The 8th Official BoA Thread

Wow that's really exciting. I hope BoA's english has improved from the last time I've heard her speak it. I hope she's improved as much (or more) than SE7EN, his english is pretty good now.

I think BoA will go for an RnB genre in America, which will give it more credibility than what Utada made. (even though Exodus was amazing) I hope the song isn't a flop. D:

I guess she's being so secretive to prevent internet leaks. If people don't know, then people wont go looking for it.

I love BoA, so I'll support her by buying her English stuff, but I still have mixed feelings about her going through with it...

I'm kind of feeling the same way. Half of me wants her to cancel the whole project and go back to spend her career in Korea. The other half of me wants her to come to the states and kick butt. She's got the odds against her, for sure, just like Rain, Seven, Kuraki Mai, and Utada Hikaru all did. Who knows, though--maybe BoA will be the one to break through.

What's more, if things do go well in the states, there's a pretty good chance that she'll leave Japan for the US, the way she left Korea for Japan. Her Japanese releases might become few and far between, and her Korean releases might become even more scarce. US = big bucks, and SM & Avex know that. They've had their foot in the American door for years, waiting for their big chance. They would milk that poor girl dry before letting her leave such a big market, if successful. I would hate for her to simply turn to re-releasing her English material in JP/KO.

On a side note, does anyone else have a bit of the: "I don't want everyone else to know who she is" bug? I know it's crazy and childish, but I kind of like being the only person for miles and miles who can recognize the sound of "Amazing Kiss" anywhere. I kind of don't want a bunch of American noobs Bogarting the BoA...
