「BoA THE LIVE 2018 "X'mas"」Promotional Activity at the venue

Apparently, all SOUL members get a Xmas card that looks like this

taken from https://twitter.com/itnw0628/status/1075692412591194113

Which is also a lottery ticket. When you open the card and see winner sign, you'll get signed Clear File which I think is the ones in the lower left in the picture below.

The ones on the right is AMOR pre-order bonus. Please refer to this post for more detail.
Still no idea what the one on upper left is. Can anybody clarify?


They also give bonus for SOUL new applicant and renewed member. It's SOUL Original Pouch (brown rectangle thingy on the right). The new applicant will also receive SOUL magazine Vol.57. The renewed member will get either a pen case or luggage tag (no sample picture provided).

I still don't know what the present that all the audience received is. You know the one that comes automatically with the ticket price. I also don't see much of BoA's MC content in my feed. Actually I got only 2 tweets of them. lol guess I'll just translate them here.

[translation] 180210 J-WAVE SEASONS

Fashion point
BoA: My ankles are not good so I mostly wear sneakers and clothes that match well with sneakers like denim+jacket+sneaker. Korea is very cold now so I only wear down coat these days. I'd say my fashion point is cute sneakers.

Recently bought item
BoA: Cashmere scarf. A colorful pastel one that goes well with various items such as navy coat and camel coat.

Pick 1 song
BoA: Charlie Puth's One Call Away. I listen to this song when I want to relax or on a drive. His voice is warm and has healing power so I listen to this song to relax.

[translation] 180116 J-WAVE GROOVE LINE

DJ Piston: Quiz for BoA! What number is this new album?

BoA can't recall if this new album(Watashi Konomamade Iinakana) is her 10th or 8th JP studio album and mentioned that her staff members are also arguing if it's 8th or 9th outside. (LOL i'm thinking it's who's back they're having trouble with. even fans tend to forget it exists hahaha)

BoA: I stopped counting my singles after the 10th.

DJ Piston asked what's she been doing in 3 years and a half after releasing Who's Back.

BoA: I can't believe it's been 3.5 years. I feel like it was yesterday last I met you. I always feel calm talking to you.

BoA said she had released Korean album, did a drama and host an audition show called Produce101.

The way she worked with this JP album isn't rushing toward a set deadline but rather she took her time and recorded it one by one and when all the songs are done, she found that 3 years and a half have passed.

The staff for Korean and Japanese work are different and it's more economical for her to fly to JP to record (for JP album).

DJ.Piston made a remark that KR music are more international.
BoA said a lot of KR songs originated from the West but for her new JP album, there're a lot of songs from the West too.


*Watashi konomamade iinokana played*

They talked about how the album will be released on Valentine's Day and the album title means "Am I okay like this?"

DJ.Piston: Is it intentional?

BoA: No! It's a coincidence! We didn't even know WaKoIi is gonna be the title song when we set the date. But afterwards I did wonder if it'd be okay releasing on Valentine's Day with such album title. But my female staff like and can relate to it a lot. But (jokingly) am I ok like this?

DJ.Piston: Of course. Everybody likes you the way you are. So you've been busy in Korea but this year you'll be busy in Japan right?

BoA: This year I started working in Japan from New Year's Day! It was for CDTV New Year stage and I had to stand by since 2.45AM!! and what's more? the song is Valenti! (lol) so I squeeze in my tight jeans and decided to start working earnestly in Japan this year.

Then they talked about the Unchained tour.

BoA: There're 7 concerts in total from Hokkaido, Osaka, Nagoya, Aichi, Fukuoka, Tokyo. (me: Nagoya is a city in Aichi. BoA's confused here.)

BoA: I had a concert in Hokkaido before 10 years ago and it was so much fun. This time around, first concert is in Hokkaido so I'm looking forward to going back again.

Topic change to weather in Korea.

BoA: It's so cold that it's almost impossible to walk outside. It's around -4 celcius now.

DJ Piston: Do you plan to go watch the Olympics in Pyeongchang?

BoA: I'll watch from TV.

DJ Piston: Have you ever gone see real golf competition?

BoA: Yes. I actually have friends who are professional golf players. I made a promise to go play with Park In Bee recently but it was too cold, around -8 celcius so we had to cancel it.

DJ Piston: You have to go when the weather is good.

BoA: But when the weather is good, they are all busy with tournaments! I've been busy lately so I haven't golf much but it's good for stress relief.

DJ Piston: Then you should bring your golf gears to recording room and record while taking a swing. "Am I okay like this?" is exactly a proper question for the situation.

BoA: (shouting) "Am I okay like this?"

DJ Piston: Let's play one more song from the album. You sang this song before at Billboard. It's called Jazzclub.

BoA explained the song lyrics, and mentioned filming the MV in New York
*Jazzclub played*

the end

[translation] 180201 J-WAVE STEP ONE

DJ: It's been 3 years since WHO'S BACK, your last release. What have you been doing til now?
BoA: For this new album, Watashi Konomamade Iinokana, we didn't set the deadline so we've been recording songs with no rush. I flew in a lot of times to record songs in Japan. I've also released an album in Korea and had acting jobs.

DJ: It took 3 years to complete this album. What kind of effect does it have on the album?
BoA: Since we had a lot of time, we had more fun choosing from different genres. Lyrics-wise too, we could afford to look for the ones that we want so from many factors, we were able to make a higher quality album.

DJ: The album will be released on Valentine's Day. With the title "Watashi Konomamade Iinokana (Am I Ok like this?)". Can you elaborate?
BoA: *LOL* I found it intriguing that it was picked as the title song. It was unexpected to me. When I heard of the decision I immediately asked why? Turned out women in their 20's-40's can identify with this song. My female staff members were saying "This is me. This is my life." Actually for me too, I'm at the age where I have love and career problems too.

