From what I hear, despite not appearing on TV, in Japanese CD stores, they're promoting alan like crazy, there's special racks and posters, and they have her music videos on and stuff.

pommy48 21st August 2008 03:22 AM

oh how do you know? do you have pictures?

GRACE 21st August 2008 03:26 AM

^I don't got pictures, but I remember reading that there was some sort of instore promo big time over on alan world.

KarenPang 21st August 2008 03:30 AM

well at least despite the lack of TV shows promos , avex somehow make up for it with this

GRACE 21st August 2008 03:31 AM

If everything I'm hearing about this Red Cliff movie is true, then it's tie-in may very well thrust alan into the big leagues and high on the charts

pommy48 21st August 2008 03:34 AM

what have you been hearing about Red Cliff?

GRACE 21st August 2008 03:38 AM

^I've heard it was a real big box-office success. If it does really well in the box office, a lot of people will hear Kokoro Ikuza. And out of the people who hear it, I'm sure there'll be loads and loads of people who like it, and they'll find out who the singer is, buy the single, and then love the artist!

pommy48 21st August 2008 03:41 AM

oh yeah it was~ i think, though my dad wouldn't let me see it >_<....:bawl, i wanted to hear heart war in hi def in the theaters!

and the movies already out online with subtitles, and i hope people who watched the movie would remember "alan" as the person who sang it!...

Well there is that, but I guess we have to remember that sometimes even promotion doesn't do the trick (take Ayu's GUILTY for example -___-). If the people don't like it, then they're not gonna buy it.

GRACE 21st August 2008 04:07 AM

We also have to remember that alan is a foreigner. As far as I remember, foreigners don't do as well in Japan, right? Don't let BoA fool you, it's not easy to break into a foreign market...

CHE.R.RY 21st August 2008 04:09 AM

^ Yeah that's true. It's a pretty rare occassion when a foreigner does well in Japan (which you can't completely blame them).

pommy48 21st August 2008 04:10 AM

...so do you guys think alan would be better working in china first and then move onto japan?

CHE.R.RY 21st August 2008 04:15 AM

^ Well, I don't think she should give up her career in Japan, but I wouldn't be surprised if she did a lot better in China (since it wouldn't be quite as foreign to them). Tbh though, I don't think I would have found about alan if she would've just debuted in China...I don't really listen to Cpop all that much :/...

That makes me feel sad ._.

pommy48 21st August 2008 04:18 AM

it would depend on the type of songs that chinese producers gives her...if she did start out in china first...well i know that most cpop artists go to taiwan~...well not really, but most! cpop artists are from taiwan, there's avex taiwan~ but cpop have gotten boring, cause it's all about showcasing the music, and not the voice, i'm glad avex let alan sing chinese-influenced song, and not make it all poppy

Nice new thread ^_^ Althought that promo pic for Ashita e no Sanka in the first post is kinda scary.

pommy48 21st August 2008 05:10 AM

her face...looks like a geisha with all that light (i thought it was powder at first)
so..anyone have that wallpaper?

AyUta 21st August 2008 06:00 AM

^ Which picture pommy? The first or the second? I might have it.
