With 2011 being the 10th year since her debut in Japan, BoA celebrated her 25th birthday on 5 December together with her fanclub members at the “SOUL MEMBER MEETING VOL.5～BoA 10th Anniversary & BirthdayParty～” event held at the Shinagawa Stellar Ball. Her first fanclub event in 3 years saw about 3,000 people attending this event.

Following that, artists that were BoA’s juniors and friends sent her video messages as well. In the first performance, videos from Crystal Kay, Daichi Muira, SHINee and Shoujo Jidai were shown, but (BoA said) “But, Toho-chan weren’t in there,” showing her anticipation towards seeing a message from her juniors Tohoshinki. As emcee Takeuchi Ayako explained that the two members of Tohoshinki were busy and did not give a (video) comment, she said “Really?” with a regretful expression.

Then, there was another video message. The video that was played was made by the “so busy it was impossible” pair from Tohoshinki. The crowd was in an uproar with this video comment from Tohoshinki which, as expected, was recorded.
While watching the video comment from long time friends Tohoshinki, the two people on stage poked fun at each of the statements made. (Takeuchi choreographed not only for BoA but for Tohoshinki as well) This mood was like that of people sitting in the living room, watching television and making comments, and the pair’s accurate jibes caused endless laughter among the fans present.
After the comment, Yunho said “When we have time, let’s go out for a meal, or go bowling together,” extending an invitation to BoA. BoA said, “Yunho always asks, “BoA-chan, let’s go bowling” and I say Okay, Let’s go and he says “But from tomorrow onwards I’ll be in Japan” so till now, we haven’t even gone bowling once. And with Yunho, aside from work-related lunches, we haven’t actually gone out for meals together. (Laughs) But when we do meet, we get along really well.” Also, she said that in the earlier “SMTOWN LIVE” held in New York, Yunho turned up at her dressing room and sat down randomly, chatted with her for about 30 minutes before leaving. Following that, Takeuchi and BoA took turns commenting that Yunho “talks for a long time, doesn’t he.”"He keeps repeating himself, right” “But he’s a good guy, isn’t he,” then added “But Changmin keeps this (issue) in check, and that’s Tohoshinki” in conclusion. (which of course, led to great laughter from the audience)
But at the same time, on her juniors Tohoshinki, BoA said “They’re more like friends than juniors. Tohoshinki was one of the first artists to debut in Japan and worked hard from there, and we can say “There’s that,” “Something like that happened as well,” talking about the joys and pains of doing Japanese activities, and since we’re the same age, we have a great relationship,” as she talked about the bond that exists between those who have come to Japan, which is currently enraptured by the K-pop culture.
