BoA is to join a Musical with other SM Entertainment members such as: KangTa (H.O.T.), CSJH The Grace, and DBSK! It was stated on 2007/12/05 by Mr. SM that they are planning to produce a stage musical for next year. These artists are currently SM Entertainment’s biggest stars. They hope to follow in Bada, Ok Ju Hyun, Kim Tae Woo, and Andy’s success in musicals and ride out their popularity even more.
“Xandu”, a broadway musical is an “affectionate send-up” of the flop 80’s movie that starred Olivia Newton-John, is most likely to be their first show. Hopefully all ten of them will be doing it together [OMG… imagine Junsu and BoA romance for the musical?!]. Though they have not completely licensed the deal, they are still looking for a mid sized theatre that seats 600-800 people. Their only luck are such theatres like ‘M Theater’ in Sejong Center of Performing Arts or ‘The Towel Theatre’ at Seoul Arts Center. Yoo Hee Sung was asked to handle the location of the stadium, but since all major stadiums are booked, it seems like fans will have to wait till 2009! Sources say that SM Entertainment liked the idea of the musical though because the music centering around it was very pop and catchy.
Let’s hope they’re right … SM Entertainment has been looking for diversity in all kinds of ways. From modeling, voice acting, OST singing, etc… now musicals. Mr. SM has already mentioned upon several occasions to have BoA branch out into musicals, but it’s only now he’s taking real steps. He’s already bought small theatres around Korea (about four of them to be exact) so now the next step are soon coming together.
So, you know what this means folks! BoA’s going back to Korea next year! I KNEW IT! I had a feeling 2008 would be her comeback year with all her pre-comeback events in Korea lately. But to my dismay, this has been followed by mixed reviews though; CJ Entertainment’s head of performance, Kim Byung Suk, said that this will be a great opportunity to widen his branches in the market even further. But he also mentioned that the success of the musical depends on how well the singers can act and sing/stage presence, the scripts, and the stage rather than the popularity of the star or composer.

So after a long time I decided to do a post on BOA myself ^^
Let’s do the warm up with BOA’s latest CF ~!
BoA - Toshiba W55T CF
So we never got a chance to talk about BOA’s latest single “loose Your” mind but if you have noticed the song is even in the background song of the CF so we take advantage and squeeze the MV post here too ^^
BTW .. is there anyone else out there who has no flipping clue what in the world did she say in the CF????? *looking around* and if you are thinking watching a 3 min long behind the scene of the CF would give you a hint you are so wrong my friends^^
BoA - Toshiba W55T CF(The Making)
If you have not watched BOA’s latest MV here comes your chance .. please note Japanese took away all the videos from youtube couple days ago .. we got lucky someone reloaded it again!
BOA - Lose your Mind [MV]
So back to the business …
after that literally failed “Love Letter” single, the concept of the new “Loose your mind” single went on as what any other entertainment company in his right mind would do! …. that is to take the concept on sexy gears! right?
But you sometimes think … that SM guy who looses control over his dropped jaw with that smirky nasty smile whenever interviewer brings out BOA’s name .. would at least care this much for the girl in return of all these cashes BOA brought over the years (only if it was enough to make it to pay SM’s phone and electricity bills) at least save her image in the public eye! Nah my friends … Lee Soo Man proved to me once again that he is no different than a stereotypical label company!
Now .. it’s not much of her image (make up and dress itself) here on this MV that brings up the question of this “new-whatever-you-call-it” image … actually let me be honest! This is only if we exclude a little tiny part of the wardrobe! (in my opinion whoever suggested that gray panties in contrast to the all over black dress … did SM GOOD … cuz it makes even your brain to stare it’s soul damn right at the hang of her crotch the whole time) .. it’s more that camera’s zooms is 90% time FOCUSED on the butt area for mother of heaven and that is that Lap-dancing piece that got me unease!
BOA’s signature This is our holiday special to those fanatics living across the oceans. This is for them to sit down practice BOA’s signature and draw it for themselves on her new single as a special Xmass gift! (am I too mean?)
