Big Bang Epic Pimp Post : The Group (part 2)

Music Videos




If you ever wanted to see every single one of Big Bang's music videos all in one place, well this is it! I love music videos, they always make me like the song a lot more, since there's visuals to go with it. Of course a MV is only as good as it's song. Luckily Big Bang's songs are amazing, and the videos only add to their awesomeness. My favorite thing about Big Bang's videos is their diversity. They don't stick to one style, instead having all sorts of videos, from dance videos, to plotty videos, to performance videos. Not to say there aren't themes that carry over from video to video (those are fun to see when you watch the videos enough to recognize them ;P ). Anyway, I hope you enjoy them nearly as much as I do!
(This is a pretty complete collection, but it's always possible I forgot something somewhere)


"We Belong Together" was Big Bang's first single, and first music video. It features Park Bom of 2NE1 (who was a trainee at the time). This video is adorable, and is one of my favorites. "We Belong Together" is a song that focuses on GD and TOP, so naturally they have the most screenplay in this. I love at the end, where they suddenly transition to the single intro "V.I.P", and have totally different styles. It's pretty funny, especially GD with the fake dreads!



"눈물뿐인 바보 - A Fool's Only Tears" is also off their first single album. As "We Belong Together" had more of a focus on GD and TOP, "A Fool's Only Tears" focuses mainly on Young Bae, Dae, and Baby. I like this one a lot, especially the dancing. And the rain. I like it when hot boys are wet.



"This Love" is also off of Big Bang's first single album. This is GD's solo song, which he wrote about a girl from school he really liked, but she had a boyfriend, so they never dated. I love the video a ton, especially when GD is knocking down the mic stands. I don't know why I love that part so much, but I do...



"La La La" is off of their second single album. I love the school concept they have for this MV, and their adorable reactions with each other and the camera. It reminds me a lot of their Skoolooks CFs, in a good way! I love seeing the guys goof off in front of the camera.



"My Girl" is Young Bae's first solo song, off of their second single album. Young Bae is so cute in this. I love that he had his first kiss in this music video, and I love how awkward it is.



"Forever with You" is off their third single album, and is a lot like "We Belong Together" in that it's a GD and TOP song, and it also features Park Bom. I love the stark look of this MV, it fits with the song really nicely.



OMG this video... "Goodbye Baby" is also off the third single album, and is known to me as the video with the dance-off. I love it because it's so cliche. But it also shows the boys dance skills, which is awesome.



"Dirty Cash", off of "Since 2007" is one of Big Bang's most comedic videos. It features the boys playing dual characters. Especially funny is Young Bae in drag, and Baby wearing a cape. Their style was just beginning to evolve, and you can see that in this video.



"Victory" is actually a promo for the "Great" concert. "Victory" was the intro song off of their third single album. This video cuts the song is about half (they cut out the chorus a couple time, and one verse). I really like this video though, I like the flashlights, and the fact that they're just hanging out, and singing to the camera!



"Lies" was Big Bang's breakthrough song, off "Always". It's one of their plot heavy MVs (my favorite kind), and the style is fabulous, with the boys acting like ghosts. Possibly my favorite part: TOP in the shopping basket. The bloopers are the end are pretty hilarious. (Big Bang also released a second version of the video, with new footage)



"Always", which is naturally off of "Always", is my favorite MV of theirs. I think it's because of all the home videos of the boys just being themselves. My favorite part happens around 2:00. Watch Baby in the background. He picks something off his arm and then smells it! Fun fact: this was filmed in Hawaii!



"Last Farewell" is off of "Hot Issue". "Last Farewell" is one of the songs that people new into Big Bang tend to like a lot. It's fun, energetic, and club-tastic. This video is great, very fun. It also stars Lee Dong Gun!



"How Gee", from "For the World", is so funny to me. It's like they took the American rap influence a bit too far, what with the cars, booty dancing, and bling (and there's another dance-off). It's a great MV though, one of their funnest.



"With U" is from "With U", and is just a gorgeous video. Mainly a dance video, "With U" managed to still look fresh, because the dance clips were inter-cut with a plot. Overall it's just fabulous, giving off a frantic vibe.



