Since the UK band has already released several albums under the name, I wonder if they're going to have copyright/name issues releasing over here.

I want more UK Boa too. But then again, half the band seems to be missing now.

Just because they did an anime op in 1998 (or was it 1999?) doesn't mean there albums would get a mention here..

Anyway I don't like Eat You Up a whole lot and I Did It For Love is ok but some of the other previews sound interesting. Like Touched and Obssesed.

Same could be said about the Asian singer Boa. Just because she did an anime opening or ending here and there doesn't mean her albums will get a mention here. Hikaru Utada has had CDs released here in the US before, and I think all she got here was a cd review.

UK Boa is signed up with Pioneer/Geneon's music label more than likely because of their success with Lain and how they sold here because of it, and have played at anime conventions. They're a part of anime culture in a way. Us fans can be hopeful.

The capitalization in the press release title should probably be fixed to help prevent any confusion.

(not that it will really help)

They just have to make sure that this doesn't become an "Utada" where Utada Hikaru really didn't make an impact in the US.

I hate it when they process their voice like that...
