BoA's Music Video to her Japanese Single "Milestone" Revealed

The "Kpop Queen" is back! Not for a full-length studio album, but for her latest Japanese single entitled Milestone. Because BoA was busy filming her upcoming Hollywood dance movie that is expected to come out early next year, it's been a while since she released a new record after her successful Korean comeback last 2010 with the album Hurricane Venus. Her title track for that best-selling album also had the same title. It was a comeback after five years of being away from her homeland, so it was, nevertheless, highly anticipated. Since that album, I have been longing to listen to something new from her. She has always been amazing, and I am a big fan. More than her powerful dance songs, I am more of a sucker for her ballads. LOL! With all honesty, most of her ballad songs occupy the top 30 most played tracks in my playlist. Some of those songs even date back to some ten years ago from her earlier albums. That's right! I've been listening to her for a long time already.
I may have probably mentioned this before in my posts that one of my favorite Kpop songs of all time is Waiting. It was a ballad (about someone leaving suddenly without a word) that was released shortly after her debut. Until now, I still love that song! And that is something that no autotune or heavily synthesized Kpop track can beat, not even in a million years. Haha! My heart has a soft spot for her ballads because of reasons that I am not even certain myself. There's just something about BoA and her ballads that is magical. Whenever she sings a song, she always sings them with the right emotion and gusto. Her passion and dedication for music and for her craft is beyond amazing! Well, what do you expect? She has been around the industry since she was 13 and she has been making a mark in every step of her way.
My brother, who is not even a Kpop or an Asian music fan whatsoever,
even likes her. He's like the biggest BoA fan, but she's probably
the only Asian singer that he knows (and likes) apart from her SM Entertainment labelmate Super Junior (which bugs
him because I spazz about them every single day). He doesn't know a
single Korean word expect, maybe, "Hello", but he can sing Waiting from
start to finish flawlessly and effortlessly like a true-blue Kpop fan. (He even beats me in the delivery and overall feel. ROFL!) I even
remember him bugging his friends to listen to the song a lot of times in the past. I
don't know if he managed to even convert them
(as BoA fans) in the long run, but if there's one thing that I am sure
of, I know that because of the initial interest that they had in BoA's songs, they still listen to Kpop and Asian music
until now.
Another favorite song of mine would have to be Stand By (Person Beside You) from her fifth Korean album that was released last year (Hurricane Venus). It was a beautiful song written by singer-songwriter Kim Dong Ryul and it is a heartbreaking story about a girl who is caught up in a one-sided love affair. It's a very painful song, if I may say, and I love how BoA sang it from start to finish. There are so many songs from her albums that I love, and I am always looking forward to listen to what she will come up next in the near future. This song, like most of her ballads, is a win right off the bat. I was actually lucky enough to listen to this song even before the music video came out, and even though it was a short radio rip from a random Japanese music station, I knew right then and there that it would be amazing.
So check out the MV and the Japanese and translated English lyrics to Milestone below!
自分のことでさえ 分からないのに
I don’t even know about myself
あなただけに全て 分かってほしいなんて
I just want to know all about you only
言えないの知ってるけど
Although I can’t say it out,I know it
白い吐息を形にできたとしたら 伝わるかな
if the white breath takes a shape, I wonder if it will convey to you
季節が移るたびに世界が
every time the season changes, the world
感覚を追い越して行く
gets ahead of the feeling
そんな想いさえも
Even such thought
瞬きの間の刹那に消えて行く
disappears in a blink
気づかずにいられれば
That would be good
それで良かった
if I existed without being noticed
立ち止まればふと冬の毳
when I stop and stand there, the fuzz of winter suddenly comes
季節が移るたびに世界が
every time the season changes, the world
感覚を追い越して行く
gets ahead of the feeling
そんな想いさえ消えないように
I wish only such thought wouldn't vanish
体に 心に刻んで行く
etched in my body and heart
now hang on to this world
すごく早いから
As the time is still young
涙も笑顔も忘れないように・・・
I wish I won’t forget both the tears and smiles
季節が移るたびに世界が
even if every time the season changes, the world
感覚を追い越してどうしても
gets ahead of the feeling
揺るぎのない胸の my heart
My heart will never be shaken
そのたび 私が刻むから
Because I keep a record every time

Last week, SM Entertainment released a ballad called "Person Next To Me/Person Beside Me (Stand By)" from KPop Queen BoA's highly anticipated 6th Korean album "Venus Hurricane" before it's full release on the 5th of August. Currently, I heard that the album can be pre-ordered in http://yesasia.com. In my previous posts, I have featured the music video of another track from the aforementioned album "Game", which showed KPop fans and music lovers all over the world, a new image and a new side of her, that is completely different from the little girl that she used to be. Debuting at an early age of 13 at 2000, she has gone a long way to go. This year marks her 10th year in the KPop scene, and she's back with all splendor and glory. She will finally return next week on stage in various music programs from Friday to Sunday so I'm sure a lot of people are looking forward for that.
At the moment, I have been listening to this song from her latest album, and I am actually loving it. The song has quite sentimental lyrics; nevertheless, it's good. I'm sure that if you love ballads, you won't be disappointed in this one. It's a really sad song as it talks about the very heartbreaking kind of love that most people can relate to: one sided love. Loving some who's eyes are completely fixated to another person could really hurt a lot right? But what may hurt the most in the process could be the fact that despite everything (like making a fool out of yourself...relentlessly hoping and wishing), there will never come a time for that person to see you in the same way that you do.
If you like this song, I highly recommend that you watch this video too. It's also from BoA (from her 2nd Korean album that was released in 2001/2002...that I'm not so sure) and it's called "Waiting". It's one of my younger brother and I's favorite KPop ballad of all time. The song in itself is really good. BoA's vocals is amazing as always. And the lyrics, although it's melodramatic, is really heartbreaking. I'm sure everyone who has been literally hurt (in love) will love it.
Not a lot of people know (or would even understand), but I am also a victim of drama obsession. I've been camping in dramalandia since I was 13 years old, and that's where you will most likely find me when I have nothing to do.
One of the symptoms of this disease is daydreaming about dramas everywhere whether you are at work, walking down the stairs, sleeping, even as you are walking...creepy isn't it? Hahaha!
I am also a big Asian music fan and I think Asian music rocks! I go back and forth from Cpop to Kpop and Jpop, so I may be different (and strange) compared to other people that you can find around. I am an elder sister , a dreamer , a believer , a gamer , wanderer , blogger , an optimist , an ultimate foodie and a, hands down, fangirl . I love reading books , writing , music , photography and traveling.
I am a nurse by profession who is also a copy editor and a freelance writer . I enjoy learning how to play musical instruments and learning various languages . I am crazy, loud, spontaneous, free-spirited and most of the time, a klutz.
Eren Asentista a.k.a. Eray, 23, female, from Dumaguete City, Philippines. My personality...it's complicated. :D Believe me, you wouldn't want to know who I am. Hahaha! XD
I am currently watching...
In the coming days, I plan to watch...
In Asian Entertainment, I fancy...
(This is still lacking, but this is more or less it. LOL! I will most likely be updating this in the future to accommodate my growing list of biases but check em out!)
The things that I want to do before I die are the following:
An Asian cruise. Templestay in Korea. An African safari adventure. Backpacking to Europe. Traveling through the European railways.
