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

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.

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 >.>

^I know ;_;. I call it upbeat the alan way~ People probably expected something different. I'd keep it on loop, but I have to listen through the other CDs that came to make sure they're okay.

Because I don't? The song sounds dry, her vocals aren't that strong in here, and I hate that she inserted English into the song. Makes it more fake to me.

I like the [Indian??] sound that she incorporates into the song and I think that it's upbeat. What were people expecting though? I mean she does have a certain sound that she's going to stick with and that's perfectly fine with me. She just doesn't know how to disappoint and that PV is fantastically gorgeous.
If that is Indian, I wasn't expecting it but it was a great surprise!!!

@Huaka: I didn't mean it in a mean way cause you're totally entitled to your opionon I just meant that I thought it was awesome and people would like it...

Sora Uta comes off, to me, as a hit-and-miss song. People are either going to love it or they're going to hate it. I for one love it, but I can sort of understand why people could hate it.

agree with you there i just love it cos its so different and it song keeps building up to a high point, shame theres mixed reactions over the song but everyone is entitled to their own opinions, this song does ultilise alan's voice really well.

just saw some news dunno if everyone knows this but:

The other two elements singles are fire and water. Fire will be released in October, water in November.
alan's debut album is expected to come out in December.
