[alan] Sorrow Sleeps in alan's 35th Thread

[Mirrorcle Monster]

The performance was so great she sings like in the studio version

[pommy48]

^ Yes! That's why I love alan so much! she sounds so good live and sometimes her live performances are so much better than the studio version like sign at voice of you! <3

[Piccolo]

alan deserves more sales!

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

I think that we should all do something, at the end of the day, we are the ones who alan's faith depends on because we are the ones who buy her music and listen to her.

So why not try to convey to Max or to I don't know who (alan's manager or something?) that she needs to feature with other artists more often (in my opinion), or get stronger tie ins, or even try to explore the market outside Japan?? Who knows.

Maybe we should all give ideas so we come up with something that we all agree and start spamming twitter to Max about it??



I'm sure we could work something out together

[Mirai Noah]

The performance is wonderful!

[dreamland2.0]

Music Japan performance was so perfect!!
I've decided to buy the single, even though I like to wait for albums, I want to support alan!!

@ SURREAL__RAINBOW: I think the problem lies with the tie-ins themselves...We have seen tie-ins helping with the sales a lot like with Kuon no Kawa and Kuon no Kawa didn't even have a b-side like her recent singles with tie-ins for both the a-side and the b-side~
Avex needs to realize it doesn't matter how many tie-ins a single have, the tie-in itself is really important too! Don't just stick alan to any historical movie (which is a problem too...alan is still attracting the old men! )
I'm not saying for alan to act all cute, but just do something, so she appeals more to the general public and not all of the old men

So about tie-ins......quality > quantity
It doesn't matter if she has a bunch of tie-ins if the tie-ins themselves aren't strong enough to make people notice the music.

alan's sales are rather consistent and pretty good compared to other artists, but her sales still aren't good enough because her popularity just isn't high enough. Avex did a lot more promotion with this single, but the same thing...getting alan to sing at some firework event or just getting her on radio shows still isn't big enough for most people to notice her.

And I can't see other music markets in Asia for alan to try...unless she wants to break into the Korean music market? She's actually doing pretty good in China~ So not a lot to complain about there...

The things that we're worried about...I'm sure that her manager and Max knows about it~ So better not to spam him with it...(However...if you ever feel like spamming him about alan symphony 2010...I'm all for it! )

@ GRACE: Pictures?!!! *o*

[adantatu2]

#33 with 385 copies today
Estimated Total Sales:3056
Better than Swear, yay (at least)!!!!

Probably she can be the #23 weekly, but we have to wait for the official sales and peak.

note:... this is according to natsu style

a collab. with some artist is a good idea, it could help alan in the future (alan feat. Kana Nishino ?? alan feat. Ayumi Hamasaki ? alan feat. BoA?, mmmmm.)
But i don't know how i can use twitter yet.

Don't just stick alan to any historical movie (which is a problem too...alan is still attracting the old men! )

You're right pommy, she did a lot of songs for movies, she need something new for the general public

[waterballoon]

She needs a tie-in with a drama or movie that stars one or more of the members from ARASHI.

[GRACE]

I'll take pictures after class tomorrow, I have my CD-only in the car since I have to go early in the morning

I love both the songs so much, this might be one of her best singles *___*

I also got my rerelease of Love Moonlight with it, I like the packaging for the rerelease a lot more than the packaging for the original, it's bulker and sturdier

The CDs themselves are orange, I was surprised :O

[pommy48]

Yay awesomeness!~! ♥ Thank you!

Haha I was surprised by the orangeness too! I didn't expect it to be that orange

[MemorialAddress]

LOL pommy, I was thinking the same thing about Piccolo xD
I saw his post and was like

I just watched that performance tsubasa posted... she is so amazing!!

[pommy48]

^ Haha it's a miracle right?

And anyways....back to my point about alan attracted middle aged men...
http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjE1ODAzNTA0.html

That was from her live yesterday~ And at the end, they just briefly ask people for their opinion...and well...you'll get my point

[dreamland2.0]

^Beautiful!!! LOL at the clapping during Gunjou no Tani xD
OMG though one girl and a whole bunch of guys xD
Ah well as long as they buy her cds xD
She was so cute at the end ;D

[adantatu2]

She is really cute, and woww, guys in their 30's and 40's watching the performance is awesome? and creepy