DJ: Actually, I'm the same age as you. and it's true. Once we turn 30, maybe we still enjoy work but there're people who started having kids, having families so it is a period in life where there are a lot of changes so one needs to reflect on life. What about you?
BoA: For me, between work and love/marriage, I'd still choose work. Work is fun. I don't get bored. So I think I'm ok this way.

*Watashi Konomamade Iinokana played*

DJ: I'd like to talk about Jazzclub, another song from the new album. It sounds refreshing but also sounds like your style. It has an MV too, right?
BoA: The MV was filmed in New York. I only had two days for rehearsal before filming.

DJ: Only two days?
BoA: Actually only 3 hours each day. On the first day, I learnt my part. On the 2nd day, I rehearsed with the full dancer team and filmed the MV on the 3rd day.

DJ: There's an acting part at the beginning too with the taxi scene so you got to use acting skills that you've learned as an actor.
BoA: Personally, it was embarrassing for me. Out of the blue this guy told me he was gonna get married via facetime. *lol* after that I went into a club and started dancing. It was like a flashmob and I got to feel like a queen. *lol* It was fun.

DJ: The MV director is Benny Boom? How did he get to work on it?
BoA: We didn't know each other before. He is a film and TV show director. That's why he's good at storytelling and the MV felt like a short movie.

DJ: What's Valentine's Day like in Korea? Is it fun and festive like in Japan?
BoA: yeah it's loads of fun ... for couples. But that's true for Japan too.

DJ: Girls give chocolate to guys?
BoA: Yes, same as in Japan. But I've never made chocolate for anyone.

DJ: Buy and get it over with?
BoA: Yes

DJ: What do you think of girls confessing their feelings on Valentines Day?
BoA: I think it's wonderful. Wonderful for those who can do it.

DJ: Are you the type that can confess?
BoA: No. The thing is I can't make chocolates.

DJ: That's the problem (not the confession)?
BoA: That's the most important point in all of this.

DJ: Then I think the CD might be good as Valentines Day present.
BoA: Yes

Note: In Japan (and Korea too I guess), girl don't just give chocolates to their lovers, but also give to other males (such as colleagues).

[translation] 180128 LINE LIVE BoA Watashi Konomamade Iinokana Release Special

BoA: This is my first appearance on LINE LIVE. I'll be sharing info about my new album. Please send a lot of hearts!

TOP3 who send most hearts will win signed LINE character goods.

BoA: As you know I've attended FNS kayousai and CDTV New Year Special during the end of 2017 and beginning of 2018. In Jan 2018 I have a lot of promotional activities so I've been busy.

Looking back to 2002

BoA: 2002 is when I was very busy in both Japan and Korea. In Japan, I released Listen to My Heart and Valenti. In Korea, I released an album called No.1 which received a lot of love from people.

Anything you specially remember?

BoA: I received two grand awards from No.1. It was an honor and would leave such an impression for any singer's career.

Looking back on 2004 the year of merikuri

BoA: I didn't imagine the song would have such longevity. For merikuri, what I can remember the most is singing live on building rooftop in Korea for FNS kayousai. It was so cold I wondered "Are we doing it here for real?" I think merikuri has an image of lovers together in the night street thanks to this broadcast so I feel very grateful. I'd often hear people around me say 'hearing merikuri in the streets of Shibuya makes me realize year end is coming'. It's my pride as a singer having such a signature song.

Comparing to years ago, what have you improved?

BoA: My Japanese. I learnt JP while working, doing interviews and such. That's why I sound like a working adult.

*BoA said the word "(working) adult" wrong here. She said kaishajin instead of shakaijin. (kaishajin is not really a word.)

BoA: I understand the nuance and the lyrics a lot better. My Japanese has gotten a lot better even though it's awkward saying it myself. *acting all shy*

BoA: As for the differences between KR and JP lyrics, Korean lyrics tend to be more straightforward. But recently JP dance songs also have more straightforward lyrics.

Watashi Konomamade Iinokana

BoA: It's a song women in 20's-40's can emphatize with. It's about various difficulties women face in life. Listeners probably think oh... I also have these doubts.


Any episode filming Jazzclub in New York?

BoA: I suddenly had to do rehearsal. Up to the point before flying off to New York, there was still no VDO for me to learn from. So I had this question in my mind all the time "What dance do I do?".
I had 3hr x 2day = 6hrs to complete the dance and was worried whether I could do it. But the song itself is relatively short and the choreographer made the dance moves flow smoothly so it was easy to learn so I did it.

Jazzclub MV Making Film
BoA: The city is full of skyscrapers and the traffic is bad! lol

BoA: The dancers are so full of energy it made me forget about my exhaustion.

Make Me Complete

BoA: It's an OST for period drama but the lyrics are all in English so there's this imbalance that feels refreshing. I love the original version but I also love the urban rearranged version for Billboard Live. It's a song I want to play around with.

LOOKBOOK

BoA: I thought this song was made for a group, not solo singer b/c the singing parts are a lot. Honestly, it's exhausting to perform but audience get excited with this song in concerts so even though I want to avoid performing it, I can't.

Regarding the tour, any place that you specially look forward to?

BoA: I had concerts in Osaka and Nagoya many times but for others like Hokkaido and Aichi, I haven't been to much. Especially for Hokkaido, it'd be the first time since the first BoA The Live. I remember having a good time back then so I look forward to receiving a lot of power from the audience there.

