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:
“It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“Perestroika basically is creating material incentives for the individual. Some of the comrades deny that, but I can’t see it any other way. In that sense human nature kinda goes backwards. It’s a step backwards. You have to realize the people weren’t quite ready for a socialist production system.”
—Gus Hall (b. 1910)
“... if the production of any commodity necessitates the sacrifice of human life, society should do without that commodity, but it can not do without that life.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
