This album is a classic and a personal favorite of mine from her early Japanese works. It has many great songs from its singles to its album tracks. "Everlasting" is the most beautiful ballad in her Japanese discography, which I adore listening to on repeat at times. The album tracks "cosmic eyes" and "Love is just what you can't see" both feel like a very mature cute, and the singles "DO THE MOTION", "Dakishimeru" and "make a secret" are total bops. "First snow" is a nice bonus track. I actually really enjoy listening to it every December as part of my personal Christmas Songs Playlist. The album DVD includes the MVs for "DO THE MOTION", "make a secret", "Dakishimeru" & "Everlasting" along with a Making Off-Shot of the album. All are great to watch, though if you don't speak Japanese you might not understand everything being said in the Making part as there's no subtitles included.
Outgrow [A Type / w/ DVD, first pressing only limited release] Customer Reviews
BoA
A great collection including several of her singles, and some new songs which are really unique and different to her previous songs. It was really nice to see BoA take on new styles and, of course, excel in them. The title track is a very ambitious song, and while she pulls it off I'm not so keen on the song itself. Silent Screamerz is very catchy and I think it suits her voice very well. I think the song 'Love is just what you can't see' was really different and I loved it, especially the refrains, and BoA had a hand in writing it, too. First Snow was a beautiful track as well, again with lyrics penned by BoA. The only thing that could make it better would be taking a few of the B-sides off and putting a few new songs on it but regardless, it's another successful album from BoA. The music videos are great as well, showing her more mature side. Great dancing as always. A must-buy for all BoA fans. :)
This is the second album I own from BoA. I got MiT first then purchased OUTGROW and I have to say I like this album a little better. MiT had more...modern-ish songs. But OUTGROW had songs with a great dance beat and a certain vibe that made you want to move. The DVD with the PVs for Dakishimeru, Do the Motion, and Make a Secret was nice. I enjoyed watching all 3 and would definatly recomend this for anyone who liked BoA.
this album really shows BoA outgrowing her childish image into a sexy, beautiful young woman. Not the best album, but still good. Most songs were written or co-written by BoA herself!!! Dakishimeru will grow on u if u don't like it already! =P
What's obvious right away from this album is that BoA has grown as an artist and Avex has supported her, allowing her to make more mature, better songs. I find this album to be superior to her previous efforts. It has a nice mix of ballads and upbeat, danceable tunes. Also, the arrangements are more complex and, technically, everything is near perfect, making the whole album quite enjoyable. The music videos are fairly typical. Although, Do The Motion stands out above the others, partially because it's the best song on the album and partially because the visuals are perfectly paced with the music of the song. It's quite classy and sophisticated, too, which is very refreshing. This video alone is justification for buying the limited edition over the regular edition. A few songs (including the title track) lack an interesting melody, hence the 4 instead of 5-star rating. But, overall, a very strong entry from BoA. A must-have for BoA fans and a good addition to any J-Pop collection.
I like more her old style, if I must say the truth, but I think that this album is not totally bad, it's simply not eccelent like ''Valenti'' or ''Love & Honesty''.
Disco muy recomendado. Se nota una evolucion en la musica de BoA. Excelentes canciones. No se lo pueden perder. Por supuesto, lo encuentras en ICHIBAN.
BoA has done a good job in this album and it's better than before but don't expect something new or out of the ordinary from BoA.
In this album, you can hear the many different styles of music she experimented in. From Do the Motion to Outgrow Silent Screamerz is a very good upbeat song. Do the motion well do i need to say more? It's an awesome and addictive song. Very classy xD Kimi no tonari de is a pretty nice ballad, it does get a bit boring and long though. Outgrow is an awesome upbeat song. Although it's a you either love it or hate it song Make a Secret. I LOVE THIS SONG though their are many out there who hate it The chorus is to repetitive though. Everlasting! Need I say more?This is the best song on the album lol. Sung very emotionally and beautifully. Penned by BoA Long Time No See. you can just skip this song The bubble popping is really annoying Cosmic Eyes. uhm its got a bit of a cutesy taste but its a good song. Dakishimeru. Very upbeat. I love this song It's a fun song to dance to Love is just what you can't see. Its a pretty nice somewhat faster then a ballad song. Stay My gold. Awesome ballad despite the fobby engrish Soundscape. four words You Will Love It. With you. Its a very happy like song. First Snow. Not her greatest Ballad but its still up there.
Very sentimental album, a rather different style from the usual dancy hip hop style from her previous albums.. worth collecting!
my favorite song on here is also the title of the album, OUTGROW - Ready butterfly. it also has a nice ballad, Everlasting. and a very good dance song, Dakishimeru. some of the songs i dont like, Kimi no Tonari de, which is why i gave it a 4. but the other songs make up for that.
this album is so dancing and at same time with good ballads ..i loved of almost the songs ^^ its a realy good album ^^
this is the best album BoA had released!! BoA has move into different kind of music ...and it turn out to be so wonderful!! i enjoy listening to her song in this album!!!