*BoA still made the same mistake. She kept thinking Nagoya and Aichi are different places. (*Nagoya is in Aichi) (she also mentioned this in J-WAVE)

Q1 JP fav food
BoA: soba and mizutaki(hot pot)

Q2 JP fav place
BoA: home

Q3 body control tips
BoA: frequent body check

Q4 health/beauty tips
BoA: sleep a lot

Q5 fav fashion
BoA: denim and sneakers b/c I can't wear heels

Q6 recent addiction
BoA: golf but now it's cold so I stopped

Q7 what do you collect
BoA: sneakers

Q8 travel destination
BoA: Finland. I wanna see Aurora

Q9 frequented place
BoA: izakaya (JP bar)

You love alcohol?
BoA: Yes it's the question that I answer the quickest. lol

BoA: I wanna go to either Iceland or Finland to see the aurora. There's this hotel where the ceiling is made of ice or glass and alarm will go off for you to see aurora from your bed. But you have to reserve in advance for years.

BoA: I love to stay home and watch TV, read novels. Home is safe. (Do you drink at home?) I don't usually drink by myself at home. Sometimes when it's cold, I'll have a little to stay warm and go to sleep. I go out to drink with my staff.

Jazz Club (Billboard Live)
BoA signing the LINE character goods. She adorably signed over Brown's FACE!! but then probably regretted it so she didn't sign over the character's face for the other two remaining pieces.

[translation] 180216 Buzzfeed Japan interview

With transparent skin and delicate body, her eyes are strong. Debuting at the age 13 with 17 years career, she's grown into a forever young but calm woman.

"Since I'm a solo artist and not in a group, I don't have anyone to rely on."

BoA, an artist from Korea who has branched out to Japan and the world, said with a smile. Not a smile to put up a brave front. I can feel the energy born from experiences of this woman who has just turned 30.

Japan debut with no interpreter

Her debut happened by chance. She followed her brother to an audition when she was 12 and was scouted by a big entertainment firm.

Debut in Korea was at the age of 13 in year 2000 and it was decided from way before that she'd advance to Japan market so she did a short homestay in Japan to learn Japanese. The day after Japan debut, she had to do interview in Japanese.

She couldn't say the things she wanted to say. It was in an era where Korean artists still didn't promote all over the world so there was no system, no interpreter.

"It's very difficult to express yourself in a foreign language. It's exhausting..."

When I throw her a question, she'd answer promptly. I can feel how smart she is but from her standpoint, it's still not her mother tongue. During her early days in Japan, she always had electronic dictionary close by her side, earnestly studying Japanese everyday.

Not long after she's come to Japan, she wrote lyrics in Japanese to a song.

あおいそらはいつもおなじで　こどくなふしぎさね
かなしみもさびしさもすべて　かくしているみたい
うそでもねえ　ほほえむことはすてきなことね
涙だけが　すなおにないている
(MOON & SUNRISE)

Not knowing Kanji, she wrote her thoughts in Hiragana.
Only the word "tears" is written in Kanji.
14 years old girl who lived apart from her family, even when bathed in spotlight and showing smiles to fans, she still had conflicts inside.

Success brought by stoicness

Her career in Japan is full of records.
The first Korean artist to hold arena tour in Japan.
The youngest foreign artist to perform in Kouhaku in 2002. Her Kouhaku attendance continued after that for 6 consecutive years.
6 consecutive studio albums ranking first on Oricon Album Weekly Chart since debut. She was the 2nd female artist in history to hold the record.

Now not only the chart, but she became an artist and a producer who feels the sense of joy and accomplishment by delivering better music for the audience.

Even during costume and makeup change for the interview, she kept practicing filling the studio with the volume of her voice. Stoic through and through.

BoA continued challenging herself by debuting in the US with "Eat You Up" in 2008. Holding a big success in Japan, she started all over again on a new ground.

"I've learnt a lot. Things are difficult as much as you think they are. If you think it'd be alright, then the world looks much brighter."

BoA spoke calmly of the difficulties she's faced.

In 2014, she made a Hollywood debut by starring lead role in the movie "Make Your Move". Last year she worked as an MC in a huge audition TV show "Produce 101 Season 2".

BoA who keeps running on gorgeous path and might even appear as one with no hesitation. In her album set to release on Feb 14, there's a song that expresses what's deep in her mind.

"Watashi Konomamade Iinokana (Am I OK like this?...)"

The new album "Watashi Konomamade Iinokana" concept is "choices in adult female's life".

One day, I found that 

people around me do not scold me anymore.

Please tell me what I've done wrong.

I don't wanna ask 

but if I don't, I can't change.

       （Watashi Konomamade Iinokana）

"I thought I'd definitely be married by the age of 30. But marriage is not that easy."

"But I still enjoy my work so I have no choice but to put my work as first priority. After turning 30, there's no need to hurry anymore. I've strangely turned philosophical."

"Career, Marriage, Relationship" the main life choices women in their 30's face. BoA also has problems her peers have.

"When I was in my 10's or 20's, I can work even after pulling an all nighter but after turning 30, the fatigue and lack of sleep rapidly shows on my face. Skin also turned dry and sometimes I need to get IV drips. As a person who needs to present myself in front of people, I have to strictly secure my sleep time. (LOL)"

Even though she has transformed into a woman, but sometimes she'd laugh until her face got crumpled. From frank words to private stories, one can see an adolescent side of her still remained from her debut time.

"Comparing oneself to others is meaningless."

Standing alone on stage for 17 years. Where does that power come from?

"I don't compare myself to others. Compare for what? To feel jealous when you see things you don't have? That's negative thinking. Or to feel superior to others? That's just self gratification."

"I think comparing oneself to others and, even unconsciously, feel superior or inferior is the beginning to losing self confidence."

Message to her peers "Take good care of your own happiness" 

There is no trace of the girl who came to Japan alone and fought with loneliness and pain by herself anymore.

"As a human being, I cherish my happiness. Whenever I get caught up living a busy life, whether in the past or even now, I'd always search for what would help me spiritually. Recently it's exercising outdoor. Usually my job is indoor working in studio and I've only discovered recently that moving about in the nature really feels good."

She said with a natural smile.

Having spent her teenage years in a different way from others but found herself having the same problems with women her own age.

