boa 너무 멋지고 기특하다.
최근 에너제틱 엠브이가 나왔다. 엔터테인먼트 위클리랑 인터뷰도 하고 티비 인터뷰도 하고 크리스탈 케이랑 듀엣곡도 만들고 위저가 보아의 노래도 리메이크 하게 되었다.
EW: Hello BoA, you’ve been a hugely successful pop star in Asia for nearly a decade, but you’re living in Los Angeles now, right? How is that?
BoA: I go to restaurants, to Koreatown, to the beach to get some tan, go bowling… And I just watched the Hangover. It’s a crazy movie! I loved it. I’m doing English lessons since I’ve been here, I think I’m slowly getting better. But I don’t have car in L.A., so it’s pretty hard to go anywhere. I tried to get my driver’s license but I failed — I didn’t study well. I didn’t know that the test was so hard. Actually, I failed twice last year, but don’t tell anyone!
보아는 엘에이에 살고 있다. 행오버를 봤다고 하는데 완전 재밌나부다. 좋아죽넿ㅎㅎ 운전 면허도 두 번이나 떨어지고ㅠㅠ
EW: I wanted to talk about your transition to the United States. You’ve worked with a lot of different producers; what can we expect with the new album?
BoA: Well, I went to Atlanta last year and recorded “I Did It For Love” with Sean Garett [the man behind hits for Beyonce, Usher, Ciara, and Chris Brown] and one more song is coming out for my repackaged album released in September — it’s the same as the first album but with added new songs. I also have one with Flo Rida, he was featured in my “Eat You Up” song.
션 가렛과의 작업 이야기와 구월에 나오는 리팩키지 앨범이야기.
EW: Can we expect more writing from you? I know you had a song a long time ago you wrote, “Dear My Love,” you wrote that song.
BoA: I don’t have any talent for writing, so no.
작곡에 소질이 없다고 하네ㅡㅜ 겸손하ㅁ니다.
EW: I actually liked that song, you should write more.
BoA: Really? Maybe I can make more songs!
EW: I know that one of your songs was co-written by Britney Spears, “Look Who’s Talking.” What happened with that? Did she give it to you?
BoA: When we picked that song, we didn’t know she was the writer. When we saw the credit, we saw B. Spears we were like, who’s B. Spears…as in Britney Spears? They told me that she wrote that song, so I was like ‘Oh, okay!’ She was really cool, really nice.
브리트니 스피어스가 작곡한 룩 후즈 토킹이란 노래에 대해 얘기한다. 그 노래 나도 앨범에서 특히 인상적이었는뎋ㅎㅎ
EW: A lot of your songs you created did become semi-popular in the U.S., though you didn’t technically release it here. Like your Japanese single, “Merry Chri”— Weezer remade that song. What did you feel?
BoA: I’m so grateful. Of course I feel honored. They’re huge in America!
보아가 일본에서 크리스마스 싱글로 내서 대박 친 메리 크리를 위저가 리메이크 한다는 이야기
EW: Let’s talk about your last single, “I Did It For Love.” Have you had a lot of relationships in your life? What kind of guy are you looking for?
BoA:You know what? It’s really hard. I thought when I came to America maybe I can meet some cute guys. Japan, Korea and then come back here. But [I’m looking for]someone like…who’s that guy going out with Jennifer Aniston?
EW: Bradley Cooper?
BoA: Yeah…he’s so hot! Zac Efron too. Everyone has girlfriends, though! I’m so bad…
호호호호 보아 취향이 의외로 나랑 비슷한듯. 잭 애프론은 난 별로지만 브래들리 쿠퍼는 완전 좋아하는데에! 모두 여자친구가 있다고
EW: Do you feel like you will have success in the U.S.?
BoA: Hopefully, that’s why I’m here. If it’s not going that way, I think I got a lot of good stuff from relationships, met other producers, doing choreography with really great dancers. If it goes well, I’ll be happy, but I don’t care.
미국에서의 성공에 대해 어떻게 생각하냐는 질문에 그들과의 작업에서 오는 좋은 것들과 프로듀서, 댄서들과의 만남에 대해서 매우 좋게 생각하고 있다고 한다. 성공에 대해선 그다지 신경쓰지 않는다고
물론 이 인터뷰에서 말한대로 정말 신경을 안쓴다면 좋겠지만 어떻게 인간이 그럴수 있겠는가
그래도 좋은 사람들과 만나고 성장하는 모습을보니 내가 뿌듯하다ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ어떻게 저 조그맣고 가녀린 체구에서 그런 관절 꺾기와 사람 잡아먹을듯한 눈빛이 나오는지, 넌 역시 프로야. 널 보면 항상 의지가 불타오른다. 열심히 해. 나도 열심히 할게.
다음 앨범에서는 더 파워풀하고 아름다운 모습으로 만나길..
