[BoA] Welcome. You are invited to walk in her dreams in the 25th thread

[Polyrhythm]

US version? I hope. I still havent had the time to go to K-town to find the album. It could be a mistake though....I vaguely remember YesAsia putting up an US version of Perfume's album before.

[ILoveGeniuses]

^It's possible. However whats surprising is that Amazon.com (the USA site) has it listed as well. I guess we'll see what happens. I've already bought my copies though, so I doubt I'd buy a US Release if we do get one.

IDENTITY Tour DVD at #2 on Oricon

This is the highest DVD release placing for BoA since her debut in Japan. It's from previous day but I don't think it dropped too much.

^thanks a lot

[love in music]

^^ Why did you post the SF Pride 2009 HD fancams? They've been out for over a year now.
Love the making of with her and the sparklers~

[ILoveGeniuses]

Thanks for the pics of the DVD. I've ordered it. Waiting for mine to come in. And those sales are pretty damn good. I'm quite surprised.

Also, i didn't know everyone kept chanting "One more song" at the end of the SF Pride thing. Too bad she couldn't have had that affect on everyone in America last year. Well I just hope she does well with this Hollywood movie they're making. Let's see if it helps BoA in US at all. However, I doubt it much as Ninja Assassin stared Rain and still SO many don't know him at all here. Still, I hope BoA's hollywood movie does well with American audiences.

So I know nothing about Kpop, but sales are typically lower than music sales in Japan, right? I read online that Hurricane Venus sold 44K+ in its first 10 days, so is that good for a Kpop album released nowadays?

it's good for most people. but for her it's terrible... especially for such a highly anticipated comeback

^ GaIn? Sorry, it's BoA

woah, with that make up, she really looks like JoKwon's onscreenwife, GaIn. Pretty though.

sorry your in denial lmao. compare her album sales from the past to her sales now... even with the declining CD sales it's clear that the CD didn't sell as much as expected. or even compare it to the sales of everyone else this year... it's not much for the supposed "queen" of kpop's comeback after 5 years

Let me see... It's been 5 years. I don't know exactly why people expect comebacks to have high sales, because the fact is that she's been gone for 5 years and someone's popularity doesn't raise or stay level if they don't do anything. You can hardly consider her the queen of K-Pop anymore.

Also, 45k might not be much BUT IT'S STILL ENOUGH TO GET HER IN THE TOP 10, meaning that other artists are doing even worse. In that aspect, she's doing just as was expected.

Anyone expecting more was being unrealistic, actually : /

[noisy_harmony]

^ Sorry, but it's 2010, not 2005. boybands & girlbands >>>>>>>>>> solo artists. no matter who is popular/who is supposed to be popular. And don't compare 2 weeks sales to 2-4 months sales.


She won today, congrats bb! Performance was flawless as usual. And igaf what everyone else thinks, I loved her outfit.

I love her t-shirt!

[ILoveGeniuses]

^I love her shirt. And i was gonna say the same about the girl groups and boy bands... Still, I don't listen to like almost any of them myself. But I suppose I've gotten into just listening to whatever I like and ignoring the actual industry in both Japan and Korea these days.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

[Queen Bee]

^I'm not sure I want a new photo shoot for HURRICANE VENUS though. The one is already pretty epic to begin with in my opinion.

[noisy_harmony]

^ there is always new shoot for repackage Maybe I shouldn't have quoted that sentence.

[amorphose]

I hope the new shoot is as good as the first one and the new tracks as good as the original. This album doesn't even need a repackage, in my opinion. It's already perfect.

Are Korean fans stupid or something? xD Why they always buy the first album when like everyone does repackages? If I lived there, I'd always wait for the repackage.
