[alan] you must swear that you love alan for her Beauty before you enters her 24 thread xD

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

I think it won't sell much, the upcoming album is gonna overshadow it's release I think.

[KarenPang]

I suppose only die hard fans will really get the single ?

my life will be out in 3 weeks's time after Swear's release so I will not be surprised if Swear will not sell as well as expected

somemore doesn't help that Nov's single competition is tough . Basically not a good time to release singles in Nov xD

[pommy48]

Well looking at how high Swear is on the mu-mo preorder chart, I think she won't do fairly bad~

[freedreamer]

I'm like 10 pages late for the tracklist..o gosh. It sounds really ethereal and Im so glad alan has included her compositions in the album. I hope it would be amazing I need some epicness in my life!! alan looks great on all the covers and calenders and stuff..
Beauty is quite nice

Swear poster:

[aqua_crystal]

^Cute! But it looks small....

[MemorialAddress]

Awww I want that poster!

[adantatu2]

Oh finally a superhq cover, but only in a poster x_x

[Yoake]

I love the poster. I think it's good that the cover are not in full view!

[AyUta]

OMG, i love beauty so much more than swear amazing alan! it's so beautiful <3.

oh and, i noticed that the tracklist is a little on the dark side, reminds me of evenescence songs...

I can't wait to get my copies :3

also, I'm lazy, but some of my links seem to have gone dead, so if something in my alanography thread is dead and you want it, post it here or there :3

That's my prediction too. It's not even on the ninki single's is it? I just hope the album does well

yeah Swear's not on the NINKI index sadly D:

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ns/

competition for next week's tough & only the fittest will survive

I honestly am not expecting much of Swear but I really hope that it can do much better than BALLAD

[adantatu2]

What is NINKI?

[KarenPang]

every week before a new single/album's released , Oricon will poll a group of 400 people & ask them if they're interested to get an upcoming single/album a week before the release date

the no.s & position on the NINKI index are always all the time not very accurate but it served as a rough gauge as to how a single/album will fare in due time when it's out

[adantatu2]

Oh thank you, mmmmm. interesting, maybe SWEAR is out of the top10
but my life will do a good job, i'm sure

[KarenPang]

lol I don't think Swear will be in the top 10 since competition for next week's tough

it should shoot for a top20 position overall but I really want it to fare better than BALLAD since I like the A-side & the preview for Beauty's spectacular !

[Aozora]

I'm honestly not going to even expect it to be in the 20s :x.

But all I care about is the album, so as long as it doesn't hurt the album sales, I'm happy .

But yea, NINKI is not a very good chart. I remember how they said Stephanie's latest album was like... number 8 on the list, and it ended up selling 1000 copies.

[adantatu2]

lol, then NINKI is a bad chart, jijiji

[mcluva420]

that nice poster reminds me of a calander
