That dance was weird. Just a bunch of stomping and tap dancing. So some BoA news

IDIFL is 19 on the Hot Club Play Charts. Still going up the charts.

I wonder where those glasses came from? They don't look real. No glare.

BoA was interviewed by LA Weekly

Q&A part in spoiler
Spoiler:

You've played with many different styles during your career. Why release a dance album in the US?
Our plan was to introduce me to America. I'm a really new artist here. I would say that my style is an artist who can dance and sing. That's why my album is really upbeat. Maybe we will try slowly to do ballads or middle tempo songs. For now, this is my introduction album, so I want to try something that I really can do. I want to try my best.

Are you trained as a dancer as well?
I started training with singing and dance lessons at the same time. Also, I was taking Japanese lessons too, when I was eleven or twelve. After school, I went to the recording studio. I made a contract with my recording company [S.M. Entertainment] when I was eleven years old. After that, I jumped into training. It took two years. I debuted in Korea when I was thirteen years old. After that, I debuted in Japan, at fourteen years old. So, we prepared to go to Japan.

Now that you're working in America, is it like starting all over again?
Yeah, from scratch. I need to learn English and everything is so new to me. I need to learn most of all about American culture. I feel really fresh.

What makes a career in America so appealing?
I never tried to be sexy. You know, most people say that Asian or female artists should be sexy in America, but I don't think that I have to be like that. I have a tomboy style. My choreography is not that way. So, I want to focus on my music style to match the choreography, which is really cool. No girls can dance those moves. I try to make them really fresh.
I'm working with the same company, where I started first. They know me. I know them. We are good to each other.

Are you guys like a family now?
Most likely, yeah. Like Entourage.

How does it work?
If they want me to do something, they ask me. We decide together. We can share everything. I make my own ideas. They make really good ideas and we can make them together.

What influenced this record?
I [had] the chance to work with Sean Garrett, Brian Kennedy, Bloodshy and Avant, really big producers here in America. They helped me out a lot, so I would say that my inspirations are those producers...
It's amazing that I can make a record with Sean Garrett or Brian Kennedy. Sean Garrett produced a lot of hit records. I used to listen to Usher's "Yeah!" and "Run It! " by Chris Brown. I was really shocked that I could make a record with him.

BoA plays Universal City Walk on Saturday March 21 at 6:30 p.m. There will be a meet-and-greet session for 125 people.

^ Yay thank you! :D

Yarumi 14th June 2009 04:10 AM
Well Asuka IS a latin ballroom dancer... ballroom dancers dance with partners and it's very difficult to do a solo... Her solo was actually not that bad :D If you look at the previous season's ballroom dancers they all do the same tricks.

Boa is good at kiddie-hip hop but she doesn't have the versatility that most of the dancers have... I do lover her choreography though! I'll bet if you gave Asuka BoA's choreography then she would do just as good

I wish BoA would perform live on SYTUCD! It would amazing!

Asuka is an amazing and precise ballroom dancer. I'm pretty sure the judges must have seen something in her to keep her in the top 20. I can't wait to see more of her!

I'm sure if BoA got on the show, she would learn the dance really quick... but I can't imagine her doing ballroom dancing haha.

hearted 14th June 2009 10:36 PM
i dunno if this is old news or not, so sorry if it is!

which show are you watching ?_? She's a fabulous ballroom/latin dancer... did you see her audition 0_o

Aisha_Angel 15th June 2009 01:45 AM
Asuka did amazing during her ballroom audition. If I'm not mistaken she was featured on another show prior to SYTYCD. I'd like to say that it was the Oprah Winfrey Show, but that sounds a little far fetched.

So uhh..has anyone ever seen Verbal without sunglasses? :laugh

Sundae 15th June 2009 04:24 AM

edit:Found one. The one on the right. Cute.
