I'm glad is a new song and not a remix !!

brener 13th June 2014 10:58 PM

yay new song *-* looking forward to this release

rookies 14th June 2014 10:14 AM

B-Side song title looks interesting. Hope it is a fun song, as the name suggests. :laugh

If I had to gripe, I don't really like the "nanana - hey hey, etc" but overall the song is better than anything anyone else is releasing. It's J-pop at heart which is what I totally love about it. It's hard being a J-pop fan nowadays with every J-pop artist imitating western musician techniques.

This makes me excited for the new album! BoA's uplifting style has really been missing from the scene lately.

AyuGAME 17th June 2014 08:16 AM

Short ver? isn't that the whole song?

the song is soooo good...

BoA looks so young and refreshing...

Benikari47 17th June 2014 01:52 PM

This is absolutely PERFECT for summer, her strongest single since Mamoritai! <3

murasakinohana 17th June 2014 02:59 PM

The new Japanese album will be announced after this I think. And then, hopefully, we'll get a Korean comeback by the 4th quarter of 2014 or 1st quarter of 2015. :)

But... those parts are great, so infectious I feel like I should be vaccinated! But 100% agreed about everything else. :) Love this song.

I have to confess: I've always liked BoA's voice but I've been unable to get into her music because she just didn't seem to be doing the right songs. But this era is doing it for me! Only One, Call my name, now this... I stan for all of these songs! And the rest of her new material has also been at least good in my books, not a single miss to be found. I really can't wait for her new album now!

adantatu2 17th June 2014 11:43 PM

After IDENTITY and WOO WEEKEND, she is doing everything pretty well !!

ILoveGeniuses 17th June 2014 11:47 PM

Masayume Chasing has been on repeat a lot today. :D

ILoveGeniuses 18th June 2014 11:15 PM

I know this is a bit old now, but I don't think it was ever posted here that I can recall. SO AWESOME though.



Also, going to watch Make Your Move tonight or tomorrow. Will post my opinion after I'm finished. TBH, I'm not expecting too much, so I guess we'll see how I feel after it's over.

tokyoxjapanxfan 19th June 2014 02:42 AM

Love it.

Though the video reminded me of Girl Next Door's video :-p

It was recorded at Ikispiari, which is a shopping area outside of Tokyo Disneyland. I believe she's dancing right outside the movie theater.

Beauty4123 19th June 2014 04:42 AM

The "Masayume Chasing" PV was just so cute, I absolutely loved it! :love BoA looked beautiful throughout the whole PV. I loved all the different outfits that she wore, especially that blue dress. She looked so pretty! :heart I thought BoA's dancing was so cute & fun, as well. I totally enjoyed every minute of the PV, it was just so much fun to watch! :)

About the song itself, I actually didn't listen to it in full until I've watched the PV, so now that I've watched it, I have to say that I absolutely love the song so much! :) It's fantastic. It's just so upbeat & fun, I love it. :heart

ayumisrael 19th June 2014 01:42 PM

I also really liked Masayume Chasing PV, I think that it's her best in a long time. The song is pretty good as well.

adantatu2 19th June 2014 09:48 PM

I hope she gets at least top 5 !!

brener 20th June 2014 09:51 PM

That would be awesome! I hope for +10k

tokyoxjapanxfan 25th June 2014 08:53 AM

Masayume Chasing has renewed my faith in Jpop. I've been super uninterested in almost every artist out there, but this song is perfect Jpop.

It's not copycat Kpop, nor is it Western influenced. It's Jpop.
I'm so excited for her album. I hope details are released soon.

It's doing super well on youtube too. 800,000+ views!

