Anyone see the thing to get Hurricane Venus trending on Twitter?

Here.

Not for me, unfortunately... But I don't know what has been going on with the digital release stuff - maybe it's only for Korea, I think...

Hehe!

Looks pretty cool! I love how its a normal sized CDs and not one of those things where you have a godawful time finding shelf space for. Does it look like the title is metallic? Its supposed to be white on the cover.

That title definitely looks metallic and it also looks like a slip cover, I love those. She's so cute. :heart

Korea is a day ahead of the west, right? So that means the album is going to be released today?

^yes, in GMT+1 we'll get it this afternoon

Yay! Hopefully, I'll wake up to find it uploaded (yeah, it's like 4:22am and I haven't gone to bed so I'm going to be sleeping the rest of this morning and noon away lol).

Some korean cds are too crazy in shape to store with normal CDs, it's great the packaging is decent. :D

^ikr?:laugh sometimes they're too big or too small XD
i like the package this time <3

She's so beautiful that hurts.
Packaging looks incredible - why I can't buy this? T^T'

EDIT: We already know what songs she's going to perform in Music Bank on 6th August - DANGEROUS and HURRICANE VENUS! :)

oh my.

And her immature story looks like this:

oh god, she's so crazy!!:laugh

Oh looks awesome and I agree about the Korean packaging. Many of the Chinese CDs I get also have odd packaging as well.
So instead of using a CD rack to store mine, I use book shelfs.:P

And BoA looks so gorgeous and natural in this picture. I love it.

good luck BoA with your come back korean album..
i'm playing HURRICANE VENUS on repeat today, already hear it almost 50 times today...i love this so much...

BoA's now in the Top Korean Music Sellers on YA. Only in #8 spot, but still better than nothing I guess. Still, I guess it's more so real official Korean charts in Korea that truly matter. Keep hoping it gets #1.

^well, don't care about YA sales, it doesn't count on hanteo chart:yes and that's like the most important! (and the one who makes singers to win on music shows)

^Whats the GAON charts then? Just curious since thats what charts its says their stuff counts on. Also, that sucks. I thought buying my Korean CDs from them did count. Oh well. I ordered my copies and as long as I get the album I couldn't care otherwise if there's nothing I can do about it.

^it's another chart, but not as important as hanteo:yes
but as long as we support her, it doesn't matter, right?
i'm waiting for a repackage to buy the album ! i really want one x_x

^Thanks for clearing that up. Oh, and I ordered this one, but I'll most likely buy the repackage as well. I did the same for the American album. Bought BOA and then bought the Deluxe as well later when it released.

23:18 in korea right now ~
the album should be out very very soon!!!:heart

The ALBUM IS OUT! SHOULD BE.

omg adorable!

oh c'mooon! even hwanhee new album is already ouuut!
we need hurricane venuuuus

Cute!

Would be cuter with subtitles though. XD

I've seen only Super Junior and SHINee's videos translation for a while...

Never change Kyuhyun. <3

BoANOSS is translating videos right now.

All those PVs were released at japanese editions of her korean albums. I guess the only PV not released at DVD is "Sara" :think

EDIT: "SARA" were released at "BoA - History of BoA 2000-2002".

f(x) Congratulatory message

and SNSD's one:


EDIT: I'm sorry for all who are hoping for album leak in next hours... I'm reading everywhere that it's going to be released at 10AM KST, it means 3 AM again in my timezone.

I haven't see all that many of her Korean PVs. I think all I've seen is Atlantis Princess, No.1, My Name, Girls On Top and the new one for Game.

I haven't seen the Atlantis Princess PV in many years though...

^ You should watch Neul (Waiting...), it's very beautiful. :)

^Is there somewhere where I can download her PVs? I have almost all her Japanese PVs and all the English ones too. I'd love the Korean ones.

^ Maybe you should search in BoAjjang Forums?

ah Atlantis Princess.. I love that song :)

Could u give me a link? i've heard of it a dozen times but never checked into it.

there you go :)
http://forums.boajjang.com/

Yes, 26th March 2008 Avex released both "My Name" and "Girls On Top" albums as "Special Edition (CD+DVD)".

"My Name" DVD: "My Name" and "My Prayer" PVs
"Girls on Top" DVD: "MOTO" and "Girls On Top" PVs

Also:

"K-POP SELECTION" DVD: "NO.1", "Atlantis Princess" and "Milky way" PVs

^Also, the No.1 PV on the L&H album DVD was the korean version for one reason or another. I have that one.

So I've decided it's never going to leak. Anyone who wants the full album will have to buy it. Oh well!

