the video is so American? i have been listening to American music for like almost all my life and this is nothing close to American style! LOL! some comments so funny.~ plus i think this version come out first before Korean one =) whatever it is i love BoA.....
The song is originally Japanese, they made a Korean version later. The song is supported to be a happy, optimistic song about going through obstacles and protecting one another, its about destiny. BoA's live Japanese performances of this song is all happy and colorful. BoA re-recorded the song in Korean, but the Korean version is presented as a sad tragedy.
I like this version's beat compared to the Korean one. It's not really an issue of the meaning of the song. Remember, BIG BANG actually has upbeat songs that have sad meanings. Oh well, I guess it still depends on the one hearing it. I'll still love BoA's music no matter what.
I like this version more than the other video.... because the tune of the song fits this video, in the other part the video was so sad and the song doesn't suit there~ no offense, my opinion ^^
Hey you want to see an asian girl that can sing and is hot!!, I just downloaded her songs off itunes. Her name is Jade Lee, she is Asian American and she sings with an edge. I'm her newest fan and I'm trying to spread the word. Lets support independent artists.
if you see the korean mv first and then this, this just seems so meaningless XDD I first thought the song was happy so no complaints about the overall mood of it but......yeaaahh....XD
Aha. The Korean version was much nicer and OF COURSE soo much more sad (cried like everyone else=P) I almost like that theres two different versions though, because BoA actually being Korean made the Korean version more of a story to her, and that showed, being such an amazing video.
@Uverworldfanz Um, she is definitely a professional dancer, and anyone who says she sucks needs to go see her other dance videos-particularly "Eat You Up" pronto
@arthuralan We need to be western to dance better? You sound just racist saying that. And don't forget it: American music is the music of immigrants. This is all of these blacks, latinos people who made Hip Hop, rap and rnb and reggae music. And that's why "white american" made "rock" against "rnb" music.
I like this version more because it's not some over-dramatic Korean drama (>_>). This song isn't really a sad song either, mayeb in Korean its sad? But I've read the Japanese lyrics and it's not sad, it feels melancholic/nostalgic yes but it's not sad. Plus the production value, the Korean one looks like one gigantic Olympus Camera commercial while this one a true Music Video.
i know its not my place to say this and i know im probably gonna get allot of ppl telling me off but have you guys everythink of the songs being different and not the same song?
@utoavaecha She speaks at least three different languages fluently (Korean, Japanese, & English), and she sings in some Chinese, too, though I'm not sure which dialect(s).
@Iggychan Yes, there are. Look up "BoA Sidewalks English Interview 10/2008 (All BoA Version)" here on YouTube. This video, among many others here on YouTube, will prove that she now speaks English fluently.
Well it is about personal opinion, but I do agree. I'm just saying, I want to hear/see BOTH, so there's no reason to shove the Korean version in our faces. I myself am Korean and own all of BoA's discography, so I would know.
I like all languaga.People just change that is all.You can't stop them from changing.BoA is just trying to do something different instead of just singng Korean.She enjoys singing and dancing and always will have.I love you BoA!!!4-ever and ever!!!
It's true that the Korean one didn't have all that stupid dancing as this one, but she had the same exact happy-go-lucky attitude. The problem with this one isn't that it's "Americanized", it's that it's made too trendy.
@Alias1495 when it comes to this video or in general? when it comes to this video and a lot of music, the words have meaning but the video doesn't so the words lose their meaning too and it's all just meaningless.

@LadyGoddess4ever To one who can understand the lyrics yeah this mv doesn't fit. But the beat and melody by themselves sounds cheerful which fits this mv
This is way before she got Americanized O__O And her Korean MVs got Americanized FIRST. I'm not discussing which is better cuz I like both the same. This is more Japanese style than American style. Matching the MV to the beat rather than the meaning of the lyrics is typical. O:
@manishma How did she get Americanized? All her KPop videos have the same production as other KPop videos and her JPop the same as other JPop productions....It's not her that's changing, it's the music industry. And it's not becoming more American, it's actually becoming more something of it's own. idk why everyone wants to hate on America.
@LadyGoddess4ever idk This doesn't seem Americanized....it looks like a Japanese music video. idk what American MVs you've been watching but this would not have gone down in American LOL.
I had seen the Korean video before I seen this one and when I saw this one, I just didn't like it. The Korean video had some meaning to it and this video just didn't fit the song.
I like the Japanese version of the song just not the video.
Is it me or can you hear the Korean accent/influence when she sings in Japanese? Her vowels are more guttural and nasal, it seems to me--not putting her down, just noticing; she is a wonderful singer as well as incredibly cute. I also agree that the Korean version of the video is better.
I like the korean video better either i think most of the dance scences don't fit the song ^^
But I have to say i like the singing in the japanese version better ( I know it's the same except the language as korean) but I prefer japanese ^^ Because it's easier to sing along with it
I sorta prefer the Korean Version of this better. [no offense intended] I think the Korean version has a more intense storyline! Which makes me want to watch it even more!......and because *cough* Donghae *cough* is in it.
At 2:00 you can see exactly where this video was taken: in Lone Pine, CA. The street view on Google Maps shows it. Check it out at "tiny url" (dot) com (slash) m73qbt
well.. the two MV's are exact opposite of each other.. the korean version is really sad.. and this is a preppy version.. it's a relief that the other is not too dramatic.. by the way.. i really love all 3 versions.. though the english version seem a bit awkward..
i love the hair its so awsome. not everyone can rock twists or cornrows but she pulls it off. and i love her very ethnic dancers. i like this image and think the dancing is great and very urban like what i see when i hang out with my black friends. she needs to ditch that choreo she got now cuz his style is going on boring. i hope they keep changing her style and dancing like they did througout her career.
Well I dont think so..but it was the song for the olympus CM in korea, so you might have heard the korean version before because dong hae from suju is featured in it also. :))
