NEW SINGLE || BoA - “LOVE LETTER”

BoA - “LOVE LETTER”

http://ikimasshoi.jphip.net/wordpres...07/lovedvd.jpg

Korean starlet BoA will be releasing her 24th Japanese single on September 19. Titled LOVE LETTER, the single is said to be a medium tempo ballad. Included on the single are the B-sides Diamond Heart and Beautiful Flowers. The single is said to have six tracks which include the previously mentioned songs plus a new version of each. The single will be available in the CD-only format and a limited edition CD+DVD version which will include the PV to LOVE LETTER.

Diamond Heart has been used in the Toshiba W53T since June this year and Beautiful Flowers has been chosen as the baseball team Yokohama BayStars official theme song for this season. Many fans expected her song Smile Again, to be included on this single but it seems to be ascent. Smile Again started airing as the ending theme for the drama Toyo Wide Theatre in mid July. So far, BoA has no unreleased Japanese songs so this will be a first.

BoA debuted in Korea with the album ID;Peace B in 2000 at the tender age of 13. She crossed over to Japan in 2002 and has since released many albums and singles in both Japan and Korea. She is multi-talented as she is a great singer, dancer and knows how to speak Korean, Japanese, some Chinese and is coming along nicely with her English. Her last single in Japan was her 23rd single Sweet Impact, released in late April. It was reported that her 6th Korean album would be out in June but so far, we’ve seen nothing. It should be out within in the next couple of months but it’s already been more than two years since her last Korean album, Girls on Top, was released.

:O thanks !! for the info i love BoA

I think those extra 3 tracks are just instrumentals and not a new version for each.

mid tempo ballad.. T.T
still, i'm excited!

too bad about the Korean album..
she doesn't seem to care about her Korean fans.
which is bad, considering she debuted there..

~ Foxxy, wherever did you get such a HQ pic from Made In Twenty?!
tell me! :P

I'm bummed Diamond Heart will be a b-side. But I'm still looking forward to this single.

Thanks for the info ;) I hope "Love Letter" and "Beautiful Flowers" will be better than "Diamond Heart"; it's such a typical pop song...a little boring, hehe.

Yay! I'm excited for this single! :D

Thanks!
I hope the full single will be good.

Beautiful Flowers sounds nice, I think this should be a good single.

thanks for the info!! =))

OMG foxxy_fuyumi you scared the hell out of me! I didn't recognize the picture at first and thought it was the cover for LOVE LETTER:dead I'm so glad it's not:yes

wwooow love letter..
i can't wait to see her PV

umm she already has a song called love letter on the Don't Start Now/Jumping Into the World album....way to have an interesting title...i was hoping for another uptempo song, but ah well...i prolly wont like this song....i hate all of her ballads...

Arigatou for the info!! ^^

Hm, that's good news! =D
Is there somewhere I can listen to Smile Again?

Interesting. I usually like her ballads so I'm looking forward to this.
