Upon her return to Japan, BoA had a live event at Marucube inside Maru Building in Tokyo, Japan. This event was sponsored by audio technica and during this event, BoA wore headphones of this company and also used a customized microphone for her (the AEW-T6100). BoA announced that she'll be appearing in the new audio technica CM which will feature Meri Kuri ~New Best Album Version~ as the theme song.

Regarding the shooting of the CM BoA said "I was having so much fun playing with my dog during the rest times that I didnt realise the shooting had concluded".

As a Christmas Present for her fans, BoA performed the song featured in the CM with the help of her partner (the customized AEW-T6100 microphone) and a live band (piano & strings).

Meri Kuri ~New Best Album Version~ will be available as a chaku uta (phone ringtone) starting tomorrow. This note mentions the CM will be aired on November 22nd contrary to the SOUL announcement which mentioned Novemeber 21st.

Due to the tight schedule BoA currently has, she is expected to spend Xmas in the recording studio in the United States. She also mentioned that she spent her 22nd Birthday in United States with her staff. "They really want me to study (laugh)" was the comment BoA made due to the fact she got many English phrase books as presents. 2 New albums are expected to be released during the beginning of spring: 1 Best Songs album in Japan and the Debut album in the United States.
