First thing that comes to mind.......

Ra Ra-ah-ah-ah....Roma Roma-m.....

oh my god, that's so disastrous! Worse than the braids on the American debut cover xD

she looks like a zombie !!!

BoA got wasted....her makeup melted....she just puked and she's leaning against the wall for support. Oh well....She already gave us so many beautiful shots that one crappy one is acceptable I guess.

Now that's just nasty. :no

I showed my friend the promo picture and she's like "...is that RURUTIA?"

lol

So I'm going to take a wild guess and say that I'm the only one that actually likes that promo pic? :laugh


mte :P I actually like the title M.E.P. (My Electric Piano) too, sounds like it'll be a pretty interesting track.

The cover's very interesting. Not really pretty but still pretty cool.

the new promo pic sort of freaked me out for a moment there.:OMG
that's not really BoA's style...the make-up, the outfit, the hair :shakehead

interesting cover.

looks nothing like her xD
or, rather, the "her" that I'm used to haha.

And the other promo pictures look good to me ;)
Sometimes a little ugly is perfectly fine :D

The album will be out digitally on Aug. 2

She looks gross in that preview.

The cover looks nice! but the promo pict looks creepy at that angle. O_O

That new promo pics is VERY ugly. Also, was just on YA again this morning checking some stuff and they changed the "Expected Release date" for BoA's album from August 6th to August 9th.... I really don't think they know how to get their information straight....

lol I like it :laugh

Riko Nakasone helps BoA with choreography for the title song!

but rino and i are currently wearing the same clothes while we dance ^^

from BoA's Twitter

AMAAZIIING It's going to be fierce (even though No Other and LUCIFER choreos weren't as good :laugh). I read somewhere she was BoA's backdancer back then, wow!

^i read she's doing again backdancing for her!

^ OMG *___*

i hope it's that and no a lost-in-translation :laugh <33!!!
oh god, next weeeek <3

WOO WEEKEND PV Making of

nothing special, but exercise parts were cute
http://blogfile.paran.com/BLOG_10790...oo-weekend.gif

I don't really like the cover, I wish they could have done something a little different. The promo pic is interesting though, rather...this whole concept is interesting :).

But she's still a backdancer, that's still good :laugh

The small preview of Hurricane Venus sounds really good. :)

The preview is VERY promising......ok. Bring it on.

so rino is just backdancing?
aw, i love her choreos!!but it's still good to see her there <33

^ OT, but your current Initiate is very suitable. ;)

I think that's the best song she composed! I HATE everything else she composed unfortunately, so I hope she just improved in this album.

The Hurricane Venus preview sounds good so far!

^^ikr?:laugh i am that amazing :) :roflmao

Hurricane Venus sounds.... *_* CanNOT wait to hear it in full.

I WANT MY COPY ALREADY!! WANH!!

god, i can't wait to hear it full

GOOD preview!!!! Hurricane Venus is amazing

I need this album.

TOTALLY ordering this album with my Ayu CDL DVDs! So glad it'll be out soon!

Definitely preordering this now! :D

Hi this is me speaking to y'all from the next world as I just died.

Um where the hell was this kind of stuff during IDENTITY......its like Japan got cheated.

:thud
AMAZING!!!!!!

OH GOOOOD! i need the full MV now

And this is why K-pop > J-pop.

LOVE IT!

Î died too *in heaven*

THAT LOOKS SO AWESOME!!! I CANNOT WAIT!!!

Just Proves That The Girl's Still Got It!!

:luv2 I have no words. Wait, I have - I love you BoA.

it's amazing how a good producers team can make her bright more than this 3 past years <3

^ that's power of SME I guess :laugh
I'm watching today full episode of Music Core right now and I loved how they showed that preview exactly after G.NA's performance - 2 the best female singers in South Korea even though one of them debuted this year :heart

Gosh...cant imagine how that would be in the real 3D version. Petals and feathers flying everywhere at you...OMGGGG
Fantastic makeup, vocals, look...all i need is the song and dance now.

i've been waiting for this for so so long! i remember in 2006, they were announcing the vol.6 of BoA's korean career and it never happened. ONLY TILL NOW goshhh...i sincerely hopes she promotes there for a longer period of time.

and thereafter, hopefully on the japan side, things change...but this will really have to depend on many factors i guess...like how the turnout for her comeback will be. BoA STILL HAS HER VALUE AVEX!

