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?

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 >_<

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.

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~

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

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.
