Love the title pommy! ;)


YAY FIRST POST!

lol thanks...XD it's just no fun clicking into the "23rd thread" :roflmao

but anyways :D something for people to look at before i'm done with the first post....hehe you guys know i love to make them extravagant *o*

HQ Anecan October 2009 :D
http://pommy48.surge8.com/alangaller....php?album=105

That Anecan issue is really beautiful, love the one of her sat on the vehicle! :D

me too ♥ she got lots of pages this time! that makes me happy, much much more next time!

my favorite is this one of the top

so sweet and pure ♥

Yeah! I think that alan rocks a "modern woman" look, if that makes sense? :p
Like she always seems to dress sophisticated in a youthful way?

yeah! she does~ for a time i was worried because she kept on wearing ayaka like clothes..but glad that was only for the summer lol

Alan is a beauty. Look at those magazine scans!!! :thud

Yay...new thread!

Oh...now I just remembered about my life..should've made the title swear on my life....lol nvm, 2 song reference is the max lol

I wonder if alan felt lonely for the Moon Festival~

Lovely photos. I absolutely love the outfit she's wearing in the 4th pic, top left <3 Actually, all those heels are great too. Makes me want to buy some, but I'd feel too tall lol.

Moon festival?

I really like the heels in this pic, the one with the black/white spots~

Though alan's makeup still don't look as natural, but I'm glad they toned down the bronzer~

Edit: Also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival
You would get together with your family and eat mooncakes~

Oh, so she didn't spend it with her family? I want some mooncakes!

Well...I don't think she did or she would've posted pictures by now~ Maybe she's getting used to Japan~ probably not as homesick

mooncakes are good. I wonder if she had some...

I personally dont like mooncakes AT ALL...especially the ones with egg in them....ughhh....they taste so gross and on top of that, they're like 389012742374 calories or something and like 2345980430958% cholesterol. My dad and relatives eat them though...oh well...tradition I guess

Haha i know...the calories, I don't like the egg either..but the part around it is good I guess...

Swear already have ringtones out...I wonder if anyone ever decided to connect the parts >_>

Single's out in a month :O can everyone believe it? I wonder if that means the PV is soon

I'd be happy with just single covers xD. I hope they're better than BALLAD's.

Great first post, Pommy!

^ hehe thanks :D

i just wanna see her jazzy dance!!!

love the 1st post! :D

lol, i dont like them either and i only eat the yolk xDD

the pic seemed like there were random patches of blush on her face, so i did this to the pic:

I love the first gift in the first post pommy^^

Pommy! Loving the first post, but how could you forget BALLAD in her discography?!

^ It's funny, I didn't even notice she forgot it and I even read through the list of her singles xD.

I often forget BALLAD was a single :x. Too me it just... doesn't feel like one :x.

alan in Anecan = whoa. She doesn't look weird, finally!

AND OMG SWEAR IN A MONTH. YESSSSSSSSSSSS

am I the only one who's not that terribly excited about the release of Swear & also for her 2nd album as well ? :S

*blame that on so many other new releases for Nov :innocent

^ I'm not really excited for Swear since I already know what the chorus sounds like so half the surprise is kind of gone.

But I'm super excited for her second album! I don't think I was even this excited for her first album xD.

I'm not really excited either...I'm more excited for Nana Mizukis new single, sheduled to be released on 10.28 and its 4 A-Sides, because the first one(and only one yet floating around on the internet) and it's PV are amazing as hell

haha i did forget BALLAD...can't believe how i forgot it >_> :thud

Tsk tsk pommy!

I'm actually pretty excited for Swear and the new album!

lol

well seems like alan is still in the recording studio lately

and she said she recorded with her erhu....so songs with erhu on the albums :luv2 :luv2 :luv2

Ehru!! :D Yay for the ehru, btw, I'm listening to BALLAD and it's actually...REALLY nice. <3

i've been listening to BALLAD a lot lately, it is really nice! I just love how it builds up ♥

wow the new anecan scans look really nice. that's a first lol >.>

also i can't wait to see the covers for Swear. i hope we will get them soon

Yay more erhu songs :D! I hope they aren't all sad ballads though. Despite the many ballads on her first album, they were at least a variety of ballads. Hopefully the new album is a variety too :).

