BoA in NACK5 monaka

The show host, Ikebe Ai, is very impressed by BoA's no make-up face and her beautiful hair.

B(for BoA): From now on, I should wear make up more. Everybody keeps asking me "No Makeup?" LOL

A(for Ai): It's very rare for women to be able to walk on the street without make-up. 

B: I don't get to walk on streets much anyway plus I've been rehearsing a lot lately. Sweating while having make-up on is not good for the skin.

Ai reads out long profile of BoA then they talk about the new album WHO'S BACK.

B: When I got an email from the producer asking for my opinion on the title "WHO'S BACK", I thought it sounds strong and impactful suitable for the album.

B: Lately, I've participated more in song and album production, be it song selection or other stuff. This way, my affection for the song and album grows bigger.

A: What's the song you love most in the album?

B: Only One since it's a self composed/written song and including in Korea, I've been singing it for one whole year. 

Then they talk about First Time.

B: The lyrics are about how our days might feel the same everyday but actually everyday is different. So let's start each day with new and fresh feeling.

A: What about your every morning?

B: My fatigue gauge is different everyday LOL Sometimes it's affected by tiredness from the day before. Weather is also very important. Don't you think summer this year doesn't feel very summer-like? It's not humid-hot like usual but it also has a lot of cool and rainy days. In Korea, it feels like summer is about to end soon. The temperature gap between day/night is big.

Talk about First Time MV

A: It was your idea to shoot the MV documentary-style.

B: I think that if the listeners see the fun we've had during production process, it'd be more fun when they listen to the song. There's a limit in describing the fun in words so let's film it. We actually recorded the song and filmed the MV at the same time. Both the staffs and I kept working not minding the camera. The fans seem to like it too so I'm glad.

A: You look so energetic recording the song.

B: Yeah usually my recording session is like that so I thought it'd be a waste if the fun is not conveyed to the audience.

A: You also made tortilla.

B: It was quesadilla. I can't sing when I'm hungry. LOL So I always have to eat something in the middle of recording. Usually we'll call for delivery but this time the staff asked what I wanted to eat. I said Mexican food. Quesadilla. So the staff said we could go get ingredients from the supermarket nearby. Everything was so spontaneous. They seemed to worry about the taste though but since it came out tasty, everyone was happy.

A: The staff said food would put a smile on BoA's face. 

B: I think it's human instinct. LOL Next time, I'll make curry rice. 

Back to the no make-up talk. 

A: You look very beautiful without makeup.

B: Beautiful? I'd say I look plain.

A: No. Please tell us your skin secret.

B: I don't wear make-up if it's not for work. Normally I just don't like make-up. Well actually radio is also work but since I don't have to show my face so I often don't wear makeup in radio shows.

B: I make sure my skin is not dry especially during seasons change. Even though it's summer now but our skin is dry anyway because of the air-condition so I use sheet pack(mask) regularly.

B: I'm looking forward to meeting the fans in various places though this upcoming album and live tour. Please come and have fun together.
