...her hair? :shakehead :(

^ I actually like her hair in those pics.

Yeah its the best look she's had for while....(remember the horse butt from the first live of HV? :laugh). If only the blonde would go....

love her hair there too. same with outfit. she looks awesome.:D:D

...I don't know, I don't like how that headband is put and that her hair looks kinda fake, like a way longer than they are. :shrug
At least there's still simple make-up. :thumbsup

yep, I was too lazy to upload it anywhere lol.

I like her hair and outfits in pics & video! Nice style, slowing growing on me


Beautiful NAILS!!!! Will copy them!!!
Do you have date of the magazine issue so that i can make a pretty entry to my blog please?


Thanks for sharing everything, guies ♥

OMG :luv2 Photos, songs' descriptions... everything is awesome!

teaser, can't hear much but i like what i'm seeing/hearing so far.

WHOOOOAAA...I can't wait. the beat is so cool! And dancing BoA again! that beats anything + she looks great and sophisticated

teaser = :luv2
seriously, this songs like it could be so fierce & awesome!!! <3
can't waiiiit

This looks and sounds even better than HV for me... o.O
But I'll wait for full songs and MV to judge properly.

the PV preview look so COOL!!!

BoA is really back to her old self, i wonder why she is not stay true to her type of music when she is in Japan...the PV looks way better than any PV that she release in japan for about 5 years...

OMGGOMGMGMGG SO EXCITEDDD!!!

i have a feeling im gonna love this even more than HV :faint


edit: did you change the thread title? :P

While I also prefer this music, it is true that electronic dance music is far more popular in Korea than it is in Japan. I can't think of a lot of succesful Japanese singers that have songs like this...

I LOVE IT. Now I have to get the repackage. Damn you and your marketing tactics!

OMG YOU GUYS SHOULD REALLY REALLY LISTEN TO THIS MASTERPIECE OF A COVER

LOL truly brilliant cover


The teaser is wonderful, got me super excited. Thanks for sharing!

I agree, her music in Japan doesn't have the same quality as her Korean music. Maybe better producers in Korea? I hope that she's different when returning to Japan. D:

Awesome teaser + R&B ballad = :heart
I need to preorder the album ;_;

Yes :P to be more fitting.

I wonder if instrumental part with that oriental tune in teaser is from a song... If is then I already love it and top over HV :P

She's too adorable I have no words. :heart

love this photoshoot<3


the teaser sounds great so far, and the outfits look cool~

the teaser is so amazing!!!!!!
and the song sounds so coool

can't watch the teaser..:(

I watched the teaser. Promising. :D

Official Site Design Update!

http://boa.smtown.com

I updated the first post with bigger teaser pics.

^ so cool!

wow, the new page looks so good:luv2

wow yeah it really looks awesome :luv2

and awwww boaaaa!!! your still taller than me its okay lol

THEY'RE ALREADY OUT OMG



I expected C&P to be more... wow-ing, you know? It's still flawless and catchy though. BoA and my beloved oriental/arabesque sound, finally :luv2

I'm OK is amazing! <3

i love copy&paste!!! it's nothing like i could imagine!! it's so fresh & awesomeee :luv2
i'm ok is pretty too:luv2

GREAT repackage:heart even if i wanted at least a remix or an acoustic version of one of the songs ~

oh BoA, going back to Korea was one of the best decisions you have ever made.
these new songs are flawless, i am so happy ;_;

Great new songs. Just wish the repackage had a little more.

Who else thinks I'm OK CAN be accused of plagiarism? During some parts I have "I HEARD THIS BEFORE" feeling.

MV was delayed to next week. :rolleyes The most amazing is that we even didn't hear about MV release date at all before. :rolleyes

^hm.. i dont hear it :shrug hopefully it isnt plagerized, but i dont think it is though since sm always buys the songs :yes

OMG IM IN LOVE WITH IM OK!!!!! :luv2 :luv2 such a gorgeous song~~ i love copy and paste too but the versus are kinda... dull? :( im pretty sure the MV will make me love it :yes

^ as expected you love it :laugh is it your new Milky Way :lech? :D

^you know me goood :lech eheh im not sure cuz milky way is like.... AWOJGTAJWGQ BOAAAA but this is really good too :laugh i hope she'll perform it tomorrow :nervous


btw you guys, is the mv coming today? edit:: NOOOO CRAP YOU SM I JUST READ ON OMONA THAT THE MV IS DELAYED TILL NEXT WEEK :gnash

Wow. I thought I'm OK would be another boring ballad, but it blew my socks off! Copy and Paste is awesome as well.

Just when I had convinced myself I wouldn't be getting the repackage...

New songs are awesome :heart I can't wait to see the performances!

I think I hear COSMIC in C&P... that means SME continues with their trademark :laugh

COPY & PASTE is super hot!

Copy&Paste is LOVELY! The melody sounds so old-skool BoA yet the music is very modern and I love the arabic sound that gives it more edge and darkness. Cant wait for the super-slick MV!

I love COPY&PASTE!11
really good song

apparently she's only gonna perform copy and paste today :( are you guys gonna watch it live???? http://kpopflash.net/lq-stream/ it begins in 30 mins i think!!!! but boa will perform at the end..

EDIT
backstage!

lmao i love joonki's english :roflmao she's so cutie, love her long haaaiiiir

^those look like questions from international fans. problem is that those fans might not have understood her reply in korean....