I asked her for a message for her peers.

"I want everyone to think that no matter what choice they make, it's a step toward a life that they can be happy with."


Singer debut, Overseas advancement, Difficulties with Japanese language.
No matter how big the influence from those around us, in the end it's the result from every choice we made ourselves. Choices we made to be happy.

VDO BoA answering fans' questions

Q: You wear different sneakers every time. How many pairs do you have?
A: I've never counted so I don't know but I've got a lot. Since I don't wear high heel shoes, I usually wear sneakers.

Q: What's your fav track off the new album?
A: I like all of them that's why I chose them for the album. I filmed Jazzclub MV in New York so I have many fun memories for the song but I love all of them.

Q: What's your recent hobby?
A: Last year I was into golf but since it's too cold now I'm having a break from it.

Q: You've said before that you like the word "zeitaku(luxury)" in Japanese. What's your zeitaku now?
A: A holiday. (It means she's so tired she needed a break.)

Q: Artist you wanna collaborate with?
A: Hirai Ken. People say both of us have sad singing voices so I wanna collab on a sad song.

Lyrics: Kenzie
Music: Kenzie, Jamil 'Digi' Chammas, Adrian Mckinnon, MZMC
Arrange: Jamil 'Digi' Chammas

When our eyes meet, the moment becomes a picture.
Two nobodies become main characters of a movie.
Coffee becomes sweeter. Street outside the window looks prettier.
I know how much both you and I have felt so lonely

Tonight, let’s go wild
As if playing around
Us two embracing, biting, kissing each other
Everyday everyday everyday

Why hesitate? Just come and sit here.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I'm sending you a signal.
In a simple manner.
What you are feeling now
Just accept it. Baby
The entwined glances we gave each other
It's only a matter of time.
Now we want something similar.

The more I whisper
The more you tug the chair.
Your breathing on me
I like this feeling
Night is better than day
Because our cautions
Become a little looser
Tell me tell me

When the unfamiliar hand touches my waist
Spectacular sparks fly
Cause your love is a fire,
falling for you
It's ok to burn tonight
Let me feel you
Cause I, I like it I like it
Cause I, I like it I like it
Cause I, I like it I like it
Cause I, I like it I like it

I will cross this line
The moment when two lights blend
What color will we see?
I do not know either.
Judging from your facial expression
Your heart is also like mine.
I'm going to be a little more honest now.

I will become a wave
that hits your beach
Maybe you and I
we cannot stop anyway.
Night is better than day
Because our minds are colder
And we get a little more sensitive.
Tell me tell me

When the unfamiliar hand touches my waist
Spectacular sparks fly
Cause your love is a fire,
falling for you
It's ok to burn tonight
Let me feel you
Cause I, I like it I like it
Cause I, I like it I like it
Cause I, I like it I like it
Cause I, I like it I like it

Your fingers brush past me and wake me
I respond only to you yeah
I like that you lead me sometimes
The endless and deep conversations continue on
Please embrace my shoulders a little more yeah I like it
Whisper to me deeper yeah I like it

Oh oh oh oh
Oh perfect I like it
Your love is out of this world

When the unfamiliar hand touches my waist
Spectacular sparks fly
Cause your love is a fire,
falling for you
It's ok to burn tonight
Let me feel you
Cause I, I like it I like it
Cause I, I like it I like it
Cause I, I like it I like it
Cause I, I like it I like it

Cause I, I like it I like it
Cause I, I like it I like it
Cause I, I like it I like it
Cause I, I like it I like it

I have invisible eyes, I told you before.
They reflect things as they are, I don't know why.
I give you back exactly what you give me. Alright oh
I believe in you exactly the same way you believe in me. Alright oh yeah

You and I, we bend the future as we wish
You know that gravity is bigger than fear.
As one can see, as one believes
Then we can grow much bigger. yeah

You and I
You and I
You and I
Bend the universe
You and I
You and I
You and I
We bend it together

So we, we bend
I touch your hand
And I can see
What you believe

Actually, I think we're a little brighter than light.
If we put all the colors together, then we have the universe.
We may have come from a larger place than the universe.

You and I
You and I

Bend the universe

So we, we bend
I touch your hand

Actually, I think we're a little brighter than light.
The universe we made spreads with faster than light speed.
If we put all the colors together, then we have the universe.
Shall I tell you a bigger truth? Yeah
We may have come from a larger place than the universe.

Lyrics: JQ, Moon YeRin
Music: Sonny J. Mason Osuji, Karen Poole
Arrange: Sonny J. Mason Osuji

Our meetings, though familiar and relaxing, have become boring
I don't feel even a slight beating of my heart
I was calm about our natural break up

Erasing your traces
that have taken hold at every place.
Each day with nothing to do
brought me strange feeling.

I've only realized the situation now. I so hate the silence.
I put on the music loudly

So that when I call you out of habit
Nobody would hear.
So that when I shed tears
Nobody would notice.
I want you back (said I want you back, I said I want you back) x4

Why am I like this? Thought I'd be fine with the breakup
But it's different from what I thought.
Like the arrow that came back, you stuck in my heart

I try to forget but
At the end of my nose is your scent
Your warmth lingers at my fingertips
Everything still remembers you

I've only realized the situation now. I so hate the silence.
I put on the music loudly

So that when I call you out of habit
Nobody would hear.
So that when I shed tears
Nobody would notice.
I want you back (said I want you back, I said I want you back) x4

Tangled tape
Just like us
The harder I try to undo, the more complicated it'd become
I'll bury only the good memories
deep inside the flowing melody.

When I mistakenly call you
Even if you hear me, please just pretend not to.
So that I won't regret the night I spent with you every day.
I want you back (said I want you back, I said I want you back) x4

So that when I call you out of habit again
No one would hear.
So that when I shed tears, nobody would notice.

