Then I talked to a friend from Japan and she said all the BOA releases in Japan are in japanese. Do they sing their songs in both languages? Or do they have different songs in Japan? Anybody have more info on this?
As far as I know, the band BOA that performed the Duvet song does all of their songs in english. Because they are from England. They just happen to have a recording contract with Sony Japan. But since the advent of Serial Experiments Lain in the US, they managed to get a North American contract too. Or at least, Sony Music decided to release their album here domestically.
There is a popular female performer named BoA however who does j-pop stuff I think (I've never heard any of her stuff though).