As our BOA’s expert sLaVe informed me this single will be officially releases on 2007/12/12 and it isn’t like any other Christmas singles that BoA has released over these past 7 years! wow! *i guess we got the idea already!* so we too can’t help but wonder how the ranking will turn out this time! sLaVe is also hoping the way it goes BoA doesn’t (get forced) to turn into the next Koda Kumi *outch*
Hopefully this single will do better than what her last 2 singles did … If you are new to BOA, those last two singles as i recall both landed at somewhere in 17th position in ranking charts (correct me if i am wrong) I was corrected by our expert that LOVE LETTER actually won an award in Japan and it made it to the top ten for the first few weeks, then sank on to 17 ……Her other single, SWEET IMPACT, peaked at number 5 in Oricon. It didn’t do as good as her others, but it still made top 10 oricon. So anyways, I bet if this one fails too (in a sense that it won’t make it as far as sale rankings that BOA is known for) .. no matter if thunder blows south Korea apart in half, earth quakes sinks Japan under the ocean, Jesus appears in the between, we win the war in Iraq, Brittany spear gets pregnant for the third time … SM will defiantly pulls the “acting” card this time for REAL! Oh btw that Ballet story of SM’s new motion project that poeple been chewing their nails thinking it was gonna be BOA’s piece actually ended up going to GO ARA ppffew!
So this “Lose your mind” song itself as sLaVe explained me talks about boys not knowing what girls want, so she’s getting bored. She wants someone that can make her wild “Stimulate me with a Wild Beat… I want you more and more into my dreams”. Aigoo, stimulation around Xmass time!! wow that is unheard of!!! This just tells me how important this single’s ranking is to them (hey! but I can be wrong)~!
2nd cover of the Single
sLaVe: The other songs on this single will be ‘SMILE AGAIN’ (the OST she was asked to write and sing for a prestigious Japanese Drama that has been running almost as long as the American, “Days Of Our Lives”).
If sLaVe’s words are too hard to digest … here i am to save you ^^
Folks, it’s a DOG movie! … BOA was reported that she is super happy singing the track song of this movie with the main character a dog! She explained that is because she loves dogs too ^^ so turned out the DOg movie is for something else .. when i heard this one i felt like the song is so different than what they normally sing for a Dog Movie *why do i keep emphasizing the DOG part?* LOL!

sLaVe: Artists of one of Korea’s biggest Entertainment companies, SM Entertainment, that is responsible for artists that have started/made the Hallyu bigger around Asia, now are back for their biannual album, this time releasing ‘SM TOWN 2007 Winter’ compilation.
Their title track, ‘Only Love’ deals with children who have been neglected and they need to be loved. It has a joint chorus with everyone singing. It’s now being used as the theme song for Korea’s Children Foundation and 5% of the album’s profits will be going to this foundation. I’m glad to see Boa finally joined with the rest of the company as last year she had to do her scenes separately from the rest and wasn’t in the groups shots.
A total of 12 songs will be:
01. 사랑 하나죠 (Only Love) - SMTOWN
02. 12월 27일 (On December 27) - BoA
03. Evergreen - 동방신기 (TVXQ!)
04. 첫눈이 와 (First Snow) - Super Junior
05. We Wish You A Merry Christmas & Feliz Navidad - 천상지희 더 그레이스 (TSZX the Grace)
06. Winter Wonderland - Kangta
07. Love Melody - 소녀시대 (Girls’ Generation)
08. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas - 현진 (Hyunjin)
09. 눈꽃이 날리면 (When snow scatters) - 추가열 (Chu Gayeol)
10. Oh Holy night - 장리인 (Zhang Liyin)
11. 유년의 크리스마스 (Christmas of Childhood) - 송광식 (Song Gwangsik)
[Bonus Track] 12. 여행기 (TRAVELING) - 동방신기 (TVXQ!)
ShenYue!: WOW! SM Town Winter 2007 MV is Out already!
after that half-ass MV they got together after all that we complained last fall for SM town Summer 2007 .. which it turned out to be from bunch of behind the scene vidoes pic editorial they got randomly edited and called it SMTOWN “SUMMER” MV this time not only they are on time .. but took time and actually filmed each of these people on separate shots .. check it out~!
If you know SMTown MVs (they are my favorites by the way) .. they normally get all these people sit in one set and film them while lip-synching .. now only the super popular ones *cough BOA+Kangta + etc… cough* if they are lucky get a single shot of a wink or a smile .. but this time poor SM people had ….
…. 13 suju guys + 9 sushi guys Ops! girls + 5 DBSK(how did they manage to find these guys still alive and breathing) + 4 the Grace (wonder how their Japanese invasion plan went .. the way SM didn’t give them much timing here and they seems depressed i guess we get the idea T__T) + that women ayummi (which by the way what is she up to these days? planning another set of plastic surgery?) + BOA (finding this one free is quite a headache) + that Kangta guy (dragged from China! how did the drama rating go?) + wait a second hmmm where did that always-present Isak women go? I hope i didn’t leave anyone out ….