I feel dizzy but at the same time, it's sweet.
I can not predict it. Incessantly greedy.
So I wonder more
Is it sunlight or is it flame?

Somehow I feel uneasy
I know it's dangerous but
I can't control this overflowing curiosity

Tension like the night before the storm
It's like a signal to me.
All the moments

My answer is Yeah
Will you take my hand?
Feel uneasy? Yeah
I’ll be waiting waiting waiting for
Cunningly Yeah
Even though everyone is saying no
Can you handle me?
Can you handle me?
Can you handle me?

If we are together then all is enough
Like speeding without control
Bitter-sweet is a fitting word
It's bitter and then sweet, distressing me.

Even though the ending might be shocking
There's nothing to fear.
We are intertwined and tangled just like that.

I was pulled intensely
Our first meeting was like tightrope-walking
Dangerously thrilling

My answer is Yeah
Will you take my hand?
Feel uneasy? Yeah
I’ll be waiting waiting waiting for
Cunningly Yeah
Even though everyone is saying no
Can you handle me?
Can you handle me?
Can you handle me?

The moment you and I met
Caused a spark to grow into fire.
The moment your hand touched me
A beautiful prelude started

Woo Hope
Is nowhere to be seen in me
Woo There's really none?
Is nowhere by my side

Woo Hope
Woo There's really none?
Woo The end of a beautiful beginning
My answer is Yeah

Busy everyday life
No time for myself again
Looking back, suddenly all I see
is only traces of time

Even for a little while
I want to leave for myself
It doesn't matter where to

No purpose. No destination. No plan
I'm gonna go. When else will I have the chance?
Let's not hesitate
It might be selfish but I don't care

No no no limit Let's go! far far far away
No no no limit (Uh nananana)
No no no limit Let's go! far far far away
No no no limit Like this, now, set me free

Tell me what you wanna do
Tell me what you wanna do

No purpose. No destination. No plan
To the place that I want
To the place my feet would take me
It might be impulsive but I don't care

No no no limit Let's go! far far far away
No no no limit (Uh nananana)
No no no limit Let's go! far far far away
No no no limit Like this, now, set me free

Tell me what you wanna do
Tell me what you wanna do

My everyday where I get accustomed
to spending my time for others.
My alone time
has reduced this much.
Not for others
I'm gonna change it to time for myself
Let’s try to let it go

No no no limit Let's go! far far far away
No no no limit (Uh nananana)
No no no limit Let's go! far far far away
No no no limit Like this, now, set me free

No matter where you wanna go

It's been so long last I felt this way
It's so weird.
Why do I keep smiling
just by looking at you?
Do you feel the same way?

When you smile even just a little bit, my whole world changes
But it ends in too short a moment
I wish you'd approach me with a sincere heart
It's not difficult. Slowly like that.

I'm excited. Feel like I'm flying
Even if it's just my delusional thought
It's ok. It's enough for me now. Woo

All the focus in the world
It's all set on you Baby
Can this really happen?
Do not pretend you do not know my heart.
I won't pressure you
I just wanted to let you know my heart.
Please know my heart Baby
Just hold my hand yeah yeah

I can not express myself in words.
When I look at you, it's like I own the whole world.
This strange trembling I havn't felt in a long time.
This unfamiliar throbbing of my heart

I feel like all energy has left my body
Time seems to have stopped.
Only the two of us busy about inside Woo

All the focus in the world
It's all set on you Baby
Can this really happen?
Do not pretend you do not know my heart.
I won't pressure you
I just wanted to let you know my heart.
Please know my heart Baby
Just hold my hand yeah yeah

WOMAN
Lyrics: BoA
Music: Jon Hume, Hookman, Ivy Adara
Arrange: Jon Hume

Confined in the same frame of thoughts.
Why can't you move forward. It's right in front of you.
Take a step and your view opens
Run farther

Just saying you know doesn't mean you know (Y’all no no)
Our own looks and gestures (I’ve got it)
I'm not two of them mixed in (I know it)
I don't exist as someone's second
Feels good to be a woman

Hey yeah yeah yeah don't compare. No
I shine as I am. I'm beautiful enough
To be a woman
Hey yeah yeah yeah
Be stylish
I enjoy experiences in the picture of modernity
I'm a real woman

Want something like me?
Show me you then
Find diamonds with pearls
Be tricked, trick and disrupt
Don't let the eyes fool you

When they forced you to be womanly (Girls on top)
When they didn't know what being a woman is all about (Did’t know that)
Now I know what is needed (I’ve got it)
Me with inner confidence
Feels good to be a woman

Hey yeah yeah yeah
There's more than meet the eyes
I haven't shown you everything
To be a woman
Hey yeah yeah yeah
whatever you do
In the dazzling spotlight within me
That I've always cherished
Is a real woman

Rising confidence I've got it
I'm free to do what I want, Paycheck
My smile steals your heart, Heart Queen
Everything is perfect, All set
Feels good to be a woman

Hey yeah yeah yeah
don't compare No
I shine as I am. I'm beautiful enough
To be a woman
Hey yeah yeah yeah
Be stylish
I enjoy experiences in the picture of modernity
I'm a real woman


홧김에 (Irreversible)
Lyrics: BoA
Music: BoA
Arrange: Shaun Kim , STAINBOYS

fight and break up. I console myself
It's ok. It's ok. It's still nothing.
It doesn't feel real to me
It's just okay. It's just okay.

A flushing face, a rising voice
Words I don't usually say
Hurtful words different than what I think
yea, right here let's break up

Unknowingly I acted out of character
Woo I irreversibly spit it out (It's all gone baby)
Really, like this, really, like this
Woo, I can't believe it

When I open my eyes, good morning
Before I sleep, good night
The same greeting everyday, oh

When I open my eyes, good morning
Before I sleep, good night
The same greeting everyday, oh

As long as the passing time is
Emptiness washes over me
I don't remember anything
Except for the word 'if'
I shouldn't have said that
Shouldn't have gotten mad at it either

I just have too much pride
It was hard to even say sorry
You should've let me win one, what's your problem
Why did you let me go?

