The Face (album)

Production

The production of The Face started with her "Sweet Impact" single, released in mid-2007. Three months after the release of her 5th studio album, "Made in Twenty (20). "Sweet Impact" was first featured in a Fasico CM in January 2007. "Sweet Impact" also features a b-side "Bad Drive" and it sold 42,789 in Japan and 5,000 in South Korea.

Approximately five months later, she released another single, entitled "Love Letter". It became her second single to be featured on her sixth studio album. "Love Letter" contains two B-sides: "Diamond Heart" and "Beautiful Flowers." At first "Beautiful Flowers" was chosen by the Yokohama BayStars, (a baseball team in Japan's Central League) as the team's official theme song during their 2007 season. "Diamond Heart" was used to promote Toshiba's W53T, featuring BoA herself.

Three months after the release of "Love Letter", BoA once again released another single entitled: "Lose Your Mind", which was released on 12 December 2007. It is currently charting on Oricon's Weekly Chart, and hit its peak position at #6 and sold total of 22,961 copies as of 26 December 2007.

Shortly after "Lose Your Mind", BoA announced another single, "Be with You.", which will be released along with her sixth Japanese studio album. But due to competition on 20 February 2008 with other major artists, the album was pushed backwards a week to 27 February 2008 to avoid conflicts.

Lose Your Mind

The PV for "Lose Your Mind" features BoA as a supermodel on the catwalk. She and two other female backup dancers start dancing on the catwalk and are joined by three male dancers. The music video also shows BoA in a short black wig. Yutaka Furukawa from the Doping panda also makes an appearance in the music video playing the electric guitar.
