survival report: ☆Kim Boa☆ is alive!

[rightclick5ave.livejournal.com]

(this is a behind-the-scenes interview for Kim Hyung Joong's song that she featured in. MV post here)

she says that Spica's currently receiving and recording songs and are preparing for a comeback, but I know better than to trust B2M lol. still, it's so reassuring to hear her talk about Spica because fans have been worried about her possibly leaving (N E V E R !).

+++ translated excerpt of a Sweetune interview in which they praise Kim Boa as the saviour of kpop
(my fandom circle has been calling her the Jesus of Kpop for a long time, but I didn't think Sweetune would actually confirm it. thx Sweetune!)

Q. What is the reason behind choosing SPICA's Kim Boa as the featuring singer of "Zero"? The featuring portion feels unique, and it sounds like background chorus vocals.

Kim Seung Soo: The guide of this song was made as a female foreigner's voice, and it matches with Kim Boa. Although it sounds like chorus vocals, we don't think that it only serves as chorus vocals.

Q. Sweetune always works with Kim Boa. There are many comments on the internet saying that Kim Boa is Sweetune's optimal voice.

Kim Seung Soo: Not only in our songs, but Kim Boa is also the optimal voice of Korea's female idol voices. She has sung guide tracks for many girl groups such as T-ARA, 4minute, KARA etc. There have been instances where if we say Kim Boa sang the guide track, production companies will rush to grab the song.

Han Jae Ho: To add on to this, kpop was brought up by Kim Boa. Because of Kim Boa, music started to have flavour.

They are such a great vocal group, definitely one of the best if not the best. It really is a shame that they haven't released much. And they just seem to not promote much... Masked Singer and shows like that were meant for them.

[rightclick5ave.livejournal.com]

I'm still holding out hope that one of them will be invited to Masked Singer.. the PD even mentioned Boa as one of the idol singers he finds talented, so why hasn't she been on it yet?? :(

[aleksu7.livejournal.com]

I want Bbo there. If Boa goes everyone will know who is it, haha.

[rightclick5ave.livejournal.com]

if even Ailee could go on the show....none of Spica need to be worried that their identities will be exposed lol

[aleksu7.livejournal.com]

I mean sure, but idk she has a unique voice is very distinctive. Narae could be a good choice too, she is super underrated and her voice is awesome.

[rightclick5ave.livejournal.com]

Narae on Masked Singer would be my dream come true ;-; her voice is my absolute ultimate favourite, it's so versatile

[aleksu7.livejournal.com]

For real tho. She can do low, more high tones... She is so underrated it kinda hurts. People always talk about Boa or Bbo but Narae is an awesome singer and look at her,damn she is gorgeous, haha. (She is my fav actually, tho I like Bbo voice a lot too)

Do you guys know if there are any of those guides floating around? I'd love to listen to her versions.

you can hear her in the choruses of a lot of Sweetune songs.. particularly obvious in 9m's Wild, Gun, A Few Good Man, Figaro... Kara's Mister (the lalala is all her lol) and so many more. here's a non-exhaustive list of songs she's contributed vocals to: http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/rightclick5ave/27235625/152376/152376_original.jpg

I really want a comeback, but not on summer. With all girl group having a comeback at the same time... Maybe on september. Them and BEG could have a comeback on September and everything will be awesome.
