Review



















 

Exactly 3 weeks after releasing VALENTI, Avex released another new single. It was a Double A single includes 3 new tracks.
(Double A-side single : Single with two main title tracks) R&B dancemusic titled 'kiseki' and another title song was NO.1 (Japanese Version). At that time, BoA was making a sensation in Korea with NO.1. Therefore, Avex made up to include Japanese translated version in BoA's 7th single. Except two main title tracks, one more new song was added. flower, this song is b-side track.

On the releasing date, there was BoA's rival singer 'Matsura Aya's new single. so each fan of Aya & BoA expected their favorite singer's NO.1 debut on the daily chart. But sadly BoA made a debut at 3rd. NO.1 was Aya, NO.2 was Hirai Ken.
Selling two singles was not an easy job because BoA already released new single 'VALENTI', 3 weeks ago. 9/18. kiseki stood on NO.2, and VALENTI on NO.9. Two singles in top ten. Unexpectedly one title single 'VALENTI' was stronger in sales. 'VALENTI' didn't fell down fastly on the chart. Both singles were sold well.

Anyway due to schedule in Korea, BoA couldn't promote this single well.

Reading review by Japanese BoA fans, could realize that they really liked NO.1. Their fav track list of this single.
NO.1 -> Flower -> kiseki.

PS : Single release-date was same from Aya's. few times. and BoA lost everytime. and they released their each 2nd album on the same day. This day, BoA - VALENTI became NO.1, beating Aya's 2nd album. VALENTI sold 615218 copies on weekly chart. Aya sold around 200000 copies, the first week.
