Just ‘Cause: A Humble BoA

I remember seeing this a while back and thinking how crazy it is that even with all the success BoA has had all over asia, it still hasn’t really gone to her head. This is a performance of her in Japan. After she finishes the crowd continues and just watch her reaction.

Now as she actively works to make inroads into the US music industry it’s good to see the support she still has back in Asia. Maybe this can one day happen for her in the US?

I think its refreshing to see real emotions coming from real people who ordinarily don’t have the luxury of being… real.
