Tail of Hope promotion

Since I did this kind of post for Only One, it's only right that I do the same thing for Tail of Hope as well. XD

So let's see what we've got, apart from the average TV CM, and ads truck running around Shibuya and Harajuku.

[translation] Tail of Hope Excite Interview 130626

Excite：「Tail of Hope」 is a song fit for summer.
BoA：It was used an an opening theme for a drama that was on air since April, so recording was done since winter (LOL). I felt it was fresh the first time I heard it. It also has the trendy digital sound. Heard that the drama was about females in a hospital fighting with the society, judging from the sound and melody, I predicted the lyrics would be about giving hope and my prediction was right. (LOL)

[skip the part about singing this song and MV filming except some interesting tidbits]
BoA：MV was shot at Saipan right before golden week so it was not crowded with people.

Excite：Which do you prefer, mountain or sea?
BoA：Sea, I guess. wait.. I'll pick mountain. I don't like strong sunbeams. It's not hot in mountains.

[talking about the song "Tail of Hope" and its message *skip*]

【BoA】 The MV was shot in Saipan. The sea was beautiful. I felt bliss when I was on the yacht, surrounded by the sea and the sky. But the sun was so strong and there was also additional lights for shooting, so beneath the smile, it was kinda tough.


――Oh but from the MV, it looks like you had so much fun there. I naturally became energetic after watching it.
【BoA】　Then fighting with the sunbeams for a long time was all worth it.

――There was no rain the entire shooting?
【BoA】　It was going to rain according to the weather forecast but there was no rain at all during shooting. It rained heavily as soon as we finished though.

【PRIVATE Q＆A】 fashion&beauty

Q. You're a fashion icon. How do you dress privately?
BoA: "Comfort" is the most important condition (LOL). I mostly dress casually. I've been buying a lot of clipper shoes lately. They're funky but it's cute when you mismatch them with feminine one-piece dresses. I also like fake brand name T-shirts.

SOUL 10th Anniversary Fanclub Event 130629

On Jun 29th 2013, SOUL 10th Anniversary Fanclub Event was held in 2 rounds (one in the afternoon and one in the evening) at Stellar Ball in Shinagawa, Tokyo with a total of 3,000 fans attending.

News about the said event are reported on various news site, such as here.

I compiled all the fanaccount translations I tweeted earlier in this post.

[translation] Tail of Hope Interview from modelpress PART A

Unlike in the Only One promotion period where all her interview articles are variations of the same interview (some are even exact replicas of the others.), for Tail of Hope, all the interview articles available on pia, modelpress, excite and oricon are all different ones.

I'll try to translate all the questions/answers I find interesting to read but it will take time. >_<

For now, please enjoy this modelpress PART A first. PART B is about fashion&beauty. Not sure if I'll translate it. ^^;

[lyrics kanji, EN translation] Baby You..

Lyrics：BoA,Sara Sakurai
Music：BoA
いつからだろう
二人だけの love sound
愛し合えたすべての moments
思い出すたび
色褪せてゆくの
モノクロのセカイになった