I can't embed it, but the video for "Stand Up" was a teaser for their "Stand Up" album release. "Stand Up" is actually the intro track off the album, and for some reason one of my favorite songs of theirs, despite being super short. I personally LOVE this video, with the flashing lights, the rain, and the random dog. It works well. This is essentially the full song (they cut it a bit in the middle).
Watch the video here!


"Haru Haru", from "Stand Up" is another of my favorites. This music video is epic, with a strong tragic plot-line, and beautiful imagery. "Haru Haru" was the first real Big Bang video I saw, and it remains one of the strongest images I have of them. If you watch one Big Bang MV, let it be this one. (Big Bang also released a Haru Haru Part II, which has new footage)



"Oh My Friend", also off of "Stand Up". This song features punk rock group No Brain, and is such a fun video. I love how the boys are shown in different careers. I especially love how GD is a mental patient. Baby as a mime creeps me out though ;D



"Number 1", off of "Number 1" is another one of my favorites. I love the club atmosphere in the MV. But my favorite part has to be at 1:50, when Young Bae slaps Aimee's ass. Hilarious.



"Sunset Glow", from "Remember" is a great MV. It's very funny, and yet kinda nostalgic at the same time. Dae is particularly hilarious in this video. I love how this video is pretty spontaneous. Can you imagine minding your business, and suddenly Big Bang shows up, and puts you on their bus?! I would die. I love TOP is supposed to be driving the bus, but TOP doesn't have a license. (Also, the bloopers are the end are awesome!)



"Strong Baby" from "Remember" was the song that got me into Big Bang. It figured it would be Baby that got me into them! Ah, what can I say about it. I love it, but I also find a lot of humor in it (maybe because I consistently find Baby funny). Either way, Baby is a great dance, and it's worth checking out just for that. You can also see Baby's abs!



"Ice Cream Love" was not a real release from Big Bang, but rather a song they used in a CF for the CYON Ice Cream 2 phone. Regardless, this video is adorable, with each of the members trying to impress Kim Tae Hee. I particularly like the beginning when they see Kim Tae Hee, and run off, leaving TOP lagging behind. The end is also adorable, the the boys reacting to Kim Tae Hee blowing them a kiss with her phone.



"So Fresh So Cool" is actually a CF song for HITE beer. Baby isn't in it, because he's underage, and was unable to participate. Anyway, this MV is actually a combination of the CF footage, and behind the scenes footage. I love when MVs include behind the scenes stuff, because I love seeing the boys interact.



"Lollipop", which is another CF song for the LG Lollipop song, is one of Big Bang's most famous MVs. Featuring 2NE1 (this song and MV actually acted as a debut for 2NE1), this video is COLORFUL. It's not my favorite ever, but it's catchy, and the video is fun.



"So I'm Loving You" is a collaborative CF for Lotte Duty Free. The video stars, among others, Big Bang, Rain, and Song Seung Hun. The video is cute, and I love seeing the boys in suits, but I will never be able to forgive them for cutting out Young Bae's voice, for some some unknown reason.



"젊은 그대 (Youthful You)", was also never a real release, but I'm include it here anyway. Big Bang released this CF for Caffe Latte coffee, and sang this song as the promotional song for the commercial. Big Bang never released this song, so you can only hear it in the CF. I enjoy the behind the scenes practicing footage.



"My Heaven", off of "My Heaven" is actually the Japanese version of "천국 (Heaven)", which was released on "Stand Up". This video is plot based, and has beautiful imagery. I especially like the scenes of the boys driving along the highway. I also quite like when GD's sitting in the chair singing at the camera.



"ガラガラ GO!! (Gara Gara GO!!)", off of "ガラガラ GO!!" is actually a lot like the video for "With U", in that it's a dance based video with strong backdrops. It's a fun video, especially if you pay attention to each member individually.



I actually wasn't going to include this MV for "할렐루야 (Hallelujah)", off of the IRIS OST, mostly because I while I'm pretty sure it's an official MV, I don't like the fact that it's just clips from the drama. Not a "real" Big Bang MV in my eyes. But this isn't just about my opinion, so here it is. Not that I don't love the song. I do, quite desperately. It was my favorite release in 2009, and one of my favorite songs of theirs overall.



"声をきかせて (Let Me Hear Your Voice)", off of "声をきかせて", never fails to remind me of the holiday season. I think it's all the white lights, and the cooler tones used in the video. This is a beautiful song, and the video fits it so well, with the soft focus and lighting. My favorite part of this MV is how the camera lingers on GD a lot, despite him having a relatively small part in the song.



