[alan] The 22nd alan Thread

[pommy48]

beauty might sound upbeat too~

and looks like alan will have a small appearance in the MAC pamphlet? It's a limited good...

and she collects miss bunny (the female bunny from Bambi)

and looks like she might get inspiration from just walking outside...

yeah that's about the kinda interesting things from her blog~ *hoho finally caught up with her japanese blog*

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

the new single' names sound exciting! I wish they sound like something she haven't done yet *hopefully*

anyway I'm in love with alan and I'm happy that AVEX trust her soo much and releases heaps of stuff for her lol hopefully she is going to become big not only in Japan but in all Asia ^^

[Maemi]

New upbeat single? Finally they got smart!

you know what i love?! when you type alan in youtube, alan actually comes up XD it's such a common name, i have to type extra things in google when i want her to come up haha

omg, i HATE that. i remember when i was an alan noob and i typed her name into youtube search and i was searching through pages and pages because it's such a common name, especially for men.

^ haha yeah and you would always keep getting some guy named alan jackson XD

[Aozora]

I kind of hope Swear or maybe even Beauty gets another tie-in. I fear for Swear's sales already considering the release of her second album only a couple weeks later. It's also her first single not to have a major movie tie-in since Gunjou no Tani :\.

[pommy48]

hmm i think that swear probably won't sell...but i hope it does....

[Aozora]

I guess as long as her second album sells well she'll be good. I just want her to be able to survive on her own without constant movie tie-ins since they're only going to be available for limited amounts of time. She's been pretty lucky so far xD.

Hello~ ^o^

I'm new to alan's music - I asked Pommy about her and I have most of her music now <3 I love so many of her tracks! *o* They've been on constant repeat! xD At the moment my favourites are: 懐かしい未来 ～longing future～, ひとつ, 明日への讃歌 and 空唄 ^-^

Pommy recommended this thread, so I thought I'd come and post - so hi everyone *o* xD

[Aozora]

Hey Koumori! Glad that alan has another new fan !

All of those are great songs! I love Hitotsu also, although it seems to be one of her most unappreciated songs :\. My favorite is Shiawase no Kane <3.

[NintendoHTF1242]

懐かしい未来 ～longing future～, ひとつ

Those two songs are also my favorites <3 I'm happy to know someone who appreciates those tracks XD

[pommy48]

yay koumori, you're finally here XD

seems like some of your favorites are more of the under-appreciated alan songs~

have you listen to sign yet?

i've been obsessed with it lately ♥♥♥

[koumori]

Awwh, thanks for the welcome everyone ^__^

I didn't know the songs were under-appreciated *o* Which ones are really popular then? ;OO

POMMY!! sign is a song I had on repeat all day on Thursday! *_* I forgot to add it to the list..LOLL xDD Yes, it's so..soothing to me o-o; I was walking around busy all day so it was a nice background music in my ears xD

[pommy48]

i guess sora uta and ashita e no sanka?~

oo great!!! , it's such an amazing song/interlude?, i love how alan is in the background singing and there's just the vocalizing so alan doesn't overwhelm you *o*....so...so..amazing

[Aozora]

I didn't know the songs were under-appreciated *o* Which ones are really popular then? ;OO

Her best selling have been Natsukashii Mirai ~longing future~, RED CLIFF ~Shin-Sen~, Kuon no Kawa (which peaked daily at #1 !), and BALLAD ~Namonaki Koi no Uta~.

Hitotsu was her worst selling single and peaked at #100 on Oricon .

[pommy48]

>_> hitotsu is brilliant...wish people would've loved that single more, but the covers scare me lol, it's all the hair!

Yes - it's like..this calm in the middle of the alan vocal storm ! xD You get so overtaken by her powerful voice and then she shows you this other side which is all making the music be at the front instead *o*

The Classical ver. of 明日への讃歌 that was on the RED CLIFF single is on repeat on my iPod as well at the moment xD I can see why those are popular, but they don't stand out for me as much as the others do at the moment >o>;

HOW COULD IT HAVE ONLY PEAKED AT #100?! T-T That sucks ._.

[pommy48]

^ yeah ♥ sign is just absolutely amazing...slowly it'll creep into my top 5 alan songs

i really like the orchestra version of ashita e no sanka, but the orchestra overpowers alan a little, she kinda gets lost in all the music

oh have you learned the romaji spelling of her songs yet?

I actually love the covers xD. But yes, I wish the single did better than that :\. Let's hope alan never goes back to selling that little!

[mcluva420]

lol, to me, Hitotsu was one of her worst @__@ the cover is scary too but the overall single was good
