「東方神起」差點成「五臟六腑」 出道前爆笑團名夠經典

韓國超人氣偶像天團「東方神起」差點叫做「五臟六腑」！？東方神起最近推出第二張日文專輯「神舞奇技」，發行首週就衝上公信榜TOP10，而忙碌的五人日前接受了Mnet電視台專訪，爆料團名由來，團長允浩笑說：「當初連五臟六腑都出來了勒」！
團長允浩表示當時要大家各想一個團名，結果共有「食傳鯨」、「五臟六腑」和「東方不敗」入圍候選名單，後來因為食傳鯨太難唸、五臟六腑太幼稚且好笑，所以最後決定用東方不敗，後來才改成東方神起，允浩還有點後悔為什麼沒繼續用東方不敗，因為唸起來實在是很響亮。
東方神起的第二張日文專輯「神舞奇技」，首週就登上公信榜TOP10，顯示他們真的頗受櫻花妹的喜愛，CD+DVD的DVD收錄單曲音樂錄影帶以及幕後花絮和粉絲們最愛的團員特別對談，台灣艾迴音樂已經發行.

Interviews on BoA from Oricon

BoA's new single, Sweet Impact, which was just released yesterday in Japan, debuted at #5 on the Oricon charts. It is admittedly not exactly an impressive result. But it is still a decent debut, considering the tough competition it had to face with the likes of KinKi Kids and Orange Range.
With the release of the single, Oricon has published a new interview with BoA, in which she talks about the change in her music style and the Michael Jackson-esque choreography.

Oricon: Sweet Impact seems to be about the reawakening of a girl in love. It suits spring perfectly.
BoA: I thought a love song would be a good choice for spring. Though the song was very demanding vocally, I tried to sing it in an uplifting way.
O: When you listen to it closely, you could feel that the girl, who at first tries to appear strong to her lover, eventually softens up.
B: People change the way they are when in love, and in that process lovers create a world of their own. I tried to tell a story of a girl who is passionately in love. I think especially women are susceptible to changes when they're in love.
O: The choreography to Sweet Impact seems very powerful. You haven't done this for a while. B: After my last single Winter Love, which was a ballad, and singing-oriented BoA THE LIVE tour, I wanted to dance. When we finished shooting the music video for Sweet Impact, the staffs told me they couldn't believe that a person could dance like that.
O: The music video reminded me of Michael Jackson.
B: I like Michael Jackson very much, and it is true that I was mindful of him while preparing for the single. I'm a little worried about the choreography because it requires meticulous attention to details. I haven't done such a powerful choreography in a while. I couldn't even move my neck the day after I shot the music video.
O: Bad Drive, another song in the new single, sounds very refreshing, something that we haven't heard before.
B: I wanted to try an American style of music. The lyrics also contain some cynical humor, and it sounds very powerful and dynamic. It might put you off at first, but it'll grow on you. I like to listen to this song while driving.
