[alan] you must swear that you love alan for her Beauty before you enters her 24 thread xD

[zyoeru]

Isn't it Alan's full given name Dawadolma?

[nemesisyume]

I think it's alan dawa dolma

[IYFreak]

^ Yea it is, So I guess Dawa is her middle name??? Wow Dolma, Lol what a strange first name, but it's kinda cute.......Dolma^^

[zyoeru]

Yeah, I know her full name is Alan Dawa Dolma, so I'm guessing her full given name is Dawa Domla. I might look up Tibetan naming customs.

[adantatu2]

So complicated x_x
well i love the name alan and that's all i care. jijiji

[roanmy]

I LOVE the covers!!!

[milky_way]

OMG WHYYYY @ Namida being on the main tracklist

[XFER]

Well, no offense to them, but alan looks like she had down syndrome in those covers... not nice.

Actually she looked really weird and tired in the CD+DVD cover... not a fan of that, but the CD-only cover is

[koumori]

XFER1: Ouch X-X

~ I like the CD only ! ^o^ She's so beautiful in these <3 The CD&DVD cover..she looks so tired and her eyes are a little..funky xD But imma save up for the CD only~! ^-^

[zyoeru]

I thought ouch too. Haha t'was quite mean.
Oh well. ^^

I love how everyone prefers the CD only. With alan's covers I find the CD only is usually superior.

[love in music]

i think the covers would be alright for single covers.. but for album covers they're quite mediocre. i really don't like the background and her facial expressions. i used to think it was cute how much she wanted to be like ayu, but now it's kind of annoying.

[pommy48]

I never thought of her to be like Ayu, she never really stated that she likes Ayu while she has multiple times for Namie instead

[zyoeru]

Haha! I rarely get a feeling alan wants to be anyone but alan.

yeah, i don't think she has to say it, it's kind of obvious imo.
i hope this new album is different from VoE and there are more upbeat songs that are good

[adantatu2]

MMMMmmm well it's only a cover, but the inside of the album is the most important (and we can see if she wanna be the next ayu).....
JIJIJIJI

[XFER]

oops, sorry! I guess waterballoon nailed it, she looks tired. I love alan, and have loved every other cover she has done, but this one... just no.

[waterballoon]

I also have to say while the covers are beautiful, there's something lacking for an album cover. It's like really good for a single cover, but for an album... I thought there's something more "BOOMZ" but VoE wasn't really extravagant too, so yeah.

[zyoeru]

I gotta ask this...do we have big versions of Swear?

[paper_doll]

As far as her name, Tibetans usually don't have family names (I'm not sure about this in China. I know Mongolians living in China don't have to have a family name.), but have two given names, which both carry a special meaning. Dawa is related to being born on a Monday and can mean moon and Dolma I think relates back to the bodhisattva Tara, who's Tibetan name has Dolma in it. Not sure about the Alan part of it though Maybe she uses a last name and one of those is her last name? I dunno.
