"i have just recently found out about BoA. i listened to her songs and i think that she is a great singer. she's got a beautiful strong voice and the style of her singing is just great. what a talent for a young singer! her third song on the album 'Every Heart' is a beautiful love ballad that i really love it. it's emotional and the music is really beautiful. 'don't start now' has a really catchy tune and 'kimochi wa tsutawaru' is an excellent song. i would give 5 stars to all the song's on this album because i think that the style and music combining with BoA's talented voice makes really good songs. i recommend this to anyone who loves R&B and pop. i also recommend her newest album "No.1". it is also a great album and even better!! :)"

"What can I say? This is an awesome album that BOA has done and I absolutely love it!! The tracks are as followed:
1. Listen to My Heart-This is probably one of my favorite songs on this album because it has such a great energetic beat to it that makes you just wanna dance! The rhythm is very good and I've seen her music video for this song on her BOA Best of Soul and it's really good!! It's one of those songs that you won't get bored of even if you listen to it over and over again!
2. Power-This song starts off weird with this weird dude singing (is he singing?)and although it's not a favorite song of mine, I still think it's great. BOA has a whole new attitude in this song than her other songs and that's what makes it good. The beat is catchy and overall, this song is something that you won't hear BOA sing everyday!!
3. Every Heart-Minna no Kimochi-OMG!! This song is so beautiful!! It's kind of slow, but that's why I like it!! BOA's voice is so pretty in this song. Its tune and beat is just so well put in and in my opinion, it'll relax you! You can just space out with this song playing and like the first track; you can listen to it over and over again!
4. Don't Start Now-I like how this song first starts; it's an energetic beat that'll make you want to listen further and further until the song is done. BOA's voice in this song is catchy and fast which is why I like it a lot. I highly recommend this song for you all because it's really good!
5. Kimochiwa Tsutawaru-This song is soooo cool! The beginning is absolutely catchy and the lyrics are awesome!! The beat is really great in this one and it takes you further and further! I never get tired of listening to this song and her music video for this song is super!! The chorus gets your attention and keeps it too so I really think you should listen to this song.
6. Share Your Heart (With Me)-Well, this song starts off kind of slow, but nonetheless has a good tune to it. I don't listen to it a lot, but when I do, it's very good. The lyrics are beautiful and BOA's voice is very good in this song.
7. Dreams Come True-I love this song!! The beginning starts off on a weird kind of tone, but gets really energetic and it just makes you want to get up and dance! It'll keep you occupied for awhile and the beat goes from energetic to semi-calm and then back to energetic. I highly recommend you listen to this song!
8. Amazing Kiss-A good song that I like to listen to and her music video for this is very good; if you buy BOA Best of Soul, watch this music video! The tune and beat will quickly grab your attention and BOA's voice sounds somewhat younger but I like it that way. Sometime through the song, it gets really energetic, and that's the part of the song that I really liked!
9. Happiness-I don't really listen to this song a lot. It starts off slow and then gets really energetic and that's the part that I like! I'm not going to write a lot for this song because it's not exactly a favorite of mine, but nevertheless a good song to listen to!
10. ID; PeaceB-you gotta love this song!! This is BOA's debut song on her first single and I absolutely love it!! The beginning is all funky which makes you want to listen to it over and over again. The tune will really charge you up to go and dance and speaking of dancing, her music video is very good for this song!! Anways...you'll love this song!
11. Nobody But You-umm...I don't exactly listen to this song a whole lot, but it's good. BOA's voice in this song has attitude and that's what makes it good! Well, not much to say except to just listen and love it!
12. Nothing's Gonna Change-Compared to all the other songs on this album, the beat and tone is a whole new thing. It has a kind of sad tone to it and that's why I like it so much. You can listen to it over and over again and you'll never get tired of it!
13. Listen to My Heart (Hex Hector Main Mix: English Version)-Bonus Track-Oooh!! I love this song a whole lot because BOA starts off mysterious and cool!! Her English in this song is very good. It's soo catchy and you'll want to listen to it again and again and again!! The tune in my point of view is very good!! A definite good song!
14. The Meaning of Peace-Another good song of BOA's. In fact, this is one of the first songs that I listened that BOA sang. I had no clue who she was and this song sort of introduced me to her! Kind of weird, but I really like this a lot and it has some bits and pieces of English lyrics in there which is really good!
So, I hope you enjoy this album because I really did! The running time of this album is 1:01:37 or 1 hour, 1 minute and 37 seconds. I don't know if this review was helpful or not, but I hope it was!

"BoA has a wondderful voice! It's strong and the words flow with a passion and she gives life to them. She can sing in more than one language as well and ,unlike some other artists, she sound great in all languages. Her meaning isn't lost in the translation.
My friend burned me some of the songs from this cd for me
(1. Listen To My Heart, 3. Every Heart, 8.Amazing Kiss)and they were wonderful! So I checked around with some of my firends to see if any of them had this cd. I was lucky and one of my friends had the cd so I was able to burn it instead of paying 45$. This is a great cd and despite the costs, I would have bought this cd anyways if one of my friends hadn't burned it for me."
