Are you excited about weekend?

I am always excited about weekend as it means a time to relax and sleep in! Weekends are certainly the best days of the week when I am buried in school related stuff.

Seems like BoA is excited about weekends as well as her new Japanese single is named WOO WEEKEND! The PV teaser for WOO WEEKEND is finally released and it does sounds very cheerful and cute! WOO WEEKEND is also a song for 25th Anniversary of Disney on Ice in Japan.

Check out the WOO WEEKEND PV teaser below!



Covers and track list for WOO WEEKEND are already released. Personally speaking, I like the cover for CD + DVD better. She looks cute in it!

There isn't any previews for the B-Side, NO DANCE, NO LIFE so far. I am rather curious how the song would be like, considering that it has such an awesome title, it better be good!

WOO WEEKEND will be released on July 21st, 2010. BoA will be facing tough competition since July is the month which famous singers like Koda Kumi, Ayumi Hamasaki and Namie Amuro are releasing their stuff as well. Hopefully with the Disney family behind BoA's back, her single, WOO WEEKEND will sell will in Japan!

Gals Day: Popteen Natural Look

I had actually wanted to hold Gals Day with Samantha during the long vacation I had during the March to April period. However, I had finalized the idea way too late so with those annoying restrictions at home, I didn't have enough time to finish Operation Clean Up (OCU). Alas, I had no choice but to push back Gals Day to the short two week break during June. Samantha was rather understanding when I told her.

It's June now and unfortunately, HRA is going to be at home most of the time during my two week break so I'll just have to make do with performing OCU on the area where we will get started with Gals Day. It's mostly makeover and girlish stuff like that.

Hopefully I will be able to finish the stuff I want to do!

Anyway, here's the look I am thinking of doing.



It's cute isn't it? Hopefully I will look as cute when I am done! (人´∀`*)☆彡

P.S I am currently considering of getting a curly/wavy hair wig!

BoA Shanghai Expo Performance + BoA's USA Songs

As some of you know, BoA has performed at Shanghai Expo on May 30th 2010, along with Super Junior, Kang Ta, and f(x) to represent South Korea during the Korean Music Festival.

I was actually kind of hoping that BoA would be performing at least one new Korean song since her Korea comeback is rumored to be on 25th August 2010, which happens to be the 10th anniversary of her career since her debut in Korea, 10 years ago. It's amazing how time flies and how much BoA has achieved, considering that BoA is only 23 years old. o(^^o)(o^^)o Anyway, BoA didn't perform a new Korean song but performed three English songs, Eat You Up, Energetic and Look Who's Talking, from BoA's self entitled USA debut album. Both Eat You Up and Energetic are singles from her USA album. To me, it's a little weird that she performed English songs in a Korean Music Festival, but oh well, since she had already done it before when she was back in Korea... 「(゚ペ)...I aren't complaining anyway, since at least I can understand what she is singing!

Alright! Enough talking. Let's watch her performance in Shanghai Expo! All these videos are not taken by me! As they are fancams, the quality is not great but these are relatively stable and clear as compared to some other fancams. I hope that they will broadcast her performance on TV so that HD video uploads can be guaranteed!

For the sake of easy comparison of BoA's performance at Shanghai Expo, I had embedded the videos of her performance along with the official MV if there's one for enjoyment. O(≧∇≦)O

This is one of the clearer versions but the front part got cut off though. Sorry!

Next up is Energetic by BoA!

I am interested to learn how to dance this dance but I don't have a foundation in dancing. I should really stop thinking about how to run before I know how to walk.


Lastly, it's Look Who's Talking by BoA. She didn't released a single for this so there's no MV. She has performed this song for couple times so who knows, this might be the next single. Then again, the promotional team better do something big for what's the point of releasing album and singles if you don't promote it well?! People wouldn't even buy it or listen to it if they don't even know it exist! Anyway, since there isn't a MV for it, I had found a video showing BoA rehearsing the dance for Look Who's Talking. It's pretty cool too.

That's it for BoA's performance at Shanghai Expo!

However, that's not all. I am not sure why but her 2nd single, I Did It For Love feat. Sean Garrett, doesn't seem to be really popular. Hmm~ 「(゚ペ)... I think that her MV for I Did It For Love is pretty cool. It's not easy to dance either. At least it looks complicated to me. if you are wondering who on earth Sean Garrett is, well, he is an American rapper, songwriter and record producer. He seemed to more of the behind the scene guy in the music industry. You can read more about him in Wikipedia.

So here it is!

I know that all the videos of her performance are all far away so here's a a couple close up images of what she is wearing on that day below! Not taken by me. She looks fabulous don't you think? I like her style. ☆d(o⌒∇⌒o)b ★イエーイ★ d(o⌒∇⌒o)b☆





This is the end of my short video report of BoA's performance in Shanghai!

You know, I had heard that some of the kids/teens (those around 12 years old to around fifteen years old) who listen to the very auto-tuned K-Pop that's very popular right now, have no idea who BoA is. That's kind of sad since well, BoA is like the diva in the music industry in Korea! Never mind, I am anticipating her comeback which should be around during August time this year. I hope that she will surpass herself and rock the Korea music industry! Show them what she got!

That's all for today!
