omg that cover is beautiful :luv2

!!!!!!!!

YAY for BREAKERZ

#3 for alan ?! that's just amazing

congrats to the top 3 y'all :yatta

http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/confidence/65171/full/

It's true alan is at #3. It doesn't state her sales though.

the sales will be revealed in due time I suppose

but OMG I'm so happy for her alongside with BREAKERZ :weep

wonder if it's possible for you to not mention breakerz in every post lol

kinda cute how most people at alan-china have the screencap of alan as number one on the site as their signature

^I know they're happy that she made #1 but that a little too much.

LOL I'm sorry Jasmine but it just so happened that both my fave artistes released their singles last week so yeah :laugh

somemore for them to be side by side together it's even more awesome :D

haha that's a cause for worthly celebration

lol i'm just playing with you :P

a little too much? nope not at all, people there are devoted fans and it's like a family there, so it's not someone will judge you for having a sig like that, and most chinese forums don't usually have sigs at all

I think it's a big achievement for someone like alan, who's usual chart rankings are in the 20s and 30s to hit #1 on the daily, it's a worthy cause of celebration!

And to see her at #3 on the weekly, it's so many firsts! It's her first top 10, first top 5 AND first top 3 all in one.

I'm so proud to be an alan fan ^^

^ :hi5 i know right! after being an alan fan for so long, you just feel like you're so proud of her accomplishments!

The 2nd paragraph's <3

yeah & especially since when you guys & myself have followed her since her Japanese debut Ashita :yes

^I started with Megumi no Ame. It's my favorite song ever.

:bawl lol such an emotional moment, but i did cry when i was translating her chinese blog post...i mean such a long journey that she have taken :bawl

ah *sweat* people from alan-china are beginning to join my forum :thud

lol it's not really my fave alan song Mishelle

I started with Sora Uta which really changed my mind about her , music wise

Ashita scared me initally @_@

yeah 2 years's a long time for her & for her to finally achieve great success with Kuon no Kawa , it's great what can I say ?

I started with Natsukashii myself, but still, a lot have us have been there since the very beginning, it's nice to see some success finally going her way! I really hope that her next single does even better!

i fell in love with Ashita the min i heard it! i've been waiting for a song like that!!

can't believe it's been almost 2 years @_@ time seem to just pass so quickly!

oh I always had the assumption that you 'been' with her since Ashita

guess I was wrong about it

I know Jasmine @_@

time files when you're having fun

I should kick myself on why I was so scared of Ashita back then :roflmao

didn't help matters that MTV Taiwan just played the yodelling parts of Ashita at that time when I 1st heard it T_T

I got that from JPM.. it's mostly true.

lol XD i lost interest in alan after ashita e no sanka, cause i was a newbie in jpop, so i didn't follow news very well XD till i joined AHS and restarted to follow alan~

ah i think i'm gonna be a transcanlation sometimes soon, it's like this little page with some ayu pictures and her little tidbits about life or mostly about health and food XD

Ah weekly #3! Great job, honestly!

I downloaded Ashita when it first came out, but I never really listened to her till Natsukashii, so I guess you could say I was with her since Ashita, but I didn't really start till Natsukashii :3

:laugh

she still hates veggies isn't it ? it will be scary if she suddenly posted a pic with a big pot of veggie steamboat stew @_@ & then with the captions : I LOVE VEGGIES

noo...she talks about spicy sichuan food again~ i think? i haven't taken a good look at it

i never remember how to spell that nat...something song, i just say that mirai song XD

XD Natsukashii~

Speaking of that, I wonder what the "new version" of it is going to be like on the next single.

I just hope it's not taking the place of a b-side, I want it AND a b-side, she needs another legitimate b-side. Or to do a double-A, one or the other

alan hasn't released a double a-side single yet so maybe the one that will be out in June will be it ? :shrug

mirai :D

well it's gonna be a maxi single...so hopefully she'll have more songs on there! though i love GnT, but i didn't like that there weren't any b-sides >_>....