^lol yeah thats true XD but she only said thanks though :P international fans can send messages to artists through kbs :D

^Thats cool.:D:D just if i asked question i wouldn't understand her reply.:P

HAHA..she did so well. I saw it live. and I was so surprised to see her in the long hair. but wow, she's really petite.

^I'm older and shorter than her:P

perfomance was amazing
and her hair:heart she's looking hawt !!

Any BoA's performance hasn't bored me as much as this. Choreography is a huge disappointment. I appreciate she was focusing on singing, but everyone rather wants to watch good dancing.
Maybe she's just tired... But I still don't feel it.

However, she looked like a goddess in that long blonde hair!

EDIT: screencaps from Music Bank - preview of album photos (the first 4)

I really enjoyed the performance and I'm starting to like the song more! BoA DNA :heart
Long hairrrrr :luv2

i dunno if she was appearing fierce or just tired. I also sensed that as she promoted HURRICANE VENUS, she smiled less and stuff. the ending high notes werent as strong as well. poor BoA..

HV >>>>>>>>>> C&P

i don't like C&P, the song remind me of kuu type of song...

will watch the performance later...

YES! her hair! it's such an upgrade omg! she looks so sexy! now, about the performance.. it really didn't impress me much. i'm not sure if it's the choreography or just the way she's doing the choreography, it lacks power, it's like Namie's dancing. i hope she'll do better next time.

Looks like BoA decided to go for a female look again :laugh Bout time

Perfect vocals. This should have been the look for Hurricane Venus....now she's a dye job away from being flawless again.

"Big Yellow Taxi" maybe? That's what I was thinking of:


Especially starting at 0:30 here.

^ Yes, it's very similar. "Ooh la la" parts sound exactly the same. I also heard comparisons to George Michael's Faith.

I kno, right! The whole time I was watching her talk and perform, I just kept thinking wow she's looking tiny, especially her booty and legs. I don't think that outfit helped tho, it kinda emphasized her petite-ness. But she still looks gorge, luv the hair now! Not even gonna comment on the new song cause.... :no

I'm so surprised there are actually people that preferred Hurricane Venus! It's one of my least favourite songs from the album and actually had me thinking I might not like her Korean comeback at all. It's so funny : P

So the bottom line is....BoA with short hair + heavy makeup looks like an old hag....

Give BoA 5 inches on her hair and she's suddenly gorgeous and 10 years younger 0_o

^ correct... different styling makes a huge difference :yes

Oh BoA....her hair tonight....one step forward...half a step back :( Oh well.

Like the new song...I wouldn't really like it all that much if there wasnt just one verse that I was totally in love with lol I can live with the rest of the song.

Her dancing did seem a little namie-ish...meh.

I do like Hurricane Venus over it though.

Hurricane Venus totally blows Cut & Paste outta the water.

Today's Music Core

definitely better than yesterday :yes

i loved her hair in music core :heart
but i think i'm the only one XD it really suit her

^so did i actually.

I think I have to get used to her recent diva attitude image :laugh ;)

loved todays performance :luv2 :luv2 the choreo reminds me abit of rain's hip song in some parts :laugh and omggg more snippets of the MV!!!!! it looked really cool :luv2

and i love the cheeringg!! boa jjang~~

I definitely prefer HURRICANE VENUS haha..but i love the beat and atmosphere in Copy & Paste. I actually loved it when she had this gorgeous side fringe while promoting HV...it was so stylish.

i think the problem with the choreography is there really isn't enough dancing. there's a lot of hand movements that just seem kind of pointless and then some really simple dance moves. BoA is capable of much more than that. she should get this choreographer back lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12FcZ8-QvlQ
the performances are okay so far, nothing is really impressing me (except her looks lol she's so hot) but i still am in love with the song.

Breaking News:


In all seriousness....she had a lot of energy in tonights performance.....keep it up. Her hair is so hit and miss all the time....

Lol that thing on her head looks like a giant finger :laugh

Is this even true?

no this is hair joke :P

Personally, i think maybe she's going a little simpler in her dance moves is maybe so that she doesn't wear herself out way too much. We all remember a bit back when she looked real tired all the time. She has SO much to do recently, so maybe she made the dances a little easier to make things a little easier on her own body.

oh, and i really liked this new performance. and about her hair.... the way it curls over in front like that. I'm pretty sure that was a popular thing in the 40s or 50s... maybe 30s. I know I commonly have seen it in some real old photos of my grandmother and in movies that take place in those days.

She's improving with every performance... Stage looked amazing tonight.

That's why it reminds me of Namie Amuro.

*yawns*

I love tonight's performance! She looked happy and that's all that matters

Anybody knows the correct album name tag for 2 new tracks? -.-

yeah me too. except BoA has more than one facial expression when performing live. the new performance was a lot better, she looked less stiff.

Amazing performance. Copy & Paste sounds amazing <3

Ystar POWER MUSIC LIVE

performance on inki was LOVE :luv2 i love it that she can smile and be fierce at the same time! im not so sure bout the hair though =/

awesome! Dangerous is an amazing song. wish it was the title track for the repackage, Copy&Paste is not working for me sadly -_-

Ooo I like Copy and Paste! I'm kind of glad I haven't boughten Hurricane Venus so now I might get this re-release~

She looks like she's enjoying it on that TV live, unlike her usual dead fish dancing around feel on Japanese shows.

boa is feautured in Inkigayo mag! no scans though only pics :(
