Hello, this is Boa.

Over the past few years, I have been going through difficult times both professionally and personally.Despite this, I believed that I was running as best I could.However, I also thought that the way I was running might have made some people uncomfortable.

In the past, I simply believed that if I just worked hard at what I was told, things would get better.However, the world changed, I changed, and as these changes came at the same time, I found myself repeatedly wondering, “Is this the right place for me to stand?”

However, the reason I can’t let go of music is because if music disappears, it feels like my life will fall apart.So, in some way, in some form, I wanted to connect with you all through music.

Even in the moments when I was falling apart and falling down again, and it seemed like I would never get back up, I had you and the music.

I don’t know how much longer I can go on stage.You guys will get older, and I will get older too.But I believe that we still have a lot of potential in our hearts.

I want to bring that strength back together with you all.

I sincerely thank everyone who has always believed in me, worried about me, and quietly supported me.

Thanks to you all, I am BoA today too.
