^ Very true Sad

With artists schedules I'm surprised if they find any time to really live a normal life. Embarassed I can only assume that to them that is normal. The photoshoots, rehearsals, Tours, performances, etc.

If anyone still hasn't heard of alan's new song for Red Cliff II, you can hear it on this site (without the radio bits too)
http://music.yule.sohu.com/20081211/n261153677.shtml

An old interview with alan back when she released her first EP in China (the one with the first Red Cliff song). Sorry I can't translate but if someone who can read Chinese, wants too, feel free.

As for relatively new news on alan, she recently attended AVEX China's tree lighting ceremony, and this article has some pictures from that

Ahh I have a ton of alan news and I don't know where to start.

First off here's the PV for the new Red Cliff (part two) movie
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7xy6n_alan-red-cliff-ii_music

And she did a PV for the Epson song I posted a while back (Jai You Ni Yo ME! -- 加油!你有ME!")
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7y00i_lq-alan-jia-yonei-yo-me_music

Her debut album has been confirmed to be released on March 4, 2009. It's up for pre-order at CDJ
(though there seems too be a bit of confusion about the different covers.
CD+DVD
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-23695
CD Only
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-23696

And the cover for Gunjo no Tani has been released. As expected, the image has been taken during the making of the PV (I recall posting an TV special about alan a while back and it had some behind the scenes of that PV).

Thanks for all the info sakuraangel Love

I preordered both the single and the album Embarassed Boogie I feel like I've been waiting a LONG time for it Giggle The description says 8 single songs 2 tie up songs and four new songs? So am I right in thinking that the tie up songs is Natsukashii Mirai and the Red Cliff song? Confused

I decided to get the DVD version of the album since all the singles I've bought were the Cd Version Smile

Cool, definitely looks interesting! I really love this cover...it's so darn simple and natural. Not that I hate those stereotypical album covers but I just think this one looks really natural and that makes it really beautiful.
But March 4...I think my holidays end somewhere around that time T_T

^ Hmm, I'm not sure if I'm reading your post wrong or if I wrote my post badly the first time. The cover I posted is for "Gunjou no Tani." alan's upcoming single which is released on February 4th.

The PV is out for Gunjou no Tani
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POe4X1MnPBY

I think this song will be a grower for me to like it. I don't hate it. But I'm not about to gush about it just yet. It's nice, but I think I can easily forget it over time. Though I really like their choice of location of the PV. Now I kind of want to add Tibet as one of the places I eventually want to visit XD)

Hmm, seems neowing has published a cover for the Tokyo Disney Resort album
http://www.neowing.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCW-12704

I'll pick up the album once this cover issue gets resolved since I don't have her other singles exceptt for Red Cliff and her first Chinese album and EP .
It's sad to see now b-sides on it though I didn't think they'd fit it all ... maybe there will be a B-side compilation like YUI had recently ...) I want AVEX China to release an EP for her Chi Bi song (the Red Cliff II song).

Well, I listen to her new song and of course watched the PV and I think this is a very good song Smile . I really like the location, Tibet is so beautiful ^^.
Does anybody know if all the singles from her will be on the album? From "Ashitae no Sanka" up to "Gunjou no Tani"?

I think all the single songs will. On Cd Japan it says all 8 of her singles will be on the album so I'm pretty sure they are including Gunjou no Tani but we'll have to wait for the tracklist to be positive Smile

I really thought the Pv was gorgeous Love

Got my CD JAPAN Newsmail today:

alan 1st album (Title subject to change) [CD+DVD / Jacket C] (CDA)
Price: Yen- 3800, US$(42.71) Release Date: 04-Mar-2009
First album release from alan featuring two tie-up songs, eight single songs, and four new songs. Includes DVD with music video of eight single songs and more. *Unless otherwise indicated, DVDs are region-2 encoded (Japan, Europe, and Middle East), and carry no subtitles.
http://cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-23695&utm_source=MAIL&utm_medium=MAIL&utm_content=AVCD-23695&utm_campaign=JPOP

Title subject to change... I hope they change it, "alan 1st album" would be such a weird name xD...
Just 4 new Songs... It would be bitter if alan had released the album after her 3rd or 4th single... It's like Perfume's 1st Album Shifty ...

ok, so i finally picked up the shards of my small and left behind alan obsession i had when she debuted, thanks to 赤壁 ~大江东去~. i really like that song. gotta watch the 赤壁 movies once the second one is out. i realized i didn't have any of her music since ひとつ, heh... but now i got most of it. ^_^
i really like 群青の谷. beautiful PV. Smile but most of her PVs are really good looking, so no surprise there.

and yay, at last another album!

Mmm, it's been a long while that I've written in this thread.

Well first off, here's a performance from alan on CDTV
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug95g4pJDA8

The cover for her album and a track list is out as well. You can see it on this site:

Looks like her upcoming Liberty single (I heard it's going to be digially released for sure, not sure if there will be a physical release) is on the album.

And Kuon no Kawa (which is the Japanese version of the second Red Cliff theme) will be out as a single on April 8th. I'm a bit ticked off since this single will also include the first Red Cliff theme ... along the Chinese versions of both songs ... so for any fan that brought the first Red Cliff single ... well it's pretty much pointless except for the orchestral version of Ashita e no Sanka.

Kuon no Kawa is up for preorder at CD Japan and YesAsia. Not sure about other places.

To add more information about the upcoming album, here are the covers for voice of EARTH:
CD+DVD

I personally like the CD version better. Somehow her hand scares me in the CD+DVD version. Shocked
