On November 5th, BoA held a fan club event called �SOUL MEMBER MEETING VOL.5 ~BoA 10th Anniversary & Birthday Party� at the Shinagawa Stella Ball. Approximately 3,000 fans flocked to the event, which was comprised of two parts.

BoA received video messages from her labelmates in Korea -- Tohoshinki, Shoujo Jidai, and SHINee -- who all sent warm wishes to their senior. Tohoshinki expressed regret in their video, as they said, �BoA-Senpai, congratulations on your 10th anniversary since your Japanese debut. We actually wanted to meet you in person.�

Meanwhile, Shoujo Jidai left an aspiring message with, �We would love to become artists who give passion through music like BoA-senpai.� As for SHINee, they praised BoA's long and successful career. �Ten years as an artist is an incredible feat and we respect that you have been active as a solo artist since 15 years old. Please look after us from now on as well.�

BoA's peers and close friends, Crystal Kay and Miura Daichi, also left birthday wishes for BoA.

�Ten years went by so quickly and it wasn't very long,� said BoA as she looked back on her career. �I�d rather be busy with work than have spare time --� I want to work hard while I'm still young (laughter)."

She continued, I didn't have many activities in Japan this year so I will do my best next year.�

In addition to her talk sessions, BoA also shared footage from her upcoming �Milestone� DVD, as well as from her 2009 American debut. She performed ""Milestone" and "I SEE ME", and then concluded the event by thanking the crowd for celebrating this momentous occasion with her.

Furthermore, this day was also her birthday and celebrated this occasion with the fans. She then said, �I feel special as I get to celebrate my birthday like this with the fans. Thanks everyone!� She then performed her new song �Milestone� and �I SEE ME� and marked the end of this event.

BoA will now focus on her next event, �BoA THE LIVE 2011 �X�mas�, which will be held on December 10th and 11th at National Forum in Tokyo.
