Review


















 

After unsuccessful sales of triple A-side single 'DOUBLE/Midnight Parade/Milky Way~kimono Uta~'. Avex released one side single titled 'Rock With You' like 'VALENTI'. 'VALENTI' is one side single and it sold more than double A-side single 'kiseki/NO.1'. Avex made Rock With You tied up with Toshiba mobile phone au. Strangely Avex didn't look like wanting success of this single, actually almost giving up when the tracklist of Rock With You was shown. One title song + One coupling DOUBLE (English Version) and they included DOUBLE (Instrumental) again, it makes only 2 songs worth having for the people who would buy new album. DOUBLE (English Version) + Rock With You (Instrumental) but their plan could be like this since they had a presentiment of failure of Rock With You. 'Even triple A-side single didn't sell much besides soon 2nd album will be released maybe people won't buy 12th single anyway. So let's keep doing great promotion of the song 'Rock With You' but not that interesting tracklist then people will buy album anyway, Album sales is more important than single one somehow. We must sell album."
On the same day, Rock With You single has been released in Korea, exactly few days later than official release-date.
Just like DOUBLE, Korean issue comes with totally different sleeve + different tracklist.
Anyway BoA sang Rock With You on several TV shows. Just like BoA mentioned "I want new change for my fans.", Rock With You is very unique style song unlike previous songs, BoA changed her voice more tough to absorb rock genre.
Composed was done by Kazuhiro Hara who made BoA's successful singles just like LISTEN TO MY HEART, VALENTI, JEWEL SONG and arranged AKIRA. As you've seen, BoA looks good also as a rocker!

PS : Title was taken by Michael Jackson - Rock With You, but BoA version is modern style.
