Oh haha no XD I love Cocco! She has a really nice voice for songs like Gunjou no Tani XD

Well if she adds her voice in alan's Gunjou no Tani that could make a great duet ! XD

alan Family Meeting will be in Japan?


I had think that will be in China

alan - 绊（二胡）+「生きる」（「Fashion Cantata from KYOTO」2011.07.24）

I haven't been in this thread for a while, so I'm a bit late but...
Cocco is releasing a best of album and I didn't know about it??? I'm the worst fan ever

But omg, Gunjou no Tani self-cover! I've been wishing for this forever~ (or at least for as long as the song has existed XD)

I guess I should just post here, but Kikuchi's exclusive contract with Avex working as alan's producer is over. This probably means we won't hear another Kikuchi composition sung by alan again. He will still work as a composer for other artists, but he just won't be alan's producer anymore.

another sign jpop alan is over

lol and you told us not to be too dramatic

well 'activities in japan' in the sentence didnt make me believe in such judgements

i still cant accept it, thats such a loss for jpop scene, she was too unique
btw she didnt sell badly,thats why i was thinkin that cant be true,
first she's a female solo singer second she isnt an pop icon/idol
so she was sellin amazing in all circumstences

sorry for broken english lol

I guess it's better this way....Better for her to use her time and go to China than stay in Japan not gaining any popularity.

I was thinking, its better for her be in cpop than releasing cover after cover like
hitomi shimatani, yuna ito etc

Haha yeah and releasing best of albums all the time X_X

I'm so sad...i love alan...i love her jpop.

I hope that she can make a swift comeback to jpop. I just love her so much...

guys, seriously i'm criying.
I can't believe it !
her releases were very special to me, when we get a new release i was really excited, now i'm sad, like Xiao_Hua said, this is another sign jpop alan is over.
I have little hopes, but if we are honest everything looks like the end of her japanese releases.
i watch 1 hour of her concert and it looks like the last live in japan.

A lot of news in a few days, some goods and a lot of sad news !!

I just think that it's not really fair that her sales are judged the same way as other pop singers, since a lot of her songs are not really mainstream so it should be expected that she wouldn't have as high a sale or popularity

like Xiao Hua said, all things considered, her sales are not bad at all

Ugh Kikuchi why

I really really want alan to continue releasing Japanese music, I don't really care if she's mainly based in China. Maybe we shouldn't give up just yet though, she did say that she'd continue with activities in Japan. And didn't someone say that she was still signed with Avex Japan? Or was that just a rumour?

The point is Alan doesn't leave avex... does she

I believe she's still signed with Avex, but it's just that Kikuchi won't be her exclusive producer anymore~

^Right
"alan said she would continue activities in Japan" is my mantra right now.

Haha, I think this forum is making me more paranoid about the situation than I otherwise would have been

I'm sure everything will be fine, somehow x3

lol without this forum, you would never even know about alan's decision

That's true
But because of this forum I've learned a lot about alan that I wouldn't have known without it and I've grown to love her even more. So it's worth the paranoia and heartbreak

lol why am I talking like she's leaving earth forever and I'll never see her again. It's not like alan will stop making music.

...
That's how this forum progresses...lol

But Cpop might be....good too...
You can buy 3 albums with what 1 of her JP single costs X_X

Ahaha, yeah that's true, you get more alan for your money, which is always a good thing.
I guess it doesn't matter where she is, as long as she releases good music! But I do like kinda-sorta understanding the words she's singing XD

Muahaha.....oh wait NOOO! that means more chinese songs to translate
