Yes, she was busy with her korean comeback. ;)

the highest-selling female of 2010 was only with 178k? wow.

^its so sad right ;______; though there are also lots of digital download numbers (legal ones :P) but most of the koreans just download it illigally :(

GUESS WHAAAAATTTTTT
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


this doesnt mean she has won it though =/ since she isnt going to perform there and MAMA only gives performing artists their award..

BoA's still with avex

^So does that mean both BoA and Tohoshinki are gonna be staying with avex?

^ Yes. As other SME artists who has been signed under avex earlier but I omitted that part.

^Awesome!:D

so sm and avex are good again? mkay.. happy to see her staying with avex!

BOA MIGHT BE ATTENDING THE MAMAS!!!! SO SHE MIGHT GET THE AWARD :faint :faint

^:D:D

yes, here's article

SOME NEWS. BoA tweeted that she was doing a photoshoot for High Cut (korean magazine) which will be released next week and she'll share the photos on her twitter. omg I'M EXCITED. HC always has amazing shoots with celebrities.

and it's confirmed she won't be attending MAMA. hooray

Nice to know she's going to post some new pics then. I can't wait to see those <3

NOOOOOO WHY SM?? WHYYYYY :bawl :bawl i was so excited for an amazing performance ;______;

but yay for High Cut! love those photoshoots :love

I'm saying that Mnet and SM Entertainment, I think, still hate each other... (but why?)

^sm says that mnet is biased with awards and stuff, since Gee didnt win song of the year last year =/

aw cant wait for that photoshoot <3 I need new songs from her too ;_; hope she'll release something in january or february, I want new single!!

^She had the I SEE ME single coming out. However in January she's gonna be starting the filming for that hollywood movie.

it seems like... she won at MAMA o.O The best female artist category, it hasn't been shown during broadcast though (obviously)

What were some of the bias issues that led to the SM boycott?

...........

:( Hope its fake.

^whats wrong? if thats the cover its simple, but i like it. Besides, i just think avex doesnt want to invest in BoA as much as they used to which is kinda sad....:(

headphones she's advertising in the cover? smells very fake.

well, she looks beautiful!!!!!! :heart

omg I hope not! that cover is cuteee <3

3D version of Hurricane Venus MV.

you're not going to enjoy watching this... since it's 3D lol.

most recent photo of her; during korean interview last week

HER LONG HAIR. ARE. SLOWLY. COMING BACK :heart:

full interview: http://community.livejournal.com/omo...t/5264597.html

Whoa, so looks to pretty here!!

(Keep growing your hair out, BoA! :D)

Interesting. Wasnt too much that came as surprise in that article. Still thanks for posting.

Her new hair is so beautiful!!!!!
New hair, new era !!!!
the short hair was horrible !!!

audio-technica 30s CM: http://www.audio-technica.co.jp/atj/sc/cm4/index.html

you can watch it here. good luck, it doesn't work for me.

I love to hear her speak. <3 Also fail at 2:24 the news lady says BoA debuted with her first English album last year titled Hurricane Venus.

^I saw that. Her album was self-titled here simply as BOA. Now people might check into it here with the wrong name.

Aw, she's so cute in that interview. i seriously can't wait for that movie ~ i'm going to drag my boyfriend to come see it with me, and if not, my best friend's coming, since she likes boa too :shimmy i actually got her back into boa with hurricane venus album <3

I'm wondering when it'll get released into theaters.

She looks gorgeous in the CM and making clip :heart I'm LOVING this song now. full version please!!

Why the heck do they always compare popular Asian artists to Britney Spears? It gets old really fast. Since when does Britney Spears dance like BoA? Is she trilingual?

BoA is R&B/Hip hop? ok....Really? Hurricane Venus is her ENGLISH album from last year???? :tired. Isn't this reporter Korean? Does she even know what she is talking about?

And BoA, good answer. You do have your own style and dance moves. Btw she had many grammatical mistakes as opposed to what that other person said, but they weren't all that bad. I can see why someone would think she sounds flawless because she finally has the pronunciation down and its rock solid.

she was on fox 5 news last night?! always when i don't watch, i miss something. :weep

anyway, i LOVE the audio-technica CM soooo much! :heart BoA looks gorgeous (i'm so happy she's growing her hair out! it looks great) & i still love the song preview, lol.

edit: is this the fox 5 interview? BoA's english is sooo good! :heart

^^Interesting. Would have never expected to see her on Fox...lol

^probably something she agreed to do as part of a beginning promotion for that film. Also, if that was also meant to help the promotions for her English album, maybe they really should have told the viewers the proper name for it.

lol....it was stupid on the reporter's part....didn't do any research....but I guess it didnt do that much harm. BoA the album has been cold and dead for a loooong time and people might look up Hurricane Venus and get into her Asian music.

^Yeah, but most Americans don't wanna listen to something that's in a language they can't understand. That's a common response I get from people when I show them my Asian music.

PICS OF HIGH CUT MAG!!!!!!

THE ONES WITH LONG HAIR :luv2 :luv2 :luv2

^ she looks so classy in this, and I love the long hair:heart

FLAWLESS DIVA. :heart

Any news on a release for I SEE ME? I'm getting impatient! The snow is on the ground, I need to listen to this during the Christmas season!!

http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/935...0120225201.jpg

cover is true then... avex, you have lazy ass. is it that hard to take a separate photoshoot for single jacket, not taking from the DAMN HEADPHONES BRAND ADVERTISEMENT? i'm so pissed rn.

nevermind, it's just a digital single.

