BoA has been watching fancams of her concerts in awe, but has asked fans to stop recording during a concert. On February 22nd, she tweeted, "I've never been able to hear myself from the audience, but I guess this is how it feels like."

The singer held her "The Live 2010 X'mas" last year on December 21st and fans were not allowed to record or take pictures during the concert. BoA performed Stevie Wonder's "Blue Moon" and the Christmas Carol "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas". However, these two covers were not included in BoA's DVD "The Live 2010 X'mas" release.

But because taking pictures and recording during a concert is not allowed by the companies, BoA tweeted, "Wait...next time, don't record during a concert...!"

Aww! BoA! T___T They're not included in the DVD though, and most of us can't go to Japan to see the performances live.. >___>

But she's so cute haha, watching her own fancams xD

[xxiicorina]

[wanderjunior~♪]

[myBoAdaebak]

No but seriously. I find it funny that she would be watching her own fan cams.Especially since she doesnt even like to hear her own songs o_o

[fararibmw]

LOL! BoA found out about the recordings! well she get to enjoy her work from a audience point of view too

[2boamystar]

Oh dear. It is good to see the copy rights problems are paid attention. It will help her sales

BoA really needs to look at her own hypocrisy here. She watches the videos, but asks the fans not to share them for other fans? If you don't want other people to do something, don't do it yourself. It's not like these people are recording videos to bootleg and sell them for a profit.

If you don't want people recording, then release all the material on CD or DVD--it's that simple.

It's also very, VERY bad form for an artist to say such a thing. I've done business with music artists before, so I know first-hand that it's always left up to people at the venue, promoters, or whatever, to say things like this. The artist is NEVER supposed to comment. This isn't cute, it's rude and unnecessary.

BoA needs to be quiet about things that are other people's jobs, and stay focused on doing her own job. Especially in BoA's case, when she can barely give her CD's away in Japan anymore. She ought to be more concerned with finding better songs to record, than worry about what her fans are recording.

She should also be thankful that there are still people bothering to show up to her Japanese concerts to record fancams.

I still like BoA, of course--you can like someone and still point out when they're messing up. I'm just saying that somebody needs to set her straight.

Ah... So those covers won't be included in DVD. Well, for me it's not a big problem.. I'm focusing on her songs..

[InuBoA_Kwon]

Waw,, March is ahead...
I need bank now...

[noshadow31]

LOL If I didn't know better, I'd have thought some of you were antis.

Look, BoA got youtube links of those two songs from fans. (only audio not fancams actually)

She got hyped up listening to her own performance and happily retweeted links to her followers.

Several minutes (or hours) later, she realized that by retweeting those links, it can be interpreted that she approved of fan recordings in her concerts.

Naturally, she'd tweet another message saying "On a second thought, isn't recording at concert illegal? Fans, please refrain from recording in the future."

I find it very adorable on her part!! I even tweeted a message myself saying "Attention all BoA fans, since BoA has asked us nicely, please behave from now on." (not exact quote.)

I guess people' perceptions are really different.

Totally agree.

It is disappointing that she said that.
We, if we take photos or videos of her is to keep a memory.
That's after the concert, we can review it, we can "relive" the good times.
Or a few years later when we see this photos, it remember to us the good times we spent together.

But if it is the will of artisit ....
