Star shines brighter, Loneliness deepens
BoA tops Oricon charts with her 5th album, Made in Twenty(20)
"When I turn 30, would I be able to release an album called 'Made in thirty'? My ballad songs would have greater depth by then."
Onthe 17th, BoA has released her 5th album Made in Twenty(20), whichtopped the Weekly Oricon charts. Since her debute in 2002 all her 6albums had been topping the charts. She now ranks 2nd amongst Japanesesingers. BoA's hot wave of wind has only begun blowing over in Japan.(lol at that sentence! ha! Cheesey)
Her success story will be to be written on the the text books of Japanese High School for 2nd year English.
BoA who is not very comfortable being interviewed in person, is met up with the journalist through e-mail.
Peoplearound her ask about the significance in the album's title. "I guessit's because I've been a singer since I was so young. People seemsurprised when I tell them of my age. They would react somethig like'Is BoA 20 already?'"
"The thought of trying to part with myimage as a young girl, which is better known to the general public,never really occured to me. Instead, I try to expand the mature side ofme through a more natural transition."
This album contains varietyof genres such as dance music with Electronica as base, ballad, RnB andso on. "I think it is important to deliver trendy music, but it is moreimportant to pick music that suits me. That way, I can approach thefans with more easiness."
Loneliness(孤獨) is her biggest worry.
"Iget really lonely when I'm in Japan. The best way to deal with this isto visit my fan sites. As much as how curious my fans are about mywelfare, I'm curious about my fans too. When I do visit, there aretimes when I'm eager to leave few comments, but since I don't have anaccount..."
"To find out that there is even one devotedfan who loves you, as a singer, without any condition, gives youtremenous amount of strength and courage. I work over and over again soI don't disappoint those people."
Her other hobby iswatching Korean dramas. "I find out about popular Korean dramas andmovies through the internet. Which one did I enjoy the most recently?'Couples (Drama starring Kim Jung Eun)'. Korean dramas are availablefor renting in Japanese video shops."
BoA attracts fans with herpowerful performances on stage. Her Japanese tour for her new album isscheduled from March to April, though there is something to beapprehensive about. "After I had injured pelvis ligament (骨盤靭帶) inFukuoka 2005, leg injuries became quite frequent. I haven't been ableto dance properly for 6 months now."
"When I sing live on stage,I get this strength without really knowing how. How's it like to singwhile dance at the same time? It's difficult, of course. I practicesinging while running on the treadmill to increase breathingcapacity(肺活量)."
HeroJaejoong of TVXQ is BoA's best celebrityfriend. BoA calls him as 'Sense Jaejoong'. "He appears to be quiet anddoesn't really seem like a friendly person on television broadcasts,but he actually has a great sense of humour, it's beyond anyone'simagination. He is also a very pleasant guy"
BoA is also getting ready to transform into an actor. What do you think is the appeal of acting?
"Whenyou're a singer, there are many situations where you only get to workwith one other person. In contrast, there are a lot of people involvedin acting job and I think it's cool how people have to co-operatethroughout the process just for one production. I would only be one ofmany staffs, wouldn't I?"
What kind of advice do you want to give to those singers planning their debute overseas?
"Itis essential to know the language of the country. One other thing toremember is to be never late for any appointments in the business ."

