RED CLIFF ~our hearts belongs to alan~ ♫ 6th thread
 

wow!! 6th thread already! and i love the title~ the new single covers are really making me happy~

Way to steal the thread from poor GRACE yet again. :P

yay for alan's 6th thread~ i still remember the first.. aww alan's fanbase has grown so big since then~

:roflmao

Nice thread though Cloud, you're so creative :yes

D: Missed it again, oh well, I wasn't here so it's only logical. I like the title <3

New thread! Like I said, the RED CLIFF covers are stunning. Now, I am curious about the water single :)

oo XFER1, i like your new ava, who's that very pretty girl?! ;) :P

LOL, gorgeous is more like it. You probably wouldn't know her, she's some random singer called alan :P

never heard of her :innocent

who's alan? o.õ no, wiki.theppn can't answer that now.

Great new thread. Love the "you go blowing in the wind" ^_^ The new covers are beautiful.

RED CLIFF covers are really beautiful

I love the RED CLIFF covers.. But the covers for Sora Uta are still amazing! :luv2

Agreed! =]

PV for RED CLIFF ~Kokoro Ikusa~ is up on youtube! Just wait for it to finish processing. :)
Click!

...Wait, the Kokoro Ikusa PV is out... already? And we had to wait how long for Kaze no Tegami? Damn Avex...

^japanese version?

it says the video is unavailable.

because it's not done processing yet`

it was removed due copyright rules now. :eviltongu

^japanese version?

edit : avex has remove it!!!

WHAT! already?!!! are avex on alan watch right now!!!!

Doesn't mean anything, avex handles her current Chinese career too =/.

It can't be the Japanese version, it seems way too early for it to leak.

it could be, actually. usually, MVs with such a big tie-in are always available quite earlier than we expect. no, it hasn't been aired, no way. but it maybe leaked somewhere by streaming, the most possible here.

then what pv was this supposed to be?

Until Akutenshi tells otherwise, I'm assuming it's still the Chinese one =/... It seems to convenient.

It was for Kokoro Ikusa, however, it got removed because it's over 12 minutes long, and stupid youtube has a limit of 10 minutes. -.-

...12 minutes o_o...

@_@...that explains a lot...WAIT! crunchyroll or veoh works too!..but CR take a long time..

but wait, is it just the japanese dub of the heart war?

I'm not personally sure, I can't play it on my computer, so I attempted to upload it, but it was labeled as "RED CLIFF ~Kokoro Ikusa~". I have no idea though, seeing as I haven't watched it.

...oh what site did you get it from?

O.O 12 mins MV...o goddd...

i dunno wad to expect....i hope its ssmilar but not the same as the chinese wan...

12 min for the pv???, It's a lot XD
thanks for link

wow~ I've just listened to Ashita e no Sanka and at first I didn't like it but then it REALLY grows on me... She has such a unique and strong voice

same for me , I didn't like that song when I 1st heard it as I wasn't used to hearing alan SCREECH but I do have to admit it's growing on me now

yeah her voice is really beautiful & powerful
I prefer Hitotsu than Ashita e no sanka

Ooh new thread! Already? Yaaay!!

Ashita e No Sanka is amazing!!! It definetly grows on you....

woo hoo 6th thread !

the RED CLIFF PV is up on JPS.

Just finished downloading and watching the Red Cliff PV from Jpopsuki. Best alan PV, for me. (Although I know I'm completely biased, because I love the actual Red Cliff movie to death.) :D Hehe.

But anyway, I was really surprised to hear the added "wail" this time around, since it wasn't in the Chinese version or the full Japanese version we heard a little while ago. Definitely a big plus for me! I'm so glad it's in there, I love it. :)

someone wanna upload this PV to youtube, please?

(Akutenshi? :) lol)

I'm on it. :)

haha, thank you! :)

i feel so bad, i haven't watched the kaze no tegami PV since it aired around 2 weeks ago, lol. very bad fan. :tipsy

You should definitely watch it while I'm uploading RED CLIFF, then. :P

Ahh I just watched the PV, I really liked the added wailing, I think it fitted perfectly!

Ahhh more wailing! Awesome!!!!!!!

I'm so glad she's wailing again <3 It really adds a nice touch to the song. Also, is it just me, or where the "la la la's" at the beginning re-recorded?

They were. :yes

^I knew it! I liked them better this time around <3 The single version impresses me even more than the long version~

omg i :heart the wailing! I'm so glad she brought that back >M<

Looks like the money that was raised for Sichuan was already donated :) Thanks so much alan. also something about recording, but she doesn't really reveal what she was recording. Maybe it was just Kokoro Ikuza, but I could be wrong.

Sorry for the delay guys, my school had a football game. I'm (finally) uploading onto youtube as we speak.

no problem, no rush. :D thanks!

Are the "I wrote a song" and the "recording" connected? If so, then maybe it involves China rather than Japan, from what I understand, alan's grasp of Japanese is still not complete

In her last Japanese blog entry, she doesn't say what the recording was for, just that she did it today. She says something about putting her heart into the lyrics when she sings (or something like that anyways) to be very important.

