"Everlasting" is a song by South Korean recording artist BoA. It was released as her 18th Japanese single under Avex Trax on January 18, 2006, and her 4th physical Korean single under SM Entertainment a week later on January 25, 2006.[1] The leading track "Everlasting" is a ballad, and the B-side track of the Japanese release, "Soundscape", is a mid-tempo song. "People Say..." serves as the B-side track for the South Korean release. The single also contains a "classical version" (orchestral composition remake) of "Everlasting".
"Everlasting" was used as the network advertisement for the online Japanese music giant, music.jp; it was also used as the ending theme for the TV Asahi drama The Door of Miracles: The Power of TV. In addition, "Everlasting" was used as the theme song for the Japanese dubbing of the movie Oliver Twist, directed by Roman Polanski.[2] [3]
This music video consists of many scenes. The first scene shown is of BoA in a dark room with a flower and many photographs scattered throughout the floor of the room. Also there are three windows to the room. Through each of windows, BoA is there, one with a big black hat with a white dress, another with a flower in her hair and the atmosphere like autumn and the last is BoA sitting upon a bell tower dressed in completely black. The music video takes turns between all the scenes and BoA is shown singing throughout all of them.
