Do the Motion

"Do the Motion" is BoA's 15th Japanese CD single (and first of 2005), and third highest selling. This was also BoA's first number one single, and made her the first non-Japanese Asian singer to top the Oricon charts in over 21 years. This single scored commercial endorsements for every song on the single (excluding the TV Mixes) and is BoA's highest selling single of 2005. This was also the first single for her sixth Japanese album, Outgrow.

Overview

Released on 30 March 2005 (a month after the release of her smash "Best of" compilation Best of Soul), "Do the Motion" would obtain the number one position on the day of its release and would go on to grab the number one position for the week with first week sales in excess of 66,000 copies, and did not fall out of the top 20 until the sixth week after its release. The leading track, Do the Motion, showcased a completely new style which had a "jazzy" feeling to it, although many Western fans were apprehensive about how well accepted this style shift would be, the Japanese public would embrace it along with the two B-side tracks: the ballad, Kimi no tonari de (キミのとなりで), and the mid-tempo track, With U, which was coined by BoA herself.

Boa (Croatian band)

Boa is a Croatian music group, which was especially prominent during the 1980s around the former SFR Yugoslavia.

History

The band's early history started in Zagreb, then SR Croatia in 1974, when its founding members Mladen Puljiz and Slavko Remenarić, switched their interest from classical music to rock music, inspired by art rock acts such as Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, David Bowie, Roxy Music and Peter Gabriel.

The group started its concert activity in 1979 with a line-up consisted of: Mladen Puljiz (keyboards, vocals), Slavko Remenarić (guitar), Igor Šoštarić (drums) and Damir Košpić (bass guitar). The band moved towards the then actual New Romantic sound and fashion and after the release of their debut album for Suzy in 1982, they were voted by the readers of the prominent Yugoslav musical magazine Džuboks as the best upcoming act of the year.

Their next album Ritam strasti (Rhythm of passion) followed by around a hundred concerts around former Yugoslavia brought them even higher popularity. Despite the fact that their next album Govor tijela (Body language) included some successful hits, the band fell into creative crisis and thus the group halted its activities until 1989 when the group got a new rhythm section consisted of the drummer Paolo Sfeci (former member of Aerodrom and Parni valjak) and the bass player Zvonimir Bučević (prominent session musician).
