Damn! Her Everlasting was REALLY good! I can't wait for her newest single to be released.

And yeah BoA is my first attempt to love eastern music like Japan n Korea, and she's also the 1st artist I adore.

yslimed - December 30, 2005 01:50 PM (GMT)

she's the one :wub:

Ty_Sylicus - December 31, 2005 07:48 AM (GMT)
Same with me Aditz and Slimes!!!! :o :wub: ^_^

I was actually IN Korea when I picked up here My Name alb! B)

BoA was one of the first asian singers i heard, so i have to thank her for that i discovered alot of great music

I think that she is a very good & talented artist, and i like most of her albums, even if i like the older ones the most. I really don´t think that her songs " Make a Secret" & " Dakishimeru", but i think that her latest " Everlasting" was better then those.

Hopefully, she continues to produce great music :D

I just wanted to share this thread from a friend of mine on BN-

Quoted: azndragoon-Old Knight of BoA:
"A BoA-tiful Year~"


QUOTE ("azndragoon")
Wow, a blink of an eye… and we’re 5 years down the road. Could this be possible? Is this a dream world that we live in? No… this is as real as the nose on your face. 2005 came and it will go as it does tonight, but the events shall never be forgotten.

The wind was blowing ever so calmly at the beginning of the year. It was a comfortable breeze for everyone, including BoA. Many had anticipated BoA’s 4th Japanese album, but instead, Avex Trax chose to reflect on BoA’s past success, and create one of the best compilation albums ever. This turned out to be an outstanding accomplishment, as “Best of Soul” was the first album in 2005 that sold over 1 million copies, and also making BoA the 1st non-Japanese artist to achieve this with two different albums!

As April drew nearer, the electricity in the air transformed into sparks. 8 live tours were planned in Japan (due to high request), each sold out, totaling over 60 000 in ticket sales. Unfortunately, the satisfaction of watching BoA live in her 3rd concert with an evidently new style was sabotaged by an unexpected injury to her right leg during a performance at her first stop of the Best of Soul Arena tours. (April 2nd, 2005, Fukuoka Convention Centre) Luckily, this was only a minor muscle strain, and BoA finished her tours, leaving no scent of yielding a path of a passionate artist.

· 5 Year Anniversary from Debut (August 25th, 2005)
· Best Female Artist (Mnet Music Video Festival)
· Artist of the Year (Japan)
· Became Japanese Model for GAP.
· Became ambassador for Health Public Relations in Korea
· Participation in Korea-Japan Friendship Concerts
· Released 3 singles + 1 Special Winter Single (Merry Christmas from BoA)
· Best Hallryu (Korean Wave) Star Award (2nd straight year!)
· Modelling for Maybelline, Kose Fasio, Seiko, Wired etc.
· No. 1 in HIT FM Asia Music Chart

Those were only a few accomplishments from BoA this year. 2006 will be so much more, as BoA brings more to her fans each and every year. Let's hope that she has as much success as she did in 2005!

If you missed her debut in Japan, you will see her debut in China in 2006!

And let's hope that she encounters less injuries of course :(


Let's celebrate with BoA's last performance of 2005, NHK Kohaku Utagassen! (her 4th appearance in a row, a record!)

You can watch that performance here! => Download!

Ty's Post:


When I reflect upon all the great things BoA has accomplished over this past year, as well as ev'thing from the years before, I begin to tear...Only these worlds can escape my breathless body: "...Sim..ply...Amazing...."

BoA is more than just a women, she is more than just a Korean girl who grew up into this most talented AZN-Pop Star... No, she is an example for us all. She set forth w/ hope to reach out for her most loftly and impossible of dreams...She reached high and even jumped for those stars high in the night's sky...

BoA, my love for you goes beyond the songs I hear you sing. My love goes beyond you brillant preformances. My love goes beyond being just a fan. You have given me a new life, a life with more happiness than before. Thank you... :hug: :cry:


I willl post my Original BoA story later. ;)

Good times...BoA was the first foreign artist I listened to...From there it just kinda ballooned out to the point where I'm going to have to cut into my DVD-R's to free up some HDD space...and I'm running almost a TB...

If anyone does need BoA's songs, I've got a bunch (by a bunch, I mean all of them), or you can find them at a number of other sites...Torrent or otherwise...heh

Ty_Sylicus - January 9, 2006 04:03 PM (GMT)
:lol: Yeah ev'one already has them! :D

Everlasting is coming out soon! :o I will make another big order w/ YA towards the month's end.

this makes me sad...they left Before You Said Goodbye To Me out of the new album :(

*Shine! - January 14, 2006 05:30 PM (GMT)
Yea and that song is really good too

AditZ - January 14, 2006 06:36 PM (GMT)
I have heard of Soundscape preview from her upcoming Everlasting single. I like it the most among all her new songs.

I know...I wasn't that big a fan of Dakishimeru when it came out, but I loved Before You Said Goodbye To Me...The title track has grown on me, but I'm still kinda dumbstruck as to why they left the b-side out...

Then again, futile as it may seem, I was kinda hoping to see Konoyo no Shiroshi make the cut as well...but I suppose I should be content with it on B.o.S.

