[BoA] The Hurricane Venus will cause mass devastation in her 24th thread

[FIRSTKLAS]

She does feminine really well but I've always felt that she seems most comfortable when she's in tomboy mode. It seems to go better with her energetic, almost aggressive, style of dancing.

The only look I have a problem with is when she tries to be all kawaii and girly. Sometimes it works, like in the "Kissing you" PV but most of the time it feels overly forced like in the "Nanairo no Ashita" PV.

I think when she was younger, the cutesy stuff worked for her, but not too much anymore. I didn't think it worked in Kissing you either, it seemed too forced there. WOO WEEKEND was just awful though, she looked so extremely fake.

I don't really like that new picture, the pose is weird and makes the dress look way too big on her.

^ Kissing you? Isn't that an SNSD song? If BoA also has a song, what album is it off?

[Kingdom]

^ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivid:_...,_Joyful_Smile

It's from a (somewhat horrible) Japanese single.

also LOL OMG at the meltdown of GRACE.

It is an amazing SNSD song, but BoA has a different one with the same title that I dislike. I don't think it was on any album though. This is the PV we were talking about.

There goes another one...

[Nackar_91]

Eh ... just another by-the-rules ballads, if you ask me. Haven't really been blown away so far. Hope she pulls out something amazing soon >.<

[maze]

eh.. I like Kissing you PV XD it's so creative imo. Sparkling PV, on the othe hand..

but overall Vivid is really a nice single to listen to, at least to me
I think it was the last cutesy single from her I enjoyed as a whole

[noisy_harmony]

I rather prefer to put this in the spoiler...

Spoiler:

Stand By lyrics translation

Spoiler:

When it got tough with the girl, you appeared so suddenly again
For a while you beat around the bush then poured everything to me
And then foolishly tried hard to make excuses for the girl
Weakly, you held my two hands and eventually got tearful

Like this I'm always beside you. Whenever, I'm always here
If together, always giving you energy and grateful to have me beside you
Like this, side by side, always your listener
Why don't you realize my wish to see you face to face someday?

After a while, you'd come find me if the girl was busy
You're bored, you're hungry, there are lots you want me to do for you
Even after we bicker like lovers
If you got a call from her you were happy like a child


Like this I'm always beside you. Whenever, I'm always here
If together, always making you laugh and a comfort to have me beside you
Like this, side by side, always your listener
Why don't you realize that behind my indifference there's anticipation

I'm getting tired. Should I push you away
After some time in my absence would you suddenly be able to realize my feelings

However, today I am still in this spot
Always looking to your side, hurting, beside you
Like this I put aside everything, always waiting for you
Standing by you like this so I can breathe beside you

To clear all doubts about what song will be promoted:

According to that last Korean news article that SueJinners translated, it states that the title track is called "Hurricane Venus." It's the same article that stated that Game and Yeopsaram will be released online on the 28th... so "Hurricane Venus" is most likely the title track because it explicitly stated that in the article.


HaruHaru (Ordinary Day) is just a song on her 6th album. It's not the title track. BoA's songs sometimes have Korean titles and then (English title) right next to it on the tracklist. She wanted ideas for the English title, which she decided was going to be "Ordinary Day"

Yeopsaram isn't the title track either. It's a ballad that was given to BoA as a gift from senior singer Kim Dong Ryul.

Haru Haru isn't a title track as you see.
So we know 4 tracks from her new album for a while:
GAME
Person Beside/Stand By
Haru Haru
Hurricane Venus

GAME MV with english subtitles


Harpar Bazaar Interview + Backstage subbed

Koreans know how to make a sick ballad.

Loving the two songs so far...I have a feeling there is still a lot more to come

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I really hope this is like old school BoA!

[rossbarney2003]

Hmm i'm not too impressed with the ballad, although ballads do tend to take longer to grow on me. I wish it was more of a quirky ballad like Hyori's "Swing" as it would probably stand out to me more, but for the moment I think i'll just skip it and play "Game" for now until the full album comes out :-)

I really like the MV for game. My fave part (also my fave part of the song) is the breakdown where she says "Welcome, you are invited..." :-D

Stand By's pretty, but it doesn't blow me away.
