time gets to everyone! i bet alan got her good looks from her mom :D

alan and her mom are kinda like Namie and her mom; don't look too much alike.
You can definitely tell she's a mom.

yeah a while back, alan was on the M, and it showed her mom and dad?

I remember the days where 320kbs rips of alan singles didn't exist. Hitotsu didn't get a 320kbs rip till I did it as far as I'm aware XD

Ow come on, does no one like Jiayou????

XD haha i totally forgot about jiayou :roflmao

I don't listen to C-Pop in general so I can't say whether I like Jiayou or not.

hmm compared to other cpop, it's ok, doesn't sound as generic....but what can you expect out of cpop anyways~

i never downloaded the song, i don't listen to it~

:hi5 everyone should put GnT on repeat
hmm idk about BLEACH, since i never watch it~ though i think alan should get a tie-in with an anime, i mean look at what Dearest did to Ayu~
...maybe when alan is more mainstream~

alan sounds so pretty on the Disney album <3 I love the way they arranged the song, it goes so well with her voice

oh is the full song out? where?? @_@

^alan-world`

i'm looking in the audio, but i see none @_@, only my 30 sec preview...

^In the thread in the discussion section, neuyyar posted it

ah ok found it @_@...haha it should've been in the download section @_@ hate having to dig for download lol

hmm, there's no PV for the disney album right?

can someone give me all alan news single GnT PV? I am lost :D

GnT stands for Gunjou no Tani which is alan's latest release.

BTW i cant find the full disney song alan did can someone post it please?

neuyyar@JPM: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ax0fjn

Good God this song is good. I've ignored alan because her ballad releasing pattern got pretty tiring with only one or two that I deemed worthy of iPodization, but this is different and far more interesting. YAY ALAN! I have always loved her voice though.

thank u pommy

Thank you Jasmine for the link. :shughug

Which two were iPodization worthy?

no problem, and haha you're like karen now calling me by my name :P

...all of alan's songs are iPodization worthy, only the instrumentals aren't XD

The two I like are Ashita e no Sanka and the Red Cliff one (Shin Sen? Or is it Kokoro Ikusa?) I really love her voice, I just rarely have the patience for ballads. But those two I find are worth it for the climaxes.

i wonder if there's an alan fan that hate AENS..it's just so good to be unlikeable *O*

but i don't find them as much as a ballad song, mostly Megumi no Ame is the most ballady for me~

Thanks! ^^

i absolutely love the "Gunjou no Tani" single! :heart
if her album wasn't so close-by, i would've bought it, lol.

I made a mistake xD Sorry I know all things about GnT I had lost in her news after the PV was out :D So those are interesting me

I never like Ashita in the 1st place , her yodelling really scared me :dead2

I like it now though

ashita is AMAZING, it is the second song that hooked me up to alan's music.

i didnt know i'll be attracted by her long yodelling in the chorus <3 its hard to find such voice in music industry nowadays

oh can i call u jasmine too ? sounds like a great name

i just heard acoutisic version of GnT it sounds amazing ! perhaps better than the original version itself? i just love how natural and organic it sounds

I'm so in love with the single and the PV :heart It's really restored my alan love lol.

The acoustic version is so good. :D :D

My copies just arrived <3~! I love CDJ so much <3

^ I know, I got a CD the day after it released in Japan.

The DVD version of the PV is slightly different, and includes a brief opening featuring alan playing the first melody in the song on the ehru to the children from the ehru scenes in the PV

haha sure :D, anyone can call me whatever they want

:hi5 i know! i love how more natural and "sweet" alan sound!!!

oh the PV is different, is there a HQ rip yet?

oo did you guys already see GnT live~
@_@ or have the download yet, alan china isn't working for me...:thud

That explains the background image on her information page.

i'll think about that :lech

and oh i'm going to see the DVD-rips of GnT, i hope youtube has it...

