[edit] Production

Production of the album started from the release of the group's first Japanese single, My Heaven[3] on June 2009.[4] The song enjoyed mild success, after wards, the group's second single was released, ガラガラ GO!![5][6] (Gara Gara Go!!), and approximately a month later, the single sold over 30,000 copies.[4] Big Bang then finished recording the album by the end of July. The song Love Club, though, is the only track in pure English language.

[edit] Chart performance

"Big Bang" debuted on the daily Oricon charts at number 2[1] with over 12,000 copies being sold on the first day.[7] The album went on to chart at number 3 on the weekly Oricon charts.[1]
