Review
|
VERBAL (m-flo rapper) did rapping
for BoA when she was recording 3rd album 'LOVE & HONESTY' in
Japan. They worked 'SOME DAY, ONE DAY' together and in return, BoA
became a guest singer for m-flo. m-flo releases their single feat.
J-pop singers, using 'm-flo loves' as project group name so it makes
m-flo loves BoA.
Maxi CD includes
one remix and one cover version. 3rd track 'the Love Bug -Covered
by BAGDAD CAFE THE trench town- is cover version sung by different
singer therefore no m-flo voice
or no BoA here. Check BAGDAD
CAFE THE trench town official site.
'the Love Bug' Limited 12" includes exclusive Instrumental.
This 12" price is OPEN PRICE. Master of shop can decide his
wish price.
The 1st press limited edition MAXI CD comes with
special m-flo sticker and 1st press of Korea license CD comes with
different color sleeve.
There are several types of promotion CD of 'the
Love Bug.
CD includes one track 'the Love Bug',
CD includes
3tracks (Same as official Maxi CD),
Special Edition CD includes
2track. 1. Official Coments 3'26", and 'the Love Bug' with special
intro. There are at least 8 different special edition promo CDs. bay fm, fm osaka, AIR-G',
CROSS FM, Date fm, NACK5, NORTH WAVE, TOKYO FM.... Each track includes BoA shouting
& VERBAL rap. BoA shouts FM program name. m-flo and BoA
talks about 'the Love Bug' in Official Coments. Check
here for more details.
PV is so unique &
funny. CG makes it brighter and happier. BoA has made total 4 collaboration
songs with hip hop musician including the m-flo. (+ DABO, PALM DRIVE,
SOUL'd OUT). m-flo & BoA sang this song only once, the final
stage (Yokohama) of BoA - LOVE & HONESTY tour.
PS
: VERBAL, Member of m-flo is korean resident in japan but he
speaks japanese, english not korean. VERBAL put one korean word
in the lyrics of 'the Love Bug'. It is 'Saranghae' which means love.
He will get married with korean girl soon.
