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.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“The growing of food and the growing of children are both vital to the family’s survival.... Who would dare make the judgment that holding your youngest baby on your lap is less important than weeding a few more yards in the maize field? Yet this is the judgment our society makes constantly. Production of autos, canned soup, advertising copy is important. Housework—cleaning, feeding, and caring—is unimportant.”
—Debbie Taylor (20th century)
“By bourgeoisie is meant the class of modern capitalists, owners of the means of social production and employers of wage labor. By proletariat, the class of modern wage laborers who, having no means of production of their own, are reduced to selling their labor power in order to live.”
—Friedrich Engels (1820–1895)
“The society based on production is only productive, not creative.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
