ah i have 4 performances for xin zhan, they're in ts format and i haven't gotten around to converting them, i'll probably do them this week! :D

oh wow pomegranate...where did you get them from?

I actually prefer ts files most of the time...

since no one ever uploads HD files lol

I've just watched her liveat MF on 11/04/09. It's really better than MJ's one!

Happy @ 3! great performance!

Wow, it's great Red Cliff won for best music, it really deserved it! I was so emotional at some parts because the music was so gorgeous.

2nd week
*9　**7,268　alan

total sales so far : 19,224
officially outsold RED CLIFF

3rd week
1st day : #12

She outsold everything she released. That's kinda sad but good.

cloud_honey uploaded the Kuon no Kawa (End Roll version) via http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=89108

^I downloaded it from KMC earlier. I prefer the original version. It's the wailing it makes the song sound better.

I liked the original too, but it was REALLY nice to hear Kuon in the original key <3 I still loved it <3

from alan forums~ ok well i haven't downloaded them yet, so i'll upload them when i have time!!! pretty good that alan don't have full performances XD or else the file size would just be >_>

i really like knk end roll!
the chinese version sounds the same as the normal to me -,-
idk why she always saves her wails for japanese songs 0.o

The End Roll Version is really pretty!
I really like alan's voice there and this version is just great.
I like it.

I 2nd that

I don't think the physical single pertaining to the End roll version of Kuon no Kawa's available for sale at all ? :shrug

What's the End roll version about?

I think it means that it was played at the end of the RED CLIFF 2 movie ?

as such there're some minor twirks as compared to the single version

Oh like it being in the original key or something? I suppose I'll download and give a listen then~

I think it's something like that lah Jun Xiang even though I could be wrong :laugh

the End roll version of Kuon no Kawa doesn't have alan's yodelling in the background though

omg ! i just heard the endroll version of KnK i was expecting an orchestral instrumental track or something.

but i was so suprised to hear a resung version of the song ! its so great that she sung it in a more free flowing melodic tone.

its still a bit higher than the mandarian version but the end part of the song was amazing with the opera-ness, i cant believe the awesomeness that is alan XD

oii XD lol more songs for me to tag....ah is cloud's the right tag? if i just switch the pinyin out with the chinese characters?

edit: ok never mind!

oo soundtrack of RED CLIFF~ i didn't know there was an end roll version of shin sen @_@

edit: oh also mcken, i saw one of your post on SF, but you didn't state what your ID on alan-fans is~ it's better to try and type in chinese if you can~ the mod there might think you're spamming

thats a good point actually pommy but is there much stuff on SF i couldnt find much ?
and the endroll on shin sen is that resung like KnK endroll ?

^I don't think so, I think that it's the same vocals, but it's missing the wailing and it has the elongated instrumental part at the end

Sadly, Kuon no Kawa's top-10-ride is over... It fell 12>44>33 on the daily chart

yeah but at least Kuon no Kawa had a joy ride in the top end of the chart

Shows alan can do well when given the opprotunity.

OMG I was screaming away at the TV when I was watching MTV China's weekly top 5 J Chart

Gunjou no Tani gate crashed straight to the top , knocking ayumi's Sparkle from the #1 stop :thud

alan's the only new entry this week somemore , go her :D

I'll be watching it again later on at night :cool

1) alan - Gunjou no Tani
2) Koda Kumi x misono - It's all Love !
3) Yano Kenta starring ARASHI's Ohno Satoshi - Kumori Nochi , Kaisei
4) Mai Kuraki - PUZZLE
5) ayumi hamasaki - Sparkle

i'm so proud of her :D

weekend is not coming yet, maybe there will be some miracle again, that will bounce her single position to top 10

me too

it was great watching Gunjou no Tani once again earlier on when it was played on MTV China for the 2nd time , well before it ends cos I was watching Ben 10 Alien Force :laugh

I think I'm late what about info but the End roll version of kuon no kawa is good. However I prefer the original one.


And What's news? XD

OMG!!! GOOO ALAN!!!!!!!!! WOOOOO!!!!! :luv2
I would be screaming too! :yes
gambatte alan~<3

YAY!!! alan will be singing KnK on music station!

:D :D :D :D

I was hoping for Gunjou no Tani but this will do

I really hope she'll do a nice performance for MS!

i keep hearing this MS performance but has it been done? lol

huh what talk you

it will be the 1st time that she will be performing on MUSIC STATION

^I think they were asking if it aired yet. And if that was the question the answer is no it hasn't.

oh

if that's the case then no , she wouldn't be performing til next Fri aka Labour Day here in S'pore

Oh, if anyone is interested....Marty Friedman (Guitarist of the now defunct heavy-metal band Megadeth) is covering "Ashita e no Sanka"

Someone dared to cover ashita e no sanka????

It wouldn't had to be good! I mean alan's voice is unique!!!It's hard to sing this song!!

true & with that I don't plan to hear it

the original sung by alan will be very hard to top it should a person cover it

Me too. I don't want to break my eardrums with someone who try to sing alan's song!

:yes

that & also the thought of someone butchering Ashita e no Sanka is just :no

:laugh I agree it's why I never try to sing her songs even under the shower XD

Marty Friedman's cover album "Tokyo Jukebox" (2009.05.20)

Marty Friedman was a famous American guitarist originally from the heavy metal band Megadeth and now resides in Japan. This track list is supposed to include Japan's favorites as voted on a magazine, as well as Marty's personal favorites.


