I have a long and complicated fandom with BoA, but until 1S2S, I never really loved most of her Korean stuff (other than a few things here and there), and always found the Japanese versions of songs to be superior. While Watashi Kono Mama de Ii no Kana was good, with a few really great songs on it - her Japanese music is so much less inspired than her Korean these days. Her Korean music is so much more fresh sounding, whereas her Japanese sounds like she's a balladeer waiting on her next MeriKuri. I hope she can bring some more of this edgy sound and image to her next Japanese work.

Same here. I think I never liked as many songs in her Korean releases as in her Japanese albums, but 1S2S was a hit for me and also felt so fresh yet so BoA. KML was also a good step-up from her previous Korean albums, but the direction she went for with 1S2S was more interesting to me. WOMAN feels like a continuation of KML, which is not bad buuuut didn't get me right away as 1S2S (which is the first and only release of hers I ever bought lol). Either way it's amazing how she put out so many great songs this year in different releases, all of them really great quality-wise!
