[love in music]

Does anyone else the VALENTI album as much as me?? Songs like Moon & Sunrise, Discovery, JEWEL SONG, Kiseki, flower are really soothing and nice

She looks so sleepy in those pictures.

She did a street interview with KBS. It hasn't aired yet though. But here are some fancams.

She also did an interview with Newsen. Here's Part 1. She talks about the SBS preformance and her US activities.

Spoiler:

▲ It's been a long time since you've stood on the stage in Korea.

- It was a lot of fun, but I was nervous. It felt great since it's been a long time I've been broadcast in Korea. I hate it but I still get very nervous. On the stage in Korea, I get the most nervous. There are a lot of expectations... Always getting a lot of attention puts on the pressure.

▲ You're advancing into the U.S. market. What are your thoughts?

- Actually my activities so far have been brief. U.S. activities won't be for another few months. I think I'm in an adapting period. I'm working the most at studying English.

▲ What kind of method does U.S. activities use?

- It's different from Korea because there are a lot of club promotions. At first I thought, "Why do I have to go to these?" but now I'm used to it. I almost never performed in clubs in Korea and Japan.

▲ Billlboard's club charts response was good.

- First of all, I feel good. My song became played a lot in the clubs. Many club dance songs also climb up in the Billboard main chart. But I think this is still very insufficient. You can't hold onto the ranking. To work with a famous producer is an honor for a celebrity.

▲ To be on the Billboard club chart is publicity. What do you think?

- To be honest, I didn't expect "Eat You Up" to be so popular. It has almost no existing public relations. Of course, Asian-Americans and Americans have a lot of power. But I'm sure the results were more than my expectations.

When I first went to Japan, I spent one year there. I expect it will take more time to succeed in the United States. I'm not hurrying. If I don't get results in a relatively short period, then I won't be frustrated or disappointed. I want to slowly go about it my way.

Our priority is putting my name in the Billboard 100. I want to advance to the top.

▲ Aren't the U.S. activities difficult?

In Asia, there is a responsibility to try new things. But in the U.S. there are many rookies. U.S. activities have a wide range. It's not like Korea or Japan where they know BoA. I'm a rookie.

The language is specifically difficult. Memorizing the lyrics is very hard. In the U.S. entertainment industry, studying English is just one task.

▲ This is the first time a Korean singer is advancing into the U.S. major market. Are you a role model for Asian singers?

Maybe the most famous, but not a role model. There are different musical styles. [T/N: I felt I couldn't translate the last part of BoA's answer well enough, so I'll just leave the original text here. If anyone could help, I'd be so grateful!] 롤모델을 삼기보단 보아가 가진 모습 그대로 선보이겠다. 물론 미국에 맞는 음악이나 안무 변화는 있겠지만 기존의 보아에서 조금 더 다듬어졌다고 보는 편이 좋다.

it would sorta be logical reasoning cause I would get the single if it had EYU on it.

Maybe her company just felt like throwing the song on there? It's not like it was extra work or anything, and it might attract buyers too.

[Sundae]

There is no EYU single so some people would definitely want that song. The mp3 I got from Itunes wasn't in good quality. The one on Amazon was better but I would prefer one ripped from a CD.

[Sasha]

2. Title 未定 feat. Crystal Kay & VERBAL (m-flo)

this one is fake for sure.

[Sundae]

It's was said that they been getting together to make music back last summer, but I thought they put the song aside to focus on her American debut. It's also in JBook. JBook says that it's a Bloodshy and Avant track.

Fakeee. XD There's no way Eat You Up would be there, totally different record companies. D:

LOL, as someone already said SM & AVEX work as one when it comes to BoA's career in Japan. Eat you up was announced on her AVEX website as it was available digitally in Japan. Still it could be that the tracklist is fake, we'll see soon enough.

[Sundae]

^SM Entertainment USA is BoA's record company for the US. SM and Avex work in conjunction with BoA's career in Japan.

Did anyone notice that BoA is back up on the Itunes Dance Chart? This time not because of her fans. So congrats to her!!!

[Mirai Noah]

BoA looks so pretty in those new photos!

[Sundae]

BoA jumped from 15 to 12 on the BillBoard Dance Charts.

[kawaii otaku]

^but the charts have not updated ...

am i missing something? 0_o

[love in music]

cool i wish she would be #1..

[GRACE]

Verbal would be cool, loved The Love Bug and Some day One day, but Crystal Kay...? This better be fake >.>...
