I 100% agree with this! I was so glad when I heard alan was releasing BALLAD and I hope she never goes for the 'kawaii pop' style! Doesn't suit her at all -_-

well there're some artistes that basically can't do other genres of music other than R&B or ballads *points to Shota Shimizu who basically FAILS at doing R&B upbeat tunes & goodness rap even D:

I think alan's pretty ok/good when comes to experimentations

^true. I don't want her to end up like chihiro onitsuka who, although sings terrific ballads, cannot sing upbeat songs! So I don't mind if she experiments as long as she doesn't go towards kawaii pop. On the other hand, I'm really glad she released an upbeat song like swear, at least it's a break from those ballads! But yeah, I'm hoping for more ballads in her album

she could do Kawaii pop, though, I'd rather her do something else. I wouldn't mind a Kawaii pop song every now and again though :3 I don't think she could really do anything more electronic then BRAVE and it sound good though. Everyone would ***** and complain :3

if she keeps doing the same thing over & over again I will get really annoyed/pissed

by experimentations be it the final product's good/bad , at least she's not stuck in a music rut unlike some artistes I know

yay my copies <3 The picture of her holding the singles that isn't the obi, that's the case. The Obi's are pretty simple, but her name is in pretty colors :3

Will comment on Beauty after I hear it

The original promo pic is the back cover of the CD+DVD, there's another picture in a similar setting on teh back of the CD-only, which I LOVE <3

^I love it too <3

I like Beauty too, but I don't find it as amazing as everyone else here did. It was very typical alan fare :3 I actually like Swear more because it's very different.

oh Beauty reminded me of another alan song... just can't remember what it is; beautiful nonetheless.

And yeah Swear was the only alan song I could mumble along and smile - I mean it's really cute and light; something she doesn't usually do lol

^exactly =D I love that about Swear, it's just so light and happy. Everything she does is so grandiose and epic. It's good, but it's nice to get a change every now and then :3

I wonder if my laptop can change regions... I'm about to find out lol

does anyone have HQ covers for all her CDs? I'm in need to image up my iTunes, the only ones that have covers are Shiawase/Chinese version of Shiawase and the chinese album x_x

The alternate PV for Swear was rather... disappointing ._. A lot of it was close up shots of alan in her first outfit, and they completely cut out the third alan, and the second verse/chorus of the song, they skipped right from the first chorus to the bridge section
