BoA Jazz Club ... Why are you all sleeping on this cute bop?

Please stop posting BoA MVs over here~ She's a Korean artist and belongs in the Korean section, regardless of how popular she once was in Japan.

I'm not doing it to offend. If it was Korean I'd publish it there. She is singing in Japanese so I can't tag it MV-K, it is a PV. I would do that for any foreign artist singing in Japanese. Plus I never did it before.

Mandi is right though. BoA stopped being a Jpop artist after the br as she took. And she ain’t that famous anymore. She hasn’t been selling great lately.

I think she hasnt been selling as well due to SM not promoting her as well as they could. I worry about her future at SM.

I don’t think SM is the one managing her career in japan. They may have a hand on it but whoever her Music distribution and company, they ain’t doing their job right in promoting her. Plus, she’s not as well know as she was back in her prime.

Where does the line get drawn?  It's a japanese song for her new upcoming japanese album.  but because she is not japanese it doesn't get posted here?  just curious for future reference :)

I like it but SM should have promoted better... tbh..

been a fan of her since 2009.  I don't think you need to worry cuz she's been around for almost 2 decades while some groups can't even last 1 year.  And she doesn't need to be promoted the same way as these younger gen. idols.  She's not trying to accomplish anything by topping charts or selling millions of albums.  She's more concerned to grow as a artist and passing on her knowledge to younger Gen.  She been writing and composing all her music and albums.  As far as business... she's powerful enough and rich enough to do what she wants.  She could run SM if she wants. But she's more focus on being an artist, music, and being a mentor atm.

you are correct.  she's under Avex.  sm has little control over her japanese stuff.  same with other sm idols and their japan labels.  although... each of them have different contracts.  BoA's first contract with Avex was good.  then they started to not put much effort into her.  Her contract with them should have ended around the time she released 'milestone' in 2011.  I guess she either renewed or something.

I actually have also been a fan of BoA since 2009. If you watch the PV to the end it seems to be a co-production of AVEX and SM . They put enough money into this to film it in New York with back-up dancers and reasonable production values. Lack of promotion still seems troubling to me. I know she isn't lacking money but if she's not making any for the companies what is the likelihood of her continuing to have a public presence.

oh yeah. i didn't mean her japan activities were completely non-SM. She's a SM artist after all so they need to acknowledge that.  and like black_stare user mentioned...  I'm sure sm is involved but to what level of degree?  probably not that much.  

well again.. when you say "lack of promotions" it all depends on what their goal is.  Like I mentioned she's been in the business for almost 2 decades and still holds relevancy in japan.  her concerts sell out each time.  There's a difference between hype and popularity.  she may not be the 'current trend' or fresh face to the public anymore.. but it's not going to change anything.  Even if they promoted her hardcore plastering her face all over japan it's not going to suddenly shoot her songs to top of the charts again.  I mean.. it's the same with american artists.  Great pop legends like Michael Jackson and Prince stopped promoting like they did back in the 80s and 90s long time ago.  Every album release seemed to be fleeting from the previous one. Not selling as high as they used to and charting like they used to.  simply cuz the public likes to see 'newer' faces etc.   But they are legends nonetheless and still respected as one of the greats in music history.  BoA will be the same.  Avex is a big company that doesn't depend on only BoA or one artist anyway to bring in money so I don't think they would drop her for that.

The line has always been at whether the artist is Japanese in origin. It's not something new. This isn't Allkpop.
