Boa Kwon

I'm surprised i don't see a thread dedicated to her, she is probably one of the most well known singer in japan [despite being of korean heritage!] With over 10 japanese albums [including compilation and remix albums] under her belt at 22 years old. Even if you're not a very big fan of her music. That is AMAZINGLY IMPRESSIVE!

Most of you will know her as the singer that sang the inuyasha opening! but this girl's talent is not to be messed with. Her voice has a massive vocal range and she's got mad dancing skills. [seriously, me and Nantena are in awe of her dancing skills]

There are lots of Japanese singers who have Korean heritage. It's just that a lot of non-Japanese fans don't notice this.

Anyway, BoA is interesting for having an unusual style during her debute.

I'm not a big fan of BoA.
But...she's absolutely gorgeous...& undeniably talented.
I wonder how her American debut went..I never kept up with it..
I reallyyy hope she did/does well(for an Asian in the American market)! She deserves it^^

BoA's great! I love her music, I'm really psyched that she's coming out in America! I practically freaked when I found that out (as well as finding out about Utada coming out in the US). I would love to see Boa in concert someday, and for her name to be a well known name all over. I also love her first name 'Kwon' it's really diffferent and nice.

or her age, she debuted at 13.

There is another reason why she prefers to write her public celebrity name BoA instead of Boa.

By saying Boa, it pronounces like [bow-uh] from English word for a snake. But saying BoA, it pronounces like [bo-ah] just like the original pronunciation.

Is this really true?

I mean, I know of Miyavi, but that's all.

back on topic.

She did the Inu opening? really? I like it, so it's cool to know who did it.

You can split them up into two groups. The koreans born in japan-miyavi & crystal kay
and now the sudden influx of korean bands entering the japanese market. Boa Kwon is the latter, along with DBSK, SS501.

She's got mad dance skills
