I think we can skip these 4 posts ; )
we can do this or spam there xP

yeah...even if i wanted to spam @_@ i won't even know what to spam about

it's weird....there's no HQ scans of Anecan August yet :thud

^ the font color you have, and then you adding a heart at the end...the green and red...and fresh @_@ reminds me of apples :roflmao

i don't @_@ want to wait a month for a leak...9/2 release of BALLAD :thud

i think alan is so pretty. everyone else agrees!!

apples and cinnamon

:innocent

i really wanna watch the PV, it'll probably be gorgeous!

Alan released so many singles, then the album, then another single, and then Chinese album...it's going to be hard getting accustomed to a new release schedule :P

I know...once I get another job, I'm going to be broke again ANYWAY since I'll be buying so much of her stuff T_T

it's okay, if you preorder now you can save your money to buy it when it releases in 1 month!!

^Is it hard to get a job? @_@ I'm not being sarcastic or anything. I really want to know. I graduate high school this year...and then its off....to wherever...just wondering...

@4minute Girl Who's that girl on your avatar? .o.

why didnt you get a job at 16? :innocent

To buy Jpop's stuff. XD

oh i finally voted for the poll...i didn't know you can see who voted for which option before you vote

but i said yes :D

i wonder what her blog are about...having read her blog in a week @_@ she didn't announce anything important?

Whatcha talkin' about?? Alan is VERY pretty! :laugh

lol, two people voted for 'no' o.O

LOL :laugh

that's so dumb T_T

lol actually 3 now XD i only know which 2 people voted for no

oh alan seem to be promotion crazy lately @_@ most of her blog entries are about promoting haha

The more promotion the better!

that's a good thing what , Jasmine

I hope the covers for BALLAD .... will be out soon

or else T_T i'll get my pitchfork and march into the avex offices XD

oh anecan august scans are out...HQ scans later *o*

^yipeee!!! :inlove

Is it just me or does this thread move up every time someone votes in the poll @_@

^ yeah it does that, i remember posting a thread about it xD

it's confusing XD i always think someone else posted T_T

^Oh...that explains the Koda Kumi thread too...sometimes I check it I'm like WTH...nobody posted. Maybe AHS is glitched up lmao.

That's HyunA

Sorry, I don't think she's pretty. She has a very plain face and I don't care for her features. Thinking someone is pretty is very subjective, just because they don't think someone is pretty doesn't make them dumb.

It's just like how I think Angelina Jolie is hot, but my friend thinks she's mofo'ing ugly and her lips looks like a baboon's ass.

I think Angelina Jolie is hot. @_@ I think alan is pretty hot too. And gorgeous. I dunno...maybe girls are more vulnerable to jealousy issues :lech

Wow, how did I miss two whole threads? alan's go by so quickly @_@ Thank heavens I don't keep up with Koda Kumi in her threads...those are crazy. Anyway, what's going on with alan lately?

@ Deep River: Rofl. Jealous. That's a new one. Ahaha. No, my friend's a guy.

I think a lot of the outfits Alan wears is pretty but that's about it.

I think it's a bit of an odd single title to name a single "Ballad"...

It's named after the movie. Although, I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse xD.

There are tons of songs called "Love" or "Love song." Isn't that just as weird?

I think it's somewhat humorous, but also simple and sweet.

yay! thanky-thanky:)

this's mainly for waterballoon / Jun Xiang :innocent

but earlier on when I was at Jurong Point , I saw that they were selling Xin De Dong Fang ! & the PG sticker was stuck on the OBI ;___;

Gramaphone's selling it for S$29.95 while Music Junction's selling it for S$32.90

For That CD Shop , it's going for S$33.90

Ah I couldn't resist and brought Anecan August 2009 <3 my first magazine with alan *o* ah happiness

'Do you think alan is pretty?'

What kind of poll is that ( :P )?!

:roflmao:roflmao:roflmao:roflmao

Anyways, alan's in sooo many magazines.

New little promo pic. It's different compared to the first.

^ She looks... dead. :dead2

i really just want to smear some lip gloss on her!...i hope that's not the single cover....maybe alan in a kimono would be nice...

larger pic

I hope that will not be the single covers for BALLAD man

if not I don't know what to say at all T_T

she looks sleepy....but i do love her hair color XD

I actually like promo pictures.
I think they'll fit the song so well.
"BALLAD" sound very very sad & alan looks so pale and hopeless.
The color of BG and her dress are so soft, too. ^^

She looks kinda bland in the promo photo, kinda blending into the background.

Yeah :D I've seen even worse titles~ Everything's good as long as its music is amazing :lech

OH i want the PV of BALLAD.
And alan looks like STEPHANIE IN THAT PROMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ah someone voted again XD

ah so...since there's not much that we can talk about now

which song do you wish that it had a PV, but it didn't

I really would've wanted Sakura Modern to have a PV...I think it'll be pretty...maybe alan in a kimono with sakura petals~

^Well, people seem to hate this song the most out of all the tracks an VoE but I would say Liberty...I really love that song...even though its kinda generic. I think a PV for Liberty wouldve been great. Tsuki ga Watashi...definitely. BRAVE soooo deserves a PV. Yume no Garden...a little bit...like a calm PV...

