Boa Noite Punpun Oyasumi

Kwon BoA is a singer/dancer with a slight R&B edge to her music. Originally from Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, BoA was discovered at the age of 11 as part of a nationwide talent search. She followed her 2nd oldest brother to an SM Entertainment office where he was auditioning to become a singer. Unfortunately for her brother, BoA was discovered instead. While securing great popularity in Korea, she has also managed great success in the Japanese music industry. In 2001, at the tender age of 13, she released her debut single “ID; Peace B” to the Japanese market. Her debut single demonstrated surprising talent for someone so young. Her success has been partly due to her abilities to quickly learn the Japanese and English languages. This is also the reason for some of her songs having a large number of alternate versions (various language and remix versions). BoA has released a number of albums in both Korea and Japan, remaining popular with a mixture of infectious upbeat melodies and sweeping ballads. She is currently promoting in Japan with her latest album, “The Face” that later reached #1 on the Oricon Charts. BoA is also planning to debut in the US in mid-2008.

To coincide with the release of her seventh Japanese full-length album Identity, BoA went on a nine-city concert tour throughout Japan. The BoA Live Tour 2010 Identity DVD captures the tour's final shows at the Tokyo International Forum, and it includes the show in its entirety.
