yep. it is okay to have confidence, but at least use some promotion efforts to build on that for alan's sells, ya know... because avex is a business and you'd think they would try so many strategies to get her sells up. get an alan truck like ayu and start blaring megumi no ame through the streets of tokyo and shibuya

[AyuGAME]

i hope megumi no ame, can enter top20 even just one day...
yay...that red cliff can outsold natsukashii mirai

[GRACE]

Maybe they're saving her promo budget for her album(which, at this point, seems eons away)...?

[cloud♥honey]

^ Hooray for an A Song for XX! XD

[GRACE]

^XD I wouldn't put it past alan to get an A Song for XX effect with her album. She's got her foot in the door and she's not going anywhere for the time being though, her sales are decent and pretty steady between singles, especially since she's releasing so close together, you'd think one of them would have dropped, they've all remained pretty consistent comparing their first week ranks and sales

[AyUta]

#22? Poor alan, she deserves much better sales than this. Hopefully with her next single/album she will get a higher position. I liked the single, it was nice <3 Namida was a pretty song, I loved it.

[Akutenshi]

Why is everyone flipping out about 22? Seriously, last time I checked, that was pretty decent for a single WITH NO PROMOTION, and an artist who hasn't really ever had a big hit to begin with.

[AyUta]

^ Well it's good still but IMO she deserved better, that's all.

that's true I don't think it's fair avex didn't gave her any promo for Megumi no Ame this time round

at most put her on MUSIC STATION or something it wouldn't die

It's not TERRIBLE, but it certainly isn't going to help her gain any popularity; if anything, it risks her selling less and less until she's dropped. I think that's the biggest fear, that avex will stop supporting her if she doesn't sell a lot. But 22 is good with no promotion. I do wish she would perform live more often though; once for this single would have been nice.

*nods*

I think everyone's concern's that if she doesn't improve in terms of single chart & sales wise now , can you imagine what will happen when she release her debut Japanese album ? that will be really worrying

EDIT - yosh I got my copy of the CD only of Megumi no Ame earlier on

head to http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=81355 for scans of it

& the packaging of the single's the same like Ashita e no Sanka & Natsukashii Mirai ~longing future~

ok just in case you don't know what I'm talking about here :



& yes that's all my alan singles <3

[aqua_crystal]

^^Lucky yoU! *is jealous*

Anyways, #22 is not that good a position considering the success of the RED CLIFF movie. But I feel Avex is to blame here. They put ALL their money and effort trying to promote ONE single, that's RED CLIFF. They shouldn't have promoted it that much, I mean, even the movie itself would be promotion enough. They should have focused on her future singles and hopefully, her debut album...

yeah I agree with you on this

maybe because RED CLIFF & Natsukashii Mirai ~longing future~ had major tie in with dramas & movies which explains the amount of promo avex lodged on both singles cos the rest of alan's singles didn't really had any tie in of sorts which's sad

come on EPSON , hook up with alan now

^ haha because for KnT & RED CLIFF the reasons as to why they only imported 1 copy of each was to test the alan market in here as she's someone either you know or don't

guess it's working so far

thanks
anyone has cd+dvd scans ?

[kakumei]

alan mentioned the album in her blog a few days ago, 2008.11.11 she shot the jacket for it, and mentions that it will be released next year. she was also concerned about her skin for the shoot. looks like the album tunes are completed though. can't wait for the album already.

[tsuki_no_hikari]

o i notice too, can't wait for the album

[aqua_crystal]

Ooh!!! Album news, eh? SO, since she's completed all the tunes for the album that probably means no single in between right?
