This is semi recent, alan got to interview/meet Big Bang @ the MTV music awards in Japan for TV Arashi

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fntU3QZrnpE

more MTV stuff hahahahah this is so funny. alan meets Green Day, BoA and Sean Garret, Ciara, the Blue Man Group, Metro Station, Big Bang, Beastie Boys, Black Eye Peas (er a whole bunch of Western music groups with the exception of BoA and Big Bang)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0rQbKMTzjs (part I)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phkBZBPaPVo (part II)

hehe so cute when she accidentally almost said music station instead of MTV video awards Japan 2009

alan looks like she had fun and I think this was a good chance for her to meet other artists. Seems she getting more and more comfortable speaking Japanese.

http://www.yesasia.com/global/alan-debut-mandarin-album-cd-dvd-limited-edition-hong-kong-version/1020461014-0-0-0-en/info.html

Tracklist

CD
01. 天女 (this is translated as Sky Female or it could be Goddess in Chinese ... I wonder if this could be the Chinese version of Sora Uta ... that song always did have a C-pop feel to it IMO ... even though the titles don't match up, this is the closes thing I can think of unless this is a new song)
02. 愛看得見 (Chinese version of Gunjou no Tani)
03. 飛行誌
04. 細節
05. 加油!你有ME!(her duet w/ Wei Chen)
06. 三生世 三生路 (Chinese version of Sakura Modern)
07. 明日讚歌 (Chinese version of Ashita he no sanka)
08. 心.戰~RED CLIFF~ (Chinese version of Shin Sen)
09. 赤壁~大江東去~ (Chinese version of Kuon no Kawa)
10. Sign (Chinese version of Sign)
11. 愛就是手 (Bonus Track) (Chinese version of Shiawase no Kane)

DVD
Music Video:
01. 愛看得見
02. 明日讚歌
03. 飛行誌
04. 加油!你有ME!
05. 心.戰~RED CLIFF~
06. 赤壁~大江東去~

I'm surprised she put in Jai you! Ni you ME! (her duet w/ Wei Chen).

I get that this was done specifically for the Chinese audience but this song really throws off the whole album and seems really out of place. I personally would have put in Yi Ge (Chiense version of Hitotsu) but that;s just me.

I was also hoping she'd do Chinese version of Together or Tsuki ga Watashi or new Chinese songs so I'm a tad disappointed. However I'm looking forward to the Chinese version of Ashita he no sanka and Sakura Modern (I may have heard the latter but I've forgotten).

She'll also be releasing her 10th Japanese single on September 2nd "Natsu no Umi"

Tracklist
CD
1.夏の海

5.幸せの鐘 -2009 Version- (Instrumental)

^ that is a little disappointing what with the tracks and all but I'm glad she's finally releasing her debut Chinese album. btw, I'm thinking the "tian nv" title is either a Chinese version of "tennyo" or it's a new song, there's a 50-50 chance. I'm excited for Natsu no Umi, though. thanks for all the great alan news! Smile

EDIT: I watched alan interviewing people at the MTV video awards, ahaha oh my God, I'm still laughing, alan is so adorable! Love

i love it when they announce the release date and it's just a few days away, hahaha. Boogie
hmm... yeah, when i heard Jai you! Ni you ME! for the first (and only...) time, it really didn't feel like alan material. and since Hitotsu is probably my favourite alan single, i would also like to have seen it there instead of some other tracks.
and about sign and 天女 (which probably is 天女 ~interlude~, first track on VOE), i think they're probably not going to be changed since she doesn't sing in Japanese in them, but in Tibetan.
overall... i was expecting a lot of Chinese version of her Japanese songs, but i was hoping for more than just two new songs. hmm
i guess what i'm looking forward to the most is the song 飛行誌 and its PV. Smile
and will the PVs for the chinese versions of Gunjou no Tani and Ashita he no Sanka be like the Japanese ones, or what do you think? i guess it's probable. though i'd like to see different versions. Smile

and it's always nice to know about her next Japanese release. but lol, another version of Natsukashii Mirai? wasn't there another version of it already for something called SAVE THE FUTURE 2008?

edit: haha, ok, this is that version. Tongue
also, the title of the Chinese album is apparently "Heart in the East". and the limited first press edition comes with a photo booklet! Giggle

Cover for the Chinese album


I'm not surprised that they recycled the image from VoE photo shoot. On the other hand I would have liked a new picture. Oh well. I read on her blog that she's in the process of taking photos for the cover of her 10th Japanese single.

haha, that's pretty cheap. but very economic for them. and it's good considering how busy alan is all the time, since her photo shoots are always so spectacular. I always wondered what the whole thing looked like...it does look really nice.

on a side note...
I personally hope alan has re-recorded Jia You! with only HER vocals. Wei Chen friggen annoyed the hell out of me with his rapping and then his attempt at reaching high notes. I felt he was holding alan back Tongue

EDIT: 2 DAYS UNTIL XIN DE DONG FANG DROPS!! YAY!! Love

It's a bit cheap that they take the cover of "Voice of Earth", but I like thie chinese cover better then the japanese one, it's bigger Tongue . And yeah, just 2 days left. I can't wait for the new songs! I wonder how they sound like.
btw, does anybody know what "Xin De Dong Fang" actually means Confused ?

"Heart in the East"? Mhm, strange title. I think it doesn't really fit with the cover. I thought it means "Voice of Earth" just in chinese...
