“You see, Jimmy, when Goddess goes to the bathroom, we call it ‘Blessed Rain’…”
Lying to children is fun ain’t it?
Anyway, all hail goddess alan and her mighty wave of conquering Japan like the tortise in The Tortise and the Hare, very slowly, but in the end, victory. Most likely anyway.
Anyway, the facts are these:
One alan, somewhat years, a number of hours, a parcel of minutes and some seconds too, old is releasing her seventh single on the 12th of November in the year 2008. Filming for the music video occured today according to the Goddess blog, and the song title is called “Megumi no Ame” or “Blessed Rain.”
A tracklist is not known yet, other than the title and it’s instrumental, and no covers exist either, not even a preview. It will likely contain 2-3 tracks and corresponding instrumentals, and will be the end to her godai/Bon project. The single comes in CD-only and CD+DVD formats.
Now, if I may take a moment, you’re all going to like it. All of you are going to take this song and like it.
Or alan will cry. And you don’t want to see this cutie cry do you?

I didn’t think so.
The Edit of September 30:
Cover and tracklist are out:

The b-side translates to “Namida.” Oh mighty goddess, you’ve done it again. I’d hit that.

SM Entertainment America & BoA’s US Debut
On August 29th, SM entertainment announced the launch of their American division, SM Entertainment USA. This follows YG and JYP’s aspirations of bringing Korean artists into the American market, possibly moving BoA one step closer to USA’s music industry.
One person cautiously said, “It is highly likely that there will be an official announcement as soon as discussions with BoA’s Japanese management come along. BoA will delay her comeback in Korea to prepare for her advancement to America’s market. The possibility of this being confirmed in September is high. They will announce it at least within this year and the chances for advancing towards America next year are quite high.”
On the other hand, SM entertainment has consistently kept their mouth closed. One official said, “There is nothing yet to be revealed. Challenging the world’s music industry, with her popularity established in Korea and Japan as her background, is a given basic strategy that hasn’t changed.”
