Pommy's Presents

new thread already?
wow!

really nice title pommy ^^
and thanks for the GIFs ; )

haha the last one just went by so fast!
haha i was thinking of gunjou no tani, but then i remembered, alan is from the valley of beauty! so it all works out!!
and no problem <3
you guys can expect many more GIFs from me!

yay for new alan thread but I thought Gunjou no Tani means Ultramarine Valley ? :shrug

^ it does, but we already had one called ultramarine valley, so i wanted to change the title, so i only used the valley part of ultramarine valley

alan's hair in the Hitotsu single cover looks so strange. Her hair is all over the place. o_O

ah ok I got it now

haha before I came onboard the alan's music wagon , I was saying that the covers for Hitotsu were like something what Medusa might look like , hair wise :laugh

i'm afraid to put the CD+DVD version of hitotsu as the album artwork on my ipod, scares the crap out of me @_@

same for me @_@

I still think Kaze no Tegami & RED CLIFF are <3 ... alongside with Gunjou no Tani of course

isn't it a bit strange that none of her singles are titled in Eng except for the 1st 1/2 of RED CLIFF

OMG, you are right! My first thought that came to me was, her hair looked like an octopus, or something like that. It does look a bit scary.

imo Hitotsu's still my least fave alan cover outta the 8

My favourite alan cover would be the Gunjou no Tani cover.

I like the background sky and scenery, it looks very beautiful.

I never thought Sichuan , China be that sceneric looking til I saw the cover & PV for Gunjou no Tani

haha, her threads always move too fast for me. i think an OS version of her album is quite possible since Alan is quite popular at her homeland.

and i finally mange to listen to 5 secs of her avex china audition of "Never End" :love

I think the village or place where the PV was filmed is so beautiful.

And in the PV, where she is standing, near the river, is so nice to see. I love the atmosphere and everything in the PV.

:yes imo it's 1 of her best works to date for sure

Definitely, yup! :yes :D

Oo. i never knew about the acoustic Gunjou no Tani..i think THAT will be quite nice

I wonder what it will sound like.

I do enjoy listening to acoustic versions of songs. ^^

it prob be more simpler in terms of music arrangement

thank goodness HMV Heeren has began importing her stuff to be sold here since Kaze no Tegami

Are her singles expensive at your local HMV?

quite as it's the same price that's charged for an album

the Japanese Yen against the Sing $'s not helping things either

-___- The Japanese Yen doesn't seem very good against a lot of other currencies as well. -___-

unfortunately but true but ah well , can't wait for Gunjou no Tani to be out in due time :D

a bit off topic but I just realise Jasmine shared the same bday as DAIGO !!!

OMG ... I'm so jealous now :grumpy

I love it :D Especially when her eyes are open^^

Wow thread 12 already XD We alan fans are chatty =P

Ha, alan's threads are the only threads I participate in and have trouble keeping up!

Anyway, I showed my mother the Gunjou no Tani PV and she adored it. She loved the song and everything. My mom says alan's got a lot of talent~ Yay!

From the last alan thread - I really liked that video of her playing the piano!
From this thread - I wish that we could have heard her sing all of NEVER END. :)

^ Same here, really loved the high note on iru.

From Last thread:
The CD+DVD first press for RED CLIFF was sold out before the single came out iirc. They added a first press poster for the CD-only later

It's a different mix of Gasshou, with the choir and alan. Still not that great, but better than just the choir.

Already my opitism for alan's album is decreasing.

thanks for the new thread! i love gunjou no tani, it kinda reminds me of coldplay's speed of sound

haha alan sounds pretty good singing NEVER END...wish i could hear all of it >_<

Nice gifs!

This one reminds me of Ayu for some reason O_O;

http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...8/GIF/GRSE.gif

i only think of alan's hair color....which i want ayu to have that hair color again!

I know I'm late, but I saw the video! Her Japanese is sooooooo good! I wish I could take the crash course Avex offers to teach their stars Japanese hahaha.

oo look at alan in Vivi 02/2009
MnA is so big haha

Wow, MnA is huge.
The food is making me hungry.

Vivi 02/2009?

Are you sure it's not 03/2009??? Because I have 02/2009 and I didn't see that article at all, I'll look again! I think I would have remembered if I had! That would be super exciting! I hope she makes it on the cover one day!


*takes a closer look*

..... That's not in Japanese is it xD;

I forgot ViVi is also published in Chinese!!!!! *feels stupid*

Does she buy chocolate on this pic? OO

I love chocolate!

thanks for scans

I didn't know that vivi have two version with different article!

vivi have 3 different actually, japanese, traditional chinese and simplified chinese

Is the content always the same (or similar), or is it three different branches?

sometimes they're the same, but the taiwanese version of it tend to take out a lot of info, because they have to translate everything, and replace some japanese ads with taiwanese ads instead

but the covers are usually the same
but i did notice for the Cawaii issue of ayu in the kimono, the taiwanese version didn't have the kimono cover, but just a cover of Days/GREEN

That's interesting that some j-mags are translated for other countries... or are these international magazines (at least for asia).

I think they're just translated.

