    As outlined here http://netizenbuzz.blogspot.no/2013/...star-2_20.html
    on the last episode of K-pop Star mr YG was so impressed by BoA's work with her contestants (and she got more 'trainees' through than the other two) that he said to Lee Soo Man, "If you're watching you should promote BoA to vice-president now".

    Korean media watchdog Mediaus published an opinion piece today saying SM, while still making money, is in a messy state now with actors' projects flopping and artists' releases generally viewed unfavourably by the public, and that they shouldn't take it as a joke but consider it for real.

    This song goes super hard



    From "Love & Honesty".

    I've been listening to all her studio albums in preparation for the concert next Sunday (although we're unlikely to get non-translated Japanese stuff there) and she had a really strong streak in Japan. Well, none of her albums are bad, and none stand out super clearly, which is the problem when people start asking about where to start.

    But one of the stronger JP albums is definitely 'The Face'. Released after the also great 'Made in Twenty' it's inexplicable how sales started slowing down here, although I guess they did for a lot of artists.

    From the gorgeous acoustic rnb strumming of 'My Way, Your Way'


    to the dreamy keys of 'Diamond Heart'


    and tons of other great tracks, including some of her stronger ballads like 'Love Letter', stronger in-your-face uptempos like Lose Your Mind and stronger earworms like Sweet Impact AND strong self-composed material in "Girl in The Mirror".

    Nice interview http://koreajoongangdaily.joinsmsn.c...px?aid=2966054

    Did you choose the concepts for your earlier albums, and how did you stay so disciplined at such a young age?

    Yes, I decided to go with the powerful female warrior image. The company already makes too many decisions for you, and an artist also needs to develop her own thoughts and ability to speak out. Singers must know what they can do well and what they want to do on the stage.
    Why did you think of becoming a singer so early, and why did you go overseas all of a sudden?

    I don’t know. Maybe I’m weird, but going to school like others wasn’t important to me. My parents also supported my career. I went abroad at an early age because I was not afraid of anything. I didn’t draw that much attention in Korea with my first album, and I thought I could easily move to Japan and start over. Living abroad and being able to speak foreign languages made me feel alive. Believing that I had many opportunities as a young teenager made me brave in decision-making.

    Promotions in full swing in Japan


    She's performing on a few TV shows, first one tomorrow at Music Japan.

    Unfortunately the predictions of the NINKI index don't suggest too hot of a week on the Oricon: 8th place. Hopefully should do reasonably well on digitals.

    The NINKI rate is not that bad. At least 18.70 people out of 700 are aware that she's got a single out. I'm expecting no more than 10.000 copies sold.

    The Japanese version of The Shadow doesn't flow very well, the lyrics sound off. At least we have the flawless Korean version.

    9th first day on Oricon. 4th on recochoku though.

    Seems avex has handled this thing with the usual incompetence though: No stock in main JP record stores of Only One, same with Amazon Japan!! It sold moderately well on the first day, how could they understock it this bad? Forcing it through digital channels?

    It's out.. but I haven't seen it on the web. However the screens suggest it's almost identical to the Korean one.


    BoA's getting the deals in Korea. Now Benneton. Is this the 6th current product deal?

    Japanese The Shadow video. The editing isn't as tight as the Korean version but it's more or less the same.