Ty_Sylicus - January 15, 2006 07:13 PM (GMT)
Before You Said Goodbye To Me - I haven't heard this yet. Still waiting on my YA shipment to get here! <_< It'll be around the end of this month! *DIES*

Dakishimeru is a solid enough song. I know it's very shocking to many fans how much BoA has changed, but I was EXPECTING this all along! :o I knew BoA would change drastically once she become older, it's just natural I guess.

The Everlasting MV is rather good. The song seems lovely even though it is sad. :(

I'm glad Kimi no Tanari de made it! ^_^

I just noticed that we have NOT posted the tracklisting here! :o

AditZ - January 16, 2006 08:48 AM (GMT)
I'm gonna buy the overseas version of this album. Hope it wouldn't be exepensive.

*Shine! - January 16, 2006 04:45 PM (GMT)
^ Should be about 20 USDs

viper92583 - January 21, 2006 11:14 PM (GMT)
Ty: I can't say I wasn't expecting her to shock fans with dakishimeru...And I wasn't even referring to the video...The song just didn't strike me as that great at first...It took some time to grow on me...I guess the vocals at the beginning threw me off...but once I listened to it a few times, I began to like it more...jus took a lil bit of getting used to

I'm really glad she decided to shrug off the little girl image...it's cute and all, but it can't last forever...she has to grow up...it might've been a bit sudden, but definitely was a good thing...

then again, i was expecting everlasting to come out when dakishimeru did...cause rumors were floating about of a new ballad for christmas...*shrugs*

Dakishimeru was a hit with me from the start! I loved the upbeat jazzy beat! As for BoA's vocals, they we kinda so-so, and the whole song is kinda...cheesy. The MV wasn't great either. :( What The Crap Avex? <_<

It seems none of the Japanese Singles have been huge hits lately. Do The Motion was a great song on it's own, and both b-sides (yes, TWO b-sides!), were good as well! With U was a nice song, but Kimi no Tonari De was wonderful! :wub: (IMO)

make a secret was a little of a let down. I enjoyed the song, but it wasn't someting truely great. The b-side, LONG TIME NO SEE, was average at best. :huh: The MV for make a secret was very well done though! :D(IMO)

Dakishimeru was another average song, and Single. The b-side, Before You Said Goodbye To Me, I actually liked MORE than Dakishimeru! :)

Everlasting was the latest Single, and I cannot say it's bad at ALL! The song, the MV, and the b-sides (soundscape, People say...) were al very good! (IMO) This Single marked the 1st to be released in both Japan and Korea for MANY years, and even included a Classical version of Everlasting! How nice! ^_^


Yes, I agree about her cute "Jumping BoA" image. It was wonderful for the longest time but, she's a woman now, it's time to blossum into a beautiful flower! I think BoA did well enough in the rough transition from girl to women! It was a little shocking, but us real fans were easy to adapt! :wub: Who can deny BoA's beauty?
====================================================

OUTGROW? I don't have the new alb myself, but it's doing GREAT in Japan! Topping Orican charts and even debuting at #2 on the World Chart!

OUTDROW is currently #3 on the Oricon! B)


World Chart

I'm agree w/ u Ty:

suisai - March 14, 2006 05:22 AM (GMT)
i love boA! she's my favorite k-j pop singer! she rocks! i've known her before she debuted in korea...so that's long...ehehe...she's awesome! i love her GOT album. =D anyone heard her new single?? i haven't yet...haven't got time to listen to the previews.

by the way, thanks for the information on her. i didn't know that she has a nickname...i always call her BoA.

HND - March 14, 2006 09:32 PM (GMT)
Everyone knows shes one of the BEST

Next to DOI (Do as Infinaty) and Hikki, and YUI (althoughIve never experianced this music, but hopefully my friend will send me one)

Kiseki is great, but I quite like Moto

viper92583 - March 15, 2006 01:01 AM (GMT)
Ty...big agreement on most of what you said...

A lot of her singles lately have been really good but I still like some of the older songs so much more...

Dakishimeru had a great beat, and it grew on me quickly enough...I just had to get used to the vocals...Now then...

Before You Said Goodbye To Me is probably one of the BEST songs I have heard from her, and they didn't put it in the album??? This one made me scratch my head...

Okay...skipping my rant on BYSGTM...Ty, your opinion of the singles is pretty much exactly the same as mine, aside from Dakishimeru...

Kinda looking forward to her next single, because I'm kind of wondering what direction she's going to take...We know now that she's willing to turn a few heads and surprise some people...I just hope she doesn't overcompensate on this transition...Drastic changes are good, as long as they are controlled...

And Outgrow is pretty good...It's not the best I've ever heard, but it definitely gets an above average rating from me...

suisai - March 16, 2006 12:49 AM (GMT)
i love moto! ehehe....i also danced to the song on stage too. >.< it was fun!

have you guys heard her new single?? i haven't listen to the previews yet

General O'Neill - March 17, 2006 09:22 PM (GMT)
Which, 'Brand New Beat/Your Color'?
