I love BoA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you know who writes her songs?


Different lyricists and composers write BoA's songs,
although most of the time BoA helps in the process so she
also add her own flavor in the lyrics.

However, BoA has written some songs on her own such
as First Snow and Konoyono Shirushi and help compose songs
such as the cute bubblegum pop song "Nanairo no Ashita ~Brand New Beat~".

P.S: UPDATED THE THREAD!!

BoA is a wonderful performer who has A LOT of stage presence. Even when your watching her on TV or from your computer screen you can tell that she has a lot of presence. But I hate it when she's performing and starts crying because it makes me feel bad even though she's more than likely crying from being happy. For example during one of her concerts she began crying as soon as her fans started singing one of her songs when she had stopped singing.

Nicely done thread! Hm... good stage prescene, eh? I'm going to have to try and find a video of her. Maybe YT will help me out.

Yes, I am a BoA fan. ^____^
I'm glad I found this topic here.

Hmm, I like most of her songs, but I listen more to her Japanese albums than her Korean ones. (this is a Japanese guild though, so that's kind of obvious).

This is a very nice looking thread you have here.

I definitely understand what you mean about her stage presence. It's just so powerful.
