Japanese entertainment company Avex said it will release a series of educational DVDs entitled “Learning Korean through Songs” featuring 25 music videos of hit K-pop songs.
The songs include TVXQ’s 2004 hit “Hug,” Ahn Jae-wook’s “Friend,” Lee Byeng-hun’s “Tears,” BoA’s “No.1″ and SG WannaBe’s “In Life.”
In August, another DVD will be released featuring more hit songs including Shinhwa’s “Deep Sorrow,” Lee Dong-gun’s “Hoping that My Wind Touches That Sky,” Fly to the Sky’s “Missing You,” Brown Eyes’ “Already a Year” and SG WannaBe’s “Crime and Punishment.”
BoA’s latest album “The Face” (6th), which hit store shelves on the 27th, took the #1 spot on Oricon’s daily album chart, on the day of it’s release.
Along with her other albums and singles, this is her 11th time hitting the #1 spot on the Oricon charts.
As much of an accomplishment as this is, it’s still boring. It’s a given, anything BoA releases in Japan will take the #1 spot, just like it’s a given that Big Bang member Seung Ri likes to take it in the ass.
As for the non-single tracks on this album, “AGGRESSIVE” has received the most hype as its electronic-dance feel instantly grabs your attention. BoA’s vocals are, just as the title states, powerful and aggressive, matching the production of the track. A great way to open up to an album with the greatest involvement from BoA herself.
