The True Queen of K-Pop, BoA is basically the Korean Britney Spears. She is incredibly talented, and I really don’t think that Westerners know enough about her. She can speak multiple languages, sings incredibly, and dances impressively. That is why today’s album is BoA 2nd Mini-Album Starry Night.
I do also post reactions over on my YouTube Channel. I have also posted one for BoA Woman, which you can watch below:
Since this post is actually an unboxing of the album, let’s actually talk about that. I picked up my copy of this album Music Plaza LA. You can get a copy here for $17.99, plus shipping. Additionally, if you have never used Music Plaza before, this link will get you an extra 5% off of your first purchase!
You can also order a copy of the album from an eBay, as they typically have good prices. This link will get you a copy for about 24, plus free shipping. Plus, with eBay, you can save a little bit of money by using the Rakuten extension on your browser, as it will save you 2% on all album purchases, which definitely adds up.
What is Rakuten?
Rakuten is a cashback site that gives you money for purchases you may have already made. They even have an extension for multiple browsers so when you go to a website that uses Rakuten, it will automatically pop up the cashback button to make sure you are saving money. I use this all the time, and I got over 80$ back from them for purchases I was going to make anyway. That’s about 3 more albums I can buy!
If you’ve never used Rakuten before, you can use this link to get $10 when making a qualified purchase of $25 when using Rakuten. You will also get whatever percent cashback is being offered from the site you are purchasing from. Sephora, typically has 4% cashback, through here. Ulta typically has 3%. These are just some of the companies on the website, but there are other major retailers are on there as well!
Can I get it on Amazon?
Yes! You can pick up a copy using this link for about 25 dollars (not as good of a deal), with free shipping if you have Amazon Prime.
If you don’t have Amazon Prime, you can get a 30-day free trial using this link here. I will not lie, the free 2-day shipping, plus all of the free music and videos are totally worth it. I also now use it for books for my Kindle Paper White too, and it is honestly a lifesaver. They have a program called Kindle Unlimited where you can check out 10 books at a time, read them, and put them back in the Kindle library. The program costs $7.99 a month, and you get the first 30 days for free with this link.

K-Points: 267/5
Quite frankly, you can never go wrong with BoA. She is an amazing singer, performer, and dancer. She also looks beautiful in all of the photos. On top of that, she has never produced a bad song. This album, although short is full of good songs of which I’m a fan.
So should you get yourself a copy of this album? I definitely think it is worth it. BoA writes some quality music and has a beautiful voice. Should you stream it? Absolutely. I know that the amount that this album cost is not an amount that you may be willing to spend. Streaming is a far more affordable option.
Don’t you think BoA deserves more appreciation in the US, K-Nuggets? Let me know in the comments below!
사랑합니다!
