...Official alan Thread...

[JesA]

i noticed there was a lot of hype for Hitotsu, so i decided tod download it last night along with Ashita he no Senka...i listened to Ashita he no Senka and was amazed with her...she was everything i was looking for in a new artist...i love music where the artist brings traditional instruments into a modern song....then i listened to Hitotsu.....

WHERED THE INSTRUMENTS GO? The music was a bit mainstream on the Hitotsu single, except for sign...sign was amazing....but i was a bit disappointed when listening to Hitotsu RIGHT after listening to Ashite he no Senka....they are both amazing singles, its just i would prefer her to give us some more fresh air with some more traditional sounding music...or some more music like sign. I agree with Ayulove_06 about it sounding like Enigma's music *I LOVE ENIGMA*...

Im glad i gave her a try, cuz she's knocked NAMIE out of my spotlight...i was so excited about her new single, but then i listened to alan and the excitement was gone haha

i cant wait to hear more from this amazing artist...

alan's new single doing REALLY bad at oricon this week!

only at #100 with 986 copies sold! wtf?!

[AyuGAME]

^at least she still enter top 100 with 1000k is pretty good i think

[fanmail]

no, it's awful. there was decent promo and everything

[Amai Yume]

better than Ashita e no Sanka, so that's...something [despite Ashita e no Sanka being better...]

[Richieooxx]

Wasn't Ashita he no Sanka #69 and sell 2k on first week?
That's what theppn says...

[Mirai Noah]

Wish it was higher on the chart!

[Faiza]

i hope avex still has faith in alan ><

[apple-pi]

I hope they won't make her style more mainstream because of her sales i_i
That would be awful!
She needs a tie-in or something... Ashita he no Sanka and Hitotsu didn't have tie-ins, did they?

[*Petit*]

They have a contract with her. THey wont stop her music releases unless she puts out something that sells much better (like a photo book). They are also putting her out in china, Japan is not everything.

I'd love a more upbeat release from her. I wouldn't worry about it, she can do any style.
With her looks she could even maybe be packaged to wotas, except maybe that she's chinese LOL

I don't think a new artist would be able to generate enough interest to earn a tie-in so it'll be very unlikely unless her next release wows everyone in japan and becomes an uberhit, then maybe alan will see the offers of tie-ins rolling in xD

[~Matt~]

I guess in Japan aren't into alan... despite of her talent >_<

I hope she won't get fogotten by Avex... releasing one single by year
like those typical underrated Avex artists

If Avex is letting Nana Tanimura still release new material (and trust me her sales are worse although not by much), then I'm sure Alan should be fine. I do feel sorry for her though. I hope things improve for her...although it doesn't surprise me that much because the single was a little on the average side (I still loved it anyway).

[paper_doll]

It seems like Avex is putting a lot into her to just not care 'cause she's not charting well right now. I'm sure she'll be fine since it's only her second single.
