BoA: Awesome Songstress

So BoA is one of the major players in J-Pop, and she's coincidently been heavily driven and inspired by Michael, as she's said many times. I have always liked her, she kicks my ass when I see her sometimes, she's one fierce girl! :hilarious I thought I'd share a video of hers, just for those who want to know. There are a lot of classics by her, but this one's a little more contemperary (use of auto-tune for examp.). Those of who are familiar with Inuyasha for example will recognize her to be the singer that sings one of the series ending themes, "Every Heart."

My link

*Side note: Something else that coincidently funny but it was so awesome was MJ is obvious in here- the dancing and such- she even does a beat it kick! :boxing

Come to think of it, so many of the best J-Pop/Rock comes from anime series and those bands. It's like their big breaks when they get a theme song in there and then they're set for life with fans. Especially concerning crossing-over artists from Japan (like BoA), that's their ticket to really getting their foot in the door. FLCL and Samurai Champloo has some of the best kick-ass music I've heard in a great while. *the more you know, right? lol!* :headphones

*Cheers!* xo :heart
 
I adore BoA. She is absolutely amazing and definitely fierce. For those that want to see some of that MJ influence, then take a look at her video I Did It for Love (edit: which I just noticed you linked, haha). Section 1:55-1:56 is probably the most obvious, but there's also a lean in there somewhere, and regardless of whether she's pulling some straight-forward MJ moves, her dancing is just fantastic...


For that matter, a lot of other jpop and kpop artists are MJ inspired and show it from time to time in live shows or tv stages.

Oh yeah!! I was like, "Cool!!" There is a lean in there at 2:24ish! :giddy BoA really is great. And yes, even some straight MJ moves are in there, but then again like you said, many are heavily influenced and pull them, you know? :disco She's got that fire in her to dance her heart out! Michael's definitely proud! :2tongue

*Another Side Note: You know what's also cool is that regarding Michael's "Behind the Mask" song on 'Michael,' it originated from a J-Pop band's song! Yellow Magic Orchestra made the song a hit in 1979, and Quincy apparently brought it to Michael during Thriller sessions in the early ’80s. Michael cut the song, adding an extra melody line and additional lyrics. But b/c of the legal clearence stuff behind it all it wasn't pushed onto CD.

If you'd like to hear it, wahzzah!: :whistling

So those who don't know much about J-Pop, K-Pop, T-Pop, don't be afraid to expand your horizons and check out this genre's music, :readingbook you're bound to find something you love! Even our own Michael did! :heart


Another BoA:
"Every Heart" English Version :inuyasha1

A little bit about BoA:

BoA was born and raised Kwon Boa, November 5, 1986 in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. She would later be known by her stage name BoA, a backronym for Beat of Angel. She has become a major and active singing force in South Korea, Japan, and the United States. Inspired by her musical icons Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston, she had always had an interest in singing and performing. At the age of eleven, she accompanied one of her brothers to a talent search held by Korean musical conglomerate SM Entertainment, which at the time was searching for a new international icon, and she herself got the part. After her reluctant parents agreed to let her pursue a career in singing rather than focus on school, BoA was trained in singing, dancing, and foreign language in preparation for her Korean album debut.

After two years of vigorous training, at the age of thirteen, BoA released her Korean debut album ID; Peace B on August 25, 2000, by the artistic name BoA*. The album won much acclaim and climbed into the top ten, going on to sell 218,114 copies. The album and its promotion dazzled many with BoA's powerful singing and dancing, and helped garner interest in her from overseas. Meanwhile, her Korean record label S.M. Entertainment had made arrangements with Japanese music giant Avex Trax to launch BoA's music career in Japan.

In early 2001 BoA released her first mini album, Jumping into the World, which showcased more of her vocal skills. After this album was released, BoA took a hiatus from the Korean music industry to focus on the Japanese market. The months prior to release of her first Japanese single were spent entirely in Japan, and BoA was only allowed to speak Japanese in order to solidify her hold of the language. BoA described these months as some of her saddest and most lonely. Her much anticipated album, Listen to My Heart was then released in March of 2002.

