...Official alan Thread...

[Faiza]

meh.. promotion is promotion is promotion xD

[fanmail]

true. but ... it didn't help "Ashita eno Sanka" at all.

[Faiza]

she was new and the single was a bit out of the box.. maybe the japanese weren't sure of her tibetian wailing? xD and i was thinking.. the 5th is a wednesday yeah? well the live might be enough to boost weekend sales of the single a little

[fanmail]

I didn't consider that well, hopefully it'll do some justice to the single. alan surely deserves it I'd just like at least 1 performance a few days before the single =P

[Faiza]

i so hope this is alan's breakout single
she's worked so hard for this single ^-^

[AyuGAME]

can't wait to see hitotsu live performance..
and thanks for upload the rip cloud

Thanks so much CLOUD

[freedreamer]

Kimi Omufu Sora is WOWOWW!! really beautiful...the rip u made sounds very live HAHA...cant wait for the full single to drop

[Faiza]

is it me or does alan's hair keep changing? xD

its looking pretty now!

[fanmail]

wow, it looks stunning! I love the shape of it, it really compliments her facial structure. yes, I got that from this picture

[Faiza]

hmm.. i think alan's ranking way up high w/ ayu in my list of prettiest j-pop singers XD
she reminds me more and more of ayu all the time although it may just be avex forcing her into an ayu-shaped mould.. meh, it suits her

alan's nails in that pic remind me of the nails ayu wears in M xD they suit alan~~

[Beauty4123]

she looks like younha with that hairstyle, lol. it's pretty.

[AyUta]

Aw, Alan looks beautiful <3
And yes her hair seems to keep on changing.

[*Petit*]

I agree she's one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen. It's an excuse for visiting this thread even without news,.

[apple-pi]

She's so beautiful! And so delicate o_0 like a porcelain doll about to break, lol
That hair looks wonderful on her!

Oh, and has anyone ever tried to look up alan's name's meaning? XD 'cause I as messing with Babelfish and the translation for the two kanji in her chinese name sounds weird lol! XD
阿 ~> Arab League
兰 ~> Blue

What's an Arab League? XD

[Faiza]

^ unless there's a tibetan speaker here noone would be able to find out the meaning because babelfish and every other translation thing translate each character as if it was on its own and then puts it all together in a sentence that more than likely never makes sense =p

and i'm assuming an arab league is a bunch of arabs together in a group xD;

Actually, if you put the two characters together on Babelfish, they're translated as "Arlan"

English isn't my first language, but in the Merriam-Webster Online dictionary, there's no such word as "Arlan" XD
And the only article I get from Wikipedia when I type "Arlan" is this:

Aironet ARLAN
ARLAN is a family of both proprietary non-802.11 and 802.11-compliant wireless networking technologies developed and marketed by Aironet Wireless Communications in the 1990's prior to Aironet's acquisition by Cisco Systems.

...which I don't think has anything to do with alan, lol XD

So I kinda guessed that 阿兰 probably doesn't mean anything together and it's just a name, so Babelfish was trying to give me the pronounciation... so I decided to see what the kanji meant separately

And even if they don't really mean anything together, I still think it's weird to name a child with them XD but them again, I don't know anything about chinese language/names

But I thought it was kinda amusing XD

[Faiza]

XD it was funny, i wonder if the character 阿 is routinely used as arab league.. languages are really odd


edit: ahh i totally didn't realise hitotsu's released tomorrow! let's hope it does better than ashita e no sanka! ganabatte ne alan-chan~

[apple-pi]

I keep checking JPS every 5 minutes to see if the single's leaked yet XD (it's the power of boredom! *coughprocrastinationcough*)

I wonder why they have a kanji for Arab League though XD wouldn't it be much easier to just put the kanji for "league" and the kanji for "arab" together?

I mean, I've seen somewhere that to get the word "uneasy" you write the knaji for horse + the kanji for flea, and arab + league = arab league seems a lot more obvious than that!

Though I guess that is what makes languages interesting XD everything sounds so weird for who isn't used to it, lol

阿 ~> Arab League
兰 ~> Blue

Babelfish is a horrible translator. I never use it. haha
but as a Chinese person, I'll briefly translate it to you...
蘭 means a kind of flower
while 阿 doesn't really mean anything in a name... usually we say it in conversations to indicate a specific person.
