i really like the b-side! its been awhile since i heard this type song..
the a-side is so Chinese..those folk songs

haha

its nice to have a chinese in the market with China style...kinda fresh

how old is she??

I really like "Ashita e no Sanka" it's so... calming. I love how she uses her voice as well :yes

It took me forever to load her website, but finally I got to listen to the previews. I like both songs. :cool

She actually doesn't sound that chinese.

It's more Tibetan or Mongolian rather than Chinese. So much for stereotypes eh? Hmph.

Well since Inner Mongolia and Tibet are currently considered part of the PRC, everybody who said she sounds Chinese isn't that far off :innocent

As others have mentioned, I wonder why they picked the name Alan for her?

I thought Mongolian when I heard the PV preview as well actually. I hardly think it's a crime to think it sounded Chinese though. Some traditional Chinese music isn't way far off from her sound, and I wouldn't really call that stereotyping.

Well, if only someone made mention of it being Chinese Traditional Folk, then it would probably be more accurate. It's annoying when people just slap labels like that without getting clear their genres, since Chinese music nowadays doesn't sound anything like that.

She's got a good voice, but I think her official website is scary. Her face is just HUGE on that homepage!

when you browse the site, the top picture looks so ugly >.< but, her voice is so cool! I'm in love with that preview :luv2

the PV reminds me a lot of madonnas "Frozen" video ... her voice is indeed really high but I like it how it goes with the music ... not as annoying as Ai's high_pitching_making_my_ears_bleed voice

maybe it's because not everything revolves around the english language?:innocent I mean, Miriam is a perfectly fine name for a woman in Portuguese language, and might as well be in other languages.

anticipating this release...
i wonder here this Chinese Tradition merged with pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~

I'm not saying that Miriam is an awful name, I actually like it since it's unique. I was just pointing out how interesting Record Labels give chinese/mandarin singers foreign stage names.

>.> I could understand Miriam and maybe Elva but Jolin is a pretty name....
Anyway yeah Alan is a boy name and it's kinda weird that her name is Alan... I like her songs from the previews though. o.o

I like traditional Chinese music so I'll give her a try ^^

ahe scares me..her high pitched voice..*shakes*

Oh I see, I get it now!:yes

How is Miriam weird sounding in English?

exactly. i don't think it's a weird name. lots of jewish girls have that name, trust me, lol. it's a pretty name.

I just looked at her website (Which is nice) and I most say that I'm qutie impression. Her voice is so moving and it puts me in a calming mood. I like think from what I can hear of it.

On her looks:
She reminds me of BoA! I don't know why but she just do.:shrug

Oh her voice:
She reminds me of Ayu. lol It's the way she holds her notes. Their simaliar to Ayu's notes...despite there voices being different!!!!
