BoA - QUINCY?

[Diana]

Hm... I dont know if I can ask this here, but it`s Asian Music Chat so I think it`s ok.. My question is: Why did BoA use that title? What does it mean? I tried to search by Google and wikipedia but all results we got is Quincy from Bleach. Does anyone know?

Hahah I know for the first and I didnt believe it.. But I still dont get it.. Damn BoA, she should have used another word that everyone can understand

Hrm.. We'll have to look at the lyrics! I don't think it was BoA, because someone else usually writes lyrics for her

Lyrics Here

My interpretation was always that it was a boy named Quincy. There are males with a such name, and the lyrics are like she is singing to her lover.
