Exodus still had an established major label and a niche dance hit to its credit when it was released. Boa right now has neither.

One thing I don't get is why her singles have never had adds dates. Obviously radio isn't going to give them a chance if they don't even know they're supposed to. Makes me wonder just what the process is exactly in establishing an adds date. Hmm...

i must say.. this album is worse than i thought it would be. her voice is too auto-tuned and it makes her sound very harsh. and her pronunciation of words makes her sound hard as well. overall, her voiced is too layered with synthesized beats. :(

I just glanced at a Boa forum and apparently very few people are able to find the album in stores.

I'm not liking much of Boa lately overall.I didn't even touch the album yet.I saw that PV of the single and I wanted to die.I feel like she kind of....sold out.

I think there are lots of things very intresting in this album... it's more speriemental respect utada's one...

anyway i really like "Energetic"
but i prefair the velvet deep voice of Utada... even if her album is not so innovative.

I went to Target today and I couldn't find it at all

I don't like the album as a whole (they used autotune waaaayyyyy too much), but "I Did It For Love," "Energetic," "Scream" and "Eat You Up" are all hot. If she promotes them right, IDIFL and "Energetic" could be hits for her.

Hopefully when IDIFL is released as a single you'll be able to buy it individually on iTunes. When I went on to the iTunes store today you could buy all songs individually except IDIFL and one other one. Not sure why that is!

Anyway, I think Utada's album is much more adventurous overall and her voice is much better than BoA's, too. It'll be interesting to see how both of them do in the end (in the U.S.)!

I think BoA and Utada's music styles are waaay to different to compare, but having listened to the album i found i surprisingly liked it, did ya and energetic are really catchy! ^__^

She seems to be doing quite well, number 61. itunes pop chart and 11. in music on amazon-
--whilst hikki's only 134.???!!! what?!

I think it helps that Boa's album is, you know, actually out.

I love both of them. BoA is on #20 for overall album on itunes and #5 on the pop album chart. she's doing pretty well