OMG!! i'm so happy, haha got 20 points to download more things off of alan-world~!
still no HQ avi version of GnT >_<

Glad she's going on a few shows. ^^ Can't wait to see the HEYx3 performance.

it's already on youtube'


i would've like if she started out softer, so she'll have more space to rise for the climax of the song~
though the ending was absolute love :luv2

oo but look at how gorgeous alan is at the beach from her japanese blog

LOL!!! poor alan..still has to work on her japanese hahaha..hahah gosh that clip was funny...

but WOW..she rocked in that song..it was stronger than what i hear on the cd rip...sounded great

I hope stock for the CD only of GnT will arrive tomorrow

if not I wouldn't get it til next week T_T

Thanks for the Hey!x3 clip. I love Downtown and I love alan. :D

Great Hey!x3 episode!
Oh, we'll see an alan performance on Valentine's Day.

That was a pretty good episode of HEYx3.

And her performance was good too. ^^

She really needs to practice her Japanese =P

But the performance was great! She looked so fierce at the end

Alan debuted at #20

^ :(

:( I hope it will climb up in the next few days.

unfortunately she's not really up there when comes to sales & etc

at least the material that she put out's good , that's all it matters to me

but 20 is really good for her :D

is 20 really that bad? i never really followed how much alan sells

#20 isnt that bad for a new artist :yes i've seen worse

Hmm...you think she'd chart a little better on the first day. I hope she can raise up a little bit, and at least make some half-decent sales.

She's debuted higher. I was hoping after HEYx3 she would sell a little better butttt... as long as she doesn't completely flop I'm happy :).

It's better than being in the 30s like she was last year~ I hope it can maintain

@_@ 20.....but but...it's too amazing to be just 20 :thud
hope it'll raise more

anyone can upload Alan song from Disney Tribute? Because I dont want download whole album for this one song

it was on a few pages back, i posted it~
neuyyar@JPM: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ax0fjn

Gunjou no Tani, the song, is at 49 on the "TOP SONGS" section on the iTunesJapan Store!

OO!!! that's awesome!!!! it's in the top! is it 49 out of 50......or 100?

also how do you guys label GNT acoustic version?

It's out of 100.

And the official tag for the Acoustic version is "群青の谷 Acoustic Version"

oo that's pretty good, it's like when you get a 99 on a test, you're just so close to 100, but yet so far away~
at least alan isn't 50
and ok! grr @_@ retag

^ I have it tagged as Gunjou no Tani -Acoustic Version-. Just tag it how you want.
#20 isn't a bad place for a lesser known artist. Definitly is an improvement over #100.

haha last fm just make me obsessed with having the perfect tagging *O*

it's pretty good for a single with limited promotion, only 1 live...

woo hoo stock for the CD only of Gunjou no Tani has came in the local HMV :D

I'm going to buy a copy later on

Am I only the person who detects a hint of Sakura Modern in Ayu's song GREEN?

nah you're not the only 1

the composer for Sakura Modern & GREEN are the same person if I'm not mistaken

^LOL that's good, I'm sitting here listening to Sakura Modern and when it got to a certain part I was just like OMG Green sampled Sakura Modern, but if the same composer did both songs then I see why it has such similarities.

I thought some parts in both songs seemed similar. ^^

^tasuku arranged BOTH songs..

-- -- -- -- -- 20↓29　alan 「群青の谷」


Hopefully her upcoming performances will do its magic. <3

awww :( i wish more people would recognize her talent

big drop x3 but still not bad ^^

I got hold of the CD only of Gunjou no Tani earlier on at the local HMV :D

I scanned it up & you can download it alongside with the other CD only singles that I have of alan via http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=81355

Thanks so much, Karen!! ^^ :)

as always thanks for scans Karen :D

Seems like she will sell her usual amount. =[

@_@ wow, my download for GnT live is going so slow, it's her latest performance *O*

oo alan sounds great, anyone know a free program to convert from ts to avi?

at least gone are the days where she debuted at like what #100+ :dead2

so it's already quite good now more or less

heres torrent for alan's latest performance of Gnt http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showth...49#post1813949

its amazing ! best performance yet !

Haha, they shipped only copy again?
You're official alan's biggest fan in Singapore. :D

haha no Melody , this time round they had a few copies of Gunjou no Tani in stock on the CD shelves unlike last time where they only import 1 copy of Kaze no Tegami & RED CLIFF :laugh

& thanks for the compliment :D

Ah, it seems she's getting a few more fans. You might have some competition.
