Unchained seems like an interesting release! I wonder if the new versions are all made with a similar concept since the original songs are all ballads released in the recent years. And the covers are lovely!
I liked both of BoA's new albums! Watashi Kono Mama de Ii no kana turned out to be a more solid album than I'd expected, I didn't dislike any song on the album. My instant favourite was Manhattan Tango (I wouldn't mind if BoA played more with tango and other traditional influences, Clockwork also incorporated tango influences to a great effect and I love it), and I also loved everything from Jazzclub to Lookbook (shout-out to FLY for being significantly better in its new form!) plus Kiss My Lips. It doesn't hit the highs of WHO'S BACK?, but it's a nice album.
On One Shot Two Shot, I really liked the title track, loved RECOLLECTION, really disliked YOUR SONG, and liked the rest fine enough. I think it's a slick and polished pop release but not really for me, I just didn't get anything out of songs like NEGA DOLA and CAMO. I'm not disappointed or anything, I just wish she'd hit my taste as well as she did with Kiss My Lips (which I listened to again just today; definitely still my favourite BoA album).