Unknowingly I acted out of character
Woo I irreversibly spit it out (It's all gone baby)
Really, like this, really, like this
Woo, I can't believe it

Turning around and walking forward
Neglecting what's left behind
The end is always like that, cold
A love said a final farewell to me

Unknowingly I acted out of character
Woo I spat it out in anger (It's all gone baby)
Really, like this, really, like this
Woo, I can't believe it

When I open my eyes, good morning
Before I sleep, good night
The same greeting everyday, oh

When I open my eyes, good morning
Before I sleep, good night
The same greeting everyday, oh

Lyrics:BoA
Music:BoA, STAINBOYS
Arrange: BoA, STAINBOYS

I imagined the scene
where you are with someone else
then I got upset and angry
Even though it's just a thought of what could happen

You'd say it's nonsense
We both know each other. You know me I know you
Just once, if it happens
Really just one time, baby
Will I be able to turn a blind eye?

Seems like I can. Not because I'm stupid
But because I love you that much, I need you that much
But please don't do it. Don't break my trust.
If I get hurt, it'll leave a scar and it's too painful
Please protect me, baby.

Woo yeah woo yeah

Is it just me who lost sleep
thinking about this?
You never did?
It's not that I don't trust you.
It's just these thoughts that pop into my head
and made me toss and turn in bed

I don't wanna doubt you so I won't even ask you.
Though it's clear I have to wonder endlessly
Just once, if it happens
Really just one time, baby
I will turn a blind eye for you

Seems like I can. Not because I'm stupid
But because I love you that much, I need you that much
But please don't do it. Don't break my trust.
If I get hurt, it'll leave a scar and it's too painful
Please protect me, baby.

I know why you were like that
The new wind that blew past you
made you sway for a little bit
Even if the time we spent together fade away
In the end I can't go on without you
I'm just like that.

Seems like I can. Not because I'm stupid
But because I love you that much, I need you that much
But please don't do it. Don't break my trust.
If I get hurt, it'll leave a scar and it's too painful
Please protect me, baby.

Woo yeah woo yeah

단순한 방식으로만
지금 네가 느끼는 거
그래 받아들여 Baby
둘 사이 엉킨 눈빛
시간이 걸릴 것 같은 걸
지금 우린 비슷한 것을 원해

내가 속삭일수록
너는 의자를 당겨
네 숨소리가 닿은

낮보단 밤이
경계의 날이
조금 더 느슨해지니까
Tell me tell me

낯선 그 손끝이 허리쯤을 스칠 때
화려한 불꽃을 본 듯해
Cause your love is a fire,
falling for you
이 밤 타버려도 좋아
너를 느끼게 해줘
Cause I, I like it I like it
Cause I, I like it I like it
Cause I, I like it I like it
Cause I, I like it I like it

이 선을 넘을 거야 난
두 빛이 섞이는 순간
어떤 색을 보게 될지
나도 모르는 걸
표정을 보아하니
네 맘도 내 맘과 같은 걸
이젠 좀 더 솔직해지기로 해

나는 파도가 되고
너의 해변을 덮쳐
어쩌면 너와 난
멎지 않을 거야
낮보단 밤이
차가운 맘이
조금 더 예민해지니까
Tell me tell me

낯선 그 손끝이 허리쯤을 스칠 때
화려한 불꽃을 본 듯해
Cause your love is a fire,
falling for you
이 밤 타버려도 좋아
너를 느끼게 해줘
Cause I, I like it I like it
Cause I, I like it I like it
Cause I, I like it I like it
Cause I, I like it I like it

나를 스치고 또 깨워 너의 손길
오직 너에게만 반응하게 돼 yeah
가끔은 나를 이끌어가는 네가 좋아
멈출 수 없는 깊은 대화는 계속
어깨를 조금 더 감싸줘 yeah I like it
더 깊이 내게 속삭여줘 yeah I like it

Oh oh oh oh

싸우고 헤어지고 나를 달래지
괜찮아 괜찮아 아직은 아무렇지 않아
사실 난 실감이 나질 않아
그냥 그래 그냥 그래

달아오르는 얼굴 높아지는 목소리
평소에 하지 않았던 나답지 않은 말들에
생각과는 달리 나오는 아픈 말들
그래 여기서 우리 그만하자

나도 모르게 나답지 않게
Woo 홧김에 뱉어 버렸어 (It’s all gone baby)
정말 이대로 정말 이렇게

눈을 뜨면 Good morning
자기전엔 Good night
매일같던 인사도 Oh

눈을 뜨면 Good morning
자기전엔 Good night
매일같던 인사도 Oh

흘러가는 시간 크기만큼
허전함이 밀려와
만약에란 단어밖에 떠오르지가 않아
그때 그 말을 내뱉지 말았어야 했어
그때 그 말에 화내지도 말았어야 했어

사실 난 못난 자존심 너무 앞서서
미안해 라는 그 말 한마디가 어려웠어
한 번만 또 내게 져주지 왜 그랬어
왜 날 놓아버렸어

나도 모르게 나답지 않게
Woo 홧김에 뱉어 버렸어 (It’s all gone baby)
정말 이대로 정말 이렇게
Woo 믿기지가 않아

등을 돌린 채로 앞만 보고 걸어가네
멀어지는 모습 그냥 방치하고 있네
마지막은 항상 그래 차갑기만 해
또 한 번의 사랑 내게 작별 인사를 하네

나도 모르게 나답지 않게
Woo 홧김에 뱉어 버렸어 (It’s all gone baby)
정말 이대로 정말 이렇게
Woo 믿기지가 않아

눈을 뜨면 Good morning

아찔하지만 좀 더 달콤해
예상할 수가 없어 자꾸 욕심이 나
그래서 난 더 더 궁금해
햇살인지 아님 불길인지

뭔지 모르게 불안한데
위험하다는 걸 알면서
넘치는 호기심 주체 못해

폭풍전야 같은 긴장감
내게 보내는 신호 같아
모든 순간들이 다

내 대답은 Yeah
Will you take my hand?
불안하지 Yeah
I’ll be waiting waiting waiting for
교활하게 yeah
모두가 아니라고 하는데도
나를 감당할 수 있겠니?
나를 감당할 수 있겠니?
나를 감당할 수 있겠니?

