YAY! New thread! I'm so excited for the Sora Uta single. I feel like it's such a comeback from Natsukashii Mirai (even though I actually liked the song, just not the single).
|
I like Heart, War, so I'm looking forward to the Japanese version.
|
I can't wait to hear Heart War, I haven't heard the Chinese yet so it will be a big surprise for me! =]
|
i LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! heart war, and no one will ever persuade me to not love it!!! really excited for the japanese version!!!
|
Yay for the 4th thread! Her fanbase is really growing at AHS~~:D
I'm worried that HEART, WAR won't sound as epic in Japanese as it does in Chinese, does anyone else feel the same? I know most people are really pumped for the Japanese version EDIT: Could you post a link to GRACE's alan discography in the first post? That way it can be easily accessed by any budding alan fans |
^ I thought the same thing. It probably wont be as epic, but from the clip I heard, it sounded fine :)
|
yeah! i'll post that now!
|

But let's wait! It may surprise us XD |
nice title ^^
can't wait for jp ver of Xin Zhan ~RED CLIFF~, i really like this song :D and i have one question ^^' does anybody know how the hong kong edition of Ashite e no sanka look like? i want to know if obi has chinese title or japanese? ^^' |
Thanks for making the new thread! Looking forward to her new stuff.
|
=D~ I feel special, being all posted at the top~
I hope at least that the Japanese version has a bit of re-arrangement, or at least vocals that don't put you to sleep >.> Heart, War is very pretty, but it's not absolutely amazing. |

|
I really hope her debut album is a CD+DVD release with all her pv's, cause if that's the case I'll buy it...but seeing as she's with avex they screw everyone over all the time.
|
well, her singles are getting CD+DVD releases, so I'd assume her album will as well.
Does anybody have complete sales of all her Avex and releases (including Heart, War?) |
^
Ashita e no Sanka peaked at 69 with total recorded sales of 4729 Hitotsu peaked at 100 with total recorded sales of 1486 Natsukashii Mirai ~longing future~ peaked at 19 with total recorded sales of 9184 Not sure about RED CLIFF or the digital downloads |
i just uploaded alan's chinese single, Xin Zhan ~RED CLIFF~ to megaupload, mediafire, badongo and sendspace because GRACE doesn't have the download in his discography page.
the links are in the name of the single, hehe~ |
SHWOOP revamped first post ;)
|
I don't have Heart, War because I don't own it, just fyi ^^;;... I couldn't find it so I couldn't buy it ;_;...
|
YAAAY!!! 4th Official thread!!! Oh, and Faiza, thanks for the sales!!!

