Her only contract is in China now. I don't think she's planning on returning to Japan ever anyways.

@Bad Wolf: Is it evil that I totally want alan to cry when she watches it?

>_< I wanted to add like her latest appearances or something, but Chinese companies aren't like Japanese companies where they'll update the artist's website with what they're doing

What do you mean by not returning to Japan “ever”?
It was Japan who made alan this far and popular, without avex trax's contract...alan wouldn't be no where near like she is, today. And...we all possibly wouldn't even know her.
You should be thank full for that...

I never said I was not thankful to Avex. I don't even know where you got that from?

But there's nothing we can do if she didn't want to renew her contract with Avex.

nah, it's not evil. you want her to be touched by what you guys did <3

and i think it makes total sense to say that alan probably won't go back to japan, at least not for a while. i don't know if she was ever really comfortable in that market, or with all that she had to go through to learn the language, live alone, etc. i'm sure she's nothing but grateful (as are the fans, of course), but i think if it comes down to her being able to sing AND be happy in her personal life, focusing on the chinese market's looking like her best bet. if music is alan's life, then her family must be a close, close, close second, and i would want her to be able to spend more time with them which might be easier if she's working primarily in china.

i won't pretend it doesn't depress the hell out of me, though :c "ashita e no sanka" STILL gives me chills to this day, and it's one of the reasons i wanted to start studying japanese, so i could listen to that song and know what she was saying without needing a translation. well, looks like i'll have to learn mandarin now for all that.

@TeamAyu: In many interviews, alan stated something to the effect of "If I renewed my contract with Avex, then that's at least another 3 years, but I'm not a little girl anymore, so I need to be careful with my decisions"

She really loves her family because she has said that she hasn't lived together with her dad since she was 14. Her mother gave up her job to look after her, so her family has always been separated since she was little.

The plus side of learning Mandarin is you'll learn more kanji...which is gonna be hell

aww, then this is as good a time as any to reconnect with them. i think it might be a great boost for alan's music, too. happiness and peace seem to be a great muse for her (but i could be wrong? idek).

lmao yes that's one of the major drawbacks to learning mandarin. SO MUCH STUFF CRAMMED INTO MY BRAIN, SO MUCH OW WHY. but that's not really that important. THIS IS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU, ALAN. I WOULD SUFFER LANGUAGE HELL FOR YOU.

PRAISE THE GODDESS ALAN~

on the subject of her chinese music and growing career, i think it works also because she seems much more appreciated over there. that makes sense of course, on a bunch of levels (japanese music industry is the second largest in the world, acts come and go, alan's music isn pretty niche/atypical for an artist, etc... the list goes on), and it's just another reason that i feel like her chinese music career is bittersweet for me. sweet because alan gets a nice bedrock of support and bitter because MANDARIN FFS

eta: lol CURSE YOU AND YOUR BILINGUAL NATURE, POMMY.

To be honest, I hate her Chinese company so much...(If people have me on Facebook, you would know )

But the list goes on for me as to why her company right now is so bad

But I have faith in alan! She's not someone who just compromise for the sake of others! She will do the music that she wants and something her company push onto her!
