Not sure about first statement, but second is completely false. Yes it did take 1.5 years for Avex to sign her after the audition but that was because she was still in army arts school and it was against college policy to have a pro contract, so Avex waited for her to graduate. During the process Avex brought her and her mother to Japan 3 times and paid for all expenses as her parents initially strongly opposed her to have a pro career in Japan. (alan was secured a seat in the government owned Arts Troupe after graduation, which was secure, highly paid and got to be on national TV quite a lot, of course, singing mostly propaganda songs...)
I was the one who posted the song on imeem, but I don't like it too much either. I love the crescendo part in the middle, but that's about it. The ending is a little too boring and some parts too harsh to the ears almost. But haters keep in mind it was written more for Taro Iwashiro and "Red Cliff" than alan. She was just lucky to be part of it and I have no doubt it will sell well -- at least much better than these 2 latest songs...