01. Tsume Tsume Tsume / MAXIMUN THE HORMONE
02. GIFT / Mr.Children
03. Amagi-goe / Sayuri Ishikawa
04. Story / AI
05. Polyrhythm / Perfume
06. Kaeritakunatta yo / Ikimono-gakari
07. TSUNAMI / Southern All Stars
08. Yuki no Hana / Mika Nakashima
09. Eki / Mariya Takeuchi
10. Sekai ni Hitotsu Dake no Hana / SMAP
11. Romance no Kimisama / Kohmi Hirose
12. Ashita e no Sanka / alan

Here's the tracklist

IMO, It's not hard to sing "Ashite e no Sanka" if you're going an octave below alan's singing...still I doubt he's singing it. He's a guitarist, not a singer so I'm guessing his guitarwork is doing the song with alan singing behind it...

Ooh, I like that idea! I hope he is just doing the music! Rock version of Ashita <3

XD heavy metal rock :roflmao

be kinda weird to hear it, but oh well!! alan is famous enough for someone to cover her :P

Sounds sexy. me likely.

you're right pommy. I think a lot of people'll cover he songs in the future. But nobody can compete with alan

lol totally!!! ah i can't wait for her performance on MS!!!! do you think she'll sing the full song @_@...>_> or like 2 minutes of it? :thud

I don't think she'll sing the full song. I never saw an artist who sing his full song at TV performance

some do~ ah i only wish she had more live performances of gunjou no tani...kuon no kawa isn't as amazing live

I don't know it's hard to say

sometimes I've seen artistes who sang the full song , part of a song , special medley & etc

lol I have but it's quite rare to find artistes doing a full song on MUSIC STATION cos of the no. of artistes that appear on the show weekly & screen/performance time's at stake in a way

I have seen KAT-TUN performing LIPS in full , er I mean the 1st time that they did it on the show though

but other than that zlich

Is it for a MS special or a random MS ??

i think it's just a regular show, for specials, they have more artists

:yes

no mention of a MSSL this coming Fri so it will be a normal one

ok thanks for info!!!

oh cmon, not ALL her songs are hard to sing.. :innocent

Wow, I'm really interested in hearing this cover...

wow?! cover of ashita e no sanka?
it will be interesting

yes like Gunjou no Tani , Kaze no Tegami :laugh

^ Sora Uta, Sakura Modern, Natsukashii Mirai ~longing future~.

:yes

basically any of her songs that don't have her yodelling on , it's easier

imagine someone who's not able to hit the high notes @_@

Anyone have the romaji lyrics for Yume no Garden?

from jpopasia, don't know how accurate it is~

:laugh someone like me. I can imagine XD

some sad sod rated the thread 1 star :grumpy

I'm bumping it up , rating wise

aww that's rude~ but oh well, who cares about thread rating anyways

Ahhh cover for Ashita he no Sanka... it'll be good either way, being a song-cover or an arrangement cover.

I don't know if I want to hear / download the cover of Ashita e no Sanka or not -_-

Do you wit me Karen? I feel like I'll be the only person who won't listen the cover of alan's song!

same thing goes for me

I will not download it

An Ashita cover? Huh, that'll be interesting. I suppose I'll just wait until some comments on it arrive before I listen to it myself.

lol i'll definitely download it, who knows, it may be half decent, and if it isn't....well i need some laughs in my life

Thanks, pommy :shughug

no problem!!! oii just had an idea...what would your dream alan concert be? like the tracklist? or maybe just the whole concert, what she would wear, etc.

not sure.. alan doesnt rlly have enough songs to have a big setlist..
maybe she would sing every single song she has released including B-sides :D

I guess she could be touring or at least helding a one night only by late 2009... She has enough songs to put on a show

I feel less alone in the world XD

:roflmao

it's a matter of choice

Dammit! I knew I should have never come into this thread...I knew it would be poison...but theres so much talk about alan all the time....I just had to youtube her....too curious....heard Ashita e no Sanka....damn....im hooked. x_x Guess I'll be pushing myself to get her album now...I love it when she does that really screechy sound...its not annoying at all actually....just really haunting....

:laugh

Bryan , it's never too late to get to know her music :yes

Songs that have grown onto me and now love a lot
Hitotsu
Natsukshii Marai ~longing future~
Gunjou no Tani
BRAVE

Songs that I used to love, lost interest in
Ashita e no sanka

Songs that I can't get into
Everything else

I know, late post. But I now can post my song opinions on alan x_X

LOL alan covered Tong Hua! At school, we have this singing thing every holiday season where we have to sing songs....Im in spanish so we sing Feliz Navidad...but the Mandrin class sang Tong Hua! BTW alan's version>Mandrin classes LMAO! I speak Mandrin so its pretty funny listening to them xD

:roflmao

she DID cover tong hua??

Oh uh....alan's version is part of this album:

http://rapidshare.com/files/18727396...8___12290_.rar

Tong Hua Original:

She did a cover of TONG HUA!! I love his songs.
Thanks for link^^

thanks for the links and stuff! :D

guys, don't know if you've noticed, but alan's back to Top 30! :D

:yes
Another rise in the daily chart...
This week: 12>44>33>32>24>20>12!

she's having incredible weekend sales with Kuon no Kawa

She bounced back well considering all the new releases

and her MS performance is coming up...i believe it can help the sales too...

wow its great to see KnK rise again ! btw does anyone know when KnK Musicstation live is ?

hopefully so

this coming Fri ie. Labour Day in S'pore & the offical start of the Golden Week in Japan

ah glad to see that KnK is doing pretty steady on the charts!

so is it official that Kuon no Kawa's her best selling material offering that she has released to date now ? :shrug

haha probably

it's weird @_@ cause i don't even find KnK that amazing of a single XD but i guess japanese people love it

also just to say, for GRSE's MV, about 44% of people that watched are 44-54, i have like 18,000 views for that video, so it's rather very popular in japan
