^Holy crap vartan, I'm jealous. I bypass her singles and only buy full length albums. :(
well i start collecting when i was still schooling, i only focus on buying studio album at that time.
it was during her dakishimeru era, when i saw people posting their full collection that inspired me to start collecting her other work as well.
which is why for her work before dakishimeru, most of them are actually asia press.
after dakishimeru (her jap work will be in jap press, korean work in korean press)
i just save up and buy the album according to my ability. took sometime.
but when i start working, i just go full fledged into purchasing all the album.
took sometime doh. am actually thinking of purchasing her earlier work in japan press, but am not that fanboy as when i was young anymore.

I was looking for more BoA stuff when I noticed that I can't find any information about the CD+DVD edition of VALENTI. Even when I selected the option to include "out of stock" items in the search I couldn't find anything about the album on any of the major websites like Yesasia, HMV, CDjapan or Yesasia. According to Yesasia there was a "first press" edition of the album but it came with 4 photo cards, not a DVD. The DVD seems to only be included in the Overseas version which isn't legit.

Also it's not listed on the BoAjjang page for BoAs discography.
valenti cd+dvd oversea version is the legit version.

In Topic: How come Boa isn't as big as Namie amuro in japan?

Not sure if I should say this but I think her fan base in Japan just grew up with her and left her.
I must admit I grew up together with her music, but as I grow older, her music is not as appealing to the same crowd anymore.

she have outgrown the musical style and it can be seen she is having a hard time to formualte a new sound that is prominent as her start out era songs.
I was taken aback when she decided to release another cutey song woo weekend after having a few musical changes from lose your mind to bump bump. But am happy to see her taking more a creative role since her identity era.

Even thought Identity is a mass, I think it gives her experience to come out with better song like Only One, Disturbance.

Despite saying so much, I have all her discography. It would be interesting to see how much creative control she has in 2013.
in defense for saying Im not her fans. anyway the photobucket account is my nick in other forum.
