Oh it's that time again already ? I LOVE BoA X'mas Live, it's one of the thing I look forward to every year on Xmas.

[BoA_rocks_in_english]

Meh i'd rather a new single lol

[2boamystar]

I definitely wait for this. I always love Xmas Live from BoA

[Zanarkand]

Even a small digital release, who knows. But like WeLuvUBoA-kiddo said above^, it's true that she said she was busy recording in the studio and I'm 100% sure it's for whatever Japanese activities that they're planning, since there's probably no way she's making a Korean comeback.

Super excited to see what concept she goes with this time, and what the setlist will be. And naturally, I'm hoping it's more on the theatrical side like 2010's. She was so high energy and adorable the whole way through the show~

The Xmas Live 2010 was the best Xmas show ever, in every sense. Outfit, energy, charisma, music, creativity, audience

[starfire_1710]

I really really hope she would release new stuffs before the Live Xmas hold. A single? Probably. A new album? Little tiny ray of hope, because I know she need at least 2-3 decent singles before releasing new album to ensure its success. Seriously, new songs please...Until now we haven't heard any info, I wonder when will be the time for us to have something new. As far as I know, new single is always announced at least 1 month (or even 2 months) before released, right? Announcement then new PV, then promotion time before the CD sold.

@BoAnews said that was a single ?? But it's only a rumor.
Hum ? album or single ? Confused lol !

[noshadow31]

No that schedule table cant be true >_<
How come there's no Japan Tour early next year? >_<
and SM can't possibly debut 2 new units in the same year now, can they?

OMG!!!!!!! According to this, there will be  BoA's new Japanese album in second half of 2011. An album? I don't know what the source of this image is but i hope it's true. Releasing time is unidentified, like CSJH The Grace 's Korean album and SHINee's Japanese album but The Grace released there Korean album few months ago, didn't they? About SHINee, i don't know about their Japanese album info? Did they release it or not? Seems like 2011 was the busy year in Japan with SM artist, especially second half of the years with SHINee's concert and album, DBSK's album, F(x) debut and (may be) BoA's album? Hope they will not make their artists' album releasing time overlap.

Wait...Was that "Summer selection" or sth considered an album? If it was, well...may be BoA's album is that? If BoA has new album in 2011, that will be big surprise to me. I mean she really strong singles released before that to ensure the album's success.

Unless they want another slap in the face like they did with the sales of IDENTITY, I highly doubt that there will be an album by the end of 2011.

She's released absolutely nothing to promote it, nor has she gone on any sort of TV program, radio interviews or anything of the like. Summer Sonic, a-nation, even SMTown gave no hints towards anything this huge being done by the end of the year, so dropping an album completely unannounced would bring her down further than she already is. I love BoA and would support her until the end, but I have it very clear in my mind that she isn't Ayumi Hamasaki, as things stand for her right now in Japan this wouldn't be the smartest tactic to get her proper recognition on Oricon, much less revive her popularity. An end-of-the-year single would most likely suit it, preferably a well-written ballad, because those sell relatively well for her and would give her a better base for sales into early 2012.

I'm really trying not to get my hopes up too high for anything so I'll have to wait and see.

BoA's kind of like this "ghost" in the J-pop scene, she's "there," but she hasn't made any impact or dent for a long long time.

BoA needs to put her face in Japanese magazine and TV shows if she's seriously thinking of making her 10th Japanese anniversary a hit. A tie in with a commercial or a drama or an anime would also help.

Otherwise it'll have the same or similar results to Identity. I have no problem if her 10th anniversary will have low sales as long as she releases something new. But obviously the fan base wants something huge and that takes a lot of promotion.

To quote Zanarkand, BoA isn't Utada or Ayu who drops something out of nowhere and it goes on to chart for weeks and have a sold-out nation-wide tour.