Her site has been updated too!
http://avex.jp/boa/

KLJames 2nd July 2014 03:37 PM

http://avex.jp/boa/news/detail.php?id=1011592
quick update, another new song "FLY" will debut @ July 9

Minttulatte 2nd July 2014 04:25 PM

Masayume Chasing is doing well♥ I hope that with this single BoA will give her a well-deserved boost in popularity. This girl is really talented and she deserves all success she can get. :)

ILoveGeniuses 2nd July 2014 04:51 PM

^agreed!! ^_^

brener 2nd July 2014 05:38 PM

The new song called 「FLY」 will be used as the ending theme of TV Tokyo drama 「Suiyou MISTERY 9」 to start on July, 7. I hope this new song helps MASAYUME sales, even though it's not on the single maybe it will encourage people to support her =)

「Suiyou MISTERY 9」 official site: http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/mystery9/

ILoveGeniuses 2nd July 2014 05:54 PM

^So will it be getting a separate single all its own then? Or will she possibly be putting it on her new Japanese album she's mentioned working on?

brener 2nd July 2014 06:54 PM

No info yet =\ but I think it might be on the album... I don't think she'll release another single for this album.

adantatu2 3rd July 2014 12:16 AM

Maybe it will be a digital single, or the track to promote the new album

Solarblade 10th July 2014 09:04 AM

9/3 album "WHO'S BACK?"

HMV states these are the tracks that'll be on it but there'll be more

●WOO WEEKEND
●I SEE ME
●Only One
●The Shadow
●Milestone
●Tail of Hope
●Message
●Shout It Out

ILoveGeniuses 10th July 2014 01:06 PM

Preordered my copy just now. ♥♥♥♥♥
Only wish Woo Weekend wasn't on it. It's about the only song she's done which I loathe completely.

ahtka-chan 10th July 2014 02:25 PM

I absolutely LOVE the fact that WOO WEEKEND is present. Everybody was like "WW won't be on the album, it's too old, it's not good"

JUST ACCEPT IT FOLKS

WW <3

brener 10th July 2014 02:58 PM

^ me too!! I loled when people said it shouldn't be included hahahaa Thankfully it is \o/ Love that single :heart

by the way, nice that they didn't include b-sides, that means we're getting a lot of new songs and those singles are going to remain special because of the great b-sides the will still have.

thinkingoutloud89 10th July 2014 03:40 PM

^a lot? counting MASAYUME CHASING we have 8 songs (and they may even ad call my name)

so weg get 4 new song..one of which is fly

brener 10th July 2014 04:18 PM

it is confirmed that the album will have 12 tracks? '-'

adantatu2 10th July 2014 08:55 PM

I can't wait for this album, and I'm glad they include WOO WEEKEND and I SEE ME, I don't like them at all, but is good

tokyoxjapanxfan 11th July 2014 06:15 PM

I don't want woo weekend on it lol. I really didn't like it. Oh well, still looking forward to it!!!

ayumisrael 11th July 2014 10:24 PM

So with MASAYUME CHASING it's already 9 tracks, with Fly it's 10.

If it will be 12 tracks that means only 3 new songs (including Fly) and it's supposed to be a ballad? it will be super dissapointing and she should have called it "WHO'S BACK BEST" lol.

At least 15 tracks would be nice but no chance.
Well 14 new tracks would mean 5 new songs which is good too, but what are the odds?

brener 12th July 2014 01:53 AM

Anyway I just hope this album can manage to outsell her latest singles...

Zeke. 12th July 2014 04:47 AM

I never disliked woo weekend, but with this many previously released songs on the album it is kind of a bust.

freedreamer 12th July 2014 04:13 PM

3 new songs only?!

ILoveGeniuses 12th July 2014 05:18 PM

I don't remember I SEE ME all that well. It's a song I usually completely forget that even exists til I hear it again. As for WW, I'm just a little surprised, but I guess I should have seen it coming. Japan loves that stuff. TBH, I only dislike it cause of when she goes "WOOOOOOOO WEEEEEEEEEE" near the end. Anyways, I have other albums on my shelf with a song on it I don't like (ie. Kuu's Trick w/ TAC) and BoA's released 1 or 2 other songs in the past which I'm not fond of, but that won't chase me away from her or her music. I LOVE HER!! :heart

Oh, and also surprised Milestone made the cut, but I'm EXTREMELY HAPPY about that one. :blove

Plus hoping they'll announce a First Press B2 poster for the album. I need a poster of her to complete my room decorating and most of the Korean ones are too large. And others I find either have too much text or are too expensive.

