She is a singer representing Japan from Fukuoka. She doesn't have a father. She was doing various work of a model, an apparel salesclerk and so on, because she was pressed for money. After a debut, she always continued being a Japanese top singer.
When I was a schoolchild or a junior high school student, she was our fashion leader and existence of yearning. We had imitated her makeup and dress. Actually, I wore "the tail" to the waist.

This is picture of "the tail".




But I searched, I wasn't able to find her song (English version). Sorry...
So I introduce the music to which other persons covered her music.



 

 

 

I think that this music is the most famous music in her song. She is very beautiful and cool in this music video. This song is difficult and I cannot sing...

 

 

She also grew up. It seems that the newest album is also put on the market. Please check.

I think that they are the one of band representing Japan. I think that Miwa Yoshida is the best singer in Japan. Her voice has very powerful high-pitched tone. To the contrary, she can sing with addressing to us gently.
I think that their representation song is this song. I will be happy if I listen this song.

When winter comes, I want to come to listen this song. Although I love this song, I'm difficult  English and cannot sing English....

The song which I can sing best is their music "Mirai Yosouzu Ⅱ".

In recent years, many Korean singers are in Japan. But, I think that BoA is a Korean singer's pioneer.
She is writing the lyrics by herself. She studied Japanese. She is so cute and good at dancing. I like her songs, for example, VALENTI, LISTEN TO MY HEART, Nanairo no Ashita, and....

And she sings many ballade songs. Especially, I like the song "Merikuri." This song is the Christmas song. Her voice is clear and easy to listen.

 

In 2008, she put the debut album in the United States. She will play an active part in the world from now on.
