^ yep, Japanese love ballads like Ayu's Moments and JEWEL SONG by BoA. Also a lot of pop-ballads do well (Mr Children and such). I don't get why people complain about BoA atm, her English album was actually pretty catchy (I like Obsessed sooo much!) and BUMP BUMP! is not so bad once you give it a second or third chance. BoA has never disappointed me really