Here's the PV that's finally uploaded. I named it ~Kokoro Ikusa~ because that title is much prettier in Japanese then "Shin Sen" is. :)

Click!

^ Thanks!

I still hate the la la's at the beginning :laugh The wailing is such a great touch to the song! There were some parts I think sounded better in Japanese, but I think I like it more in Chinese.

^Wow, the lipping matched up! I'm impressed, they re-recorded those scenes!

Well it was stated a while back that they did many hours of recording (I want to say 30 in total, though I'm not sure how accurate that is). They did a Chinese and a Japanese version in that time.

EDIT: It's 50 hours, not 30. So yeah, I'm pretty sure they did both Chinese and Japanese in that time.

Thanks for uploading the video to YT, Akutenshi!

EDIT: I was surprised to hear the added wail too! Nice. :)

And question: Is the long Japanese version that leaked earlier from the RED CLIFF soundtrack, or something? I want to tag it properly.

oo here are some other alan forums i've found

http://alanchina.5d6d.com/
http://www.alanfans.cn/
http://www.alanchina.net/

alan is rather popular in china then!

I don't even know if the Japanese kana lyrics are out yet. Maybe I'll have to do the lyrics by-ear like I did for Sora Uta until it comes out xD.

thanks for link pommy.

Sorry tammy I don't have it.

Thanks alot for this!!! I love the PV!! Anyone have a download link or something??

here is

Oh wow I love alanchina.net's layout thing! It's so pretty!

Thank you sooo much Yoake!!!!!

thanks again! gonna watch now. :D

i'm in love with alanchina.net's layout @_@ so pretty!

and the wailing in the pv is great! i love her wailing hehe
but why is the PV titled red cliff~shin sen~?

oh my god ! Kokoro Ikusa is so amazing sounds much better than the leaked version before, the wailing oh my god the wailing i think that made me have an orgasm lol sorry ... , so glad the PV version had re-recorded stuff well done avex !keeping the fans pleased.
alan :love

More likely than not, it's from the RED CLIFF OST. It's the right length to be from it.

To be honest, I've never seen the PV for the Chinese version.. But this is BEAUTIFUL! ; ; I'm SO glad I preordered the CD+DVD version! lol

the chinese pv is about the same as the japanese version, they just dubbed her over her chinese with japanese~

^No, they re-recorded it. Her lips match, that's what I'm trying to say @_@

so they shot 2 pvs in the same place?

^Exactly. During the same filming session. If you watch the Japanese version closely, you'll see that the movements her lips make match the Japanese lyrics.

AH! just rewatched, they do match!!!...but some scenes where she doesn't sing like in the boat~ is the same for both pv...right?

anybody wanna rip the japanese pv version (the one with the wailing) So we can all carry it around with us on our mp3s? :)

Check the download section, Cloudy_Honey did already

i just started listening to alan today and i love her voice so much! i just finished watching her Hitotsu PV and it's so gorgeous

hitotsu covers still kinda scared me..i mean her hair all over the place and with her eyes open @_@...but the pv is very pretty!

i love when she picks up the snowy apple~
she is so gorgeous!

Hitotsu is such an elegant PV!! Love it!!!

But right now, I just wanna hear the full version of Kagome.... I love the preview! Hope's it's not a disppointment.... like... Kaze no Tegami.....

EDIT: Owww..... can you believe it?? CDJapan can't preorder RED CLIFF CD+DVD cause it's already sold out!!!!
That's great for alan. That's terrible for me.... :irked :grumpy

oh no its sold out !? but we can take this as a good sign that Red Cliff will sell like hotcakes hopefully.

^wad?! omg tats super fast...

i was taking a look on yesasia they still got it in stock ! im gonna order mine from there

Okay, thanks! :D

>_<...i had a nice dream~ and maybe thought it was going to be true...that all of alan's singles will have OS presses...but it's only a dream :bawl

^aww :(

so last night i think i watched all of the rest of alans PVS and there wasn't one i didn't like - they are all so pretty!!

I know!!! like i've said, alan is made to be photographed/pved~

ashita e no sanka was really cool, the blue feathers hehe

Wow, already? I'm so glad I pre-ordered right when CDJapan listed it... It sucks for everyone who didn't get it yet, I believe CDJapan is offering the posters and Yesasia isn't..

Can someone upload for me SORA UTA scans?

Another message from alan. This time it sounds sad. Something about missing someone and her brother getting married. Also something about going to film festivals.

and the top...she said "she didn't sleep well, was a little bit dizzy in the morning"
idk what it have to do with halos..

ok! i can't take it!
i'm translating it!


Didn't sleep well...Felt a little dizzy this morning...Going to Dalian for a film festival tomorrow...It's a shame the time is too short...

I don't know why, but I've really been missing everyone lately....How is everyone??? I keep on reminiscing the time I'd spent with everyone...Knowing that you guys have been with me all this time...Thank you guys for always worrying about me...Telling everyone a good news... My brother is getting married soon, just found out today... I'm especially happy...The wedding will be sometime before the end of the year...Ha ha...Now my parents won't be so lonely...The house will be more lively....When the time comes and my schedule isn't too busy, I want to go back, I already requested a break from the company today...Yes, hope I get a 4.5 days break
