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:
“Constant revolutionizing of production ... distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses, his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“To expect to increase prices and then to maintain them at a higher level by means of a plan which must of necessity increase production while decreasing consumption is to fly in the face of an economic law as well established as any law of nature.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“The development of civilization and industry in general has always shown itself so active in the destruction of forests that everything that has been done for their conservation and production is completely insignificant in comparison.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
