that I completely worship in the Korean version doesn't quite exist in the Japanese version. TOP and G-Dragon both do a good job with their English at the very beginning, but since the sentence structure and the syllables are so different... it doesn't quite deliver the mesmerizing effect it has in Korean version overflowingly.
I wouldn't say I'm disappointed in the Japanese version, of course. But I do wish it could've somehow been transformed better. All in all, I'm still in love with this song! But I probably will stick to listening to the Korean version for this one, haha.
