About 92.539716 percent of the time, I'm listening to Noriko-chan. With the rest of it, I split my listening time between Hikawa Kiyoshi and BoA. BoA's the only mainstream JPOP singer I listen to (with Rimi starting to sneak in there). Besides Korean and Japanese, BoA also speaks English very well... I'd listen to her over Britany any day!

It makes it really hard to search the 'net for BoA stuff... About the first 100 pages of searches come up talking about snakes!! Hehehe... I wish search engines would allow you to search based on the exact case settings.

no she didnt sing that song i have the soundtrack and idk where u get that idea.. its just a rumor cuz an artists have the same name hehe if ure familiar with boa's voice i think u could tell the difference Rolling eyes

groink: i know manz, the first time i heard about boa i started searching and MY GOD i was so scared n angry at the same time.. (im afraid of snakes) i guess its by the way u type it out with the capitalization 'BoA'

loveless: boa = fluent in english? hehe Rolly rofl thats hella funny! hehe my bad im not doggin cuz ilike boa too but its funny ^^

I heard that BoA'll be singing the new theme song for the upcoming game Kingdom Hearts 2. Wonder if this is true? I really liked 'Simple and Clean' by Utada Hikaru from the first game so I hope the second will be just as good!

I like her and listen to her songs. Boa's good, but not good enough IMO.


One thing....
She really gotta change some of her silly English titles.
Maybe send her lyric-writer an English dictionary or sth Big Grin

I liked BoA a couple of years back, I don't like BoA in 2003. Her singles that year had been rather dissappointing and Atlantis Princess...ugh Shake Head

Lets hope she can do better this year. Please no more "Rock with you" type songs.

Cheers for ruroshin Smile

I liked Boa very much when she's younger. Ever since Atlantis Princess (which made her look like a sleepless machine) She looked really bad after that. She looked like as though she hasn't slept for months, and she probably hasn't. The poor girl is tiring herself out working, I assume.

Still, though... Atlantis Princess is a good release. This was the first CD I ever bought of hers, so my first impressions of her were made with this release. I really love "Tree"... My iPod right now indicates it is one of the 10 most played songs on my unit. I also like the Korean version of "Lights of Seuol". I'm really not into dance music and stuff, so me liking this CD probably shows just that. Bleah

I like her songs. Like Flower, Gift, Tree and Shine We Are. Rock With You is good too, very catchy song, makes me want to sing too Sweat

Also Realize is very good, the part where she kinda raps, very cool.

Her english I dunno. It's good, better than Namie Amuro for example, but not when compared to Utada Hikaru (like in Simple and Clean). BoA's english sometimes I don't know what's saying.