BoA's multilingual skills (she speaks Japanese and conversational English along with her native Korean and has recorded songs in Mandarin Chinese) have contributed to her commercial success in South Korea and Japan and her popularity throughout East Asia. She is the only non-Japanese Asian to have two million-selling albums in Japan and is one of only two artists to have six consecutive number-one studio albums on the Oricon charts since her debut.

BoA appeared in the Korean Music Festival held in the Sydney Opera House on June 21, 2004 and in the Volvo "Hallyu" Concert in Universal City, California, outside of Los Angeles on in 2005. She performed before world leaders at the 2005 APEC conference in Busan, South Korea. She also made an appearence overseas for Levi's jeans advertisements with Edison Chen.

On October 14, 2008, under SM Entertainment USA, a subdivision of SM Entertainment, BoA debuted in the United States with the single "Eat You Up" and released her debut English-language album, BoA on March 17, 2009.

It had been suggested back in 2002 that BoA might play Cho Chang in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" but in the end the role went to Scottish actress Katie Leung.

In 2005, BoA was given the main lead as Shin Chae Gyung in the rags to riches drama Goong (Palace), but due to her busy schedule, the role was passed on to former Baby V.O.X member, Yoon Eun Hye.

BoA made her debut in the film industry as the voice actor for Heather the Opossum, in the Korean and Japanese versions of Over the Hedge, which was released on May 31, 2006 in Korea. BoA's B-side track "People say...." was used as the ending theme for Over the Hedge.

She had made appearances overseas notably back in 2006, where she attended the 59th Cannes Film Festival where she stood on the red carpet with the original cast for Over the Hedge. She was the first Korean artist to go to such an event. Of the many compliments BoA received on this occasion, the repeated statements Bruce Willis made about BoA's captivating beauty opened up many foreign eyes to the music of Asia. The film "COBU 3D" is set to be released early 2012, with the musical songstress scheduled to be alongside 'Dancing with the Stars' dancer and choreographer, Derek Hough.

Since her debut, she has put out 9 Korean studio albums including 2 mini-albums, 7 Japanese studio albums, 1 English studio album, 3 compilation albums, and 2 remix albums. She has 10 tours under her belt, with her most recent being her 2010: BoA the Live 2010 "X'mas" tour, and almost 4 dozen awards. BoA's illustrious career remains a testament to her drive, and her international fans and musical collegues are eager to see even more.
~~

WHOO, that's a lot of livin'! :D A very headstrong young women, who perservered and lept outside the box and language barrier. Her musical contribution is sure well appreciated. :greenlaugh


Jam out to these tunes now!
Luvs!

My Sweetie

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWHpxYs_7HE&feature=player_detailpage[/media]

When I look at you I feel so good
I can always see your face looking back at me
Occasionally you listen to what the songs are about
It'll be enough.
I like seeing the way you are going
Tomorrow the morning sun will hang over where you are going
It makes me run to catch my breath
But my heart doesn't blame you
There is something you don't know
I have fallen in love with you

* CHORUS *
(one, two)
I'm not young (two, two)
You may not see me as a lady
But someday I'll be a woman
When I'm your sweetie
Gently we'll talk about falling in love

(one, two)
I'm not young (two, two)
You may not see me as a lady
But if it is love
Someday I'll live in your heart
I wanna be a woman
Please wait for me
You held me so tight
Everyday I beg to be a part of your dreams

I see you as I wake from my sleep
You seem so shy
Maybe someday you'll see me too
All day long I need you (one, two)

I'm not young (two, two)
You may not see me as a lady
But if it is love
Someday I'll live in your heart
I wanna be a woman

Can you wait for me?
Why was there a sad look in your eyes this morning?
I guess someone made things tough for you
Now someone is looking into your heart
Everything you do is good for me
Wow~ Ha~ Ha

* (Repeat) One! Two!

