BoA's Thanks To (included in the album)

Quote:

To me, the 5 years of blank space before I released my 6th album were times during which I experienced pain and loneliness that had to be endured alone, and more priceless than anything, times I was able to look back at myself and rebuke myself and come to accept many things.

All my fans who supported me and waited for me even in the long wait, Jumping BoA..
I hope that the loneliness of that waiting can be filled through this album.

Teacher Lee Sooman, who gave me much help and affection, all SM employees, warm company colleague artists.. I sincerely thank you.

And my biggest mental support in the world, who is none other than my family.. I love you so much..

The composers who gave me good songs and a lot of help for my album.. You worked so hard in order to achieve high quality. Thank you.

Faith, hope, love, pain.. those whom I love, my fans, Jumping BoA, family, friends, colleagues........
And many more people, I want to share with through this album

Who cannot be exchanged for anything, Who always sustains me from the inside
Lord....... Please continue to lead me in the future…

Lastly.. Although the period of 10 years can be a long amount of time if it is said to be a long amount, and a short amount of time if it is said to be a short amount, I will become a BoA who reflects on the past for the sake of the future which is longer than the time I've raced until now and who is always thankful for the present and who always dreams of the future.

Thanks to the Uri BoA, again!

Awwww! I have much more admiration and respect for BoA now than ever before. She's truly an inspiration and very humble.
I really enjoyed her album. My favorite tracks were:
-GAME (my favorite)
-Stand By
-Let Me
-Romance (this song is outstanding)

I'm completely in love with this album! I think they did an amazing job all-around (music, photo shoot, ect.).

I can't stop listening to it. @.@

Entry Title: It's BoA ^^
Date: 2010-08-05 11:31:00PM

Hello. This is BoA.
Have you been well?

I have released an album in Korea after a very very long time.
And on top of that… this year is my 10 year anniversary…ㅋㅋ (I’m feeling shy…)

Because I have done a lot of overseas promotions the past few years
it must have been a disappointing image to my Korean fans,
but even though it was difficult I think it was a time during which
I learned and experienced a great deal, and was able to musically mature a lot…

And so for this 6th album I tried expressing the many things I learned during that time…
I worked hard writing songs, and because I’m now 25 years old I also tried singing sad and emotional ballads ^^ ㅎㅎ
I am going to perform album promotions that are worthy of how long you have waited for me.

Starting tomorrow I will be appearing on Korean TV for the first time in a while ^^ How fun!!
To those people who come to the music programs…
You are the first people who will see the new track?! Anticipate it~~~

This 2010 I really will race harder than ever for all of you. ^^
I ask for much anticipation and support! ^^

It's a really good album. Better than I expected and I was expecting alot.

Implode is my favorite and is probably one of her best songs ever. Only song I don't like is M.E.P

It reminds me of one of those old movies where you see 2 lovers slow dancing on a balcony under the moonlight.. weird I know lol. It's a really sweet sounding song

SHINee's LUCIFER MV was uploaded by SME at the midnight/hour later (9/10AM in Korea)? So we should get HV this time too...

I really LOVE the album, I hope I can get my hands on the physical copy soon, I love Korean packaging. <3 My fav tracks are GAME, HURRICANE VENUS, Dangerous, Let me, Implode and Romance. I've always found her previous Korean albums to have a lot of filler tracks, I love how this album has a lot of strong tracks.

It's kinda sad that BoA is much more interesting in Korea than Japan (imo anyway) I don't see why she can't make this kind of music and image in Japan.

Am I the only one that doesn't get a Christmas/winter feel from Romance? I get a really old music kind of feeling. It reminds me so much of Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra and I could picture like a couple slow dancing with a bunch of Italian lights around~ haha

I really love it. *o*

^ I have the same... It's just jazzy for me, not wintery at all. Beautiful piece of music which made me cry. :heart

@armophose: I've honestly never heard any of Frank Sinatra's music even though i do know both his name and Dean Martin's. I'm more familiar with stuff like The Beatles, Beach Boys, Elvis, The Temptations etc. I love a lot of stuff from the 60s, 70s and 90s.

Oh BoA is so beautiful in those pictures.

I can't actually get over how much I love Hurricane Venus.

oh my. :luv2
And the B sign looks exactly the same as her tattoo!

How come Korean album have such great design but the Japanese ones looks like craps?

^because SM cares about BoA, not like avex :laugh

Both j-pop and k-pop have advantages and disadvantages :laugh (I said the same thing earlier :laugh)

This album was probably spawned by God himself

BoA looks gorgeous in the new pics :d
I'm liking her new tattoo on her wrist

Because they make little money off the CDs so they need to try to sell more....and Japanese CDs dont look like crap tyvm and they are higher quality and less gimmicky imo