RED CLIFF PV with English subtitles! credit: neuyyar @ Alan World forum~ |
wow thank you!!! *loading...loading...loading* grr hurry up!, i think if you watch red cliff and listen to heart war, you'll get more into the mood and not think it's a boring song~
|
So the Japanese version of Red Cliff will be released in october under the name 'Kokoro Ikusa'. Great :yes
|
Yay for 4th thread! Nice job Zachery! ;) For those of you who are lazy or maybe have slow connections, here's the transcript of the English lyrics provided by sakuraangel @ Channel-Ai (yay! They rhyme.)
心・戰 ~Red Cliff~ Translation Spoiler:
|
A friend submitted a review of "Xin Zhan ~Red Cliff~" to my blog! Please read it...
http://dddaiyamondo.wordpress.com |
wow thanks for the translation
can't wait to hear japanese version of Heart,War kokoro, ikusa eh?! cool title..i think |
whow..did u make that translation...BECAUSE IT RHYMES AND THATS SUPER COOL HAHAHA love the song
|
lol i didn't notice the rhyming when i watched the vid~lol that's so cool~
|
The translation is really good!
was the song originally written in English then translated into Chinese/Japanese? |
^ are you serious? or implying that the eng translations are so good? *really, my mind just can't comprehend these things*
|
I'm seriously asking.
Something like that would be like, impossible to do without it originally being written in English. I mean, That's such a good translation, it's like, perfect. 0_0 |
but the translations are not exact, just rather really close, and the lyrics person is francis lee, who's chinese, and it would be rather much harder to translate from english to chinese, since the chinese lyrics are really old-styled, but if you translate exactly from english to chinese, the chinese lyrics will be more literal, and not as mystical feel i think, the person that translated it is just amazing to make it rhyme
|
the english translations make me find the lyrics much more meaningful and cooler hahaha
|
the translations is so cool~
thanks~ |
Beautiful translation to my favorite alan song!
|
So, Sora Uta will be out in about week! How does everyone think this one's going to sell? I hope we see another jump in popularity like Natsukashii Mirai was.
|
I think it'll end up anywhere between 25 to 40. :yes
|
Quote:
|
Well, Natsukashii Mirai made it up to 19, right? I'm hoping for at least that, but I'd be happy with a little lower if it had to go that way. Sora Uta is a risky song, being so experimental,for her, and with the very polar reactions from people here...
|
I think the sound of "Sora Uta" is much closer to the general jpop of these days, I can see it being a minor hit.
|
If she gets halfway decent exposure she might just get into the top 20 with the skin of her teeth but I'm not holding my breath because Natsukashii Mirai had a pretty big tie in with NHK right?
EDIT: My 500th post finally XD! It only took more than 2 years lmao |
updates at her official site, the "RED CLIFF ～心・戦～" 6th single will be out October 15th, if you reserve at mu-mo you'll get a clear file and a chance at winning an autographed picture.
and different items you can get at various shops for this single: HMV postcard http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/4783/ahmvpfh3.jpg Tower poster http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/8872/atpvo3.jpg |
I want that postcard :)
|
*sigh* So it really is true ;_;... How horrid...
Oh well, it's a good tie-in so at least it'll get people exposed to her, I wish it was a new song instead though ;_;... |
that postcard...i don't think no one will ever use that postcard if they get it lol
|
Thank god it's officially her fire single!
I'm happy! I think it can REALLY REALLY help her chart performance. |
I love the first postcard :yes She looks gorgeous on it! I would love to get my hands on it :weep
|
Ah, the HMV postcard is -drool- I just love her pose. As for Sora Uta, I'm guessing it'll be like Natsukashii Mirai in terms of peak position. As for sales, I think they'll be slightly lower. AND HOLY CRAP! Kokoro Ikusa is going to be released on my birthday! This is soo cool.
|
wow..the post card!!!
|
Red Cliff~Shin Sen~ is up on CDJapan
First Press bonus is a poster! CD-only: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-31492 CD+DVD: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-31491 Also, this tracklist is up on Wiki for the single: 1. RED CLIFF ~Kokoro Ikusa~ (~心・戦~; ~Heart, War~) 2. Xin Zhan ~RED CLIFF~ (心战 ～RED CLIFF～) 3. Ashita e no Senka (Orchestral Version) (明日への讃歌; A Hymn for Tomorrow) Could be wrong though, since it is Wiki |
Wow. The Chinese and Japanse version on one single? That's pretty lame.
Can't wait to see covers. |
I already pre-ordered the CD-only version as soon as I saw it up there XD First press here I come!
|
Aw, both versions on the single? That's a waste IMO :irked
|
Again, it could be wrong, it IS Wiki. I found it strange that they had Shin Sen's track list and not Kaze no Tegami's though...
|
Hopefully it's not true. :no
|
I wouldn't mind the Orchestra version of Ashita e no Sanka though
|
Oh no, that sounds like it would be pretty :yes VERY pretty :laugh
|
Blech, having both versions would be lame. Japanese lyrics at least add a possibly different dimension to the song, since they need to word it so it goes along with the original melody. The orchestra version of Ashita e no Sanka would be interesting. People are silly.
I really hope Kaze no Tegami is a "Sennen no Niji"-esque song. What do you guys want Kaze no Tegami to sound like? |
I want Kaze no Tegami to be a ballad, but unlike the ballads she's done so far, I want it to be sort of a sad ballad. Ashita e no Sanka, Hitotsu and Natsukashii Mirai are all pretty uplifting, I kinda want a depressing song.
|
^ I agree. A sorrowful ballad (maybe something like Heart,War) would be interesting to hear. I'm a little tired of heart warming/uplifting ballads.
|
You both want something depressing? Weirdos... >.>
Spoiler:
|
Depressing full of emotion songs are always the best! They're the songs that artists are remembered for! alan needs one, and one that's actually good, unlike Heart, War >.>... I really hope the Japanese version will be able to turn me on to this song, I currently don't like it.
|
Quote:
|
Heart, War puts me to sleep, seriously x_x... It's just sort of... long, drawn out, and boring.
|
Quote:
|
I'm slightly confused though, is it Shin Sen or Kokoro Ikusa? I personally like Shin Sen.
|
Quote:
|
^But I'll still buy it because I'm a freak like that XD
If I didn't there'd be a hole in my alan collection, since I have the CD-only's of everything else either sitting on my alan table or pre-ordered =/ |
I'm DEF. buying it. XD
|
I hope the covers are nice, so that way the poster will be nice =D
|
I don't think it's lame to include the chinese version of Red Cliff, but if I think that it's taking the space of a possible new b-side, then yes, it's lame!
The song is amazing, I don't see how anyone can fall asleep listening to it :P |
I think she said on her blog that Kaze no Tegami is sort of rock-ish (if I read that correctly).
|
Quote:
|
Quote:
Also, totally unexpected out of a song called "Kaze no Tegami" to be rockish o_O |
Quote:
|
It's nice to hear her experimenting, the uplifting ballad deal can only last you so long >.>
|
Yeah, I'd hate for her to get stuck in that pretty-ballad rut.
|
I wouldn't mind a ballad if she'd do a sorrowful one for a change, but if it was another uplifting one... x_X... But, I'm glad to hear that Kaze no Tegami will be something different
|
Quote:
|
I'd really want to see how she'd do a sorrowful ballad, I'd want it to have a really powerful climax!
|
^ Er, duh! :D Happy=upbeat while sad=ballad in my head.
Kaze no Tegami will be rock-ish? Awesome. |
^Ashita e no Sanka, Hitotsu and Natsukashii Mirai are all upbeat ballads.
|
Quote:
|
^They where uplifting ballads, they weren't sad ballads.
|
Quote:
|
^A song entitled "A hymn for tomorrow" can't be sad lol. From what I gathered (read: think I understand) in Hitotsu, it was pretty uplifting too, and Natsukashii Mirai almost hurt it was so uplifting >.>...
|
Quote:
|
Well, I agree it's not really happy, but it's far from being a sad song
|
Quote:
|
Musically it doesn't seem all too sorrowful to me =/ Maybe that's what's throwing me off
|
Ah yeah, the music doesn't sound too sorrowful at all, I understand what you mean. The melody actually sounds a bit hopeful, in my opinion.
|
Yeah, that's why I'm being thrown off, plus I never read the lyrics ^^;; It's the sound, the lyrics she can do what she wants with, but I don't think she should do another song with that hopeful/uplifting melody for a while
|
Kaze no Tegami will be more rock? 0_o
that's .. different. I can't wait to hear it! |
Oh! Paradise Taste!
