Development and background
Big Bang 2 is Big Bang's second original Japanese album, following the release of Big Bang in 2009. Their song "Ms. Liar" was a Japanese remake of their Korean song "Stupid Liar".[2]
Singles
Prior to Big Bang 2's announcement, three singles were released. "Koe o Kikasete" was the first single and was released November 4, 2009. It charted for sixteen weeks and managed a peak position at number four. Following "Koe o Kikasete" was "Tell Me Goodbye", released June 9, 2010. "Tell Me Goodbye" achieved around the same success, managing to chart for fifteen weeks peaking at number five. "Beautiful Hangover", the third single, was less successful, reaching number seven and charting only eight weeks.[3] On April 18, 2011 a Japanese music video version of "Tonight" was made and uploaded on YG Entertainment's YouTube account and was released as a digital download on April 27, 2011. A fifth single, Ms. Liar was digitally released the same day as the album release.
Promotion
Big Bang 2 is to be accompanied by the Love & Hope Tour across Japan.[4] The tour was previously titled the Love & Pain Tour, but it was changed due to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. Part of the proceeds will go to disaster relief.[5]

The tracklisting was revealed through CD Japan.[2][6]
