At first, I was very pissed at why he's releasing his first album in Japan but not in his home country Korea. I mean, I don't have anything against JVIPs but isn't this a little too much? What would the KVIPs think, knowing that Dae's very first solo is to be released in Japan instead of his home country, Korea? BUT then, I went on to search on Google about this and got this really useful load of information from a forum (I've forgotten which, :/)
He/She translated these from Chinese from a thread in Weibo.
Fact about Daesung’s new solo album
"Daesung has always had his own thinking. Plus, he has said that this solo album is a special gift for the fans. It won't be a long time till he releases his solo album in Korea. So please anticipate.
As YG couldn't give a date for the release of Daesung's solo album, AVEX, noting his melodic voice and talents, invited him to release his Cover Album in Japan. Daesung obviously took that chance. In Japan, only a certain line of singers are able to release Cover Albums.
Daesung's solo album has actually been prepared 2-3 years ago but due to unforeseen circumstances, the release was delayed. But he has never stopped working on the production, learning different musical instruments in the process.
Daesung's solo album includes him being the producer, lyricist. The team members in the production crew were all chosen by him. It is only after the completion of the album will he discuss the release and activities with YG.
For Daesung, his first solo album has to be released in Korea for the Korean fans. While YG has not given him a date yet, he has made use of the chance given by AVEX, approved by YG, because Daesung has his own decision rights. If he can have a breakthrough in the Japan market, then it'll be good, especially for the subsequent release of his Korean album. It is also beneficial for the group.
For many years, Daesung has been highly concerned about his singing career. He has been working hard to establish himself as both a singer and a musician. His efforts are no doubt put in. "
There. I'm not sure about the genuineness about this article but it seems true and I don't have time to search for more info - ACCA papers are next week ><. Anyways, I've seen some misunderstood VIPs who left comments around the Web dissing about Dae not releasing in Korea and it's only a cover album and stuffs. It hurts to see fans say hurtful stuffs about my lovely Dae especially when they did not know the real truth behind.

This Japanese Album is just a side project of Daesung, he's currently working behind the scenes, learning new musical instruments, and is in the process of producing his very own original solo album. AND he's said that his own original solo album MUST BE IN KOREA. So, we VIPs must just wait patiently. :)
I'll be waiting for his Korean solo album but I'm definitely buying his Japanese one too, it's his VERY OWN FIRST SOLO after all. :)
Till then, peace out

VIP Until Whenever