Has she said anything about recording PVs? I wonder if any album tracks will get a PV. I'm hoping at least one does :\.

^ yep, one song will have a dance...and it's jazzy, i'm guessing it's swear

^ Wow that should be interesting! I don't think I can imagine alan dancing jazzy xD.

I wonder if "my life" will get a PV. I'm still praying a video of her singing at TGS 2009 leaks :'(.

well if you think my life will be on the album then maybe, but the single won't have it~

I know the single won't have it, that's what I said before, I wonder if the album itself will have any PVs to promote the album.

Last time we were lucky with VoE since it had all the single PVs, but so far this one will only have 3. That's why I hope "my life" will get one xD.

And doesn't the CD description of her second album specifically name "my life" as being on the album? Back before we even knew there was a song with that as a title. I think it's going to be like... the main song of the album promotion-wise which is why it might be a good candidate for its own PV. Although Tsuki ga Watashi had a drama tie-in and Together ended up getting a PV instead, so who knows xD.

Whatever did happen with that drama? I never heard more about it...did it even have any good ratings?

I kinda wished that Together didn't get a PV..I was hoping for BRAVE or Yume no Garden

Aww looked like some days ago, alan probably got hate messages on her Chinese blog >_<

^ I'm not really sure xD. I guess the drama didn't do too well :\.

A PV for BRAVE would have been amazing! And Yume no Garden could have been beautiful as a PV. I do wonder why Together was chosen :p.

And how could anybody be mean to alan :(??

I can just imagine a beautiful scenery for yume no garden....i also particular love its lyrics~

you would be surprised, i've seen some racist comments toward her, but so proud of her that she's so strong

here's her post to her haters~

yeah same here. i'm much more interested in other releases. alan has this "boring" factor for me.. i wish it'd go away! maybe if she released more awesome upbeat songs like Sora Uta. i am glad the new song seems to be upbeat but from the preview it doesn't seem special or anything. and if the new album tracks are all ballads.. x_x

ok that post really rubbed me the wrong way, what i'm getting from this is that she's stuck-up and really full of herself, i thought that about her quote about being sexy too. i hope it's just the way it was translated or something :/

Wow she handled that very maturely :). Even more reasons to love her!

That's so sad there have been racist comments towards her :\. I don't understand some people.

who would want to hurt alan? :shrug

^ i know! it's ridiculous

and i mean just looking at her youtube comments, people are usually talking about "no she's chinese japanese and other people are no, she's tibetan, she hate china"

blah blah blah.....so annoying

I think it's just the translation to English. I did get that vibe at first, but I don't think she means it in the sense of "Be more like me, I'm awesome" more of like "It's okay if you don't like me, just do what I do and ignore people I don't like".

Yeah that's the meaning of what she said, she's not saying that people should learn to be like her, she's just saying it's good to do what she does because then you would just ignore the people that you don't like

Racists are awful. :S

And yeah, I believe she's not being full of herself.

i see, i wish she wouldn't have commented on them at all though. she's only just giving them the attention they want.. now they know they got to her and are probably happy about it. :rolleyes

Also about her "sexy" quote

I get some people may get the feeling that "I'm just a wonderful singer, I can just sing and that's all that people need to love me"

But the feeling is more of that "I'm a singer and that's my job, I sing and posing suggestively isn't part of my job as a singer"

edit: Lots of people are posting about that entry that she shouldn't have done it and I agree~

But here's a hateful comment

"Read this blog entry
I've decided I'm going to really hate on you
You're really a brainless vase"

It does hurt alan a lot because she does go through and read her comments~ There's going to be a lot of people like these and even though it's difficult, but she need to learn to take her own advice and ignore these people

omg, I do apologize, but that made me laugh out loud.

i don't see how that's funny :shrug that's a pretty low hateful comment. and i agree with what you said pommy, she should take her own advice. to me it seems weird to hate on alan though, it's like picking on a little puppy or something.

