Valenti is the second Japanese studio album (fourth overall) by South Korean recording artist BoA, released through Avex Trax on January 29, 2003. The album's lyrics were written by multiple contributors including Natsumi Watanabe and Kenn Kato, with composition on the album handled by a team of composers including Kazuhiro Hara, Bounceback, Kosuke Morimoto, Ken Harada, and Akira. Valenti is a pop record containing influences from R&B and dance music, and is primarily recorded in Japanese with minor phrases in English.

Valenti became a massive commercial success upon release. It became BoA's second consecutive number-one album on the Oricon Albums Chart, debuting at the top spot with first week sales of over 615,000 copies. The album managed to sell over 1.2 million copies and is her highest-selling album to date. It also became her second album to be certified million by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ). Combined with the sales of its three physical singles, Valenti sold over 1.7 million copies during the year.

BoA promoted the album with three singles that were released throughout 2002: the title track, the double A-side single "Kiseki / No. 1" and the double A-side single "Jewel Song / Beside You (Boku o Yobu Koe)." All three releases peaked within the top three of the Oricon Singles Chart and received gold certifications in physical sales by the RIAJ. BoA promoted several tracks from the album in live television appearances in 2003. She embarked on her first concert tour in support of the album titled the Valenti Live Tour, which spanned nine concerts across three cities in Japan.
