Boa's New Haircut + New Japanese Single Previews

[meijikim.livejournal.com]

BoA fans may have noticed the pint-sized singer rocking a shorter hairstyle on the cover of her latest Japanese single “Bump Bump!” Well, if you were wondering if the chop was real or not rest assured, it is!

The singer showed up at the Tokyo Game Show 2009, sporting a shorter ‘do, confirming that she had indeed cut her trademark long locks in favor of a shorter style. BoA has had shorter styles for MVs the past (remember “Eien“), but she has never really cut her hair to achieve the look.
According to the singer, the shorter style was her idea. She had it cut because she wanted a change.

In other BoA news, the singer recently appeared at the Tokyo Game Show 2009 to perform her next Japanese single “White Wishes“. Why? Well, because it has been chosen as the theme song for Wii game “Tales of Graces“.

BoA's 28th Japanese single Bump Bump! will be released on October 28th.

She looks amazing with the short hair.

And yes. These songs are better than her US releases.

I love her SFM! ♥
And SM, I love your artists but I hate you ;_; I mean why couldn't you get BoA a decent promotion while in the States? A few TV shows and Radio Spins would have been enough >:

[jyurian21.livejournal.com]

I guess it's also because SM USA was considered an indie label but still D:

I LOVE THE HAIR! I'm loving how kpop stars are embracing the bob.
And seriously these songs are so much better than her English album. What a letdown.

Hey that was pretty much my exact last hair cut.

It has grown out of a bit though =(

[psychedelicred.livejournal.com]

[vessaharja.livejournal.com]

Duuuude, that's hot!

[ficcy.livejournal.com]

Damn, girl looks stunning. :D

[emilycullenx.livejournal.com]

i adore this new look~
and i like the songs<3

[faithgrowsold.livejournal.com]

the first set make me look older ): like a 30-year-old or something. but she is rocking it on the cover. :)

[diamondbox.livejournal.com]

surprisingly, IZM has my attention the most because like White Wishes it sounds like her old stuff. bump bump's lipgloss jus isn't poppin.

but i do think ima love IZM.

[hp-groupie.livejournal.com]

Yay short haircuts! I think she looks awesome.

[iman-tan.livejournal.com]

Saving the pics for future haircut purposes. XD

[kiwi-nya.livejournal.com]

Songs semm to be very nice <3 <3 <3
She looks good!!!!


Thanks for sharing!

[marochi-x.livejournal.com]

Makes her look a little older but she still looks great. ♥

[seidy.livejournal.com]

The new haircut looks so good! She is now a young woman (not just a girl anymore) so I think it really does suit both her age and character.

i love her new haircut ♥__♥

[aunts.livejournal.com]

Ah, it's not the first time BoA's cut her hair like this; for her Sweet Impact promos back in April '07, she hacked it all off for the first time. And seriously, she always looks like an adorbale little talented pixie. That's been in the industry for nearly a decade. Oh BoA. I really love her. SFM. ♥

[boojaena.livejournal.com]

Am I the only one who thinks this haircut doesnt suit her at all?
It makes her look somehow matured.

Am not digging it till I see more :D

[brailleun.livejournal.com]

For some reason the haircut reminds me of Koda Kumi and Japanese women in their 30's. But it looks good on her and she rocks it on the cd cover.

Makes me wanna cut my hair short again, though I have been growing this for an year so not stopping now :D.
