[BoA] WHO'S BACK in the 30th thread ヽ(*ﾟｰﾟ*)ﾉ

[DDRmaster]

I'm sure this will be her lowest selling album in Japan. Since CD sales are lower than before and avex didn't promote BoA properly and Considering MASAYUME CHASING sold 6k only. FAIRY TAIL didn't help at almost anything.

Also, this is only a single compilation 2010-2014.

How many times she will got a comeback in Japan. Only One (JP ver.) was that japanese comeback and sold kinda decent only because it received a massive promotion (but her other recent singles didn't).

WHO'S BACK will got only a brand new song a that's dissapointing. Almost no new material.
She will perform live perfomances (concert) at 2014.9.6. That would increase sales.

I'm not sure If she doesn't care about sales or recent music trends on Japan anymore and she does everything for only passion, love, art.

I love BoA's music. It's kinda underrated nowadays. I consider her as the KPop Queen.

I'm pretty sure she will make a big Korean comeback after WHO'S BACK period ends.

I totally agree. I am a fan of BoA, but I am not interested in this album at all. It is just a compilation of singles from previous years :-/

[Maemi]

I'm just speechless... I mean, the tracklist and those plain covers are just... I can't even describe them xD

[adantatu2]

Even if this is a compilation, is a good compilation XD.
Seriously, I'm the only one who is OK with this ?

[freedreamer]

I love the song!! And the PV too!! Natural BoA, she's so cute
It's been a while since I've seen BoA like this hahaha. Though Only One was close to it..
Somehow while watching the PV, i just felt that...BoA has really came a long way and it was quite refreshing to watch this PV when compparing it to her dance/ballad PVs

[Zeke.]

FUN is great. I had thought it could not match my love for MASAYUME CHASING, but I was having a blast listening to it in the car today. Thanks BoA for delivering not ONE, but TWO AMAZING summer songs for 2014! You made up for Ayu and Kuu's lack of them!

[DeepRiver]

Love the Song & the PV ... Can't wait to see & hear the the Full Versions ...

No you are not
I love every single song on this album and I think it is great that she combined them in one album.
I can't wait to get the album

The only thing I do not like are the covers.

Nope, I also love almost every track on this album. First Time sounds exciting too! This album is great musically.

But I totally understand the people who are disappointed with this release, it's lacking in every other aspect. Especially the covers... maybe some skilled fans will bless us with great alternative ones!

[NintendoHTF1242]

WHO'S BACK? Definitely not BoA. Three years since an album and she bestows the world with a singles compilation + one new song. Or wait I mean a new album. avex shade is so strong.

[TITANIC]

MASAYUME CHASING won my heart back to JPOP. I lost interest in Jpop overall but after I heard this song randomly I love it instantly. simply become my road trip theme and gym track.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I dislike the covers a bit less after seeing the First Time video lol.

I'm still excited for the album because I actually haven't heard most of the b-sides--so for me it's a bit more than just 1 new song (cuz they're still new to me).

[KLJames]

conclusion:

this will be a GOOD album
IF you didn't bought those 7 singles in past; OR

this will be a BAD album
IF you are a loyal fans who bought those 7 singles in past,
and now you have to pay for those songs again,
just for one new song only

The short version of the "First Time" PV was so enjoyable to watch, I've loved every minute of it! BoA is just too cute & I totally loved all the scenes of her shooting the album covers. Everything about BoA's look was so amazing, from her hairstyle to her outfit. She looked absolutely gorgeous! The song itself sounds lovely so far, too! I'm looking forward to hearing the full version.

[AyuGAME]

like the song...
and the pv is documentary type but so much fun...

[emi♡]

I do like the concept for the covers more after seeing the pv...but the editing is still disgusting.

I'm not really one for the docu types of PVs either...I feel like that's allllll I see coming from Korean artists these days.

Like idk how much I can watch them walking around or eating anymore. The song was fun tho.

[ILoveGeniuses]

I like the covers. Bit disappointed with the tracklist, but whatever. I didn't DL and play the singles to death... well except for maybe Tail of Hope (English) and I spent 2 days listening to Masayume Chasing. Over all, I'm somewhat happy with the tracklist. The new song I really really like. I think it sounds wonderful, but I hate the documentary type of MVs. That's what behind-the-scenes making-of clips are for. And then some songs like I SEE ME & Milestone are pretty, but I never even remember their existence til they start playing randomly when my iTunes is on shuffle. I've deleted any of the songs that will be on the album from my iTunes library now for when the album releases. As for covers, I've noticed over the years that Japan loves a lot of very simplistic and cutesy things, so maybe they won't think it's horrible. And just saying, but one of people's favorite Ayu albums is "(miss)understood" and the covers to those were horrendous. But with BoA, I'm finding people in general are more hooked on her KPOP these days regardless of which language she sings and/or promotes in.

Btw, CDJAPAN says you get a free poster when you preorder the album as one of those limited bonuses. And you get a different poster based on which edition you order. Are there any photos out yet of what these posters will look like?

Hidden track on new album "WHO'S BACK? feat. The Pope"

[ayu_ready?]

lmao. proud of Boa to meet the Pope

[Earth_maiden]

I'm super excited about this album! I haven't listened to any of her b-sides and I adore the a-side singles so most of this album will be brand new for me. Happy to have you back, BoA!!
