I'm not very sure if she will regroup well in a near future. I'm by no means a BoA Hater, but nowadays i only download her music cause she's BoA. Her albums are pretty bland IMO. The last single i've enjoyed was Sweet Impact and it did after, approximately, 14 listens (Which is bad since I Loved Outgrow era singles, and Winter Love at first listen)

Although promotion could seem to be the main factor, i would take into account that Quality ,Freshness(If that's even a word) And Good Image is what makes artist succeed. Even if it's not necessary to point out Kumiko, It's a good example of people getting tired of the same generic ballad (Ai no Uta, Yume Uta, Futari de, Moon Crying and the list goes on) and Low quality pop tunes(Last Angel , But, That Ain't Cool DISASTER) and not to mention that scandal

LOL @ Koda Kumi's "scandal. It's only a scandal in Japan. That comment was nothing here haha.

haha, anyways, yeah regrouping is necessary for a lot of acts I'm sure we can agree. Again, BoA's problem is that 795873284798 people think different things of her music lately. In fact, I keep hearing how she needs to do something like "Girls On Top," and thought that song/video was mediocre, especially the whorrible hair. ;p