Haha...I actually wish this was the case sometimes...

It will leak soon probably. Its morning in Korea.

^and its 7pm here... only have few more hours before bed time. :P:P:P:P:P

Yeah.....I probably wont wait for it if it doesnt come out by midnight. Theres an exam tomorrow.

When it gets too late at night if i try to listen to anything that isnt REALLY soft and relaxing like my POTION Final Fantasy or something I just get a bad headache, so there'd be no point in me staying up real late to download Hurricane Venus album, as I wouldn't listen to it til tomorrow anyways.

It has too leak soon....>< Dying with anticipation

it 2 AM and I am so tired of waiting xD Screw it...I am going to sleep xD Sorry BoA

Lucky me it's only 5:40 PM here and I stay up most of the night. Hopefully the album will be addicting and I can have some more stuff on repeat tonight!

waiting patiently........ its only 4:42 PM here so hopefully it will
be out soooon!!!!

LOL apparently its coming out at 10 AM in Korea? Where did that info come from?

Listening to Dangerous now!! It sounds hott omgg
Wow, M.E.P (My Electronic Piano) surprised me.. her voice is so sweet.
"Let me" is really good so far too.. THIS is the type of music she needs to keep doing.

http://www.dosirak.com/AlbumDetail/f...um_id=80165040

About to listen now!

God.. listening to 한별 makes me feel like crying. This is the BoA I missed.. she's finally back :cry

^ ..how can I listen to those songs on this site?

NEVERMIND IS OUT TO DOWNLOAD!

They're being uploaded here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=9ixb4hm4t9fyb

Adrenaline is really ****ing good too omg. I still have like 3 more songs to listen to from the album but there is seriously not a bad track so far. I need to buy this.

Full album download link:

Damn these CDs leak fast

Listening to the album right now! DANGEROUS sounds great! But it's too short! Now I understand why she's going to perform it xD

Skipping the 3 songs released before...

Dangerous - this is pretty cool but its bit short. It sounds like the song that comes out before a concert starts I think.

M.E.P - I can understand if people hate this and call it generic....but I really like it....its a sweet song and I love BoA's voice in this.

Let Me - I dunno. Its weird. Its kind of like she's trying to be Ke$ha or something. Not a favorite.

한별 (Implode) - lol. Random male voice? 0_o Her voice is nice but this song is soooo long and drawn out.

Adrenaline - its just bad. Its like the stuff from her US album again.

Ordinary Day - Its pretty good but a little boring again. Its a pretty song though

Don't Know What to Say - kind of how I feel about this song. Another beautiful song featuring BoA's voice....but just like Implode its kind of forgettable.

Romance - I like how its light but again...what's with the ballad overload on this album 0_o I'm a sucker for ballads but this is a bit much....I actually like this one though....I dont feel like BoA was serious when she sang this but thats what makes it fun

Mostly misses for me but I didnt buy the album for these tracks. At least some were good.

^ all tracks are out :)

It seems that album has its ups and downs. Let Me does nothing for me. IMPLODE BECAME MY FAVORITE BoA SONG EVER :heart
EDIT: OK, TOGETHER WITH DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY AND ROMANCE. OMG AND I THOUGHT DO THE MOTION WILL BE HER LAST SONG IN THAT STYLE! :heart

Just listened to the last song, and this album gets an A+ from me. She released one of her worst albums this year, followed by one of her best albums. I hope she doesn't do that again because IDENTITY had me all confused and gave me so many doubts. Please be more consistent BoA, and continue to release amazing albums like this!

It wasnt steallar to me....but it was better than the her last 2 albums at least. It might take a few more listens to win me over like with Hurricane Venus. I do think its good that it featured her vocals more and wasn't like....yeah she can dance.

Basically, ballads, not upbeat tracks are the strongest side of that album. I'd never, NEVER supposed BoA to sing those songs. :thumbsupx10000 for her and all people who composed those tracks I mentioned earlier. :heart HURRICANE VENUS is really the catchiest and "most succesful" off that album though, ideal song to promote that album. Only one song which I didn't like is Let Me, hope it'll grow on me.
Okay, maybe there won't be anymore a better album than Girls On Top, but HURRICANE VENUS has the second place. This is the Queen of K-pop y'all.

Can't wait for the live performances.

^ 2 days *__*

I'm really curious when MV will come out...

What surprises me about the album is there isn't one song I don't like.. that's extremely rare for me when listening to K-pop albums (even ones by my favorite artists). There's usually that ONE SONG that's so bad it makes me cringe, but there isn't one to be found on HURRICANE VENUS.

