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

[KarenPang]

I'm liking all the stuff that she has put out since her debut , I'm considering to order of all her CD only editions of her singles now

it's quite rare for an artiste to put out really good B-sides material aside from their A side material if you ask me

[GRACE]

My alan download thread is revamped, waiting for Kaze no Tegami so I can update >_<

I can't wait to hear more about the water single, that's my focus now lol

[KarenPang]

sorry to double post but the last single containing the water element will be released on 12th Nov ! Received the email update from CDJapan earlier on

From CDJapan :

"New single release from alan and the last part of alan's four-part single release campaign. This time features the theme of water representing love and peace"

I really love alan's Japanese blog She can barely go an entry without mentioning food.

Utena-- thank you for the kanji lyrics! I tried my hand at a translation of Kaze no Tegami, as well. [This is super good practice for me since I just finished up my intensive Japanese summer course and I'm on a little break before the course and regular classes at school...]

If you don't learn by watching others, you'll never see anything
Even though I was always by your side, how could I not realize?

Even if you ran while you wrote the words, it's okay
You only need to say one thing
The feelings you couldn't convey are bubbling up from the ground

I feel your pain
I'll be listening to your heart
Even if we're apart, or if we run out of time
You and I will never be late

I'm embracing your wish
I'm gazing at your future
If someone thinks it, the world can begin to change
The answer is blowin' in the wind

The afternoon breeze that caressed my cheeks has left me
It has traveled far away to you, climbing those hills

The photograph of the young man bound by his duty
The taxi driver in the early morning hours
The small girl who wrote a letter to Santa Claus

Now, call my name, call out to me
(A wind is born, the clouds flow away, flowing back to you, back to your side)
I hope the wind will dry your tears
(Grow your wings, you'll reach love)

I feel your pain
I'll be listening to your heart
Even if we're apart, or if we've run out of time
We're still connected

I'm embracing your wish
I'm gazing at your future
If someone thinks it, the world can begin to change, can begin to shine
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Sounds great otsukare sama deshita pocky-san

[chocopockymaster]

^ Ahahaha, thank you. xD Kagome was considerably more difficult...stupid Japanese language and its assumed knowledge of what the subject is. >__<

Did you realize that you already hold your dream in your hands?
There's no going back anymore. You can't escape from here.

Living in a cage made of woven bamboo,
If I only cry on moonlit nights, will you forgive me?
Despite surviving in this bamboo cage,
When the night of the dawn comes, I'm still waiting for something

You're so gentle, so gentle to me
I don't know the real you

Again, little by little, the commotion disappears
There's no need to continue shielding your eyes as you have

Living in a cage made of woven bamboo,
You'll surely fly again. Believe in that day
Looking up at the stained sky, thinking of the Mountain of the Gods,
Waiting for a new eastern wind to blow
I'm still praying

no idea

as far as I'm concerned , only at most you know the top3 daily sales , be it for single or album

[aqua_crystal]

^^Yeah. Well that's true. But then there must be SOME source to find out alan's sales.

I guess so although like what I said before , only the top3 single/album sales are being revealed/updated , daily wise

it's quite hard to find out the sales tally for the bottom part of the chart

[mcken200]

25 isnt too bad alan is slowly rising up there hopefully with Red Cliff she can reach top 10 or even no.1

[KarenPang]

now's to wait for the covers/title for the water theme single ! I hope they will be really pretty/great just like Kaze no Tegami , RED CLIFF & Sora Uta

[*Petit*]

Yeah, I think RED CLIFF wil do better, however this is rather good for this single. =)