Okay like the Jun guy is the only man there... O.o

ah~ just went on alan-china and saw that people on alan's avex taiwan page wanted alan to have an OS press of her album, WEE hope it'll come true

Wow, the pictures used for both alan and Jolin do have some similarties.
LOL @ Jun who doesn't look a thing like her. :roflmao

Yeah that's the only way I can afford it lol

Yeah I think she looks the most like Jolin!

I think she looks like Jolin too...

And that thing just makes Jun seem like a girl xD

Her eyes are like ayu's but she's got higher cheek bones and less pronounced traits otherwise (like nose). I think she's one of the most beautiful artists in japan atm.

LOL
random xDD

thanks for sharing this!! xD
i think she looks a bit more like jolin than ayu...


(shut up you are crazy!!) xDD
**talkin to myself :P**

thanks I know I can count on you lol

I like it actually , what's wrong with it ? :shrug

it's not everyday you get a choir version of an A-side

O_o It's cool that she looks like Ayu, nut I can't see the resemblance in ANY of these superstars.... :thud

"My Celebrity Look-alikes" is a crap. Maybe Jolin Tsai, but everyone else... >>

Alan's unique XDDD

alan looks a bit like Ayu, I guess.

alan does look a bit like ayu, but that site is crap @_@...doesn't even have that many asian celebrities

IMO, the children's voices clash with alan's. Wouldn't mind if to me the voices blended together better.

OMG, alan will be on HEY!x3 on Jan 25th!!!

http://alan-web.jp/info/090120.html

I THINK, if I'm infering correctly, alan's going to be on HEY! HEY! HEY! on the 25th =O

DAMMIT FIVE SECONDS TOO LATE

^ Lol, no worries! ^^;

So, is she performing? I hope so.

I dunno, can someone read Japanese and give us the facts?

OO! hope she sings GnT!
but what's all that requirement under about females? @_@ is she just hosting a small part or something
BUT ARGG!! ALAN!! SING!!! finally she can be on a big show!

^ Has she ever been on Music Station, or some other show?

I only know she performed the Ashita song on Music Fighter.

I don't think she's ever been on a major music show before

there's music japan, but i consider Heyx3 to be a bigger show than those

^ Which song did she perform on Music Japan?

AENS too i believe

^ Yup, you are right.

the music fighter version for AENS will always pwn...

Is it because of the wind blowing effect in that performance? I totally loved it! It made the performance so much more special! :)

^ exactly :yes, i loved her vocals! she was kinda holding back haha, if she went all out..the ceiling could've fallen down :roflmao

She's performing on HEY!x3, the rest of the entry was talking about needing audience members, but they only allow girls

How come they are only allowing girls?

I don't know, but it seems shows like HEY!x3 usually only allow female audience members. But I'm excited to hear she's singing~

hehehe maybe they're doing things...
anyways on AW(alan-world, AW from now on for me), kevin said it's a talk+performance?

so i guess alan may take a bunch of girls and go bra shopping :roflmao

Oh ok, I see, interesting.

Aww, I was about post that. :(
Hopefully she'll perform Gunjou no Tani.

Yep, small talk then she'll perform which will be short.

I don't see why she wouldn't do Gunjou, unless she's going to do Liberty or, possibly, Kuon no Kawa (Which would be weird, but with avex, not unlikely). So hopefully, Avex picks the logical Gunjou. I'd love to hear it live <3

i would go gaga crazy if she does sing GnT! :D proud supporter of that amazing song!
i'm downloading a 200 MB of jiayou, you have me, it's VOB, so before i think about uploading, any of you guys interested, if not a lot, then i won't @_@

I hope she performs gunjou. ^^

I'd be interested if I had the room to download big files, but I don't ;_;...

gah, then i won't download if no one want @_@ but it's really clear though..and there's the 300 mb making of :eviltongu, i hate big sized file @_@ and VOB! what's wrong with a 90 MB avi!

They know you like avi so they chose the opposite.

I dislike big sized files too. -___-

oo anyways, the head admin/creator? of alan-china was able to chase down alan and get her to autograph his CDs...that lucky....

http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj85/pommy48/CDs.jpg

how did he get the digisingles in physical copies ._.?

WOW, her autograph looks so nice! ^^

i think he printed the covers? but idk @_@ they look really nice

Printed the covers and put them into empty CD cases?

but that picture of sora uta...was that the CD only @_@ i never seen that pic before

Maybe an inside photo? I know that's not the CD only cover.

yeah, cause the CD only is just her eyes closed
GRACE? care to explain?

did alan have extra pics in the booklet?

Yep, it's inside, the fire and black one are from RED CLIFF and Megumi no Ame respectively also

T_T......would you happen to have a scanner? or know a place with the pic?
do other single booklets have extra pics!

I don't really remember sadly ^^;;... I can look another time, it's messy, and I don't wan tot take the risk of knocking something off the desk here if I bring them over here. I know Sora Uta and RED CLIFF had other pictures though

Didn't Karen have the scans for download a while back?

she did? i thought she only had KnT?

karen has a bunch of scan threads in the downloads forums iirc
