Made In Twenty (20)
''Made in Twenty (20)'' is the fifth Japanese studio album (tenth overall) by South Korean singer BoA. It was released on January 17, 2007, by Avex Trax. The title of the album refers to the fact that this is her first album since leaving her teenage years and her first album made in her 20s - specifically, when she was twenty years old. The album debuted with first-week sales of 182,009 copies, debuting at #1. Commercial performance ''Made in Twenty (20)'' debuted at the top of the Oricon Daily Album Charts and held the position for all seven days of the week, until debuting at number one at the Oricon Weekly Album Charts. However, its first-week sales were then the lowest in BoA's career in Japan, as the album sold 182,009 copies in its debut week (its successor The Face sold fewer copies in its debut week). Despite its low sales if comparing with previous efforts, ''Made in Twenty (20)'' did more than enough to top the chart, outselling the number two spot (which was also he ...

Make A Secret
"Make a Secret" is BoA's sixteenth Japanese single, and fifth lowest selling. The title track was used for a Kose Fasio commercial, and although the A-side track, "Make a Secret", was promoted, the B-side, "Long Time No See", won more acclaim and praise from fans. After the eyebrow-raising performance of her Do the Motion single, this single came as a huge disappointment to fans and staff alike. Overview Released on August 31, 2005, this was BoA's fourth lowest selling single until Dakishimeru was released in November. This single got little to no promotion, and the commercial for KOSE Fasio was rarely shown on television. Also, coinciding with the release of Mika Nakashima's Nana single (a single featuring songs from the huge movie hit, Nana, and which would go on to sell over 420,000 copies) this single was doomed to failure and would go on to barely sell 48,000 copies in three weeks, and 54,000 copies overall.