ストロボ・EdGE 12th July 2014 09:51 PM

This is the first time in a while I've been really impressed with a release in jpop. Shout it out and Masayume Chasing are really solid.

Nearly all of the clothing in the MC PV are from H&M. Says something about the budget but hey they did a good job. She's still the best dancer in jpop.

KLJames 13th July 2014 06:27 PM

WOO WEEKEND // NO DANCE, NO LIFE
Milestone // I SEE ME
Only One // The Shadow
Tail of Hope // Baby you..
Message // Call my name
Shout It Out // close to me
MASAYUME CHASING // FUN
FLY

if this "album" have less than 5 new song, they should known it as "singles collection"

and, i will be extremely pissed off if "Call my name" not in the final list, such a great song, better than those songs that she turn from korean to japanese

Maemi 13th July 2014 06:52 PM

^ True. I hope they won't include all of the singles on the album, that would be a waste.

Ruan Borges 13th July 2014 09:25 PM

I don't like Woo Weekend and dont even remember how Milestone and I SEE ME sounds like...

And man, close to me is just perfection, sad if it's not in the album

Zeke. 14th July 2014 12:24 AM

I see me is like a wintery song.

tokyoxjapanxfan 14th July 2014 09:53 AM

I love Milestone. And originally I was just just ok with Message, but I loooove it now. The video is so pretty.

I think the Korean to Japanese songs should be bonuses, not main track list. They're especially old now lol, having been available in Korean since last year.

Violently Happy 14th July 2014 09:56 AM

^
^
I agree, but I love that song! :3 I love all singles so far, but for some reason I didn't like Message / Call my name. :'( Am I the only one who doesn't like that single? :O

ILoveGeniuses 14th July 2014 05:53 PM

Only One & The Shadow may be Korean to Japanese songs, but let's face it, BoA's been doing this since the beginning with even old songs like "No.1", "Milky Way" & "ID; Peace B". I don't like it either all that much, but I've grown very used to it. I will admit I loved the English version of Girls On Top though. :heart

Also, I :heart Tail of Hope. Just I've been listening to the English Version SOOOOO MUCH that I barely touch it in Japanese anymore. LOL

Honestly, I feel the best songs announced for this album so far are Shout It Out & Masayume Chasing.

Kaiouforever 14th July 2014 10:40 PM

Still got masayume chasing on repeat. If she does more songs like that, I'll be happy.

ILoveGeniuses 14th July 2014 11:20 PM

^Agreed :yes

Kaiouforever 14th July 2014 11:25 PM

Anyone have the full lyrics? I can only find partial ones right now.

Minttulatte 15th July 2014 03:05 PM

WOO WEEKEND is awesome. I don't get the hate at all. I love it♥

I LOVE it ... Perfect Summer Song ... Amazing ... I love this Single ... Her last Songs are sooooooo good!

ILoveGeniuses 16th July 2014 12:41 AM

^OMG!!! SOUNDS FANTASTIC!! :blove

Just why is she releasing these summer songs at the dead end of summer? September is the start of Autumn.

adantatu2 16th July 2014 02:13 AM

September ? FUN is the b-side for MASAYUME CHASING and is going to be released in July.

ILoveGeniuses 16th July 2014 02:24 AM

^I just meant the album... Also I think I confused FUN with FLY too.... I dunno, it's late here, been doing a lot today and I think my brain's worn out for the day LOL

Tom Punks 16th July 2014 03:45 AM

I like FUN more than masayume chasing lol.

freedreamer 17th July 2014 05:03 AM

FUN is so fun HAHAHA :D

moonLIGHT 17th July 2014 09:23 AM

~StarCatcher~ 18th July 2014 07:51 AM

But I think they will add Masayume Chasing, because it is the latest single....

Solarblade 18th July 2014 07:53 AM

Usually albums that leave off a single that precedes it is either (they skip over it and include it on a later albums) or (they hold off announcing it because the company wants the sales for the single)

~StarCatcher~ 18th July 2014 07:59 AM

I hope for the later one ;)

Solarblade 18th July 2014 08:03 AM

It probably is, the former usually happens with anison artists for some reason >.>

I can't wait to know the sales for this single !!

