BoA-14th Japanese Single "Merikuri" Information Update
UPDATE

BoA's 14th single is called 「メリクリ」, or in other words, "Merikuri". Apparently, there's going to be three different types of releases:

04.11.10 (CD)
04.12.01 SACD (Super Audio CD)
04.12.01 DVD Audio

The song will also be the BGM for the new TOSHIBA W21T CM.



As mentioned before, "Merikuri" will be a ballad song.

LOL I don't get the SACD/DVD-Audio stuff with Avex lately... I can't wait to hear some of this ballad... Isn't 'Merikuri' like Merry Christmas or something? Thanks for the info AyuLover!

They shorten everything in japan. IE compyutah is usually shortened to compyu. So meri-kuri is most likely shorted merry christmas.

"Merikuri" is supposed to be a shortened way of saying "Merry Christmas". It's like the Japanese version of "X-MAS". =)

It would be much dooler if it meant Mercury . Anyway, isn' this supposed to be her 15th single? Or isn't "Don't start now" considered as a single at all?

No, "Merikuri" will be BoA's 14th single. "Don't start now" was a special single, so it isn't in the official single numeric system. "the meaning of peace" was an extracuricular Avex charity single, so it wasn't counted...same with her featured singles.

I thought "Merikuri" meant 'mercury' too. xD