Hmmm...PVs for Sakura Modern, Tsuki ga Watashi, BRAVE, Yume no Garden..etc...ANYTHING, LOL. Once alan makes a bunch more PVs, ppl like me are gonna start makin fan PVs for songs that dun have official pvs :D

Wow...weird...I was just listening to A-Ballads with iTunes...and the song was Key ～eternal tie ver.～....and I thought I was listening to VoE for some reason...and I was like WTF...what song is this? And then it was like wtheck! Its Ayu! I thought it was alan for like a tiny moment.

<3 I would love for liberty to have a PV, i love yume no garden and tsuki ga watashi...i think her songs are just made to have a gorgeous PV <3

Liberty would be a nice PV!

I also think Shiawase no Kane should get its own PV...i dunno...I kinda think of BoA in the hanbok...

to me , definitely BRAVE should get its own PV

imagine a belly dancing alan xD , ok maybe not haha :laugh

Iunno...I wouldnt mind if that was the cover...its different but I think it fits the song....I'm kinda hoping for another Kuon no Kawa full body shot though....

well when kuon no kawa's promo pic came out...

she's in the same outfit for the single covers @_@

^Good point. @_@ Oh well...I'll worry about the cover when I hear the full song and decide whether to buy it or not :) No need to fret over it now...plus I've liked all of alan's covers so far....my least favorite is like...Megumi no Ame...which was freakin gorgeous :laugh So I'm not worried...

*randomly joins the conversation awkwardly*

Hey! I downloaded her Japanese album the other day, it's fantastic. I love love love love love her singing style. :)

I like the pic posted...it very well could be a single cover... :P
Doesn't have to be fancy I guess.

^Did you try Kuon no Kawa yet? Its glorious...like maybe one of the most epic ballads ever (not biased because of my set LOL)...I'm kinda mad that they didnt let it make the cut for VoE....

^ Oh no! I've not heard that song. I'm still really new to her. The only b-side I've heard is Sakura Modern. :P

^Yeah...Sakura Modern...can't believe that didnt make the cut for VoE either :grumpy.

^ I wonder how much a 20 track CD would cost. XD

Lmfao, megumi no and is my ultimate fave single cover of hers :laugh

Cover for BALLAD~Namonaki Koi no Uta~

o_O , what's up with those pink bubbles on the covers ?

not my fave to date unfortunately but at least she's not doing the open & close eyes issue haha

:shakehead Its not so much her face or the way she looks...@_@ Its that white strip across the top with the two horrid, pink, bubbly thingies...and are those tears near her eyes? @_@ They look kinda forced if so...that aside, I guess the cover was expected. I like the CD only more than the CD+DVD. The covers are really soft and pretty. At least she didnt pull a Sunrise~Love Is All.

The random bubbles and white stripe are unnecessary; the photo itself could do for a lovely cover. Who designs these covers?

^Lemme check *takes a look at Utada's design team* :shrug. Cant figure it out. We'll have to wait till the production credits for Sunrise/Sunset~Love is All are revealed. :P

hmm i like the CD only more. she looks high in the CD+DVD.. and that white bar is really ugly.

i wished i never woke up and saw the covers @_@ wtf! is with that random bar and the pink bubbles!!!!! :thud

i understand that she is supposed to be crying in the CD+DVD....but that tear just feel like so fake @_@

I like CD only...but it kinda seems un-alan-ish. :P

I'm going to start a lengthy discussion here.

Does anyone like the "Tibetan Wail".

(If you don't know what I mean, listen to "Tennyo" or "Voice of EARTH")

I love it <3 just because alan is the only one I know that does it beautifully XD

I love traditional music where singers have the "wailing" or hit those really high notes, so alan incorporating it with pop is a-OK in my book.

Those covers... oh my O_O Ick. The CD only one is the better of the two, imo.

^ Haha ^.^

In the CD+DVD she looks high :tipsy

:thud WTH?? I can't tell which version I want! :laugh

it's weird....avex has lately been making me love the CD only version more @_@

Why is there a white bar?? Do people think that makes it look good :(? I don't understand why most of the time fans are able to make much better covers than official covers :p.

Avex should start hiring their own fans instead of big businesses xD.

I do like the Tibetan wail. :)

I love the Tibetan Wail. :D

The photo used for the covers are waaay better than those promo pics, but what's with the white strip and bubbles? I like the CD only version best.

bubbles??????????
Incomplete covers perhaps??

The bubbles are pretty stupid...
Although alan looks pretty, as always. I just think the bubbles and white strip look like a lazy photographer/designer.

I really like the pictures(especially the CD-only <333), what the hell is up with the pink bubbles.

how come they haven't updated the official site with it? @_@ i'm hoping that the bars and bubbles aren't actually part of the cover....but then that's where the text will probably go~

I'm hoping for alan logo

^ omg yes @_@

they have stopped using her logos since Gunjou no Tani (I think)

it's weird not seeing it being used often now if you ask me
