Korean boy band BIG BANG has just announced that they will be heading on their second Japanese tour!

The group's new tour is titled,�"BIGBANG presents 'Love & Hope Tour 2011'", and it marks the first time that BIG BANG has toured Japan in nearly two years. Despite having initial doubts about the appropriateness of a Japanese tour because of the recent earthquake, the boys have decided to move on in order to spread "love & hope" throughout Japan.

"Because of the serious situation, we believe it's more essential than anything to have the hope to keep one's eye on reconstruction," they responded when asked about the title of their upcoming tour, which was changed to reflect their feelings towards the disaster-stricken country. The seven-day tour will begin at Oosakajou Hall on May 11th, and end in Nagoya's Nihon Gaishi Hall.

Oricon has also revealed the covers for their upcoming album, "BIGBANG 2", so check those out below!
