High Quality, 320kbs CD Rips done by me, and links to high quality rips of the elusive cover albums. Please comment if you take anything!

omg she has...14 threads already?! hahaha

We'll get it in 2 days <3 or earlier i hope <3

lol keeping it simple

BUT OMG!!! the leak is out, but damnit!!!!!! grr it!!! @_@...my points are not up yet

Okay, so, I just listened to her for the first time today and I love her. Her voice is beautiful! I wish I had discovered her sooner.

^ it's never too late!
so glad that more people are loving alan!!! she truly is amazing!! seems just like yesterday when my heart stopped after listening to ashita e no sanka *o*

Bigger pic from official site

Spoiler:

Oh yeah, in that picture alan is doing a buddhist ritual gesture. The one she's doing is Vitarka mudra(symbol of the transmission of buddhism).

ah! thanks for the explanation! just make the cover more beautiful..i wonder if someone can photoshop the cover to make the nails better.....

I think the nails make the cover look simple yet beautiful at the same time.

Wow, I must say that alan looks quite elegant in that pic. I like that one a little better as it shows some of her body rather than just her face.

neuyyar has also confirmed that Tennyo does have Tibetan singing in the background much like sign

Quote:

1:57-2:03 "Jha say trung rung khamo"
This is the first line of one poem written by Tsangyang Gyatso the 6th Dalai Lama in the 17th century.
Quote:
bya de khrung khrung dkar mo (Hey there, white crane)
nga la gshog rtsal gyar dang (Lend me your agile wings)
thag ring rgyang la mi ‘gro (I'll not go too far)
li thang bskor nas slebs yong (Just around Lithang, then I'll be back)
This poem which was about his forced return to Kham (Lithang mentioned in the poem is only about 200km away from alan's hometown) is very popular that and you can hear it here and here just to list some examples sang by common people.

2:03-2:07, also 2:12-2:17 "Om mani mani padme hum" ?
THE Tibetan mantra. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Om_mani_padme_hum

2:07-2:12, also 2:17-2:22 "Lama la kyap su chio"
It's one of the more famous Tibetan chants/prayers, based on the Tibetan Buddhist concept of "Refuge" and "Four Jewels". Read this if you are interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Jewels
Quote:
Lama la chap su chio (I take refuge in the Lama)
Sangye la chap su chio (I take refuge in the Buddha)
Cho la chap su chio (I take refuge in the Dharma)
Gendun la chap su chio (I take refuge in the Sangha)

Other parts not sure at this point.

^ Wow, those lyrics sound beautiful...I still haven't listened to it, and I don't think I'm going to. I just wanna wait for the full album to leak :D.

reposting from the other old thread. these are reviews from a member in ayuchina who had heard the album

Quote:

1.天女～interlude～
这个是神曲!!!(虽然只有10几秒>_<'')纯粹的用藏音飙高音,荡气回肠,和明日への讃歌完美衔接～超级推荐!!!
Translation: although it's less then 20 secs, but this track is just GREAT! ful of tibet feel, it is so suitable for the next track

7.BRAVE
alan本人说是出道之前就唱过的一首歌,和空唄的风格相似,是pop＋异域风情,藏音的部分有做电音处理 ,蛮好听的曲子～超级推荐!!!
Translation: alan said that this song was sung before she debut, it reminds of 空唄, with tibet feel. Strongly recommend song!

8.夢のガーデン
比较激荡的抒情曲,就是很大气的那种感觉,但是其实我觉得没有传说中那么好听,算是中规中矩的 J-POP曲吧...
Translation: a typical jpop ballads, not as i expected, but it's fine.

10.my friend
慢悠悠的曲风,alan唱的也很清,好像只要是和friend有关的歌都是这个感觉?!请参考 BoA的Be st Friend或者大塚愛的Always Together,就知道是什么感觉了～
Translation: a soft song, it reminds me of Boa's Best Friend or Ai Otsuka's Always Together.

11.Liberty
这个歌很多人都听过了吧...我觉得是15首里最不好听的...曲子本身没有特色又没有发挥出 alan声音的特质...
translation: i suppose a lot of people had heard this song, i find that it's the worse out of all 15 tracks, there's nothing special and it fail to brng out alan's talent.

12.月がわたし
这个也是神曲!!!我本人大爱中国风,所以完全抵抗力～很有月下江南的感觉,非常清新悠扬,居然是alan 自己写的真是不可思议...超级推荐!!!
translation: another great song! I really love oriental music, this song is just my taste and i'm very impressed that it's compose by alan, amazing! strongly recommend!

15.Together
这个是和my friend一样风格的歌,但是更慢更催眠,真的适合睡觉的时候听,编曲有使用三弦,所以有一点冲绳民谣的感觉～(话说前一段时间alan好像也去了冲绳,不知道和这个歌有没　有关系...)
translation: this song have the same feel as my friend, it's just even slower and lke a lullaby, very suitable when you are going to bed. This song have a okinawa feel(could this be linked to alan's trip to okinawa a while ago?)

^ Isn't the first track more than 3 minutes long though? What do they mean "less than 20 seconds"?

that's because this member reviewed it from the ringtones he downloaded @_@ so it's not really a complete review

Exactly ._.... and "generic jpop ballad"... Judging by the file that LacusClyne uploaded, I think that whoever wrote this must have somehow gotten A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes instead of Yume no Garden ._.

Gosh I really want this album, I didn't even realize that it's going to be out sooner than I though, I seriously though it wasn't coming out until the 25th! Glad I checked it out today :)

Shouldn't it leak tonight? o.o For sure tomorrow because that is the release date :D