As feared. Why would they crop out this ad.....they could have at least cropped a picture from that nice magazine shoot.

Oh dear... :thud

I am a newbie BoA fan but I have a feeling that the covers of her Japanese singles aren't thaaaaat spectacular and creative anyway, aren't they? *looking at WOO WEEKEND*

^ does she have creative covers anyway? don't come up with HV, only make-up was creative here IMO


some cuts from Athena (shown at the press conference)

^i think both HV and AP were pretty creative tbh :yes also, MIT cover is gooooorgeous :luv2 same goes for that latest best she had :love


ooooohh~ fighting scene!!

High Cut pics from official site

High Cut huge MQ scans

I thought BoA was taking a break from Japan?

so then I SEE ME is out next week?

The ones with the long hair are beyond gorgeous :heart

:shrug

Apparently it's released as a ringtone (chaku-uta) on 8th. What will happen later, nobody knows.

those high cut pics are amazing.

I SEE ME ; full song
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xfyqvd_y_music

^ thanks!! could someone upload it on mediafire please? ><

^ I ripped it :)
http://www.mediafire.com/?p0lqw0dacod0ln6

woot thank you <3

so..i haven been looking at her thread..she released a new song? o.o

I think I'm gonna wait for the official release before listening to it through. It's not that far away anyway. :)

and this is why her sales will keep declining in Japan :( please BoA, just stay in Korea.. the music they give you is so much better than this.

I just love the new song. Thanks. I took the download. It's not complicated or nothing, but it's light and sweet, which I'm liking. Especially after the rough night I had.:D:D

It isn't doing anything for me... It's like I've heard it at once and I don't want to hear again. :(

Listening to it now...let's see.

I want another hot upbeat song from her...Lose my mind was really good.

You know what, I wanna wait too. :)

I want...Daishimeru2, LOSE YOUR MIND2, Winter Love2 :(
I think BoA's korean music currently definitely wont mell with her jpop stuff anymore lol!

It's not bad, but it's not amazing...

i love the song in full even more than the CM preview, lol. :heart i just love BoA's vocals! and IMO, she's had worse ballads than this. sadly it'll only be a digital single, but hopefully she'll release a new single sometime in early 2011, with an upbeat dance song! i really hope for that.

^but in early 2011 she'll be filming that hollywood movie.

It falls a bit flat. I could only get through a little less than half of the song. Oh well. I suppose it's better than having it turn out crappy.

I really like I SEE ME :yes Her vocals are awesome! Any chance of getting a PV? I'd really love to watch it!

^I hadn't heard about one.

Oh and sorry for spazzing but OMG Ur In Venice!!? I've Always Wanted To Go There!!!:D:D:D:D:D

she could still release a new single, anyway. she can't go too long without something new in japan, especially when 2011 will be her 10th anniversary with avex.

True. Still I'm wondering if she'll celebrate 2 tenth anniversaries like this. Guess we'll see. I have been hearing rumors of her releasing another American English album next year. However, I don't have anything to back it up on.

I don't know what happened with me, but i loved the preview of I SEE ME, and now in full, it sounds boring!!!
And talking about her 10th anniversary with avex, i hope she can release more singles and a really good album the next year.
Probably this year was the worst for BoA in Japan.
But a really good comeback in Korea.

It's sad that her music isn't selling in Japan anymore. BoA is really talented and I really love her. It saddens me to know that her sales keep declining. :/ I hope she will release something that's gonna touch everyone's heart so much she'll sell well again. :)

I feel same way.:)

well, if avex doesn't do anything special for her 10th anniversary in Japan next year... :/

^It sounds sad, but is true u_u

Sketchbook talk part finally subbed~ she's adorkable here.


the last SMTOWN Live concerts are going to held next year on 25th and 26th in Tokyo. I guess BoA's going to be there. :)

"I SEE ME" debuted at #10 in recochoku's chaku-uta ranking
http://recochoku.jp/recochoku_ranking/uta.html

not bad :yes

^yeah, could be worse.

Actually, the verses of the song sounded good. then i felt like the chorus didnt match up..sounded kinda draggy

OMG YOU GUYS MUST WATCH THIS!
BALLAD VERSION OF COPY&PASTE!!



& A powerful performance of HURRICANE VENUS

this came out so of sudden lol.

I need mp3 rip of C&P ballad part. :heart The whole thing was probably her best C&P performance ever imo.

Am i only one that noticed at start of HV performance it came up saying song she was singing was dangerous? then halfway through they popped another back up correcting themselves as it being Hurricane Venus?

^yup everyone was like SHE IS GOING TO PERFORM DANGEROUSSSSSSS and then the HV part came and everyone was wtfing :roflmao

she was AMAZING in the C&P performance :luv2 :luv2 :luv2
and she also won an award for HV!!!!!! :happybday

AMAZING PERFORMANCES, SHE'S A GODDESS.
Nothing else to say :D

that's because at the beginning they're using a remix of Dangerous. not their fault XD

Loved both performances!! probably the best one of each song.
and she has brown hair again it seems :blove

The slow part of C&P is amazing !!!!

She was pretty. Nice vocals

Omg, stunning performances. <3

great performances! I loved her ballad version of C&P as the intro.. she had so much energy too! she was really giving it her all~
