haha me too...i was gonna cry if it didn't come back~ anyways, alan's latest blog entry is so cute @_@...roleplaying as a fan and herself :roflmao

I don't think my translation any better than Google's, though, LOL. But basically it has to do with CD DATA's magazine's website, and there will be a video on there.

oh so alan will just be speaking in a video?...

*.* Alan is so cute and funny on those video.

yeah, i think they even announced ayu in CDTVxSacas in early 2008, i remember seeing them directly before ayus mirrorcle world performance

EDIT: Connected Initiate^^

the blue man group is coming to taiwan too~

oo congrats if you like the song...if not..then at least you moved up an initiate

ah...so anyways....everyone...what's your fave alan song?

mine is gunjou no tani xD

gunjou no tani is my favourite as well lol (I absolutely love ayus connected by the way, pity she only performed it once)

Second to best song is probably RED CLIFF to me^^

yeah...<3 i love connected <3

second to me would be ashita e no sanka~...i still love the wailing XD

ashita he no sanka is amazing as well^^

<3 it is...but i find it and red cliff to be her make or break songs during live performance...either you sing it perfectly or you don't @_@

i only watched a few performances of the songs, but she performed both songs perfectly except a little mistake in the LONG wail in red cliff, alan is too good to sing the songs NOT perfectly xD

she sometimes sound a bit awkward in red cliff as she's climbing in her wails~

^ but thats mostly because they shortened the instrumental so she cant have a proper breath, if she sung the whole version it wouldnt be a problem at all

yeah...i wish they didn't shorten it *o* i would love to hear it full~ hope she'll sing at her concert <3

i bet we will hear most of her singles, some album tracks and 1 or 2 b-sides, her singles are what the people know after all

hmm i hope she would perform BRAVE <3 think it'll be great...but for a concert opener..hmm...

I finally got Voice of EARTH! I'm so happy right now! Its Taiwan version....I didnt expect the long OBI. Uh...but....the mailman just had to rain on my parade....got my report card the same time as Voice of EARTH :(

My dream come true :love

^ you make me jealous, really jealous lol

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k1...a/DSCN0071.jpg

This is my alan collection <3 I wish I could'a gotten the cover album

^!!!! Gunjou no Tani and Kuon no Kawa :cry :cry

I bought Kuon no Kawa from Tower Records. One of my favorite songs from her. =D! There was also this special edition of Voice of Earth where they had the rock version of Ashita e no Sanka. I didn't buy that though.

rock version of ashita e no sanka? i thought tower records gave out the rock version of red cliff? @_@

lol GRACE....heartstation post pics of 1 album....and you post pictures of your collection...

i think all taiwan OBIs are all that long >_>...i always fold and stuff in the album XD

wow i just gave her album a listen and she's awesome!! now I know what all the hype is about alan~ XD *joined the bandwagon*

lol nice to know that you have joined the alan music bandwagon :thumbsup

<3 this bandwagon is more like a bandlimo :roflmao so many more AHSers liking alan <3

alan have been composing and recording lately...oh for her chinese album? or more singles *o*

Hopefully both :D.

Either way it means... new songs :D!!

And wait... she's composing!? Like with Together!?

well she's composing music...

aww MJ was an idol to alan too...

^Wow...his influence reached everyone, every nation and every style...even though I wasnt a fan....Its kinda sad to see a legend go...he inspired the careers of so many...to think we might not have BoA, Hikki, or now alan if it wasnt for Michael Jackson :no

yeah, alan's first album released by someone overseas is michael
i just translated it
http://pom-for-life.blogspot.com/200...this-real.html

wow! that is a really nice collection ^^

I only buy CD+DVD versions :D I'm not that rich to get all the CD only as well lol

I have to buy ayu's singles, dvds, and all that too :(

^Thanks for the translations....she actually knows her stuff! All the MJ world records and stuff...yay for the award...she deserves more than just one though for her current work...oh well...Im DYING to hear new work from her...Chinese, Japanese, w/e.