"Lollipop Pt. 2, a CF song for the LG Lollipop 2, was just released a few days ago. The video is adorable, mimicking the original "Lollipop" with it's bright colors, and fun style. I love the set a ton, and I love how adorable the boys are.

I love how organized this is! Just ajshhsjdhahhasjdhajhg will you marry me? XD

Sorry for being quite anal (please let me know if I'm already being nitpicky), but here goes:
- "We Belong Together" is a son that focuses on GD and TOP..." I seriously LOL'd at the mental image of GD and TOP having a son. No, I do not ship GTOP. Hee.
- There's also an MV for Shake It. I'm not exactly sure though if it was officially released because it seems like only a compilation of their Shake It performances at The Great concerts. In any case, YGent YT channel has it. It's dated 2007.02.22 in my files, so that's between Dirty Cash and Lies. Also, Victory came before Dirty Cash as Dirty Cash MV was released 2007.01.05. Gawd, why am I like this?!
- Finally... *drum roll, please* I can't believe you forgot Hallelujah! Granted the MV is just clips from Iris, but it is an official MV, right? I'm sure you can't believe you forgot THE Big Bang song of 2009 either. ;)

Thanks! I love things to be organized perfectly

- Stupid spelling errors. I never notice them!
- I decided only to put official videos up, as far as I know "Shake It" was never released as a MV, so I didn't want to put it up (though I have no idea why YGE released the footage from "The Real" concert...) The situation with "Victory" is kinda weird... I organized the videos based on when the albums were released, which is why I put it after "Dirty Cash". But the actual song is on the third single, and it's confusing. I might move it later...
- I honestly don't know why I did that, because I did it on purpose. I wasn't going to put "Hallelujah" or "Friend" on it, because they were OST videos. But now I can't remember why...

I'm relieved that it was actually done on purpose. I have an intense love for the song that to forget it seems a bit sacrilegious . LOL dramatic much? Ok, now I have to sleep. :)

Oh, I would never not include it on purpose! "Hallelujah" is my favorite release from 2009, and one of my favorite songs overall (I have a thing for the GD / TOP songs). I went back and put it in, because I really don't know why I decided not to include it...

YES. you have on idea how much I love this post(and how much my brain hurts thining of all the work that went into it). I have as many BB vids as possible in a youtube playlist - but it's so hard finding all of them and in good quality. I'll be bookmarking this:)

BIG BANG FOREVER.

Yay, thanks! I did work hard on it, so I'm glad to see it paid off :D

Most of the videos are official releases from the YG, Big Bang, or Universal Japan youtube channels, so they're totally legit, better quality, and far less likely to be taken down. I do think I got every MV released, too.

TOTALLY!!!

Last Farewell is my first BB's mv and Haru haru is my favourite, but I admit I love many of their mvs^^

My first video was amusingly Strong Baby (I will never live down the fact that it was Baby who got me into Big Bang... not that I don't love him, I just love to joke about him ;P ). Haru Haru was my second, and remains one of my favorites! I love all their MVs, some more than others, but I think they're all great in their own way!

Big Bang is quickly taking over my mp3 player, and i am blaming you.

...although the This Love thing is VERY CONFUSING to my Maroon 5 enjoyment.

Hehehe, I am to blame for a lot of Big Bang takeovers. But being able to make others love Big Bang through the sheer force of my enthusiasm for them, well that makes me proud beyond reason.

It IS confusing. Now when I hear the original song, I get confused and baffled as to why GD isn't singing.

you are amazing. thanks for this! Only part two and I'm learning so much stuff! And I thought I was a good Big Bang fan! *hangs head in shame* Thanks for sharing! I've never seen the Victory and Stand Up clips before!

From: [identity profile] uisceros.livejournal.com
Aw, thanks!!
Don't worry, I didn't know some things before I did my research for this. Hell, I'm still learning. I figure you're a good Big Bang fan as long as you love them :D

I hadn't seen the "Victory" clip before either. As for the "Stand Up" clip, they showed it at the Big Show 2010, and that was the first time I'd seen it (I was confused, because I thought I had seen all of BB's videos!)

Anyway, glad you enjoyed it! (I STILL have to finish Baby's part...)
