A volume that continues to excite the young ladies hearts! For this month it is none other than Bigbang’s D-LITE san who will appear on the magazine with his first solo album “D’scover”~!!! The questions that readers has asked are also answered by D-LITE san ♥

[I like girls with a warm smile. I think a smile can tell me the person’s life]

As a present to the person I like, I will sing “Love” for her to listen.

BH: “D’scover” as a J-Pop cover album has quite a huge variety because you have recorded songs like “Sunny Hill”, “Powerful Boy”, “Joyful” and “Tonight Boogie Back”.
D-LITE: Selecting songs that I purely want to sing from a list of 200 songs, then singing it for once and choosing 10 songs that I feel for. To have an album that contains so much variety makes me satisfied as well. The common point for all songs is “warmth”. It’s like being in a mother’s womb, I was trying to emphasize on that warmness. When listening to the original song lyrics and voice, if I can portray the warmth, color, passion and message that I feel from the song, I will be very happy.

BH: Are there any songs that you feel the most for?
D-LITE: Saito Kazuyoshi’s “Singer’s Ballad”. This is a song that I found by accident while searching online for more songs to listen to. After listening to it, I really liked it, so I suggested to sing the song.

BH: Was it tough during the recording session?
D-LITE: I really had to consider many aspects and I also discussed many times with the production team. I have also heard the songs too many times that it would be bad if I continued (laugh). During recording, the most important thing of all is to “sing sincerely” from the heart. When you guys listen to my songs and am able to feel my sincere singing, I will be very happy.

BH: Did you let your members listen to the album?
D-LITE: Yes, I watched “Singer’s Ballad” MV with them. It was the first time watching an MV with my own song together with them, so I was too shy and did not watch till the end (laugh).

BH: If you have a girl you like, what song will you sing for her?
D-LITE: It might be too sweet but I will sing Hata Motohiro’s “Love” (shy). When I understood the meaning of the lyrics, I felt like it matched my style when I am in love. I am also a person who beat around the bush when I want to speak about my own feelings. I will treat this song as a present for her.

Q&A session for D-LITE with questions from BLENDA readers!