Game

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8PLzqDNZT8&feature=player_detailpage[/media]

Beautiful, tell me secretly
As your words pass by my ear
It's okay even if it's shameless
Let's make it fun that way
Come play with me

Slowly, dangerously, and a little painfully
You get closer quietly, so startle me
Never stop, to my lips that are sweetly wet
Please give me exploding happiness

Curious it's still far away
You held a small party just for me oh

Candlelight, into the secret
Feel what you want, the way you want, alright!

Follow me, let's make it tighter
Follow me, let's make it hotter
Follow me...
Follow me...
Follow me, in my GAME!

Closer, and even closer
You'll probably just fall into agony
It's imagination that will set you free
Use your head
Come play with me

First, let's make everything dizzy
Let's make everything gradually new
The tiresome things, the things you hate
Those things make me happy

Even time has no end
You will fall into me
The shaking, glimmering eyes
Tell me everything

Starry night, through the night
Without a worry, leave everything to me oh
Feels alright, into this fantasy
We've already gone to our own world
So nice!

Follow me, let's make it tighter
Follow me, let's make it hotter
Follow me...
Follow me...
Follow me, in my GAME!

Welcome
You are invited
Walk in my dreams...

Candlelight, into the secret
Let's make it fun that way
Come play with me
Feels alright, into this fantasy
We've already gone to our own world
So nice!

Starry night, through the night
Without a worry, leave everything to me oh
Feels alright, into this fantasy
We've already gone to our own world
So nice!

Follow me, let's make it tighter
Follow me, let's make it hotter
Follow me...
Follow me...
Follow me, in my GAME!



Winter Love

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zetNxggKx9w&feature=player_detailpage[/media]

The winter fairies sparkle as they descend
With nothing to do
I kissed your smile in your photo

We can’t watch the long list of movies we promised to see
Together anymore
But our hearts are side by side
Even my friends miss you, we can’t go back

I love you, I miss you
My kisses touch the ten billion snowflakes
Even if I don’t forget you, baby, is it OK to keep loving you
Until the day we meet by chance somewhere?
I’ll never forget you

The moment I realise I was all alone
Real loneliness overwhelms me and overflows again

That feeling of loving someone
Is precious to me now, I feel like I’ll never forget it
No matter how many times I change my address
Your voice and your dreams won’t leave me

Even if we fall for different people as time goes by
I’ll probably still think of you
I can say with all my heart that I’m glad
That it was you who I met by fate, whose warmth that I felt and gave my warmth to
Until we can meet someday

Can't stop the future
It comes so fast that it’s sad, forever
It’s when you fall in love with someone that you realise how happy you are
Just alive

I love you, I miss you
My kisses touch the ten billion snowflakes
Even if I don’t forget you, baby, is it OK to keep loving you
Until the day we meet by chance somewhere?
I’ll never forget you.

Copy & Paste Live

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PgFbFbibz0&feature=player_detailpage[/media]


Copy and Paste

Hey! For all you crazy guys out there
You know the ones that think they can’t be replaced?
There’s a new way
You’re gonna hit Control-C for copy
And then you’re gonna hit Control-V for paste
And create the man of my desire
The excitement influences me
My confused heart,
Tear it up and enter
A girl seems to meet a prince~ HA!
It’s a story that’s like a dream
That hot glittering flashlight
Everyone desires me
When you reach out your hand
Without being able to go too far
I, who was caught by your eyes
Hello Mr. Perfect, you’ve met me
It’s from now on,
I’ll transform myself into a Super Star
Into the flowing blood
I’m spreading melody
To change you
To be born again as a perfect you
B-O-A D-N-A
Self confidence with a reason
It’s all right, yeah that’s right
A fantasy I dreamt up
The way to become that new shining blue star
Everything I have I’ll give it to you
Copy and paste all of it
Saw it, heart it, but don’t believe you know everything
A bird that stands alone for the first time is lonely
More than in movies, incidents happen every day
I have to become an adult, faster than all my friends
You get to realize, who is really younger than whom
I believe it, we’re a match
The reason that we’re attracted
Almost like a puzzle,
It’s because we fit perfectly
Pleasure and sadness, are like this rhythm
As for you, you can’t stop me
B-O-A D-N-A
Self confidence with a reason
Copy it all, copy me
This love message
You staring at me
Do it a bit more warmly now
Everything I have, I’ll give it to you
Copy and paste all of it
(Already already)
You’ve believed it
(Cosmic cosmic) all of space flows in me and spins
(From here)
From here you and i
(Before the sun)
Will you become the sun?
I will follow you and spin
Will you shine for me?
B-O-A D-N-A
Self confidence with a reason
It’s all right, yeah that’s right
A fantasy you have dreamt
The way to become that new shining blue star
Everything I have I’ll give it to you
Copy and paste all of it.

