YEAA still no.1!!
go her, go her .. YA!

'lady galaxy' has that one bit that sounds like 'my humps'... but the overall feel is completely different. i love that song!
but i keep thinking that 'prayer' sounds a lot like 'man eater' by nelly furtado. its a great song, but that tiny detail keeps bugging me. oh well...

who cares if BoAs had plastic surgery?? she's an amazing person & thats all that counts. well.. i guess it doesnt hurt that unnie is super dooperly beautiful..

[hanjin90]

i think MIT would sell more than Outgrow but wat the...
ahh
it's a best album
let's hope for the overall

[LaBelle]

Do u think this album gonna hit 500k???

HUGE poster-ad of BOA MIT in Korea

credits to 띠끼보아 at boaworld + imageshack

i think shes just releasing MIT (orig japanese version) in korea.
not translating and resinging all the songs in korean.

[heygingersnap]

ahhhh guys!! i haven't been in the thread lately,
but i'm still keeping up with BoA and i've been checking
oricon EVERY SINGLE DAY and so far she's still #1!!
i'm so so SO proud of her~~~
lol, kinda worried since koda kumi is still close to her,
and her album has been out for like a month now BUT OH WELL.

MADE IN TWENTY is a really good album imo!!
can wait for it to come out in korea too~

I loved the 20th Birthday band btw, everything was jazzy, and less poppy, I mean every song had a jazz remix, lol. They also ridded the dance beat to almost every dance song, eg. the BOA the live version of BNB is un-danceable, @_@ which is cool.

And Make A Secret was SO CUTE, BoA's english was so corny and cute at the same time, lmao. I wonder who wrote those parts for her, its just.. omg, cute and funny.

i liked the jazz feeling, but i didn't really like the backup singers.
they were just kinda O_________O;;
loved the make a secret engrish!! it was corny, true, but so cute. ^^

hi guys

i love the moon and sunrise live ver. but i can't seems to find. thanks in ad.

i think the jpop music industry is also suffering from poor album sales in general, due to internet downloading... and BoA's album was leaked like 4 days prier to its official relaese date
COME ON FANS PLEASE SUPPORT UR IDOLS BY BUYING THEIR ALBUMS INSTEAD OF DOWNLOADING THEM

i think 'outgrow' sold btw 450 000 to 500 000 overall

[Klonoa]

BoA's "OUTGROW" sold around 420,000 overall. It sold 220,000 in the first week. "Made In 20" will probably sell 350,000 overall.

[wateva]

merph thanks
oh dang! to me its seems like as shes getting better and better as an artist but her album sales are slowing declining..........hmmm... how dissapointing.....

i hope AVEX and SM are not gonna be too harsh on her and start making her change her current flow to someting waaaay to generic and teeny pop again....
ahhhh! BoA FIGHTING!

[sherbz]

blessed : i noticed that to.. but meh. all korean singers somewhat bite north american stars or vice versa all the time.

[Explicitj0yee]

I hope MIT will remain at #1 for a while~ :] It'd be really great to see that.
I think I'll just buy the CD version and wait for the BoA the Live DVD and MV compilation.
I'd love to get my hands on those.

I also wanted to share this video: http://boasesang.cafe24.com/zboard/zboard....049b55f101340fa

Someone made a slideshow/video of some of BoA's childhood and family photos using "Our Love~to my parents~".
I actually hadn't seen a lot of the photos, and they included the footage of BoA with her parents after her first tour (?) in Japan.
Anyway, BoA was a beautiful little girl.

Thanks for the link, it was so cute seeing so much unseen baby pics of her

[J@de]

Oh ok.. thanks (:
Thank you too Klonoa.
Looks like it won't make as good as OUTGROW.. = / but I really hope the contrary~^^

hey can you PM me the live version of moon & sunrise too?
i love it!
i listen to it on youtube all the time and it'd be cool if i could put it on my music player haha
thanks!!

[blessed]

not sell as much as OUTGROW? omg, but MIT was heaps better!!
WELL i believe in this album! the sales are just so confusing though.. why?

sherbz: yea, thats true. at least she's still making quality music though.. & its sounds bery BoA-like.

hey.. i've been listening to some of her older songs, and they all have this... 'signature BoA style' thats pretty cool.

[hyeminnie]

BoA's "OUTGROW" sold around 420,000 overall. It sold 220,000 in the first week. "Made In 20" will probably sell 350,000 overall.

wow. i'm surprised Outgrow sold that much, considering it was a compiliation of her previous singles.
MIT should sell so much more than Outgrow. maybe 400k. Avex really needs to promote MIT more.

YAAY! still on top.

PMed you ^^

[xyunaxfantasiesx]

I listened to Love & Honesty again on the bus today and either I have been listening to MIT too much or too little of BoA's old material that now I have a craving to re-listen to all the albums and every time I favor one over the other. My favorite albums are so interchangeable T_T

[SailorBoy62]

"OUTGROW ~ready butterfly~" was promoted to like an extreme though, probably accounting for why the total sales were around 450k. If, say, "Lady Galaxy" were being promoted as much as "OUTGROW ~ready butterfly~" was last year, long term sales might end up being around the same.

BoA's promotion isn't any different than it has been in the past. So promoting it even more wouldn't have changed anything. Maybe Japan is just tired of BoA. You have to remember, BoA was never that BIG in Japan from the beginning. You have the Korean media who is exaggerating her success, so not everything reported about her success is the complete truth. And what I mean by her not being that BIG, is that for a Korean cross over artist she's HUGE. For a J-Pop artist, she's just another one of those J-Pop princesses that just rise, reach a peak, then slowly go down to a recession. We need to be happy BoA has had five succesful original albums in Japan anyway besides wondering why this album isn't a a top seller. We should of seen this coming with "Made In 20". Look at how "OUTGROW" did, look at the top artist in the J-pop scene and look at the singles released off "Made In 20". But never forget, people get tired of a artist. They are tired of the Ayus, Namies, and now the BoAs. Now we're going to have to deal with the Koda Kumis, Ai Otsukas, ayakas being top sellers.

Sorry, BoA is going to start going down into a recession now. She lasted a pretty good while if you ask me. Especially for a Korean cross over artist. She has been the only Korean cross over artist in Japan to reach such high success there. I could be wrong about this though. Please correct me if I am wrong.
