[translation] 140901-04 j-wave I A.M.

BoA guested on "CLOSE TO YOU" corner for 4 days consecutively.

1st day "no makeup"

BoA wears eye-glasses to make it less obvious she's not wearing any make-up.

BoA:I'm a little disappointed people talk more about my no-makeup face than the real content of First Time PV.

BoA: Instead of running, walking fast on an incline treadmill is better for fat burning.

---------------------------------------------



2nd day "relaxing"

BoA wants to see "Begin Again".

BoA talked about relaxing = listening to music, watching movies  at home and making candles in her free time.

The host misunderstood and thought BoA had atelier(workshop) at home for making candles but no, BoA wants one though.

BoA said it's a stress reliever watching things get destroyed in action movies then ponders if she sounded psychotic.

BoA usually takes a shower right after she gets home at midnight  but before she realizes it, it's already 1am,2am or even 3am.

Time flies so fast when she spends time doing nothing in particular (just watch tv, etc. relaxing herself)

The number of times @BoAkwon cooked at home: one!! LOL
-------------------------------------------

3rd day "stage"

BoA talked about being a judge on KPOP STAR and performing on stage today

BoA said the judge job enabled her to view performing more objectively and consider compatibility between song&singer more.

When things one wants to do doesn't match his/her style, BoA as a producer, tries to make it match better.

BoA's still nervous before going on stage. Sometimes she can't remember anything after performing.

She's most nervous in music station since it's live, and kouhaku (also live).

her staff made it worse by repeating "It's Kouhaku! It's Kouhaku!". BoA snapped back "I know! I know!"

BoA enjoys talking with music producers too much, her staff have to intervene sometimes saying "Next schedule is coming up!"

Her BTS work has changed from following things people have decided for her to deciding things together.

--------------------------
4th day "challenge"

Q: Heard you wanted to fly?
BoA: I want to try skydiving. People who did it before said it was just plain falling before the parachute's working though. LOL Human can swim but cannot fly so I want to experience what it feels like to fly.

BoA: One of my friends did it in Hawaii and my junior did it in Switzerland (*it's Taemin). They all said it was once in a lifetime experience so I want to try as well. There are many of my songs that have "flying" in the lyrics but I can't relate to it because I've never done it. LOL

Q: You like extreme sports?
BoA: It's scary but fun! If you don't try then you end up not knowing what it's like. I'm the type that likes to experience various challenges. If it doesn't go well then I can say to myself "it doesn't work!" and give up more easily.

*brief talk about Make Your Move and the concert tour. nothing we haven't heard before*
