[translation] 140915 ZIP-FM Lachic Century Session (Nagoya radio)

BoA and Irene

Since this is an open radio, fans were there for BoA and they managed to communicate with her through the glass wall! The fans asked her questions(like "Only One dance partner she perfered, Taemin or Eunhyuk?", "Nagoya good she likes better, Tebasaki(Fried chicken wings) or Hitsumabushi(Eel&rice eaten with style)?") by writing on a sketchbook and BoA lipped the answers back. There was this one time where she was too into interaction with the fans that she failed to properly answer the radio host. ^^;

BoA's question for the radio program today is "What do you like to start doing again after a long while?". Fans sent in the answers and the radio host read it one by one but not before hearing the answer from BoA herself first.

BoA: I've been thinking hard what to reply since all I've been doing is singing and dancing. LOL Then I thought I'd like to start learning piano again. My eldest brother is a pianist but actually my 2  brothers and I started piano at the same time. The 2nd bro quit first. Few months after, I followed suit. LOL Thinking back, it's such a shame I didn't keep at it. As a kid, I didn't like sitting still focusing at one thing for a long time.



The host then read answers from listeners: soccer, tennis.

BoA: I'm not good at sports especially ball sports. I once went to a batting center(BoA had a hard time recalling what it's called) and managed to hit zero balls! From then on, I realized how amazing baseball players were.

BoA: I go to gym and do weight training. If I don't then my joints would hurt when I dance. My body is like that of an athlete where if I suddenly stop exercising, I'll get plump easily.

BoA: I feel very good when I sweat a lot during live concerts.

Talking about the new album WHO'S BACK? and the tour.

BoA: (about the 4.5 years gap) I don't feel it is that long since I've been releasing singles during that time. When I received the album, I listened to all the tracks and it made me think of what happened during each track release. It was like a timeslip for me. It's also interesting if you watch the DVD, you can see my hair progression from short to long. LOL


Talking about First Time MV.

BoA: (about song recording looks like much fun) It's usually like what you see in the MV. The first 30 mins would be chit-chatting with the producer/staff.

BoA: Living earnestly is certainly important. But as a human being, it's also important to have off-time and have fun. I try to live happily.

Irene(the radio host): Everyone is saying bare-face, bare-face outside (on the sketchbook)

BoA: Since this is an open radio, I can't come here with no makeup. LOL Actually my manager wanted me to wear at least a light makeup for the First Time MV and I said "No way!". LOL

More answer from listener: (school) club activities
BoA: I didn't even go to school so I didn't do club activities but my passion lies in watching movies and live concerts. A while ago, I went to Bruno Mars concert and went kyaa when I saw him. I thought to myself that this must have been how my fans feel when they came to my concerts. I was like "OMG he's looking this way! *gasp*" (*you guys must see her acting it out. LOL)

BoA: I want to go to more concerts but don't have the chance to. I was sad about Paul McCartney concert being cancelled a while ago too.
