Was BoA's peak in Japan bigger than other Korean acts there?

How about TVXQ and KARA?

Tvxq is arguably as strong during their peak. They are the clear top 2.

I mean her album did that but then TVXQ, Big Bang can tour to 1m so who knows but shes like top 3 at least.

Not sure if SNSD,TVXQ,Boa,Kara had a bigger peak.

Boa and TVXQ was strong for sure at their peak.

To put into context, people didn't know Boa was korean in Japan and were surprise when people were saying them.

For TVXQ, they were the rival of Arashi (best bg ever in Japan) and it said all. (Without forget they were Arashi rival when they were at their peak and on every shows)

No one cares about bOA anymore

Guess we all should be staning Berry Flop then.

She's like a jpop artist. Not many locals knew she was korean at that time.

Yep.

Quote from 2techs

Based on hard evidence, BoA's Valenti sold 1.2 million albums in 2003.

Well that was also the only way to consume music outside of the radio back then. So it's also a sign of the times.

Idk about numbers but when I was young I listen to some jpop and I remember BoA was really popular, at first I thought she was actually Japanese. I remember I heard her name along with Ayumi Hamasaki and Utada

1- BoA

2- Tohoshinki

3- KARA

4- Shoujo Jidai

5- TWICE

6- BTS

7- BIGBANG

8- SVT

9- SHINee

10- 2PM

thats the order

Kara was huge in Japan, I remember watching them on Japanese TV shows. But BoA deserves no. 1.

It is that simple. But all of the solo female artist all took the heaviest of hits mid to late 00's.

They were almost completely wiped off the map by the early 10's. BoA was one of dozens to suffer the decline.

It was also some of SM's fault but even if they did everything right BoA would probably only be selling 3x what she is now.

Which...isn't much at all either. Sucks, but the Japan industry moved onto boring folk pop music.

It is what it is. To be honest though, it doesn't really matter.

minigee Actually Berry good are more relevant than bOa now so yes stan them.

GET OUT

You wanna talk about relevance?

Lets see how many views and likes BoA's latest MV has

And now your so beloved Berry Flop (hey, I even tried liking it too, not much luck there)

Where is the "relevance"? Shouldn't your floppies had to be at least with the same view count/likes as BoA? Isn't it?

Are you both 12? That user is obviously baiting but no need to drag the other group
