^Isn't that the Best we've known about for ages and ages now...?

i think they may have pushed back the best to april, since the original date was march 4th. and utada hikaru has her US album on that date, so it's very smart of avex to switch the date.

she interviewed with Nylon Magazine? anyone have that?

I want to read it too D:

if avex pushed back the release date to april, they would not list the album on march too. from livedoor they listed 2 albums in march and april, I'm confused

The best album seems to still be on the same date in March. BoA's schedule is pretty much set for the rest of the year. I don't think they have much space to move. She has her activities in America to consider now. It's probably not as simple a matter as to move it forward. Something else is in April. I don't think they care for the number one for this best album. Her streak is in her studio albums so I don't think they care if it makes it to one or not. Or they want that competition between the two.

Chart 1/24/09

This is the latest chart. BoA has moved down 2 places, from 12 to 14.

If it goes down again, I think we can say that it has reached it's limit.

Oooh I get it now, the English album, one of those is talking about the English album, it's gotta be.

^ so the english album will be released in japan, then? :shrug

I would assume it'd be released globally in the end. As far as I'm aware, CDs of US artists are sold everywhere.

Plus, it's avex, of COURSE they'd take this oppertunity to milk some more cash out of poor BoA

A Best album! Woot!! ^^

OMG!!!! WOW great NEWs!!!!!

from: |masa|@soompi

If it's true, that is a nice way to go against Utada.

I wish I lived in Japan. I would be able to go in a buy a bunch of my favorite artists music that day.

It's lame how only Valenti and Meri Kuri are going to have new versions, I would have loved a 3cd collection, but whatever...

WOW...the american debut?!..is the 2CD+2DVD first press??? i hope not...I want Singapore to have it!

but then again...these few years, Singapore has had no probs having first press...

Wow. It's really cool to see that BoA's debut will be packed with her BEST album. Will it come out in Japan first then? That means earlier leaks. Regardless I am going to buy it here in the U.S. and anyone that doesn't is SCUM. SCUM!

I really hope Eat You Up climbs up the charts. It has SO MUCH POTENTIAL. I am telling you. It's so catchy!

:yes @ everything you said

^ Lol. Well it's the truth. WE ALL have to SUPPORT her here in the STATES!

It's gonna be cheaper here in the US anyway.

Eien full song leaked~ i posted it here http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=85012

omg i LOVE it. i was expecting a ballad but it sounds much more upbeat :heart

also, not confirmed but this is a possible cover


if it's real, it's beautiful

Eien is the best single she's let out since...It's been sooooooooooo long, [Key of Heart]. ^_^ I love it. I hope she makes an english version of this song. It's very pretty.

Eien is really GREAT <3 I love it, well I loved all of her singles (besides Lose your mind), this was a great choice to promote the new best of!

The song is very nice to listen to, it's hot!

If you're too lazy to download it, here's a youtube link. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=aqw5GFGQxKg

You know I was scared for this. I usually like BoA's ballads. They never seem to let me down. But after the very different sound of EYU, I didn't want another Winter Love but this has a very R&B sound. Amazing what having a black guy say HEY in the background does to a song.

Not bad..i listened to it 3 times straight ahha

I like the HEY in the background. And the beat of the song is what makes it sound good.

Those pictures are for the Eien single.

BTW the second disc is not the english album. The second disc will only have two songs: EYU and LWT.

i like the last one but they're all very pretty.

the second one is a weird angle lol

i actually kind of want this ... although i may want it less once the tracklist is out ..
since i'm not huge on BoA's asian music (there are definitely some gems, but ...)

i'd really love to here her re-do KEY OF HEART English Version, honestly, more than anything.

speaking of KEY OF HEART, can somebody upload it for me? (engrish version prease.)

The second disc only has two songs? o_O.....

^That's what HMV is saying. That's weird. It's like an album with a single attached to it.

Here's the tracklisting according to HMV.

I don't like the CD tracklisting, it's missing be with you., one of my favourite ballads. :/

do only VALENTI and Meri Kuri have new album mixes.? 0_0

I love the covers!! Thanks for posting them!

Is Eien still a triple a-side single or only a single a-side single? I'm confused.

Eien is a single a-side single.

^ Ok, thanks for letting me know.

seriously if only 2 songs have new album mixes i am DEFINITELY not getting this.

i was considering it before, but now ... rawr.

i like the song too...
really "in" type of song that japan love right now...
that's the cover for best album or eien single?

I think they only put LWT and EAY 'cause we dont know tha tracklist from the AMERICAN DEBUT , i hope in a few days we will see the full tracklist!

She looks like a model in the Eien covers. I wonder what the BEST album cover will look like.

Weird tracklistings for the best album...hopefully they get updated with some more stuff soon.

Btw, I listening Eien, wow is a very cool song! I love it! Can't wait for the PV!!!!!

