^a nah you are not the only one disliking it. I like it, but I#m not crazy about it either. She is an korean idol after all - there probably is a certain pressure to stay relevant - but I guess there is also always a new image. Hurrican Venus's GAME was more also more playful than the title track.

It's not about being older and do fun stuff. It's about trying to catch a much younger audience. It doesn't feel right, imho, from the point of view of a fan who has being cheering on her evolution as an artist whose music has been slowly, but increasingly, becoming more mature. We can tell which kind of music sounds mature and which doesn't. Nega Dola doesn't sound mature and I'm a bit sad about it. But, as I said, just a bit, cause I loved from the first listen and I love the MV cause it's refreshing for her image (even though it's not new for kpop).

I confess that I have this odd feeling that BoA should be leading kpop revolution, like, "soundwise"? Haha instead of following trends. But realistically I know she has to follow trends, not only to keep herself relevant, but more importantly: to keep herself profitable.

(just to go back on the "one can be older and still be fun" matter: lookbook sounds both mature and fun imho)

maybe this is the "GAME" from this era. I'm hoping for a more "serious", different vibe for the title track. but I'm kind of feeling the song right now so for me it's okay.

''The singer is set to release her first mini album “One Shot, Two Shot” soon. Her new music will become available digitally on February 20 at 6 p.m. KST while the physical albums will go on sale on February 21. “One Shot, Two Shot” is set to be a deep house track that showcases BoA’s captivating and awe-inspiring charisma.

SM Entertainment had shared a photo of the singer, along with a link to her official website, at midnight KST that hinted at great things to come.''

Pics of the CDs and booklets for the new Japanese album.
The booklets are different for all three versions.





















Big thanks to Kinot from Baidu for the pics.

The new album is so good! I couldn’t care less about Nega Dola it’s as boring as everything kpop is.

This is a fantastic, fun, quirky little pop record. Honestly, this is probably my favorite album of hers already. I don't look to BoA for artistry, but even then, her albums were kind of scattershot. This one is cohesive and fully-formed. Great job, BoA!

Love the new album! It's very different from her previous album. Not surprised about chart and sale though. :/
