Rise Tour in Fukuoka (140823-24)

Thanks so much to @MShinju for the fanaccounts!

Day 1

YB was really energetic today in Fukuoka. He danced very passionately, using the elevations on stage (where the band members are standing)

In the Q&A corner, he answered the typical “if I don’t ask this I’ll die on my way home”-questions.

First was a girl in 3rd row left side.

Many thanks to the uploader!

LOL – It’s Guerilla Date with Animals! (And a particularly flirty llama…) We were going to wait till this was subbed to post, but finally figured not to wait to share this since it can be appreciated all on its own (as many have already seen for themselves.)  This is probably my favorite on camera interview of his – he looks so happy and comfortable. There’s just no end to the cuteness of this Rise promo…

Taeyang kicks of Rise Tour in Osaka (140812-13)

It’s been a momentous week for Taeyang as the Japan version of Rise was successfully launched on the market and “SOL Japan Tour: Rise 2014” got off to a rockingly fun start at the Grand Cube Osaka.

TAEYANG
One, Two

Editor: Seo Ok-Seon

Taeyang has released his second solo album . His first full album came out in 2010. The year has changed four times, and love has passed by once.

How have you been?
Lately?

Well, since last time? (Laughs)
Ah… I basically just worked on my album for the past four years.