I don't fear decline.
While everyone has been congratulating BoA on her recent success, she mentions about her feet conditions instead.
"Iwon't be able to dance for 6 months. In process of preparing for my 5thJapanese album, my feet began to ache really badly. I've recieved a MRIexamination, and was told to rest for developing inflammation(炎症) in mytoe. My 5th album is already out and have concert scheduled fromMarch..But I'm a lot better now.'
Last week BoA has received agood news. Made In Twenty(20) was no.1 on the weekly Oricon charts.Since her debute, which was 6 years ago, she has set a record forhaving all her 5 albums in the no.1 charts. BoA has been placed 2ndbelow Hamasaki Ayumi (8 albums), along with other prominent femaleartists such as Amuro Namie, Misia, Kuraki Mai charting below BoA. Sheis ranked in tie with Kinki Kids.
Despite her numerous no.1s, she is surely having different feelings of achievement this time.
"Forthe 6 years working in Japan, the most difficult thing was to keeptensions up constantly. It was important that I keep practising until Iam satisfied. I can exude confidence and presence only when there hasbeen enough practice. I like that feeling."
She was only in herteens when the single 'ID: Peace B' was released, now she has grown toa Japan's big star who has released total of 21 singles and 12 albums(including remix, best of albums) so far. Her response to all this was," Well, I haven't changed much since my debute, except that I've lostsome weight." However, she is left with a question that concerns hermusic. It's time for her to develop her own style of music, her fansnow have higher expectations.
[*interesting note: Proper translationfor this last sentence would be, "Fans' expectations are high, theywill no longer be satisfied with 기성복 like music". The interviewer usesthe word 기성복(pre-made clothing,旣成服) to describe her music in the past.I think he is implying that her music had been generic and lacking inpersonal style.]
"Although I don't write most of my music, itis true that I've been singing with the emotions that are my own. If Ifailed to convey those emotions, I probably have not grown enough tohold my own philosophy and life experieces into my music. But I amstill growing and one day, I really believe people will be able tolisten to real 'BoA music'."
After her success, there hasbeen a boom of many Korean female singers trying to follow up BoA'ssuccessful career. None of them proved to be a real 'Second BoA'. Her response to all this was that you have to become the 'first of yourself' instead trying to become the second of anyone. BoA has indeed been successful but it doesn't mean that she has no worries herself.
"Idon't have any fears of going through any declines in my career. It isinevitable when you've went through lengths of training and havereached your peak. I think it is a senior's (先輩) duty to pass downtheir top position to the juniors (new comers,後輩). It is also a naturalflow to do so."
She has also planned for a new Korean albumin 2 years this year. She will also start acting. Some fans aresceptical on her new challenge, but BoA feels firm about starting heracting career. "If I am afraid of criticisms, I won't be able tochallenge anything new." Says BoA, who always seemed like a young girlis now a grown up.
She is now 20 years old. She has made manyachievements, but still has many things to achieve in the future. Asthe interview proceeded, she showed a full confidence in herself. Her'gutsy-ness(?)' probably won't change for the next 10 years. Havingsaid that, she smiled and displayed her last gutsy-ness for theinterview.
"The reason I gave up on going to university was thatI didn't want to loose my sincerity towards music. Chances will comelater. Hard-working women are always perceived to me as being beautifuland charismatic. Even if I'm not married after 10 years, I'm confidentthat I'll have a wonderful life as a single. I have my music with me."

No.1 on Oricon Charts for One Week
Singer Koda Kumi, who released her album "Black Cherry" on January 4, held the No.1 spot on the charts for a whooping three weeks. For three weeks, no singer in Japan could take her off the No.1 spot. On the 17th of Janauary, this all changed. BoA's latest album, MADE IN TWENTY(20), which was released on the 17th, topped the Weekly Oricon Charts and held her spot at No.1 for one whole week. The three week No.1 parade was abruptly cut off by our beloved BoA and has held the No.1 spot for a whole week. Koda Kumi, who was on the No.1 spot, sold a total of 57,804 albums, 20,000 more than the second place holder. But now with BoA at the No.1 spot, there is a high chance that she will beat the unbeatable Koda Kumi.
As a foreign singer in the large Japanese Music market, BoA is proving her popularity once again. Let's just hope that she holds this spot for weeks to come.

BoA Named #2 Singer in Japan in Respect to Sales
Upon rising to the No.1 spot on the Oricon Charts for the 5th time with her five albums, BoA has been named the second best singer of Japan in respect to sales. Beating Japan's top singers who have set the record of topping charts four times such as Amuro Namie and Utada Hikaru, BoA has been named the second best singer of Japan. This is indeed a honor considering the fact that BoA is a foreign singer in the Japanese market. Just behind Japan's top singers, Kinki Kids, Hamasaki Ayumi, and Hikaru Kenzi, BoA is not far from beating them as well. With the continued support from her fans, this is a feat not far from being accomplished.

BoA Planning to Enter Drama Arena
Korean pop singer BoA, who has captured the hearts of fans across the world with her dance and music is planning to reveal yet a new side of BoA to her fans. SM Entertainment announced that BoA is planning on entering the Korean drama arena this year and are trying to decide which drama will best suit BoA and be a good starting role in the acting business. Although SM has not made any official decisions or future planning for this, they are very determined to put BoA in the Korean drama market, but also being careful not to make a mistake and take an unsuitable role, as many other Korean artists have done in the past. We hope to see BoA on TV every week sometime this year.

BoA's New Tastebuds: Start with Beer and End with Soju
BoA, who has recently reached the minimum age to legally drink in Korea and Japan has stated that she drinks on the Japanese show "Nanai-Size" in response to the question "Now that your twenty, do you drink alcohol?" She stated that she drank moderately and enjoys starting with beer and ending with the most loved alchohol drink in Korea: Soju, specifically "Cham Ee Sul" or "참이슬". BoA also stated that her ideal boyfriend would be of tall stature because she is somewhat short. Let's just hope BoA doesnt enjoy soju too much.