Here are the BoA concept pics she chose for this song:

Love Letter

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e5ZpRaq_Cw&feature=player_detailpage[/media]

Love Letter

Loving you and saying that I want to feel more close to you
LOVE LETTER from my heart, LOVE LETTER for your smile
I want to confess my feelings

In one way or another
It’s not anyone’s fault, but I am becoming scared from time to time
That feeling I want to say from around my lips is playing hide & seek like one sided love

The city’s lights start to shine and stop the shining moon
I want to send you my words through the mail riding on the sparkling light

Loving you and saying that I want to feel more close to you
LOVE LETTER from my heart, LOVE LETTER for your smile
I want to confess my feelings

It’s not always that we can always be happy that is important
But I want to be happy with the one I really love
I'm angry with myself because I can’t move forward unless I hide my feelings
I just realized that when I meet you I can’t just lock up and throw my heart away

I want to celebrate with you the birthdays
I want to see the same landscapes
The moments I share with you, I want to lock this in my memory

If I love, I want to be loved
The city that shines, gives to me a little courage

I love you, if I say it to you
With certainty I will be able to move

Loving you and saying that I want to feel more close to you
LOVE LETTER from my heart, LOVE LETTER for your smile
I want to confess my feelings

I want to celebrate with you the birthdays
I want to see the same landscapes
The moments I share with you, I want to lock this in my memory

If I loved, I want to be loved
The city that shines, gives to me a little courage.

Milky Way

The passing winds tell me this
Suddenly I felt the seasons getting closer
I want to go again to the time where the world didnt know
My image is shining as I go into the world

Sometime ago I lost my preciousness
Then I became an adult yeah

*I need you!
Always be by my side
Dont let go of me
The black night is spread inside of me
My dreams are twinkling
It is flowing along somewhere
On my Milky Way

When I hold out my small hand and call your name
You always waited at the same place
Your promise of your secret that made me upset
I just wanted to be with you at the same time

If you listened carefully
You can listen to the same song..

**I believe!
You watched over me accidently find my love

At the place where we could always meet,
You were waiting there

As I was trapped in the complex world
I couldnt feel your hand, I was afraid
But I could still go on
To the new start, day by day

repeat *
repeat **

At the place where we could always meet
You were waiting there
It is flowing along somewhere
On my Milky Way.

*Bonus* BoA Sept. 10, 2008

(Whisper has put this up before so I'm putting it up. BoA at her conference, speaking of her MJ influence up until :25 sec, then she goes into speaking about Flo Rida and then into Japanese.) :cherry

Eien (Forever)

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TA8ZBCUweCY&feature=player_detailpage[/media]



Forever

I’m sure my finger is only here
for softly touching your cheek
only for touching it

I’m sure the shining moon is only here
for me and you to forever look up at
it was only for us to look up at

Whenever I feel down
you were always by my side
You always smiled for me
but now you’re gone

From the palms of my hands
my sadness pours out in large drops, “My Love”
Tonight in this town
I think I’m the one who is crying the most

Because you loved me
I had become who I am now
Wind that carries time,
Somehow, bring back the eternity from that day
Bye Bye Bye…
Why did you say bye bye bye

Back then, there was that song we always listened to
It came on while we were standing at the corner
We shared our earphones together

Then you’ll suddenly pull away
and the earphone would come out of my ear
and I pretended to get mad

Our eyes would meet suddenly
and our lips pressed together
You said you will always protect me

I gently reach up to the navy blue sky
I feel like my heart is about to burst
Just hold me, just one more time

If I have been honest that time
This never would have happened
When I wake up, everything will be a dream
And then
you’ll say jokingly “bye bye bye.”
Why did you say bye bye bye?