우리 둘이면 다 충분해
걷잡을 수 없는 질주 같아
Bitter-sweet 적당한 말 같아
쓰고 또 달고 괴롭히니까

충격적인 결말이라도
두려울 것도 하나 없어
그렇게 휘감기고 엉키고

강렬하게 끌어당겨 날
외줄타기 같은 만남도
위태로워 짜릿해

내 대답은 Yeah
Will you take my hand?
불안하지 Yeah
I’ll be waiting waiting waiting for
교활하게 yeah
모두가 아니라고 하는데도
나를 감당할 수 있겠니?
나를 감당할 수 있겠니?
나를 감당할 수 있겠니?

너와 내가 만난 순간
커지고 퍼져가는 불씨 보게 돼
손이 닿은 그 찰나
아름다운 서막의 시작

Woo 희망이란
내 안에선 보이지 않아
Woo 없는걸까
내 곁에선 보이지 않아

너도 나와 같은 마음일까?

살짝만 웃어줘도 세상이 변하는데
너무 짧은 순간에 끝나
솔직한 마음으로 다가와 주면 되는데
어렵지 않게 그래 천천히

날아갈듯한 기분에 들떠있는 걸
혼자만의 착각이어도

그냥 내 손 잡아주면 돼 yeah yeah

말로는 다 표현이 되질 않아
너를 보고 있으면 세상을 다 가진 것만 같아
이 묘한 떨림이 오랜만에 느낀 감정 같아
익숙하지 않을듯한 설레임

온 몸의 기운이 빠져나간 이 기분
시간이 멈춘 것 같아
그 속에 분주한 우리 둘 Woo

세상에 모든 포커스가
다 너에게로 맞춰져 있어 Baby
세상에 이럴 일이냐고
모른 척 말고 내 맘을 알아줘요
절대 강요 안 할게

괜찮아 지금도 충분해 Woo

세상에 모든 포커스가
다 너에게로 맞춰져 있어 Baby
세상에 이럴 일이냐고
모른 척 말고 내 맘을 알아줘요
절대 강요 안 할게
그냥 내 맘을 알려주고 싶었을 뿐 그것뿐
내 맘을 알아줘요 Baby
그냥 내 손 잡아주면 돼 yeah yeah

난 투명한 눈을 가졌다니까, 말했잖아

네가 내게 준 대로 나도 네게 다 줄 거야 Alright oh
네가 날 믿는 대로 나도 너를 믿을 거야 Alright oh yeah

원하는 대로 미래를 휘어대 너와 나
두려움보다 중력이 더 큰걸 알잖아
보이는 대로 믿는 그대로
그럼 우린 더 커질 수 있어 yeah

너와 나 나나나
너와 나 나나나
너와 나 나나나
Bend the universe
너와 나 나나나
너와 나 나나나
너와 나 나나나
We bend it together

So we, we bend
I touch your hand
And I can see
What you believe

사실 우리가 빛보다 조금 더 밝은 것 같아
모든 색을 담으면 우주가 돼
우리는 우주보다 더 큰 곳에서 왔을지도 몰라

너와 나 나나나
너와 나 나나나
너와 나 나나나
Bend the universe
너와 나 나나나
너와 나 나나나
너와 나 나나나
We bend it together

So we, we bend
I touch your hand

우리는 우주보다 더 큰 곳에서


7. If
작사 보아 (BoA) 작곡 보아 (BoA), STAINBOYS 편곡 보아 (BoA), STAINBOYS

그런 상상을 해봤어
내가 아닌 다른 사람과 함께 있는 네 모습
기분이 나빠 화가나
생각일 뿐인데 왠지 있을법한 얘기라

말도 안 되는 얘기라고 하겠지
서로를 아는데 You know me I know you
한번이라도 만약
정말로 한번 baby
눈감아 줄 수 있을까

그럴 수 있을 것 같아 못나서가 아니라
그만큼 널 사랑하기에 필요하기에
그래도 그러지 말아줘 내 믿음 깨지마
상처 나면 흉터 남아 아프니까 그래
나를 지켜줘 baby

Woo yeah woo yeah

나만 이런 생각 땜에
잠도 못 이루고 있는 거니
넌 그런 적 없어?
못믿어서가 아니라 그냥
문득 떠오른 생각들 때문에
뒤척일 뿐이야

의심이 싫어서 묻지도 않았지
한없이 궁금해질게 뻔한데
한번이라도 만약
정말로 한번 baby
모른척 눈감아줄래

그럴 수 있을 것 같아 못나서가 아니라
그만큼 널 사랑하기에 필요하기에
그래도 그러지 말아줘 내 믿음 깨지마
상처 나면 흉터 남아 아프니까 그래
나를 지켜줘 baby

알아 왜 그랬었는지
스쳐가는 새 바람에 잠시
너도 흔들렸다는 걸
함께한 시간에 무뎌져 가도
역시 난 너 없인 안돼
난 그래

그럴 수 있을 것 같아 못나서가 아니라
그만큼 널 사랑하기에 필요하기에
그래도 그러지 말아줘 내 믿음 깨지마
상처 나면 흉터 남아 아프니까 그래
나를 지켜줘 baby