I know that the tie-in song is going to be a ballad, but I hope that there's a b-side/other a-side that's like an experimenting track. Either a REAL rock song(no "poptastic rock" ala Kaze) or a really fast song (WHERE'S MY EVOLUTION-ESQUE SONG ALAN, BEEN WAITING FOREVER)

LOL yeah that was a shock when I found out GnT didn't had any B-sides T_T

that or maybe a summer song

something fun & NOT a ballad please :dead2

^ well it's gonna be a song for NHK and look at what mirai was....

woo gambatte alan! ♥
*tears of joy* :')

honto ? I didn't know about that til you said so

I guess everyone have to wait for more updates with regs to her next single

I wonder will it be titled in full Eng for once (I don't really count RED CLIFF in here as it's 1/2 Eng in the sense)

lol XD i like her single titles, but mostly it's just something no something XD

:roflmao

that's so random but cute Jasmine :bchuck

my lovely friend sljinu over at the Channel-Ai blog translated an alan interview! The interviewer is quite a strange one (never really asking questions, just making statements) but alan seems very sincere and sweet.

alan CDJournal interview - Kuon no Kawa

ah thanks for this! i like this interviewer, most people would ask "who are you dating" blah blah XD

araan is today 11# such a big drop :weep

but i'm happy she is in the top 3

that interview was amazing..
and i really like that she pointed out how special and unique alan is and I think that is truly why we all love her.
I hope she continues that way really...though she is trying to understand JPOP...but i still hope she sticks to her roots and creates better music

Oricon weekly rank

*3　11,956　alan

She still outsold all of her singles expect RED CLIFF.

And for Karen

lmao at the spoiler tag :lmfao

thanks for both artiste's sales updates , Mishelle :D

Woah!!! alan's sales are really starting to pick up!!! That her first top 3? O_o

^Yup!
And if I'm not mistaken, her first top ten as well.

Her first Top 10, 5 and 3. As someone said before.

just realise that yesterdar she got number one position for daily chart...
wow...O_O that's huge

^ haha yeah, i know that feeling! just can't believe it @_@

it seems you find better alan pics in the staff's blog XD sometimes her pics are LQ~

hehe yeah , but cant help the LQ but as long as we get some alan love im not complaining

totally~ oo great news, alan love is now one of the affiliates of alan fans XD seems like people do notice my posts on there cause one person said "难得pommy打中文" :roflmao

hehe great thing being noticed

yes guys

it's her 1st top3/5/10 if you want to say :laugh

me neither @_@

I can't believe she's holding that terrible looking fat 'alanpan' in the pic :roflmao

aww lol i think it's cute...ah wish asboy would make more alanpans <3<3 his are so cute!

yeah waay

they're so much more cuter & less 'fat' :laugh

whoa TOP 3...im slow but..WHOA im so happy for her!!! im sure the Movie is screening in Japan now

avex Taiwan posted an article about her via http://www.avex.com.tw/4th/artist/ar...=1320&cateid=2

can you do a rough translation Jasmine ? My chinese sucks man :dead2

she is so cute in her kimono *.*

talking about her getting #1

and how she broke faye wong's record as the highest ranking for a chinese singer, faye had #9

That's so great ^
I'm glad to see someone with genuine talent debuting and charting so well.

gah just realized how stupid whoever wrote that article is

they said GRSE is a cover song >_>...tsk tsk

hi everyone i lost all my bookmarks so all my alan links are gone ! :'(
please can anyone be so kind to post links of any alan related websites they know, much appreciated .

^ oh that sucks, i got her blog in the first post and her baidu photo gallery

jasmine can u give me baidu photo gallery link and also can u give me links to some alan chinese forums ?i only found one that i had

^ like i said, it's in the first post
http://bbs.alan-fans.cn/

just look at the bottom of the page and click on the alan banners you see

thank you so much jasmine and ayuta, im slowly getting back my alan sources now ...

thanks Jasmine

here I was thinking that avex Taiwan has announced an OS press release for Kuon no Kawa :(

^If they did, her new single would already be out...
I'm still so proud of Kuon no Kawa! It's at #12 today.

