^ for me it's rather the nails than the hand, but yeah, same here. i like her mouth better in the CD+DVD cover, though.
i like the covers better after seeing higher res versions of them. the blue eyes looked weird when you didn't really see that it was the earth (although i was pretty sure it was).
less than 2 weeks left until the release.  |

Thanks for the covers and the tracklist <3
Overall I like the cover. alan's very pretty and the Earth in her eyes is very nice  I've ordered the DVD version but I got angry when I read about the new single.
Especially since they're putting the Red Cliff 1 songs on there  I already bought that single  
So now I'm thinking I may just buy her albums for now on and skip her singles  She's putting out singles like crazy  So who knows perhaps I might order them at a later date when I calm down  because I just canceled her last single, although I really loved it  and now I'm regretting it
This is what I get for acting rashly, Maybe I'm just compulsive, Since I've got all her singles so far 
It's probably because I ordered Ayu's new single, album, & concert, and Namie's new single, that I'm just feeling overwhelmed  |

It's hard to keep up with all the singles alan releases. But I feel worse for Koda Kumi fans since she has a bizillion singles ... I could never keep up with Koda's releases ...
Guess what? Well apparently the album has leaked on Chinese forums ... so I'm sure it'll hit the other sites eventually. I've seen pictures of the cd booklet ... pretty! Can't wait to get this album. Oh and I hear the pictures in the cd booklet where photographed by Leslie Kee!! I'm not surprised based on the quality of the photos.
Oh and her official website is updated. |

Yay! I'm actually not too impatient for the leak as I thought I would be I'm just happy to hear it when it arrives.
The photos of the booklet are gorgeous! Leslie Kee is one of my favorite photographers, for sure. It's kind of funny how a lot of people who used to work with Ayumi now work with alan a lot. It's great for alan, because she's producing fantastic music, although I wish Ayu would work with them as well. I'm getting a little tired of the same people over and over. |

Indeed. It does seem like AVEX is having a lot of Ayu's team getting involved with alan projects.
Oh for those that want to see the pictures, since they're not mine I'll just post to the Chinese thread in which I saw them in.
This may have even more than some of the other Jpop music sites ...

And they're making alan dolls (which totally remind me of Ayu-pan figures ...
ads/wallpapers for the upcoming album

Haven't been on in awhile Got really sick and had to go to the Hospital and that's alot for me since I hate hospitals.
My albums still in shipping processing I was surprised to find it hasn't shipped.  Usually all my orders ship on Monday early morning Probably me just being impatient, or paranoid feeling that this sickness is trying to take me out before I get my album
I got hmmmm what's the word . . . I guess excited and looked at the album pics They're gorgeous but I am proud to say I haven't listened to any previews or heard any of the leaked tracks So I'm anticipating my copy greatly 
On a side note and off subject:
about the Koda releases It's true it's hard to keep up. I've been keeping up with her stuff since that 12 single project but all of a sudden I don't know what to call it but I'm thinking about just not picking up her stuff anymore maybe because all of the best albums, singles, gimmicks Especially the new single the main track sounds messy Anyhow I think I will retire in the purchasing of Koda Kumi material. 
My tirade has ended. Now back to rest so that I can receive my album in better health |

^The hospital?? Oh no. I am not sure what you may have caught and since sometimes sickness is a confidential thing I won't ask. But I do hope you get better soon.
Hmm, I'm surprised it's not shipping yet, since HK and parts of China got theirs a week in advance (that's why there's been a leak). But it won't be long now.
When I was browsing through the Chinese forums, I saw a thread (unfortunately I wasn't paying too much attention because I was chatting with my friend on msn at the same time). But I do recall a fan saying that according to the HMV JP website based on last 24 hours sales, alan's album was ranked at number 1 (too bad I don't know what day they were referring to since I wasn't paying attention). |

just finished watching through the DVD with the PVs and stuff. 
i was kinda "meh..." towards the fact that they did a PV for Gasshou, since it's the song of hers i listen to the least (even counting the chinese ones!), wish they had chosen like... uh.. any other song, lol. oh well.
the PV for Together was pretty good, not much happening it it, though. which shows on the file size of the rip i got, heh. 30 MB, lol. and 風の手紙 which is about as long was on 116 MB. 
actually, for some reason i hadn't seen any of the PVs except 明日への讃歌, 空歌 and 群青の谷. 'twas quite a nice discovery. ^_^
edit:
oh, right, i got it from here: http://forum.alan-world.com/viewthread.php?tid=534
and the DVD ISO is up on JPS: http://mullemeck.serveftp.org/jps_beta/index.php?page=details&id=52655 |

| Oh, I really like the album! IT IS SO EPIC. Every track is so gorgeous, I honestly can't pick a favorite from the album tracks. BRAVE is really catchy, so I've been humming it often. |

My favorite album tracks are definitely 月がわたし and Together.
I like the intro to the album too. Oh for those that just want to watch a stream of the Together PV, you can watch it here:

I hear there's a Chinese version of Gunjo no Tani floating around O.o I want to hear it XD I won't be disappointed if it's as good as the Chinese version for Hitosu |

^ Yea, I thought the rock version wouldn't be a good idea since it was one of those "epic" songs. But after hearing it. I actually don't mind the re-arrangement for it. It works out quite well, though I think it would have been better if they used twin guitars.
I heard they're going to use this version for a Red Cliff game. But I think it's a rumor since nothing has been officially stated (I don't recall seeing an article on it) O.o |

I remember reading they were going to put it in one of those Dynasty Warrior Games, although I wouldn't know which one
About the Chinese version of Gunjo no Tani Wow They really need to start releasing all these versions she does, in an album or something, Because some her songs sound really good in Chinese I mean, most of my collection is Japanese, but with alan I really like her Chinese like for Red Cliff I prefer the Chinese Version |

^ I agree. The Chinese version of Red Cliff is my favorite.
I also thought the rock version would be bad, judging by the preview, but I actually liked it as a whole.
Her Chinese cover album is really pleasant to listen to, her voice is just so gorgeous. Although I actually didn't like the Chinese version of Gunjou no Tani for some reason I really don't know why. |