I just noticed that BoA has recorded songs in chinese

So she has songs in korean, japanese, chinese and english :thud OMG she's amazing!

^Yeah she did some stuff in Mandarin. I don't think she's anywhere near fluent though.

If BoA has plans to go back to Japan then AVEX better give her a bigger budget again (if they had cut it during IDENTITY) and better creative team because so far the few things if seen and heard within the last few days for her Korean release are better than her past two years worth of Japanese material as a whole.

^ I agree everything you said!

Song teaser in Music Bank, music video teaser in Music Core... I'm curious what they'll show in Inkigayo tomorrow :laugh

HURRICANE VENUS sounds awesome and the PV looks like it will be awesome too!!

Great direction :yes

Her Korean direction has always been better. I think Avex was trying to make her "too Jpop" and that's why her music just failed 90% of the time for me. It seemed so forced.... but when she's in Korea or America, her music is amazing... I think she's just meant to be more western....

This so much!!

^I REALLY loved The Face. It was excellent. It was more so Identity that needed work. However, I did enjoy it for the most part. Just wasn't as good. Still, I'm still hearing she's gonna release another English album in 2011.

Teaser is fantastic! :thud I need this ASAP.

I love the THE FACE but over all I didn't enjoy it as much as MADE IN TWENTY(20). As for IDENTITY I really only liked 1 song on the whole album and the song was a from a single. But that's my opinion.

Still, if whats true about her releasing another English album in 2011, I guess we wont see her back in Japan OR Korea again 'til 2012 after she's most likely finished failing at getting into America for a second time.

^Nah the world will end in 2012. Even if we pretend she will be successful it'll only last a year =/

Her korean comeback is amazing and hot, BoA is sexy, and the pv looks gorgeous.
Why she can do something like this with avex?

Because avex markets her as cutesy and fun. They've got other artists to take the "sexy gorgeous" route. Shame.

................ the only thing I can do is bow to this preview. :thud

Wow, BoA's image in Korea is really great!

Anyone want to write about BoA for JpopStop Wiki's Featured Artist of Week 31 (2010)?

http://wiki.jpopstop.com/wiki/Catego...tured_Articles

There's no one occupying that spot atm.

^ mimi
but how

^You can start here:

:]

Created it :)

:thumbsup Anyone know who she's competing against next week on the Korean TV thingy?

You might want to take out:

"Many fans think that this material is better than her Japanese music for the past 2 years." cause its a little biased.

^ yesh, okay

very LQ teaser showed in Inkigayo

Only more new photos were showed, no part of song or music video.

^What happened to the sound half way through? Still looks cool.

^ I don't know :shrug

yay I'm so excited for her new album :)

but why is that girl dressed as a witch? xD

^ They have something like Halloween in South Korea now :laugh

^Cause she forgot Halloween's in October.:P

^ no. In Japan and Korea August is Ghost's Month

4minute dancing to My Name on some show (can't recognize where)

That was good :o (Hyunaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :luv2) Omg these male hosts' reactions :roflmao

This vid just reminded me of that song. I'll die if BoA's new album contains as sexy song as My Name...

EDIT:
You mean who's also performing on music shows next week?

Only 10 hours left for Hurricane Venus song to be released (in my timezone)... I still can't believe that her comeback is really happening :heart

EDIT:

from BoA's Twitter

which one of them is BoA? :roflmao

Haha she doesn't know when the songs come out :laugh

But wait... SONGS?! Is it means that...
It sounds really weird, songs are coming digitally today/tomorrow but album is going to be released 3 days later x_X'
...Not that I complain. :lech

^ The album is released digitally tomoroow
