Wow, I am so excited for this! A new album!
EDIT: It's already out??? aaaaaaaaaaaaa |
Happy with the new album~ Alan making beautiful music as usual.
Is 'Feel For First Love' the first English song she's recorded? |
I need to listen to this ASAP.
10th anniversary, new album, and I can see Kazuhito in several songs <3 |
after first listen I didn't understand that Feel For First Love is fully in english =)
my favorite song still #10 幻夢 I also adore high notes at Time goes by the only disappointment is cover. Looks like it's from photoshoot with Leslie Kee. Why on earth it's face only. I'm sure they did many great photos, why alan chose this |
The last song on the album is the best! But the whole album is pretty nice.
|
suddenly one more track appeared on this album - 01.Into The Blue
https://y.qq.com/n/yqq/album/3301093_num.html 2017.11.26 祈年纪国风演唱会 阿兰《 宿命横着写》 http://www.bilibili.com/video/av16742616/ |
The new album is so good! I find the first part a bit weaker, but I love all the songs starting from Feel For First Love. I think 樂此不疲 (Never Be Bored with It) is my favourite, but 彼岸花開 (Blooming on the Other Side) and 美人谷 (Beauty Valley) are also amazing.
|
Is there a dl link?

|
^yeah found it, thank you! so there is actually a track missing?
|
Quote:
I added Into The Blue in the download section. Quote:
That's why I think... This album is celebrating her 10th anniversary, it's an "homage" to her first album I guess. And Leslie Kee is indeed the one who did the album's photoshoot. |
^well, now that's make sense
|
Quote:
actually, album contains 13 tracks! Full tracklist goes like this: 01 Into The Blue 02 龍女(Album Mix) 03 心花 04 Time Goes By 05 牧野往事 06 雨之泣 07 Feel for first love 08 彼岸花開 09 美人谷 10 樂此不疲 11 幻夢 12 賭注 13 做個磨人的小妖精 |
Quote:
Chinese sites like QQ and migu are listing 12 songs, just like articles about the album. You might have found a "fanmade package" if you saw this on a "less legal" site. |
It might be some special bonus track, I dont know, but it is definitely official track for an album :)
here it is, I uploaded the song 做個磨人的小妖精) for you .. surprisingly it is a hardcore dance track: http://www66.zippyshare.com/v/RWjDrGXo/file.html |

Simple but lovely MV.
I adore the cover, she looks out of this world. In the end, how many songs are in this album ? 13, 12 or 11 ? |
Quote:
01 Into The Blue 02 龍女(Album Mix) 03 心花 04 Time Goes By 05 牧野往事 06 雨之泣 07 Feel for first love 08 彼岸花開 09 美人谷 10 樂此不疲 11 幻夢 12 賭注 Every article about alan's new album states that it has 12 tracks. Sites like QQ, Cloud Music or xiami as well. The song maddy1111 posted was indeed intended in the first place to be in the new album according to some articles, but a Chinese fan declared later that it was just a song alan made "for fun". |
I really like this song made for fun )

New MV for 牧野往事 (Muye's Bygone)
|
Another beautiful MV.
Is alan under another label ? I feel there is more organization with this album. |
Quote:
This album is by far her best Chinese release in my opinion ! |
still adore Mo lan more
what's the profit of only online release of new album? |
^you actually spare a lot of costs, like printing, pressing, distributing etc.
|
Quote:
And since albums don't sell anymore in China as well, album releases from Chinese singers are scarce... Actually digital singles are the common thing now. alan said in an interview that she didn't care about profit. In C-Pop money comes from concerts, endorsements, performances at events, not from albums anyway. |
I see
|
alan's new album is on Spotify:
https://open.spotify.com/album/5n2XBeOEpHrH0WDwM2mH5e And on Amazon MP3 as well: https://www.amazon.fr/十念-阿蘭/dp/B077TLNL3V/ |
Thanks for all the information Linoa :)

New MV for 赌注 To Make A Bet
|
New single, 有你真好 It's Nice To Have You, for Chinese drama 亲爱的她们 Dear My Friends.
|
Already new single? wow
|
I'm surprised with the frequency of releases because I'm so used to the Jpop schedule these days!
The piano in the song is really beautiful. |

In that day and age ????), has a beautiful poster and comes with a game card. No pictures of the packaging at the moment. |
Hey y'all. My order of JAPAN PREMIUM BEST & MORE finally arrived, but I noticed that Wasurenaide is not included? Was that song only included in some editions/first press of the album or something? Generasia's wiki doesn't say anything about it... not that it's a big deal just curious lol
|
^What version did you get ?
|
Quote:
|
http://alan-web.jp/discography/detail.php?id=1001983
only included on the upper one....its marked as bonus track, but I don't really see the difference. Give the price, I assume one was limited? I checked generasia again:AVCD-38232~3/B (Limited Edition 2CD+DVD) is the only version it is included - I assume you got AVCD-38234~5/B (Regular Edition 2CD+DVD) |
New Tibetan single released today called 吉祥三聚 Lucky Trinity.
|
I love it, it's very beautiful.
Looking around, I am seeing she is releasing a Tibetan album? EDIT: I keep checking the JP and US itunes store, but it's not available for purchase. Bummer, hope it becomes more accessible. |

New single released today for animation movie 风语咒 The Wind Guardians (release in Chinese theaters on August 3rd). It's called 离兮 Leaving.
EDIT: MV |
Another beautiful song from her!
|
Nothing new. Just a nice ballad but forgettable among her other traditional style ballads.
|
^I agree, but it is ice to hear her voice again :)
|
Quote:
And anyway, what was her last album? When did it come out? It seems a long time since I heard of an album. |
Quote:
A very limited physical release has been released on a Chinese site at some point. Her next (album) release is supposed to be a Tibetan album. |

aw, that's kind of sad...like the industry over there is slowly dying.

