I don't think it'll be another be with you. After all, it's only been a month since it came out, plus be with you. didn't sell well. avex wouldn't slam the market with another one.

LOVE LETTER on the other hand, the style of LOVE LETTER is entirely possible. I want it to be something poppy myself though, so I'm with you XD

[ayumisrael]

Who says kissing you is a ballad at all?
Maybe it's a good pop song
She usually does them after an album.

[elepop]

I want Korean songs!

Ayumi may reinvent herself, but she's not selling any more than she used too. I don't think it's really helping Ayu. Her sales are still dropping. I'm not expecting BoA to reinvent herself in the Japanese market anytime soon. She only reinvents herself in her Korean market.

be with you. didn't sell well because it was released 1 week before the album.

I honestly don't think be with you. would have sold better if it was released earlier either...

I think it would have done better than 14k o_O (or whatever the total is now).

If people didn't know about that an album would be releasing, I think it would've sold at least 25k.

[ayu_ready?]

hmmm....just imho, but to be honest I wasn't surprised be with you sold that bad
it was really boring and nothing special...hmm

[TITANIC]

poor BoA, her sales is decreasing every year.
i wonder she will realese 3-a or 4-2 single,

[Kaiouforever]

Wasn't one of her singles this year a triple A-side?

[ayu_fan929]

^LOVE LETTER wasn't a triple A side single, just an A-side with 2 B-sides.

[fanmail]

I finally appreciate the beauty of "be with you.". It's so sweet! <3

[Beauty4123]

i found be with you. boring, but at least it's better than smile again, lol.

Mm, I did at first too, but I've seen it in a totally new way just now. "Smile again" still sucks though.

Really? Smile again is one of my favorite tracks

[elepop]

Overall, BoA's Korean ballads are much better than her Japanese ballads IMO.

[TITANIC]

there is no one strong ballad song in the FACE
