Taeyang: As BIGBANG, we always perform in really large venues like domes. I really wanted to perform in a smaller venue, like this one today. In a dome, you all must feel like “ah..!” (holds out hand with few cm distance between finger and thumb) “so that’s SOL..!” Seeing me up close today, what do you think?
VIP: (cheer)
Taeyang: You won’t go home like this (pretends to write on smartphone) heh! (spiteful laugh) I knew it!”
VIP: Noo! (cheer louder)
Taeyang: (laugh) Thank you! Since we’re so close, I’ll answer questions!
VIP: (cheer)

Question Time
Taeyang: But today no questions like “how do you get so muscular” or “do you have a gf?” Questions like that are boring, right? He imitated a female voice at the “how do you get so muscular” part, it sounded so funny.

Q: What would you want to become if you were reborn?
Taeyang: Hmm… I really like being myself. I’m satisfied with my choices in life, and with how my path turned out. So if I was reborn I’d want to be myself again, and do even better. Really good question. Applause!

Q: How do you pronounce Ringa Linga correctly?
VIP: Youngbae sensei!! (= teacher)
Taeyang: (serious face) I’ll teach you politely.
Taeyang: The first Ringa starts with R, the second with L, right? So it’s Ringa Linga (EN pronunciation). For the R, you have to roll your tongue (he didn’t know the JP word for tongue so he said it in English and showed his tongue til VIP told him the JP word) back like this: Ringa – Linga. (goes back to VIP who asked) try it once! (hands mic to staff who hands it to VIP)
VIP: (into mic) Linga Linga!
Taeyang: (gets mic back) practice a bit more!

Another question came from a boy in 1st row.
Taeyang: How old are you?
Boy: 13.
Taeyang: And you know me?
Boy: (nods) I do!
Taeyang: You weren’t dragged here by your mom, “We’re going to a concert!! (strict voice)”?
Boy: (shakes head) I like you!
Taeyang: Thank you! What’s your question?
Boy: My little brother is here with me.. (camera moves to show both)
Taeyang: Oh! How old is he?
Boy: He’s 10. I’m worried about him. He is very dependent on my mom and cries when she’s not there.. What should I do?
Taeyang: Ohh.. You see, I started dreaming of being a singer from when I was 13. Before that I was a real mother boy (he said “mother boy” in English). Really! When I was a kid, I used to wake up in the morning, think of how I’d go to kindergarten & my mom wouldn’t be there. I couldn’t eat and started crying. It was after finding my dream that it stopped and I was okay. So don’t worry. Your brother will be fine. Tell your mom too!
(The boy said his mom was there too, in another seat. A woman on 2nd floor right edge started screaming and waving while jumping.)
Taeyang: Hm? How can you be up there so far, when your sons are right here in first row?
(The mom didn’t explain, but it was super hard to get tickets at all for this tour, so she probably bought them for her sons at a super high price and took the bad seats herself.)
Taeyang: Thanks for coming! Don’t worry, and… please love your sons a lot!
Taeyang: How old are you?

Q: Express your feelings by dancing!
Taeyang seemed a bit at a loss at first. He’d chosen 2 VIP who’d screamed a lot in the arena but then in the end didn’t know anything to ask, his mood must have been a bit, well, complicated? He asked for a beat from the band and started dancing, went on for a while with loud cheers from VIP but he clearly wasn’t satisfied, he laughed and apologized at the end.

Q: Do you like me?
Taeyang: …I can’t see you. (serious face) I’m sorry. You’re a bit far away… Not a good answer, I know.
Taeyang: (towards staff) bring me glasses! (looks to questioner with very concentrated expression), sorry, but… eh? (VIP in row 1 say something)
Taeyang: (looks at screen in his back where VIP is shown) Oh! (looks back to VIP’s direction) I like you! I like you a lot! (thumbs up)

Q: Will there be a new BIGBANG album before the Dome Tour starts? [November 15]
Taeyang: (serious) Let me answer after the question session ends.
The album question was the 2nd one of them all, so Taeyang left us hanging for quite a while. He said it in the very end after talking about the other members’ current activities.
Taeyang: If our new album will be ready before the tour… I really don’t know. We will do our best.