~StarCatcher~ 23rd July 2014 07:47 AM

I really love this new single.

Everything about is is as great as every other release she put out in the last year♥

covers and PV are lovely too!

ILoveGeniuses 23rd July 2014 12:39 PM

Just fyi for anyone interested, but i uploaded the FULL single in 320kpbs (excluding PV) and posted it in the Asian DLs section yesterday.

adantatu2 24th July 2014 01:49 AM

^Thanks.

And I don't know if is good, but TOP 10 for Masayume Chasing on the 1st Day. Number eight, or nine, I can't remember.

ILoveGeniuses 24th July 2014 02:08 AM

^Maybe partly cause people know the album is coming?
On other hand Japan's all obsessed with mostly groups right now. Also to my understanding BoA's Japanese singles have never had a reputation for selling as much as her albums.

Btw, tad off topic, but does anyone know how to DL the videos from JPOPSUKI?

rookies 24th July 2014 03:52 AM

FUN sounds really good, I love the song. Perfect song for the summer. :heart

Beauty4123 24th July 2014 04:54 AM

Jpopsuki.tv or Jpopsuki.eu ? For the second one, you need an account and a P2P program for torrents.

But if you want to download a music video from Jpopsuki.tv, just use an extension on Chrome, FVD Downloader is good. Just played the video and you can see a blue arrow, click the arrow and download the mp4 file.

I hope this makes sense, my english is not very good.

Is she serious ?

This is a compilation album 2010-2014 !!

I wish that is fake

Benikari47 29th July 2014 03:52 AM

LMFAO i am dying!

KLJames 29th July 2014 04:13 AM

^^ sound so fake, impossible to have no new song at all.
and there will be another new song called "First Time" according to japan news

tokyoxjapanxfan 29th July 2014 07:27 AM

I think that's fake.

That's like a Wiki page, anyone can play with it. There's no announcement on her site, so I wouldn't believe anything until there's an official release.

And as KLJames posted, the article states that there will be a song called First Time, that will also have a PV in a "documentary style."

On a side note, I'm so annoyed that I failed to listen to Message last fall. It's perfect. I love the atmosphere of the video and also the music itself. I've resisted downloading and renting any of her new music, so this album will be super fresh for me haha.

ILoveGeniuses 29th July 2014 11:52 AM

Its fake. I want the real tracklist and covers so I'll continue waiting. Once they're officially up I can reorganize the singles I have in my iTunes. :)

adantatu2 29th July 2014 10:22 PM

Her albums usually include b-sides, so I don't think this is fake at all, but who knows.

Utena 29th July 2014 10:35 PM

there's no official tracklist out yet, can't even find anything on BAIDU so I highly doubt this is the final tracklist even though it's most likely not gonna include a lot of new tracks.

ILoveGeniuses 29th July 2014 10:38 PM

TBH, I'm not all that happy about the lack of new tracks. There's a number of the singles (despite I like em) I think she should toss aside and create more new tracks for the album. After all, she's hasn't been overly active in Japan in awhile (that I'm aware of) and she needs something new and fresh to catch their attention back again.

ayumisrael 29th July 2014 10:41 PM

BoA's MASAYUME CHASING is #15 weekly with 6,696 copies sold.
Well it will sell some copies more than the last 2 singles at least.

adantatu2 30th July 2014 09:19 PM

The anime didn't help to increase her sales a lot and this is a really good single

Zeke. 31st July 2014 03:18 AM

Seriously, what are people thinking? This is such a good song/single. Deserves more sales!

now thatI've had some time to search around, can't seem to find the source of the tracklist and covers so I'm not sure they're legit. The tracklist is most likely true though.

But they posted on BAIDU the USB fanclub pass covers thing as well so I would tend to think they're legit

Okay

I like the tracklist even though there is only one new song and PV.

But the covers look cheap and fanmade so I am very sceptic that the information is real...

It is. The guy who posted it on baidu is a very reliable source, and several people on Weibo posted about it and shared screencaps.

Does BoA have a fanclub? It could come from there?