Woops. Yeah, I meant Red Cliff must've been because I read Ashita e no Sanka in this thread somewhere and it got stuck in my memory.

^ ah i see :D, so you had to pay extra if you wanted to get that rock version?

lol i think that alan owns a copy of the 2006 Guinness World Record book XD

i really wish she would tell us just what award it is....even her staff got it @_@....most well-mannered artist+staff in avex? :roflmao

just got online and a page was filled in this thread! xD
anyways. my fave alan song is tsuki ga watashi ^ _ ^
and i heard about the micheal jackson charity thing from kevjumba right b4 i checked the blog translations o_O

i love tsuki ga watashi and yume no garden, there's just a certain air about those songs~

that's true

it helps that alan cowrote Yume no Garden too which's nice :heart

alan should just write everything XD

lol

slower but surely Jasmine

because from what she has either cowrote & composed ie. Yume no Garden & Together , they're great

yeah. i love how she composes the music too <3

it's just like her <3 so peaceful and beautiful!!

oh my ****ing god! thats a really big collection, there no japanese release missing, is it?

XD GRACE brought all of her japanese releases....crazy but i'm so jealous :roflmao

lol Jasmine , GRACE is a guy & not a girl & yes he bought everything of alan that's Japan press which's :dead2 & daunting

^ Pommy never wrote that GRACE is female in her post. xD Or am I just overreading something again? lol

no you're not

GRACE is really a girl on here (even though by right the name's a girl)

you see - http://ahsforum.com/forum/member.php?u=15450

i'm sorry karen, but i think you're the one that overread what i wrote~

i know that GRACE is a guy, his username at alan world is Chris-kun <3 i call him chris-kun here too

i said that GRACE brought all of her releases, the her was referring to alan

yeah xD i didnt overread something after all^^

and congratulations pommy for being disco-munication initiate, not many initiates left for you!

Ive been a bit lazy reading the past few pages, but theres nothing new except chinese album/concert in december, right?

yep :D

omg XD i never notice when i turn..it's sad...after curtain call, i won't turn...i wish ayu would release faster lol

oh and that alan is composing/recording more songs, that's about it, and that she won an award...but idk what the award is for

yeah,ive read your blog translations^^

and ayu should really release faster xD KarenPang already has curtain call for quite a time, doesnt she? xD

ah ok :D i didn't know, but i'll update the first post, so it'll be easier to check, and it's easy to get lost in these threads @_@

haha yeah, and when the mods updated the initiates, some people just skipped the entire NEXT LEVEL album @_@

good idea, having all the important information updated in the first post is always good

and i got quite....WTF because i never saw someone having LOVE 'n' HATE or something, only curtain call xD
well, in my current posting speed(~300 posts/month) i need at least 2 1/2 more years to get to NEXT LEVEL, so its no problem to me xD shell have 2 more albums and a few singles out by then(I hope...)

lol :D well soon, i guess i'll have love 'n' hate~ ;)
that's a good speed :yes

yeah, though i'm glad the alan threads aren't like the kuu threads, they move too fast @_@

^ I need even more lmao XD I really want Moments Initiate T___T

I am in looove with Kaze no Tegami & Natsukashii Mirai <3 I'm so happy I listened to her, I've actually been looking for oriental sounding songs with such pretty lyrics

When is her new single going to be out ?

^ yeah that's what drew me to alan, because of those oriental sounds that i never hear elsewhere

the single is currently still postponed :thud

^ aw .__. thanks for the info

& her wails are so cute lool had to first get used to them though but I love them now!

+ she is sooo beautiful!! I love her covers @_@ must.. make.. set..

yeah no problem, i try to keep the first post as updated as i can~

<3 they're so beautiful! i'm glad that some people get used to them <3<3 it's like her signature wail XD

^ haha yup and it takes talent to do! If I ever tried to do that.. I think my house would crumble down .__.

lol i know the feeling XD i'm always afraid to play ashita e no sanka on 100% volume...even on my laptop >_>

^ lol, yeah, same with me, but i never play anything NEAR 100% anyway xD

I want her to release the next japanese single already, it was announced before the chinese album was, so it should be recorded and released before, but shes recording for the chinese album ATM isnt she?

lol me too~ somewhere in the avex offices, there's a copy of the single already sitting there...just waiting for someone to buy it >_>....hurry up, avex!

i think so, but i would think maybe she would record in china...