… on separated shots and dual shots also all at the same time in one place in one day??!!!
Ya know, even in crappy clinical psychology lab i work for we couldn’t find a single day and time to get all staff together to take a single shot .. we ended up photoshopping the individual pictures to put them in one frame O.O!!! Seriously, Kuddo’s to whoever lost-soul was in charge of this project ~! wonder what rehabilitation center he/she/them is/are spending these days at! SM have to give this guys and the editor(s) for taping up all these tapes triple bonuses!!!
you know Lee Soo Man? it’s cold and around Xmass time?!!?? *puppy eyes*

[Okay ya’ll, I know this is a hot topic right now, and you guys are probably sick of reading about it. But just because I actually have a life and wasn’t able to write, DOES NOT MEAN I will just trash this article.]
Alright ya’ll, “Do you wanna talk, Do you wanna play, Do you wanna love?…”
ANYBAND, made up of Korean talents such as BoA, DBSK’s Junsu, Epik High’s Tablo, and Jin BoRa have a new song! Looks like my dream came true (or should I say “day dream…”?)~ They finally have another song, AND they had a concert together! Not only has their two sings, ‘TPL’ and ‘PROMISE YOU’ have been topping radio charts all over the Korean nation since its release, but even the CF is still getting praise!
This makes my day every time I read about this :] Anyway, moving on to the goods:
That right, there is the inside of the ANYBAND album. Looks pretty sweet, eh? >>COVER<< >>CD<< >>1 inside good<< >>2 inside good<<
Again, I have made it easier for you (lovely lazys) to view their so-far released videos of performances, previews, and fan stuff. >>AB/SB YOUTUBE PLAYLIST 2007/11/28< - A performance of ANYBAND’s new song, ‘DAY DREAM’. Sweet sound with a sweet performance. Listen to that crowd when they hear the sound of BoA’s voice, the lyrics of Tablo, the playing of BoRa, and Junsu’s voice!
- Fancam performance of ‘PROMISE YOU’. Sorry folks, people are being stingy, and so far it’s only fancams. I doubt there’s going to be anything new with ANYBAND by the time the higher quality stuff comes out, you’re on your own! But if you really are being lazy, you can email me at uhohspaghettios346@yahoo.com and ask for updates :]
- Closer performance, but shorter, of ‘PROMISE YOU’!
- ‘A WHOLE NEW WORLD’ by BoA and Junsu! I really like the vocals. But both their English…well… let’s just say that BoA can converse better, but she needs to get her accent better! The new trainees or groups from different entertainments have such good pronunciation now, but their conversational English is horrible!
- BoA doing ‘Meri-Chri’. Hey Shen-unni, remember this song? LOL.
Again, sorry, it’s not the whole thing!
- OH hellz yeah! It’s ‘GIRLS ON TOP’. This song never gets old. My first Korean BoA song, haha. Full version!
- Oh yay, Junsu fans can watch a pretty good fancam version of his SOLO song! I love him for his vocals (Well he’s cute too, haha, they always pick on him about his cute booty!~)
- MP3 version of ‘DAY DREAM’ Not the best quality, but it’s not live…
- BoRA playing a bit of her piano bits from the ANYBAND songs.
- THREE fan versions of people playing ‘TPL’ and ‘PROMISE YOU’.
The others that were there were EPIK HIGH and DBSK (because like BoA having performances, they did too), but of course, ANYBAND was the topic. Sorry guys, I haven’t found any videos yet, just pictures :T
Looking good boys…looking good…>>EPIK HIGH<< >>LOL JaeJong’s hand can be mistaken to be somewhere else…<<
_______________________________________
It was said that during the performances, Tablo held her hand! OMG THE DRAMA CONTINUES!~ Sigh, it’s so beautiful *o*. How many suitors does she have now?!
Haven’t had enough of BoA yet? Of course you haven’t! This girl’s busy, so you can bet I’ve got a big news article coming up about her recent achievements biggrin.gif Get ready, cuz it’s gonna be a >>kick*<< in your face! [hehe, okay, maybe not, but I wanted to share that pictures haha] so here’s more >>BoA (on top) and ANYBAND (scroll down)<< pictures from that night, compiled by BOAJJANG fans.
[*I don't know what's better... the laser poon picture (Sorry, I can't find it on my computer!) of BoA during the >>2006 LOVE BUG<< performance... I just love how these pics make her poon look so hot or godly. haha]

For those waiting for the KOREAN BoA blog, please wait. I don’t want to add that onto here, I’ll put it in another post.
