141201 NTV PON buzzword guess

BoA guested on the show in the morning and the buzzword of the year award was to be announced in the evening that day.

They basically introduced some of the nominations to BoA and let her guess which one would take the award. :)

Before that, they asked the nature of her stay in Japan to which BoA replied she came to Japan frequently but her stays are shorter than before. Average 2 times a month, 2-3 days per visit. There are some months where she visits more frequently. Since her stays are short, she doesn't know much of what goes on in Japan.

The Buzzwords they introduced to BoA
- Rerigo: BoA guessed correctly that it was Let It Go (Frozen's OST) and asked why it was called Rerigo to which the host explained "Because we are bad at English" LOL

- Buzzword surrounding an Olympic-winning Ski Jump athlete: BoA couldn't guess this one. The answer is LEGEND. BoA, still confused, asked "Did he call himself a legend?" <- LOL The host then explained it's what the nation calls him.

- Scene from Yamapi movie: BoA got it right instantly "Kabedon! I only learned about it yesterday. My staff was talking about how kabedon is very popular now and I thought what kind of donburi it is."

*donburi=rice with topping for example: katsudon=rice with fried-pork cutlets on top. tendon=rice with tempura on top

*kabedon actually refers to the act of hitting the wall (to block the girl from moving away like Yamapi did in the movie clip) kabe=wall, don=the sound of hitting

- comedy duo Nippon Elekiter Rengou's phrase "dameyo, ...." : BoA got it right this time too! It's dameyo, damedame. BoA's only learned about it just a while ago during makeup from her staff. "Wow my staffs are really capable!" said genuinely impressed BoA. The host added that this phrase is speculated to win the award this year.

Looking at the list of 15 nominated buzzwords (selected from 50 in total), BoA quickly noticed LEGEND from earlier and they continued talking briefly about some other buzzwords on the list. In the end, BoA guessed LEGEND would win. (*Wrong. Actually "dameyo, damedame" wins)    

Then they showed a BoA MV collection clip. BoA talked about the same old story how she went back to Korea, not expected any success with L2MH, only to be called back since L2MH hit it big.

Then FLY introduction.
BoA: "I wrote/composed this song. The meaning is about cheering oneself, not plus or minus, but just as you are. The PV was shot in England for 2N4D and it was between Live Tour concerts too. So it was a bit hectic back then."