:yes

I'm waiting for a day where avex Taiwan will start to release OS presses of her singles

I mean if they did that for Ashita , I don't see why they can't do it for her current single releases

it's always the $ factor T_T

I've just watched her Kuon no kawa performance at MJ. I found it's not agreat live. I feel she didn't want to sing as she was fed up!

HQ Music Fighter performance anyone?

no!

Omg I've taken more listens to Kuon no Kawa and... it reminds me of these two things!

1) GREEN AOV
and
2) Orchestra music!!!

I mean seriously the beginning... I can imagine it on a symphonic band piece, or an orchestra piece... whoa it's really so great... I'm liking Kuon no Kawa more than RED CLIFF!

OMFGGGGGGGGGGGG

ALAN IS GOING TO BE ON MUSIC STATION.

http://alan-web.jp/schedule/#tv

yay an new live!!! I hope it'll be great!

when she will be on MUSIC STATION , Mishelle ? I can't see anything on her official site :dead2

She's performing on May 1st.

oh sweet :heart

I thought she might be appearing next Fri so that maybe NEWS (Ryo Nishikido anyone ? :innocent) will flirt with her or something but oh never mind :roflmao

:rolleyes. alan is not good enough for Ryo. Maybe Tegoshi.

:laugh

nah Tegoshi's too girlie for alan . Doesn't help matters that he has went downhill apperance wise

ick at permed hair , is he pulling a Kame part 2 ? :grumpy :dead2

I hope before alan's about to perform on MUSIC STATION , an update will be announced with regards to her 10th single :D

Oh no :no :no :no

:laugh

maybe TegoMass might stand a chance especially Masuda cos they're both the same age as her well relatively & either 1 of them , they looked cute together you have to admit somehow or another ;)

Shige 'the closet sex addict' - NAH & that goes for Koyama 'the mother hen' too :bchuck

then again KoyaShige's been 'together' for the past 8-9 years so :laugh

ah!! music station for alan! i am SO proud of her T^T this 1st place was a really big step for her : D

No Johnny's with my alan plz. :3 I'd sooner die =D

and yay on music station, she's finally going places, I'm so proud~

I hope this boosts her popularity!

MUSIC STATION is the biggest music show in Japan right? Or is there a bigger one?

god no, i hope she never get together with JE guys~

i think avex is truly seeing alan's potential now! with her #1 single, to be on MS is just absolutely huge!!!

and we're kinda close to our 16th thread!! who wanna make it?

Um yeah. Technically it isn't a #1 single, it's a #3. But MS is a huge deal. :yes

^If you count a #1 on the Dailies...it is...
But MS for alan! I can't wait to see it.

oh thats great news alan on musicstation ! her kuon no kawa lives have been excellent so far hope her MS performance will be extra special

Update: guys ive added a HD performance of Kuon no kawa from music japan http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=88782

i feel that her performance date is so random, not like ayu that will perform when she release something new...
but i'm happy that finally she will appear on MS!!!

That why I said "technically", because at the end of the day only one chart matters and that's the weekly chart.

^ well i was just talking about the daily chart

and also mcken, i think you should try to upload the video to another website, cause those sites are really slow for people that aren't in china

it's ok GRACE , she's for you :laugh

:roflmao I don't think that will happen , Mishelle & I were just kidding around :lmfao

MUSIC STATION - yeah it's a big thing cos I believe you get a lot more exposure if you're on there as compared to other shows like Utaban

either you or GRACE should do it

lol XD i'm out of it for a new thread title, oh well :D just someone that can make an awesome first post :P

but i really hope that alan will sing a full song on MS >_>

That's good, maybe her next single will be #1 for a week, because it's not like her singles don't have any substance and aren't good at all!

I'll do the next thread~

Do we want it now or do we want to wait for the thread to fill up?

^ we can do it now~~ only a few more posts to go

^Alright, working on a collage

^ oo nice idea! what's the thread title gonna be?

Here we are:
