:loveHappy discussion.:):love

*gasps* you made a thread without going through the whole

"nah i don't want to do it, i think "insert name here" should do it"

and people go on for some posts XD

Let's hope alan can get that #1 Weekly someday :3

:lech I know. For whatever reason, I just couldn't wait for the 500 posts... A new thread would be nice and fresh..:)

umm you know that you're not supposed to hotlink images on AHS right?

:shakehead Oops, I don't know that. I'm so sry.:thud

I'll remove that pic then.

nah it's no problem~ most people don't know


why did we never get HQ scans of the cover, it's always that crappy quality?

I think it's becuz of the website. Usually they reduce the quality of the pictures while uploading...:irked

oh not from wikipedia, from anywhere...maybe they should update her official site, then we'll have HQness of the KnK pic

omg, i had tons of trouble findin hq knk pics >_<

i don't think they ever existed

oh you guys know that alan will be going to the MTV video music award japan right?

Um an off-topic question.... what's hotlink lol

That means you post something on somewhere...:)

here's the thread about it
http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29888

Interesting... lol I swear I have never seen hotlinkings around, or maybe I just have never noticed!

^ well you can only know if you check the properties of the picture

but i have seen my share of hotlinking on here~

^ So we can upload them to photobucket and post them here?

yeah just use your own link

the new thread title's fantastic & I love it that it gives me a chance to practise my chinese haha xD

THX Karen. And we can practise a little bit Chinese here. 你会说多少国语, 会写多少汉字 My Chinese is not very good either.:D

lol but still try to be on topic about alan :P

anyways....i wished that she would perform at the MTV VMA~ would be epic <3

I watched Red Cliff last night and I was so bored (no offense to those who liked the movie)...but the battle scenes were cool and I watched through the credits (durrrrr).

aw man i still need 2 watch those red cliff movies!

The theater version of KnK had three tracks, it also included Kuon no Kawa (End Roll Version), just fyi :3

I'm glad to hear her single isn't canceled anymore, just postponed~

yay for new alan's thread!

nice title teemo:yes

uhmm does anyone have.. Chi Bi ~Da Jiang Dong Qu~ (End Roll Version)?
i never heard it before :weep

You can download it here. Be advise it's the whole End Roll single. If you just want the song tell me and I'll upload it for you.

^lol. The End Roll just refers to the version of Kuon no Kawa that was played at the start of the credit roll.

Besides I don't think Avex would let alan cover "End roll" since alan and Ayumi are being compared to one another. Or since they were being compared to one another. IDK if people are still doing it.

ah thanks alot for the link. never heard the end roll versions before. i like them :)

Thank you aloopy!^^

Anyone got her next single's name?:mischief

yes I can & I managed to read what you type in Chinese :D & don't worry my chinese's also not that good too :laugh

not that I know of :( I wish I know it though

i don't like the red cliff movies....not really that special anyways, but oh well, big tie-in :luv2

LMAO don't worry Jasmine I'm also not big on epic setting movies too xD but yeah it has helped alan A LOT to a certain extent

Let's hope people haven't forgotten her since KnK xD. I want her next single to do well too :). And it's only postponed now? Not cancelled?

well seeing how the last thread felt like it moved very slowly toward the end @_@..and my post per day decreasing since i post here the most @_@.....yeah :D

^mirrorcle world initiate! cool~

Weekly
80　1,155　alan

What are the sales now for Kuon no Kawa?

^34,344

^ 34,344 copies ^^

^Thanks.
This sold 30,000 more than gunjou no tani

Oh, new threads. I always end up running afterwards, trying to find them xD But I'm here now.

Wow...30k more than Gunjou...that number is just so mind-boggling.

@_@ that's just amazing

i rediscovered my love for gunjou no tani again..well i was in love, now i'm like REALLY IN LOVE, everything about the song is perfect, the music is brilliant, alan is brilliant, the PV is brilliant

wow! i just thought of something, 2 and a half more weeks, i'll be able to get my hands on my VoE, since my dad ordered it in Taiwan

i'll be sad, i won't have internet, so i'll miss everyone here :bawl

^ I didn't know you didn't get VoE yet, I always thought you had it already.

Hope you have fun in Taiwan, how long you going there for? Are you going to also get KnK single while you're there? ;)

And yeah, I love Gunjou no Tani also really much. PV is just so beautiful. *__*

well i do have it...just not in my possession at this very moment, it's probably in a drawer at my house in taiwan~

i'll be gone from june 8th till..august 13th? i think, so basically my entire summer vacation :D

and of course i will!!! we must support alan

the scenery is just amazing and i love the director that directed it, but cocco really is amazing, GnT won't be so amazing if not for her composing and etc.

^ Oh ok, I see.

Noo... you're going away for so long, and without internet access. :weep

Hope you enjoy your vacation there, I've never been to Taiwan before, but I would like to go there maybe in the future, hehe. :)

And yeah, Cocco did a really good job on the song. ^^

I saw the last dvd part of VoE Dvd, where it has the making of GnT PV, and I love it. alan is so cute. ^^ I'm going to go watch it again now, lol.

maybe i can get my dad to take me to internet cafes...or i'll just "borrow" my neighbor's unlocked wireless internet :innocent

i even made a goodbye thread last time thinking i will be cut off from the internet for 2 months, so i was extremely embarrassed still posting so much even when i didn't have internet XD

it's a great place!! <3 shop....shop...shop :luv2

she really is! i was wondering, do you guys prefer the original version of GnT or the acoustic?

it's really hard for me because she sound amazing in both, but the acoustic have the erhu...you would have to kill me first before i can choose XD

WHAT???! THERES A TAIWAN VERSION OF VoE????? Sorry...I'm just shocked to hear that...I might be going to Taiwan this summer! :o Seeing grandparents, ladi-da-di-da w/e....the only thing I hate about Taiwan is that I cant breathe there....Im always gasping for air cause its like trying to breathe in water or something >_< If I see VoE, Im definitely getting it.

yep, CD only and CD+DVD <3....i hope i'm lucky enough to find the CD only FP...i want those photobooks lol

it is extremely hot @_@...and yay...my dad want to take me mountain climbing...i am looking forward to hiking for 5 hours....>_> he bribed me and got me namie's best fiction

are you taiwanese?

I dont think I'm taiwanese...my dad grew up in Taiwan but he speaks Mandarin Chinese and my mom went to university in Taiwan but she's from Laos. Soooo I just tell my friends I'm Chinese, cause thats what I speak at home.

haha thanks! and i hope people will email >_> i understand that no one would want to email me the last time i made that thread...i barely knew anyone :roflmao

i do somehow wish that alan will suddenly realize she love taiwan and have a mini-concert...oh a girl can dream ;)

@ Jasmine - avex Taiwan only manfactured the CD + DVD of VoE & not for both editions unfortunately :(

http://www.avex.com.tw/4th/artist/ar...875279&anamec=

& YAY you're going back to Taiwan which only means 1 thing for the both of us

same timezone :roflmao

Can anyone suggest me good songs from Alan?:) I wanna recommend them to my friends.

WHAT NOOOOOO...bah then my dad told me the wrong thing, guess CD only isn't that great anymore T_T, they're only making the CD+DVD of KnK too

Ashita e no Sanka, Sora Uta, Gunjou no Tani

also..
sakura modern, red cliff, kuon no kawa, tsuki ga watashi, BRAVE, yume no garden, kagome.. etc :D

^I'd buy Ashita e no sanka but I can only pay with cash :(

^You should keep it. You'll regret it later on. I'm pretty much out of cash ATM anyway. Maybe WAYYYYY later on like christmas or something. :P

been lurking into this thread for a while XD

too bad, the single is cancelled, avex likes to choose the best date for their artist, i guess

thats interesting! i've seen a lot of overseas-chinese in this forum!

I think only the more popular avex artistes will have both editions of their singles/albums be released in Taiwan

at least avex Taiwan made an OS press for VoE already . Remembered the time when everyone was so anxious about this ?

everything LMAO :lmfao

LOL

was I the one who recommended you on that seller , Temmy ? :laugh

Taiwan press for Kuon no Kawa's officially out from today onwards - http://www.avex.com.tw/4th/artist/ar...75279&cateid=2

:D

oh...i just watching alan's latest live that was...eh...definitely not her best @_@
from the asian film awards

edit: yay! life <3 one of the most underrated songs!

THX so much guys.:D I sent some songs that you recommended to him and he said that he loves all these songs, he might also be a fan of her..

^^

How do you say alan? I say it ah-lawn....but Ive heard some say Al-in

i say it as what a lan will sound like in chinese...don't know why some people pronounce it really weirdly though...

a lan like pommy said.

omg what was with her voice on asian film awards. :/ it was akward. was she sick or something.

^9/10 times she does the wail in Ashita e no sanka perfectly in her lives....she has to fail sometime....guess that award show was her time....with how big the award show was she probably just got a bit nervous and overshot her pitch. Oh and Chinese version of Gunjou no Tani??? HUH? @_@

i hope she was nervous, cuz i know ill be worried if she's sick. i love her too much. (i sound crazy).

AENS can either make or break in a live performance....but yeah what about visible love?

LOL

i wont mention my visible love in alan thread

lol i wish there was an official translation or something of the song XD visible love is so...literal >_> :roflmao

Is her newest single seriously cancelled?
Any news about when we'll get another single??

yes it's

CDJapan , YesAsia & HMV Japan's links have all been removed , sadly

But it was confirmed that the single was merely delayed to redo somethings, she said it on her blog or something.

oh really ? I must have missed that if that's the case

has anyone seen the back cover for CD + DVD's of Kuon no Kawa ?

http://i429.photobucket.com/albums/q...0/DSC02256.jpg

nice !

Is it the one that you bought?0.0

VMAJ 2009. She looks good (always does) but I dont really like the outfit.

How can you not love that outfit, I think it's pretty <3 I wish they did something else with her hair though

nope the one I bought's the CD only

the back covers for both editions for Kuon no Kawa's different

yeah I like the outfit it's nice but her expression in the 2nd pic's a bit o_O

she looks great x3 and even if I don't like these sparkling outfits *hope you know what i mean xD* this one is great <3

oh i thought i posted the single scans for KnK a while back? maybe i forgot~

everything is so gold @_@

@_@

I think you did Jasmine ? I honestly can't remembered though :dead2

oh wait! maybe i didn't post here, i think i posted at alan love...oh crap that reminds me XD i need to update that forum

^lol. yeah..
i havent went on for like months already :thud

i guess i just lost interest because no one really tried to make new threads...so i stopped visiting too...

not much new alan news either :(
alan world is gettin slow too.

Sorry if this was asked before, but are the "Red Cliff"s on her new single new songs or just other versions of her fire single? I just found her 2 days ago so i dont know xD

:thud so cute. I love her dress *.*

it's basically the same 2 songs found on her RED CLIFF Shin Sen single

I think avex wanted to include them in Kuon no Kawa again in a bid way to cash in of sorts

oh, i already wanted to download them because i love that song so much xD

OMG! i love the dress! if i were a girl i would wear it everyday!
she looks great!

:laugh

I suggest you download Kuon no Kawa , it's pointless for you to download RED CLIFF Shin Sen because you can find the Japanese & Chinese takes of the song in Kuon no Kawa itself

so you're basically killing 2 birds with 1 stone in here

wow, alan wins for the best outfit, she looks like a princess

^ Definitely agree. alan looks really adorable. I think she rocks that dress.

It feels kinda funny now. I've been so used to running after every single thread in the Five Elements days, and now it's...normal :lol

Her outfit's not too bad. She's pretty, of course. :D
