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 Kazukiro 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 experienced commercial success upon its release. It became BoA's second consecutive number-one album on the Japanese Oricon Albums Chart, debuting at the top spot with first week sales of 615,218 copies. In its 59-week chart run, Valenti sold over 1,200,000 copies and became the fifth best-selling album of 2003. It became her second album to be certified million by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ). Combined with the sales of its three singles, Valenti sold over 1,700,000 copies during the year.

BoA promoted the album with three singles that were released the previous year: the title track "Valenti", double A-side "Kiseki / No. 1" and double A-side "Jewel Song / Beside You (Boku o Yobu Koe)". All three releases reached number one on the Oricon Singles Chart, and received gold certifications in physical sales by the RIAJ.