^ Me too, hope the PV will be good! ^^

I LOVE EIEN! It's so nice sounding. It's not super upbeat, but it's not too slow either. And I think it reflects what she's been working on in the states (I would die if this were included on her English album <3)

xD The song remember me "Bye Love Bye" from tohoshinki xDDDD

I loooooooove eien, cant stop listening xDDD

Eien is so addictive... LOVE IT! <3

I want a really cuuuuute PV for this song!!

I prefer the cd+dvd cover. :)

^^Yeah. Same here.

I want a PV that's happy and sweet, like Sparkle. :P

Anywas, I'm totally addicted Eien. It's one of BoA's best after a really long time!

omg the covers are beautiful. if i wasn't saving the little money i have for ayu i'd totally buy it :scry

:yes

^ LOL xDDD

I prefer the CD Only XD, I love her piercings!!!!! is so sexy !!

I really love when girls put many piercings in their ears :D is so sexy!!

LOL, I didn't notice either about the piercings. XD

I don't like the best album's track listing (even if that's not the order the songs will be in)... :( But I'll probably still buy it anyways. Hopefully the covers will be awesome.

What don't you like about the song?

I don't like the tracklisting either, cus it's missing a few a-side songs that I like.

Eien sounds pretty good. It didn't grab me at first, but it's good. :)

EIEN has a good beat to it, and I like her vocals, but... the hey... it's bothersome, and also, it's kinda... boring.

I excited to see the PV. I don't like looking at performances of ballads. They always just stand there. I usually just check in to hear the first couple of seconds to check out the outfit and maybe the mood, but that's it. And BoA's ballad performances are especially boring. Sometimes I don't bother to see her ballad performances at all.

^ i love her ballad performances just because she usually sings her ballads so well live, sometimes even better than the original recordings

eien is sooo nice! i realy like it :P

I find Eien rather catchy actually. I'm getting LOVE LETTER vibes from it.

....i can't stop listening to "eien" :thud the covers are pretty nice too, lol.

... Ah.. Eien.. is great... ... The vocal movements ALMOST remind of the small "Sparkle" preview we have...

Instead of dun dun dun..... DUN.
This is like... dun dun dun DUN.

...yeah.

^ lol what? ayu's sparkle?? :shakehead

eien is soo addicting

wow the covers are BEAUTIFUL!! Those covers should've been "THE FACE" covers.


Also this cover reminds me of this other cover but i can't really remember. BEAUTIFUL!

I don't know if this has been mentioned but that Crystal Kay and Verbal song was untitled but now MY DREAM COME TRUE seems to be the title.

i LOVE the covers...

Hmm... I do like the title, I hope the song will be good.

Bigger covers and better quality promo picture:

^^Thanks for the bigger covers!! They look even better! What's with the promo pic??

Bigger pics!! Woot! ^^

the promo pic is the best from all those pictures!! they should've chosen that one as the CD only cover :x

i'm excited for her BEST!! especially the covers :D
gonna download eien now :love

It reminds me of Namie's 60s 70s 80s, at least the face and hairstyle. =] But it also reminds me of another cover, can't think of it at the moment though. o_O

better than VIVID cover IMO

I want a really nice PV, with cool dance moves and stuff, yup! ^^

I don't like the Promo Picture, especially when placed in such a close vicinity to the much superior ones.

The promo is way better than EITHER of the covers =/

The covers look like something that would be in a fashion magazine, they're very model-esque.

I definitely agree!!

The promo pic.. I didn't recognise her at all!

永遠 is nice!
Does anyone have 永遠's lyrics?

It reminds me of Ayu's HEAVEN, a bit.

lyrics and translation

^ LoL, Bye Bye Bye. I'm doing this tonight, you're probably going to start a fight (fight), I know this can't be right hey baby come on. Keehehehe. NSync ftw!

the lyrics are nice. a bit more sad than i expected for a more upbeat song

LOL!!! XD

Thanks for the translation Sundae. The lyrics don't match the song at all.... Well, I hope the PV is gonna be happy and I REALLY REAAALLY hope BoA shows us some more dance moves!!

^ Wow, I want a hot PV with crazy dance moves and stuff like that.

Chart 1/31/09

BoA has moved up 2 places, from 14 to 12.

She went down for the last chart. But went back up. I didn't expect that.

^ Which chart is that?

BillBoard Hot Dance Club Play. The only one she's charted on. Lady Gaga's Poker Face will probably pass her next week. That was a large jump.

so was there ever a date mentioned when Look who's talking album would be released in the US? or anything about promotions for it? i really hope she'll get some decent promotion.

dosen't the album come out in march/spring?

In Japan, it comes out in March(unless they move the date sometime in the future). I haven't heard anything about a US release date yet. Maybe when they focus on the tracklisting, we'll get something.