Woo yeah woo yeah


8. No Limit
작사 보아 (BoA) 작곡 보아 (BoA), Shaun Kim, STAINBOYS 편곡 보아 (BoA), Shaun Kim, STAINBOYS

Uh Nananana yeah

하루하루 살기 바쁜데
나를 위한 시간은 또 없네
돌아보면 언제부터 생긴
시간의 흔적들뿐이네

잠시라도 나
나를 위해 떠나가볼래
어디든 상관없잖아

목적도 없이 종착지도 없이 No plan
가보는 거야 언제 또 이래 보겠어
우리 고민하지마
이기적이라 해도 I don’t care

No no no limit 가자 더 더 더 멀리
No no no limit (Uh nananana)
No no no limit 가자 더 더 더 멀리
No no no limit 지금 이대로 set me free

Tell me what you wanna do
Tell me what you wanna do

목적도 없이 종착지도 없이 No plan
원하는대로 발길이 닿는
그곳을 찾아 따라가볼래
즉흥적이라 해도 I don’t care

No no no limit 가자 더 더 더 멀리
No no no limit (Uh nananana)
No no no limit 가자 더 더 더 멀리
No no no limit 지금 이대로 set me free

Tell me what you wanna do
Tell me what you wanna do

누군가를 위해 보낸
시간들이 더 익숙해져 버린 내 일상
혼자만의 시간은
이렇게 줄어드네
누굴 위한 내가
아닌 나를 위해 변해볼래
Let’s try to let it go

No no no limit 가자 더 더 더 멀리
No no no limit (Uh nananana)
No no no limit 가자 더 더 더 멀리
No no no limit 지금 이대로 set me free

그냥 하고 싶은 대로 어디든
가고 싶은 대로 let’s go
그래 모든걸 믿고
너를 내려놔
Stay young and fresh

우린 쉬어가는 중이라고
마음 편하게 생각해
Stay young and fresh
지금 이대로 let it go


9. Good Love
작사 Kenzie 작곡 Kenzie, Jamil 'Digi' Chammas, Adrian Mckinnon, MZMC 편곡 Jamil 'Digi' Chammas

눈과 눈이 마주치면, 순간은 사진이 돼
아무도 아니었던 두 사람 영화의 주인공이 돼
커피는 달콤해지고 창 밖의 거리가 예뻐 보여 보여
I know 나, 너 얼마나 혼자 외로워했었니?

Tonight, let’s go wild
장난치는 척
둘이서 껴안고 깨물고 입맞추면
매일 매일 매일

Cause I’m In Love! Ah Ah
Yeah I need that, want that, give it all.
Yes I’m In Love! Ah Ah
난 고민 안 해 널 믿을게
둘인 마음이 하나로 커져가고 있어
Cause I’m In Love! Ah Ah
Oh I need that, want that, give me that good love

밤새 긴 통화를 하고, 자는 시간 아까워
안 가던 곳을 다녀 baby 서로의 세계를 알아가
넌 날 웃게 해 재미있는 얘기로 가득 가득
I know 나, 너 왜 지금껏 어디서 서로를 몰랐던 거야

Please stay 내 안에
사랑스러운 그 얼굴 매일 볼 수 있게 해줘 해줘 해줘

Cause I’m In Love! Ah Ah
Yeah I need that, want that, give it all.
Yes I’m In Love! Ah Ah
난 고민 안 해 널 믿을게
둘인 마음이 하나로 커져가고 있어
Cause I’m In Love! Ah Ah
Oh I need that, want that, give me that good love

혼자이던, 널 몰랐던
그 많던 밤들 안아주고 싶어
네 온기로 가득한 이 밤
Let’s go on & on.

Woo 멀리 가지마
둘이서 껴안고 깨물고 입맞추면
매일 매일 매일

Cause I’m In Love! Ah Ah
Yeah I need that, want that, give it all.
Yes I’m In Love! Ah Ah
난 고민 안 해 널 믿을게
둘인 마음이 하나로 커져가고 있어
Cause I’m In Love! Ah Ah
Oh I need that, want that, give me that good love


10. 습관 (I want you back)
작사 제이큐(JQ), 문예린 작곡 Sonny J. Mason Osuji, Karen Poole 편곡 Sonny J. Mason Osuji

익숙해 편안한 듯 따분해진 만남에
설렘조차 없는데
난 자연스레 마주했던 이별에 담담했어

모든 곳에 자리 잡은
네 흔적들을 지워내고
비워진 하루 속에
밀려드는 낯선 기분

이제야 실감이나 이 적막이 너무 싫어
음악을 크게 틀어

또 습관처럼 널 부른대도
아무도 듣지 못하게
어느새 또 흐르는
눈물을 들키지 않게
I want you back (said I want you back, I said I want you back) x4

왜 이래 괜찮을 줄 알았는데 이별에
예상과는 다르게
되돌아온 화살처럼 내 맘에 네가 박혀

잊으려고 애를 써도
내 코 끝에는 너의 향기
손끝엔 너의 온기
모든 것이 널 기억해

이제야 실감이나 이 적막이 너무 싫어
음악을 크게 틀어

또 습관처럼 널 부른대도
아무도 듣지 못하게
어느새 또 흐르는
눈물을 들키지 않게
I want you back (said I want you back, I said I want you back) x4

엉켜버린 tape
마치 우리 둘처럼
애써 풀려고 하면 더 복잡해 지는 걸
좋은 기억만 흘러나온 멜로디 속에
깊이 가둘래 혹

실수로 나 널 부른대도
들어도 모른 척 해줘
매일 너로 지새운 이 밤이 아깝지 않게
I want you back (said I want you back, I said I want you back) x4

또 습관처럼 널 부른대도
아무도 듣지 못하게
어느새 또 흐르는 눈물을 들키지 않게
