It is good for BoA since she is a korean artist not many korean artist have even touched her peak BoA is a historical icon she is breaking records for korean artist. About knocking off Ayumi Hamasaki.... She was the only artist around the A Best days so it did sell alot Namie Amuro was gone and they're were not alot of artist out at the time. She is a great artist extremly talented but her music sucks her composer is horrible he is hurting her career i am being blunt about saying what everyone is afraid to say. She sings awesome but this guy producing her tracks is hurting her she needs to produce herself or with DAI or HAL again they made the best music that suits her! I agree with alot of you.
I do music myself and i understand what all of you are saying. Yes BoA taking ayu's crown is way out of question right now she would need to make her music more mature and more serious lyrics. She is young. Ayumi needs to be in touch with herself again all this glitz and happy tunes are not ayu. Like when alot of fans heard inspire they knew what her music was coming to. It made alot of people nerveous but then Carols came and it saved the day. It shows BoA is working harder than ever she is succesful in both countries Korea and Japan and soon China.
Just as Namie Amuro is popular in all Asia no one has forgot her it is just that she is keeping a low profile in Japan she even said it in her interview in the UK u guys read she was on MTV ASia Aid that is who people wanted to see she is on her rise again. BoA is approaching the million mark and more is expected to come... i love ayu,boa,and namie
