[alan] 見つめていたい(I Wanna Be Staring At You) in alan 26 thread

[Polyrhythm]

This is a great album. Lots of variety. I just dont like alan+pop. I'm sure Japan will receive this album well though! I hope...

That's what I was hoping for when she started heading in the poppier direction; pop with traditional touches

I wonder if this album doesn't do well she's going to get kicked out from AVEX xD

and then, she will literally go back to Tibet



I also wonder how would she do just as a Chinese pop singer?

[pommy48]

Well judging on some Chinese forums...that's not dedicated to alan

Most people find her average

Just think about xin de dong fang.....cpop will make her even more generic >_<

[Polyrhythm]

If she goes and becomes a C-pop singer I will no longer be her fan. Xing de dong fang was cool and really good, but I am a fan of her because of her Japanese work first and foremost.

[pommy48]

I didn't really like xin de dong fang...i mean even with great music...alan sounds even better in the japanese versions~

in Japan she can stand out...a bit, but in china, she'll just get outshined by other artists

at least avex can package her well~

did hikki ever say why she rejects going?

[pommy48]

I don't think Avex rules the music industry yet...but they should haha

[adantatu2]

I don't like the chinese, i prefer 1000000000000 times the japanese.
Oh c'mon my life YOU CAN DO IT

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

I do prefer her singing in Japanese as well..

thou whatever she decides to do with her career I will try my best to support her

I think she's still figuring out how to do that, you can hear some of the twinges from her more traditional pieces in some songs on this album, so hopefully it'll become a total blend and it'll be awesome <3

Has Avex ever dropped an artist though? due to bad sales?

haha I bet they had xD

but we will never know because they were pretty much unknown by everybody/anybody xD



I think that my life is the best out of my life

[pommy48]

haha ok good...alan won't get dropped~ XD not that i was worried, avex would be a fool to drop her >_>

there's so many songs i love....even shiroi tsubasa now...but nobody knows but me is too....epic imo!

[PoetGirl]

Ok, so I heard it, I'm satisfied with everything on an album except Essence of me and Call my name, I will force myself to like it just cuz it's alan, but how could anyone hide her beautiful voice under that electro arrangement.
nonetheless, i like every other song, its sweet sounding, but I'll be honest. I miss her high notes.

[aloopy]

seriously this album is soo good. I don't understand all the hate lol
the only one I still don't like is Swear.. the rest is just too amazing.
I've been listening to the whole album since I downloaded it XD

[KarenPang]

didn't expect my life to leak out so early D:

going to download it after I'm done with my Pin MUSIC STATION clips xD

i personally really like the electro style ♥

[adantatu2]

She had and has a lot of radio lives and events and few tv performances, i hope good sales.
I'm positive n_n