I was looking absent-minded at the people on the street

while walking with you beside the rows of trees
You said you’ll make pasta for me next time
and we’ll go on a trip together next year
and that you’ll always protect me, but..

From the palms of my hands
my sadness pours out in large drops, “My Love”
Tonight in this town
I think I’m the one who is crying the most

Because you loved me
I had become who I am now
Wind that carries time,
Somehow, bring back the eternity from that day

I gently reach up at the navy blue sky
I feel like my heart is about to burst
Just hold me, just one more time

If I have been honest that time
This never would have happened
When I wake up, everything will be a dream
And then
you’ll say jokingly “bye bye bye.”
Why did you say bye bye bye?

~I love this song^.. :yaychibi

BoA leaves a message for fans on her Twitter regarding the recent tragedy in Japan. On March 14th, she tweets in Japanese, "SOUL and everyone who has been affected by the earthquake in Japan. I feel guilty that I don't have much power to contribute. Various lives were lost in this earthquake, it really is a difficult time. I also feel saddened. Let's all do our best! Also let's all pray to God - for those who have yet to be found and those that have lost their lives."

Japan experienced an earthquake with a magnitude of 8.9, which has caused thousands of death and many to go missing. The earthquake has also caused one of Japan's nuclear reactor to explode due to the cooling system failing, as well as a tsunami.

JYJ have also left a heartwarming message for fans in Japan and says "everyone, good luck and try your best."

* BoA Asks Fans Not To Record During Her Concerts:

BoA has been watching fancams of her concerts in awe, but has asked fans to stop recording during a concert. On February 22nd, she tweeted, "I've never been able to hear myself from the audience, but I guess this is how it feels like."

The singer held her "The Live 2010 X'mas" last year on December 21st and fans were not allowed to record or take pictures during the concert. BoA performed Stevie Wonder's "Blue Moon" and the Christmas Carol "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas". However, these two covers were not included in BoA's DVD "The Live 2010 X'mas" release.

But because taking pictures and recording during a concert is not allowed by the companies, BoA tweeted, "Wait...next time, don't record during a concert...!"

We reported at the beginning of the month that BoA was getting ready to film her Hollywood movie. The movie is being directed by Duane Adler and produced by Robert Colt. The two have worked together on the dance movie "Save The Last Dance."

Now it's been reported that 'Dancing with the Stars' dancer and choreographer, Derek Hough, will participate in the movie "COBU 3D" with BoA. The filming will begin this spring. The two will play dancers who grew up in different environments. The duo run into each other at an underground New York club and are threatened by one another. However, the story turns into a Romeo and Juliet story as the two fall in love.

Derek Hough is a three time champion on 'Dancing with the Stars' and has earned three Creative Arts Primetime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Choreography for his work on the popular dance show. Prior to his participation on 'Dancing with the Stars,' he took part of the Broadway musical "Footloose" in London. He plans to return to 'Dancing with the Stars' after he finished with "COBU 3D."

In addition to the movie being produced by Robert Cort, CJ Entertainment and SM Entertainment are listed as co-producer of "COBU 3D." Shooting for the movie will begin this spring in Toronto and New York.

"COBU 3D" is a movie that will focus on dance battles and a beautiful love story. A variety of different dances will be seen in the movie such as tap dancing, hip-hop, swing, and more. This movie will be released in 3D and already has high expectations.

BoA's Hollywood debut film is set to be released in early 2012. As the heroine of the movie, BoA will showcase her acting and dancing talents on screen. CJ Entertainment will be distributing the movie in Korea, China, and Japan. Lionsgate International will be the international sales agent with pre-sales beginning at the Berlin International Film Festival in February 2011.
