But remember, the album is only being released in Japan for right now. It's a ploy designed to get the public to buy her "Best" album being BoA hasn't had a hit since "Winter Love". I don't think that'll really hurt her chances in the U.S.; no one knows her well enough outside of her already-established fanbase to realize the album has been released. It didn't hurt all those British acts whose albums came out 6 months prior to their U.S. debuts.