That's horrible! I can't believe someone could be so mean to alan!

Is this on her Chinese or Japanese blog though?

gosh! i would never hate on alan! people shouldnt do so either! > _ < :no

I think the anti-hater message is just once, i dont think she'll post another one. starting then, she will ignore the haters ^^

ah.. this makes me think how some people in this world can hate for no damn good reason -___-

it's on her chinese blog but maybe japanese....if you know japanese, then you can read the comments~

beautiful scans. :yes

yes~! :smitten

alan you are a BRAINLESS VASE!

:rolleyes

I really don't get haters of any singers/celebrities... it's just kinda pointless you know. alan could probably afford the LV bag that I've always wanted... :weep

haha she probably can...i somehow remember a picture of her with a burberry bag....

^ yeap she has the classy look to pull it off!

Sorry...but why is VASE insulting in Chinese? O_O

it means that you're just something nice to look at, you contain nothing inside

Ohhhhh! I get it. Seriously, a five year old could think of better slurs. :\

Ehh, I hope alan just lets the comments wash over her but people are really stupid. :\

yeah, that's seriously one of the rudest comments you can give to someone imo

yeah...it's really just an awful thing to say about anyone >_>

oh i saw this interview of alan, and she said the concerts in January will probably have 20 songs

:luv2 :luv2 :luv2

the concert might be 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours long

woahh!!! 20!!! :luv2

edit: so...which interview would that be?

the interview when she was promoting orient of the heart in shanghai

Twenty songs! :thud
That's quite a lot, I really hope it's recorded! Do you think she'll have elaborate costumes/theme? Or more toned down?

I think just a simple dress(es) hopefully :yes

I want Tibetan clothing! :)

i like how she has taken it. love the post to the haters.

^ ikr! haha

20 songs hmm... I hope she will perform less of VoE and more from the newer album

I hope that she'll play the erhu at her concert. :laugh

^ i hope so too! nada sou sou ♥

new promo pic

omg is that alan? I went to pee while the thread loaded and I was like O_o at that pic and my mind went "huh??", and I saw "alan" and I was like :thud

She looks so different, but it's quite a cool look. Fitting for Swear I guess

wow that's unexpected

tie & dye job are works of art to me

Alan is SO SEXY

alans visual style is getting more diverse, thats nice^^

WOW, awesome promo pic. I guess it's for Swear, then?

omg she looks so hot

Oh my god! I literally gasped when I saw that picture!

She looks so pretty!!!!!

I hope they do the same style for Swear covers <3!!!!!!!!!

Tie dye, LOL :P

Tie dye style is HAWT.

alan alan alan what did they DO to you....

I'm not feelin' the pic, it's just... not her

lol this thread is going fast too!! xD

aint we all "alanfags"?? ^^

For a moment I was a little upset because I feel like they were trying to make her sexy and... not the sweet alan we all love.

But I just really love the flow of that picture. Everything blends and flows <3.

i don't like the pic, it looks very cheap, and tie dye shirts are so tacky

She kinda looks like a hippie on LSD but ok...yay for new promo pics and new alan style

i don't like the shirt...but everything else is ♥

Well, looks great !!!!!!!!!!
It's something diferent but i want the old alan.......T_T

>_>...what's that gonna be then! oi the anticipation T_T

Ohhh that sounds interesting! First, jazzy dancing and now, an alternative version! They seem to like this music video xD. Hopefully it's better than BALLAD's :(.

haha XD i don't know how it can get more simple than BALLAD...

To be simpler than BALLAD she'd have to be standing in front of a white wall singing to the camera the entire time xD.

I miss her element PVs. I loved all of them <3. Omg and Hitotsu. Hitotsu's PV was beautiful. Another under-appreciated aspect of the single :p.

Does anyone have a link to the song preview?

^ for swear?

well it'll sound something like this