^ that might even be possible, maybe they are waiting for her to finish recording the chinese album, then release the *** single, promote it, release the chinese album, promote it, rehearse for the concert, make the concert, new japanese/chinese single

@_@...oii...avex is turning all of their artists into workaholics

well alan said she have rehearsal....maybe dancing in the PV or for the concert?

concert rehearsals NOW already? no...maybe for CMs or a dance! or her next pv might have a story with acting, its possible as well. or shes talking about vocal lessons...you can rehearse so many things xD

nah, she's releasing a japanese single~

^ her next album is chinese, the next single is japanese(confusing, i know!)

EDIT: I forgot refreshing the page, so I responded 11 minutes late LOL overread 3 posts^^

Does she write her own lyrics and stuff? They're so good!

^ She wrote one song and cowrote another one, I dont know how many lyrics she wrote, but they were mostly written by other people I think. But shes still able to put so much emotion in it, most people cant do that with lyrics they havent written themselves, most people cant do that at all.

^ Ahh I see thanks! That's true :yes I thought she'd have written them herself! They seem very personal & emotional :luv2

^ Yes, I was amazed when I noticed she does NOT write them! I never saw another artist capable of doing that.

it seems like she's getting new fans every day :) that's great

^ Yeah^^ I hope she stays at this popularity/is NOT behind her peak already, too many artists have their peak way too early

^Nah I think she's got time before her peak! Looks like Kuon no Kawa did way better than the ones it proceeded and hopefully this new one will do better than that!

lets just hope alan's music will get better and better! :love

Agreed, artists like her can take years to peak,
And since her sales still well... suck (Cuz Kuon no Kawa was WAYY better than 35K+)
It'll take some time for her to come into her own.

well then Jasmine I apologise for overlooking on what you have wrote in the previous posts then :yes

i dont quite remember seeing this..

^Its been on pommy's Youtube channel for quite sometime....it was such an amazing performance! And she made it seem so easy ><

^ooooh, me & my slowness @_@

oo ayuta <3 you don't have to look through all the pages, just check the first post, all updated with alan news goodness <3

haha karen it's ok!!! pronouns are grr @_@ :P

yeah i have that uploaded, i even posted it in the last thread....but then i posted like 3 other videos, so some people probably didn't see it~

What is the name of the first song she sings? And I just realized how long Natsukashii Mirai ~longing future~ was.

^that first song was a shortened version of shiawase no kane

haha only a few weeks ago did i notice that natsukashii mirai translated would be longing future, i never paid a lot of attention to that song, but now i love it

i just wish the PV wasn't so gray @_@

Oh, I never heard that song before.

^ it was released as a digital single to help the sichuan earthquake victims

she also have a chinese version of the song called 愛就是手

i have it listed in the first post ~

it's a digital single , Mishelle

alan sang it in both Japanese & Chinese

the Chinese title's Ai Jiu Shi Shou (愛就是手; Love Is Our Hands)

ack , Jasmine beat it to it :laugh

^I can't read Chinese. And I'm too lazy to click the "first" thingy.


Ah, NVM. Karen romanized it for me. Thankies.

i love shiawase no kane <3 though i'm glad it wasn't on VoE, having natsukashii was good enough~

probably these 2 songs, she will always sing at charity events @_@

lol it's not Romanji this time round Mishelle

but rather it's in hanyu pinyin format but oh whatever it kinda means the same thing :laugh

true :yes

:D i'm hoping that alan will be like ayu during I am...maybe she have a talent in composing, and now with her japanese getting better, think we can expect more lyrics from her?
