Beautiful thread Pommy! :heart

And I really want to hear this song she's just recorded; if she actually found it hard cause of the high key notes, it must be reaaally impressive :thud

pommy48 1st November 2010 08:16 AM

Hehe I just copied and pasted the last thread :laugh

And I'm excited to see how the song will work out with a duet!

And wee!! I find a longer preview of Over the clouds BURST remix without people talking! It sounds soo goooood!!!

wildconnetta 1st November 2010 10:37 AM

Haha always nice to get back on the alan bandwagon :laugh

I can't imagine how they will remix my life..though I can only imagine an acoustic or orchestra version of it :laugh I hope they surprise us with the remix!

^ It's so awesome right?! :luv2 ♥
I especially loves how the beginning starts ♥ I've been addicted to Over the clouds lately...It's still one of my favorite alan song! *o* Diamond/Over the clouds was a really solid single for me ♥

I somehow hope that Avex will start putting remixes/new arrangements on her singles~ Like with Gunjou no Tani Acoustic Version or Ashita e no Sanka Orchestra Version....because they were just amazing! *o*

And news about the recording of Ai wa Chikara!!!

This is the studio where today's recording took place. -> http://twitpic.com/32us2n (From Kikuchi's twitter)

ohsixthirty 1st November 2010 11:39 PM

oh, i didn't notice that...HIGH?! that excites me! the high notes are my favorite parts of her music! i want her to just go as high as possible and hold that note there forever! i love that, its why ashita e no sanka is still my fave by far.

adantatu2 2nd November 2010 12:53 AM

really nice new!
i hope a wail in the song

pommy48 2nd November 2010 01:01 AM

Haha I hope there's a wail ♥ But either way, I loved Da Jiang Dong Qu with its high key even though there's no wailing anyways *o*

adantatu2 2nd November 2010 01:08 AM

^It's true, Chi Bi was so epic!!
that voice is so beautiful !!!!

Ranma Matsuri 2nd November 2010 01:31 AM

Oh, I see. I just really wanted to see how does the CD and DVD (and maybe booklet) look like, so any pics would be fine :)

adantatu2 4th November 2010 12:18 AM

Some pics of the single, i can't find the pics of the booklet, but is just white with the lyrics i guess, i can't remember.
Really huge pics, thanks to tieba.
We can see the postcard too, is really beautiful, this postcard is just for mu-mo ????? or is the first press in any online stores?


pommy48 4th November 2010 12:50 AM

Yeah the booklet only have the lyrics...no extra pictures

adantatu2 4th November 2010 01:21 AM

So I read on Tieba that her 3rd week's rank is

So 3460+999+707=5166 copies sold

AyumiBest 4th November 2010 07:07 AM

Go alan! She deserves so much more though...

Polyrhythm 4th November 2010 07:12 AM

She's not doing that horribly....just no high chart positions but her sales aren't dead yet. Still, single deserves a lot more....

Chiharo 4th November 2010 11:44 AM

Thanks for the pics, adantatu2!

pommy48 4th November 2010 05:08 PM

its funny to me to think of alan liking namie's music! they're just so different! i'm sure of course, that alan doesn't only like the type of music she creates, but its just funny for me to think about it. :yes

pommy48 4th November 2010 10:36 PM

It's funny for me too :laugh But then again...alan likes Michael Jackson too~

And for her avex audition, alan sang NEVER END and played the erhu ♥ I always find that cute *o*

Polyrhythm 8th November 2010 02:29 AM

Hmmm....i dunno if anyone really cares but apparently, God Eater Burst is like a huge success in Japan or something...It sold like 260k first week....so like together the 2 God Eater games sold like almost 600k copies or something.....hey i dunno. More exposure for alan? The US version is coming soon I think.

pommy48 8th November 2010 02:39 AM

Lol i think you/someone said that before!? Because I remember making an "otakus need to get off of their butts and go buy alan's single" comment :laugh

pommy48 10th November 2010 03:47 AM

No news, but alan had an Anecan photoshoot today~ And then she went to the studio

I tweeted to her saying she works so hard and to do her best, she replied with "Because of you guys, I don't feel tired"

Ah so sweet ♥

adantatu2 10th November 2010 03:57 AM

xLuna&1LOVE 16th November 2010 09:21 AM

Her last single release was awesome. Honestly, I started crying when I heard the second song. This is the first time in like 3 years I cry for a song.

It sounds quite disney somehow. But I so love it.

But... I wonder if anyone has the english translations of the lyrics (both of the single) or just the definition of the title. (A)


Oh, by the way. I definitely would sign up for Alan International!

pommy48 16th November 2010 04:13 PM

Oo that CG work was done A_SUGI_CGalan! He's a Japanese fan and he's absolutely amazing!

xLuna&1LOVE 21st November 2010 09:11 PM

@ nana Yeah, I have seen those alanpans on her twitter yesterday. They are adorable, aren't they? I love the BALLAD alan haha.
Whenever I look at them, they remind me of those My Wii creatures. Well, I definitely want characters like these in my Wii tennis- and bowlingteam lol.

@ pommy Of course, of course. The poor thing get heaps of fanmail everyday. She is sooo nice.

adantatu2 21st November 2010 11:25 PM

A SUGI is the best

adantatu2 22nd November 2010 11:42 PM

^really?!?!

mellody 23rd November 2010 01:55 AM

I read that kanji in the cover as : "Ai wa Ka"
How can I read that as Chikara?

milky_way 23rd November 2010 02:50 AM

that "KA" is a kanji, not the katakana, and it means strength or power I think. It is Chikara.

So: Ai Wa Chikara

translates as love is strong/powerful maybe?? :P

thanks for the info!

:)

mellody 23rd November 2010 04:26 AM

Maybe "The Power of Love" ? :p

Edit:
Oh no, it will become Ai no Chikara XD

I don't know the kanji for Chikara can be written like that. Thanks for the info anyway~

Mirai Noah 23rd November 2010 06:45 PM

While the kanji for chikara 力 looks like ka カ in katakana, there is a slight difference. Chikara's a little wider looking.

amorphose 23rd November 2010 08:54 PM

Would one of you very kind alan fans please tell me if she has anymore songs where she does the Tibetan wail thing like in Ashita e no sanka? *o*

dreamland2.0 23rd November 2010 11:31 PM

^hmmm Natsukashii Mirai, Red Cliff, Kuon no Kawa, Ballad, Kaze no Mukou hana
I know I'm forgetting some...

adantatu2 23rd November 2010 11:31 PM
