  We report the first measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry and the
ratios of Wilson coefficients A_9/A_7 and A_10/A_7 in B to K*l+l-, obtained
using 386M BBbar pairs that were collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the
Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+ e- collider. We also summarise
the results obtained by Belle in searches for purely leptonic B decays, with
emphasis on their impact on models of physics beyond the Standard Model.
