tbh, alan is really really bad at upbeat.

She looks like she's trying way too hard.

Maybe she's not all that great at upbeat PVs, but I think she's fine when she sings upbeat songs.

OMG. WOW. Way to ruin everyone's happiness.
This is such a good change for alan, I'm so glad she tried something new.
And I really don't see how she's trying too hard.

This is upbeat the alan way. You just have to remember it's alan, who I'm pretty sure is more used to singing ballads, so this is really awesome for someone like that.

I ripped it off Youtube into an mp3, it's probably really crappy, but I thought I'd contribute.

This song is overtaking Hitotsu as my favorite alan song <3

Not trying to be rude or anything, but what exactly do you mean by she's trying way too hard??? As in trying to be sexy or mainstream??? Because I see neither of which happening. I actually still see a strong alan influence in the song, if you get what I mean.

It's upbeat the alan way. alan-sama could have gone conventional with her upbeat and done something poptastic, but no, she did this, and I love it.


EDIT: Offtopic, I have all three singles ripped with iTunes @ 320kbs, are people still interested in me uploading them?

I didn't like Sora Uta that much... I was expecting something... different x_x

it's just too... like a typical J-Pop song ._.
it sounds like the old Hitomi Shimatani songs

Wow, am I the only who just doesn't like this song at all? It sounds fake, and I don't like the way her voice sounds. I have to agree with truehappiness, she does look like she's trying too hard. What is that thing on her head anyway? It makes me think she has horns. At least she's pretty.

I don't like it as well. The worst thing she's done until now. Don't like the video too >_>'

First: I agree that better be some like shortened version of the PV cause that's a weird way to just cut it off...

Second: OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The PV is absolutely gorgeous and the song is amazing!!!!!!!!!!! For me, it takes her 2nd best A-side [behind Ashita e no Sanka] so wow!!!!!! Does this girl ever make a bad single XD
Awesome! that you're building an alan collection! I plan to do the same [hehehe, I meant GRACE, my mind was traveling or something lol]

@Amai: I already started my alan collection~ Ashita e no Sanka, Hitotsu and Natsukashii Mirai~longing future~ (all CD-only, all Japan version) arrived in the mail today, and I pre-ordered Sora Uta(which haters, shut up, it's a damn good song I loves it =D), and Kaze no Tegami (again CD-only, JP ver).

I plan to only buy her CD+DVD albums >.>
