[alan] I Swear Nobody knows the Essence of my life is alan and her Beautyful reflection ~25~

[hearted]

^yeah i missed the wailing too D: i mean, the wailing is why i love alan so much!!!

[pommy48]

I'm kinda ok without the wailing, it may be her signature move, but I wouldn't want her to just be defined by that

and alan is wearing really random outfits for Swear XD
and this screencap cracks me up..the guy in the back looks evil lol

[dreamland2.0]

I love that hat so much!!
And that guy is really creepy
He's like "I wonder if I can make her hat fall off with my mind!!" or something,

[PoetGirl]

omg, im so .... surprised and not in a good way. my alan is lost.
i loved her so much cuz of her traditional elements in her music and wailing.
thats generic pop album with some terrible electro songs like essence of me. omg...
im so sad i could cry right now.

there's no alan anymore. she's becoming just another pop girl @_@

i hope full songs doesnt sound like that...

i can cry now omg...

[adantatu2]

What happened with namida????
The best is the original, of course.
I LOVE THE NEW ALBUM
We have a ballads and pop songs, yay!!

I'm 100% the same. Just the thing I wanted to say! I really loved alan because all of her nature themed epic music, and wailing. And now this album really seems...like any other bland pop album :/

i kind of have to agree with this after hearing all the previews. but the thing is, i'm all for people trying new things and i love pop music even if it's generic but these songs don't sound catchy or even good at all maybe when the full album comes out i'll change my mind, hopefully..

[zyoeru]

I like the previews. <3

[adantatu2]

Yeah alan wanna taste other generes and she is so happy, and
well, how we can know if she likes the ballads all the time?????

[PoetGirl]

im always for a change, ofcourse, but alan was so special...

[pommy48]

Whenever alan does one thing, people aren't satisfied

When she had ballads, people want upbeat

When she have upbeat, people want ballad

I think she's still amazing even without the asian instruments, I don't want every song to sound the same~

It may be bland pop, but what about other songs in Japan? There must be someone that likes it~

I like the fact that alan is trying new things, I wouldn't want her to only stick with ballads, wailing and asian instruments cause that mean she's not evolving as an artist

There may be wailing in the full songs, we only heard 30 second previews~

[zyoeru]

Well said, pommy. People just love to complain about stuff eh. >_<

[pommy48]

I get why people are disappointed...I miss the wailing too lol

But I love alan's music as a whole, not because of just the wailing, I love Namida, there's no wailing in that, I love Great River Surges East and there's no wailing

Though a lot of her songs have wailing, if you took out some of the wailing, I would still love it!

I guess what I'm trying to say is that wailing shouldn't matter that much XD

well it's because we thought her upbeat songs would be good maybe? like some of her others? but swear wasn't good so people are like "NOO go back to ballads" lol.

[nemesisyume]

''boohoo no wailing I'm gonna hang myself''

ok not rly I like it when she does other things too

[NintendoHTF1242]

alan needs to sound more energetic for her upbeat songs. Passing it off as sounding boring makes the whole song sound, well, boring (:

[edea4president]

think about it, if she wails less.. then everytime she wails its gonna be like 3x as awesome! she's teasing us....

[Polyrhythm]

I really like this album...yeah...ok...it might be kinda generic...kinda like Ayu with better vocals....but I liked almost every song. Excited for this album! They should re-release VoE. =[ That album was so epic.

[pommy48]

Is Essence of me an interlude @_@, it's starting to sound that way...

I only find Shiroi Tsubasa, One kinda generic, but I'm loving the rest! Ah I think I'm even more excited than when VoE was released

I really hope Avex TW will make an OS press

and I've been listening to the songs on Orient of the Heart....the lyrics are rather sucky...

[Polyrhythm]

The more I listen to the previews, the more I'm liking the album...especially Butterflies and my life