Lucky you. All of the ballads are gorgeous....just there's a bit too many and the overall slowness is overwhelming. Well I was hoping that she'd do some nice ballads again and I guess I got what I wanted. Its not really disappointing....I think I need to listen a bit more...which is going on.

Yeah, there are a lot of ballads, but at least they're beautiful, right? I'd rather a lot of beautiful ballads than a bunch of fail upbeat songs or something.

I love the album! I don't think there's too many ballads. There's a good balance of up-beat/dance tracks and ballads. Then there's an up-beat/cute song and a mid-tempo track. So it's like half-half. All the ballads have a different feel, so that's incredible!

1. Game - Eletro/pop
2. Hurricane Venus - Pop/dance
3. Dangerous - Pop/dance
4. Stand By - Typical BoA power ballad, lol
5. M.E.P (My Electronic Piano) - Up-beat/cute
6. Let Me - Pop/dance
7. Implode - Haunting acoustic ballad
8. Adrenaline - Pop/dance
9. Ordinary Day - R&B mid-tempo
10. Don't Know What To Say - Piano ballad
11. Romance - Jazzy slow-tempo

My only complaint is that the album seems short? The whole album is like 45 minutes.

Anyway, I freaking love "Implode"! The song was produced by the singer of Nell (AMAZING INDIE ROCK BAND!!). I recognized his voice while listen to the song. :heart It's such a beautiful song. It definitely feels like something Nell would release.

I just noticed 한별 (Implode) is 6:30 long, I didn't even know! I think that's how long ballads should be done, they're interesting enough so that when they're finished, it doesn't sound like they went on forever.

*cancels preorder*

but game grew on me :) i'm going to purchase that song on itunes

^Eh. That's only fair I guess. I'm still getting it for the title track, GAME, Romance, and the awesome looking packaging. I didnt preorder though....I'm asking a friend to get it for me.

i would buy just it for the awesome cover even though i'm not a fan of the songs on it but i just can't afford it right now :(

Holy crap I almost forgot, lol. Downloading now, will comment later. I need to listen to an album at least 3x before I can make an accurate judgement on whether I like it or not. :P

Has anyone here from CA been to Music Plaza in KTown? I've never been to that part of LA before and I wanna know if they have recent releases soon after they release.

I was crying during listening to Romance. For real...

Here is an full article. You can watch here a special message from BoA.

LOL I just realized that I skipped Ordinary Day when I was downloading 0_o Apparently she wrote that and Let me. I cant stand Let Me the more I listen to it. The other songs are growing on me a lot.

I may be the only one who thinks this but 로망스 (Romance) makes me think of wintertime

Just started listening to the album! I'm so happy she's back to K-Pop! I personally think her Korean and American music is so superior to her Japanese music.

I sort of got that vibe from Romance and Don't Know What to Say

I love GAME, HURRICANE VENUS and Dangerous so far~ Not really feeling Stand By. Her voice is beautiful, but I'm not really found of the melody or the arrangement.

Maybe it's because of the piano in both of them? Either way I like this feeling.

I'm almost halfway through the album, loving it!

I am in love with this album! I like it as much as I liked Identity, I'm not sure why that didn't go over so well with listeners...

On a side note, does anyone else notice or hear a slight accent in her voice? It could be because I'm used to hearing her sing in Jp and Eng, or she really does have one after singing in other languages for so many years. Her english in Game "come play with me/in my game/feel so right" is so clear to me with barely any accent. When I say accent, I mean sort of like Anna Tsuchiya and Olivia. Both the two I just mentioned sound more American than Japanese to my ears than say... Ayu/Namie/Kuu. For some reason BoA's Korean sounds different than the other K-pop artists I've listened to.

Really? 0_o Her Japanese isn't perfect and her English definitely carries an accent even in this new album....but her Korean sounds normal.

Korean is her first language.. why would she have an accent? With her English yes, there is still a bit of an accent.

amazing album from the k-pop queen! and her best korean album to date imo! Good job, BoA :3

I'm a bit disappointed; I was hoping for more songs like Hurricane Venus and GAME not 80% ballads.

So proud of BoA!!
This album's amazing, i love every song on it :luv2

I've always just liked a few of her songs here and there, but this album's sooo good all the way through!

I like GAME, HURRICANE VENUS, Implode, Adrenaline, and Romance most.♥

Halfway through, just wanted to say that Implode is a beaaaauuutttiffuuuul song!

And I'm liking Adrenaline so far too, haha.

Let the album loving (or hating depending on your opinion) continue in the new thread

OMFG. On Romance now... it's BEAUTIFUL. It reminds me so much of Dean Martin. :luv2 It's magical sounding.