alan released 2 singles today.
拈花笑 - Perceivable but Indescribable Song title comes from Buddhism. It's a collaboration with Chinese artist 方锦龙 Fang Jinlong. Single cover Spoiler:
2nd single 好热好热 - So Hot This song is a collaboration with Xiaobing, who seems to be some kind of virtual girlfriend created by Microsoft ?? It was not produced by alan's label, alan studio. Single cover Spoiler:

Another "popular" thing is to release an album in 3 (or 4) parts digitally (so 3-4 EPs of 3 or 4 songs each). Singers Han Geng or Chris Lee for instance have done it in recent years. Han Geng was releasing one EP per month, and Chris Lee one every 2 months. G.E.M will do it this year as well to celebrate her 10th anniversary by releasing 3 EPs. 1st one will be released at the end of the month. |
Ugh, that sucks! I mean, the news (to me) about chinese singers releasing more singles than albums. Usually, when I try to get into new chinese or... any other act in the world, I listen to albums, not single songs. I hope alan one day, goes back to Japan.
Anyway, is there a hard answer about why she went back to China? At the time, I remember some people saying she missed her family, or something. Was that true? Did her contract with avex expired? |
Quote:
An interview I found on alan-international forum, it was released at the time of Love song, her first Chinese album. Quote:
|
Linoa62, thank you so much! Such a sweet girl, she missed family ♥ And don't want to bother any more, so just one more question. Since I am an albums person, I was wondering, all those single songs she releases, end up in an album? I mean, maybe the songs in Thought of a Decade were released previously and I just don't know. Or those single songs never end up in an album?
|
Quote:
龙女 Dragon Lady was a theme song -composed by Kazuhito Kikuchi- released a few months before thought in a decade. It ended up in the album but the version featured in it is a bit different than the single version. Dragon Lady single version Dragon Lady album mix 心花 was a single released in 2016. 幻梦 was a single released in May 2017 (back then it was already introduced as a song from her upcoming album). Finally, several singles have been released to promote the new album, such as 美人谷 Beauty Valley, the title song (this song got a re-release afterwards with a piano and an erhu version) for instance. If I remember well there were 3 or 4 promotional singles before the actual release of thought in a decade. They have all been deleted since then on Chinese sites, because they're in the album I guess. |
I like song with chinese vocaloid )
|
Thank you so much for that info Linoa62!! A shame that I won't ever bother to download song by song, and just prefer the easy way and get a whole album lol However, if I knew her chinese singles are amazing, then I would bother :D
About the songs released before the album, I guess they were meant to be just promo, and now that they're available for purchase, they decided to stop people from getting them easily. |
Perceivable but Indescribable is very quiet. Such a perfect song to chill and meditation.
So Hot is a fun song that I wouldn't believe that Alan would have released if someone had told me this some years ago. |
alan has released a new single today for Qixi Festival !
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qixi_Festival It's called 桃花缘 Peach Fate. Lyrics have been adapted from the poem 题都城南庄 In A Village South Of The Capital by poet Cui Hu of the Tang Dynasty. Cover Spoiler:
|
Very traditional sound. Thanks !
|
Any rips of the single? The youtube video doesn't work anymore. :(

Thank you! I miss her music so much.

New song for drama 盛唐幻夜 An Oriental Odyssey (release date October 17th).
叹相思 Sigh & Yearn alan recorded a song with Japanese DJ DJ FUMI★YEAH! in early October. It will be featured in his upcoming album, no release date at the moment. https://www.aqua-production.com/artists/dj-fumi-yeah/ A post on alan studio from the end of October says "a lot of songs have been recorded last year and this year. They have not been released yet for various reasons, you still need to wait patiently..." |
^Thanks for the info !
|
Sigh & Yearn MV
Nothing new music-wise, she's still participating in Chinese music shows. |
alan recently shot a new MV with singer Hacken Lee for their upcoming collaboration 最完美的分手 The Most Perfect Breakup !
This song will be featured in Hacken Lee's new Mandarin album whose release is scheduled for this year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacken_Lee Pictures Spoiler:
|
I can't wait to see it!
|
Last night alan went to Japan, she met with former avex colleagues she hasn't seen in a long time: her former agent, someone from A&R and someone from marketing.
She ended her message by saying that they were reminiscing... the future ?! Is she trolling or hinting at something ? https://i.postimg.cc/htCxcC0R/48ec5e...21sg1cb4qt.jpg |

alan has started recording for her new album on March 20th (from Weibo):

I want to tell everyone to never give up on your own dream(s), come on !
It seems that she isn't doing that well, right ? Did her last album flopped in China ? I feel so bad for her because we know how talented she is. |
Quote:
In my opinion, she's saying that because she had to scrap her Tibetan album for some reason. She released a single last year, announced her Tibetan album, recorded lots of songs, but nothing came out of it... (except for a few Mandarin singles for movies and dramas) Since she's producing herself, and the fact that she's not "big" in China, I guess she has to do some sacrifices in order to keep releasing music :( |
Quote:
|
I'm really sad that her Tibetan album was never released. It looked like they got really far into the production process with it as well, and I was really looking forward to it...
I'm really happy she's still recording music and I hope they find a way to release it one day, even if it's just leaked snippets :dead2 I do think it's a real shame that alan never found huge success in any of the countries she's debuted in. Her voice is phenomonal and her style was always unique and eye-catching. It'll always feel unfair to me. |
alan released a new single 3 days ago for an online game called Moonlight Blade:
Promo pic Spoiler:
Looks like alan also underwent surgery last month because of hearing loss caused by overworking... |
