Outgrow [A Type / w/ DVD, first pressing only limited release]

This album is a classic and a personal favorite of mine from her early Japanese works. It has many great songs from its singles to its album tracks. "Everlasting" is the most beautiful ballad in her Japanese discography, which I adore listening to on repeat at times. The album tracks "cosmic eyes" and "Love is just what you can't see" both feel like a very mature cute, and the singles "DO THE MOTION", "Dakishimeru" and "make a secret" are total bops. "First snow" is a nice bonus track. I actually really enjoy listening to it every December as part of my personal Christmas Songs Playlist. The album DVD includes the MVs for "DO THE MOTION", "make a secret", "Dakishimeru" & "Everlasting" along with a Making Off-Shot of the album. All are great to watch, though if you don't speak Japanese you might not understand everything being said in the Making part as there's no subtitles included.

A great collection including several of her singles, and some new songs which are really unique and different to her previous songs. It was really nice to see BoA take on new styles and, of course, excel in them. The title track is a very ambitious song, and while she pulls it off I'm not so keen on the song itself. Silent Screamerz is very catchy and I think it suits her voice very well. I think the song 'Love is just what you can't see' was really different and I loved it, especially the refrains, and BoA had a hand in writing it, too. First Snow was a beautiful track as well, again with lyrics penned by BoA. The only thing that could make it better would be taking a few of the B-sides off and putting a few new songs on it but regardless, it's another successful album from BoA. The music videos are great as well, showing her more mature side. Great dancing as always. A must-buy for all BoA fans. :)

This is the second album I own from BoA. I got MiT first then purchased OUTGROW and I have to say I like this album a little better. MiT had more...modern-ish songs. But OUTGROW had songs with a great dance beat and a certain vibe that made you want to move. The DVD with the PVs for Dakishimeru, Do the Motion, and Make a Secret was nice. I enjoyed watching all 3 and would definatly recomend this for anyone who liked BoA.
