BoA celebrates 21st anniversary of her Japan debut! Latest album ‘The Greatest’ enters Oricon Daily Album Ranking at No.3!
/
BoA made a huge impact with her debut release in Japan, ‘ID; Peace B’, on May 30, 2001. Her first album ‘LISTEN TO MY HEART’ went straight to No.1 on the Oricon Album Chart and became a million seller. She went on to top the charts with six consecutive original albums, securing her position as one of Japan’s top recording artists. In March 2009, she made her North American debut with the self-titled album ‘BoA’, expanding her arena of activity from Asia to the world. In 2014, she released the long-anticipated ‘WHO’S BACK?’, her first new original album in four and a half years, and began a nationwide tour the same month, eagerly awaited by her fans in Japan. Next, BoA continued to expand her career as an actress and served as a judge on an audition show with huge viewership in her home country of South Korea, further cementing her position as a genuine artist. In 2021, she celebrated the 20th anniversary of her debut in Japan and released a new digital single ‘My Dear’ on November 5, her birthday. Following the ‘BoA 20th Anniversary FILM LIVE ~BoA THE LIVE EDITION~’ concert tour held in December 2021, BoA continues to draw attention as her career goes from strength to strength.
As the excitement from her incredible, emotional 20th anniversary concert the previous day lingered, BoA released her 20th anniversary album The Greatest on May 30 – just as she entered the 21st year since her debut in Japan. The album hit No.3 on the Oricon Daily Album Ranking on its first day, as well as taking the No.1 spot on AWA’s real-time chart, proving BoA’s enduring power in both the physical and digital markets.
BoA recently marked the climax of her 20th anniversary with a one-off concert titled ‘BoA 20th Anniversary Special Live -The Greatest-’, held at the Yoyogi National Stadium 1st Gymnasium in Japan. The concert brought together around 7,000 fans, as BoA was joined on stage by VERBAL (m-flo), Crystal Kay and Yunho from TVXQ for an unforgettable show.
The Greatest includes 10 self-covers that were originally released over 10 consecutive weeks, as well as the title track ‘The Greatest’, BoA’s latest dance track whose music video set the internet alight. It’s an album that captures the essence of BoA as she is today, so don’t miss it.
As she enters her 21st year, BoA continues to shine – keep an eye out for more! In the meantime, check out the track listing for The Greatest below along with purchase and download/streaming links, and the music video for “The Greatest”!
