Asia Pop Sensation, Rain, and Star of Asia Boa will kick off their battle of the stars in Japan.

Rain and Boa will both release their Japanese single on the 9th August, hence marking the battle of position on the Oricon Chart.

This is the Rain's third single after he released "Sad Tango" on 25th Jan and "Freeway" on the 7th of this month.

Although the single has yet to be named, the music is very suitable to the style of Japanese, making fans look forward to it even more.

Rain's first single was number 11 on the Oricon Chart on the day it was released.

His second single was placed on number 9.

Boa's new single will be her 20th single release. This song is the OST for animated movie "Over the Hedge" (Japanese Version), "Key of Heart". The movie also features her voice, earning her the honour of red carpet walk during the movie premier.

Boa held a fan-meeting on the 24th, her 5th anniversary since she made her debut in Japan. All the CDs released secured top positions on the Oricon Chart. "Key of Heart" also includes the song which is used in the commercial for her endorsed cosmetic brand. She hopes the album can take the number one position on the Oricon Chart.

From serial drama "Sangdoo, let's go to school" and the Budokan Concert, to his first Japanese single release, Rain's popularity has been shooting high within a short period of time. With the simultaneous release singles from top star Boa, the Japanese music market will be even hotter this summer because of them.

Formerly in January, Boa and Rain had released their singles, Boa's 18th single, "Atlantis Princess", and Rain's debut single, "Sad Tango", one week apart from each other.
