I've been loving alan ever since her debut! One of my Myspace friends had Ashita e no Sanka as her profile song and I listened....and I fell in love :muah:

But to be honest, I lost interest when Hitotsu came out xD Then I started to listen to her more when Sora Uta came out~

But yeah....2007 :D

I became her fan since the end of 2009 :XD: I'm kinda late..

I've known alan since her single "Swear".

don't worry im late myself too...late 2009 for me
well...first i was obessed with kalafina on last.fm then i happened to click on "play Kalafina radio" and there was one of alan's song and it was red cliff...
i've loved her ever since!
...tho...is it just me, or is there like a controversy thing going on with over the clouds???
cuz there was a lot of shouts on last fm about diamond/over the clouds...just curious! >.<

^ Haha yeah, a lot of people always say she looks like Ayu and BoA in this case...

Alan is like my new ear singer of the end of Shimatani Hitomi lolz jk jk, 2007 hit the spot for me

2008 was the era of alan for me...

At the beginning of 2009. :)

Summer 2008, yo.

June 2008
First song was Hitotsu. It was the day of my prom and I downloaded all songs of her and put it all on my mp3 player XD

2009, April 15th~20th. In this period (1 year already !). But I was sure I had already heard about her in China.

October 2009. I tried her out after reading the alan thread at JPM. She's now one of my favorite artists.

my story is quite similar to yours, pommy xd i met her since her japanese debut thanks to one of my chinese friends, then lost interest with natsukashii, gain it back with sora uta :D

2009. Around January or February, so near the time that Gunjou no Tani's PV was on youtube, and when the single was released. I became a fan after I heard the song.

2010 coz my grandma and my friends told me to xD

Beginning of 2009

I believe either in Spring or Summer of 2009 when I accidently found alan on Youtube.

Summer 2009. I thought I'd check out her music since you always posted so much about her on AHS, pommy :)

Then it was loooovvveeee :3

^ aww I didn't know I helped you become an alan fan

One day....I'll get all of AHS to come over :XD:

Wow I'm the latest! I've known her this year, february I guess. I was looking for relaxation japanese music on Youtube. Then I clicked on a related song and it was Sakura Modern. I just loved it! then I thought she didn't do much good songs till the day when I discovered Ashita e no Sanka and I was like woooo!!!!

I like alan since her debute..ashita e no sanka is still my favourite song from her. I lost interest after several average release hitosu...etc.....didn't like again until voice of earth album was release.

2010 :)

I first heard the alan's song from the closing inuyasha, diamond
so hear the song turned out very good voice
but i like natsukashii mirai and gunjou no tani too

According to lastfm it seems like a began listening to alan's music in September 2010. Video game theme songs (mainly Final Fantasy) had inspired me to check up on J-pop a bit, so I was randomly searching around youtube one day for J-pop songs when I stumbled across BRAVE. I thought it was a cool song so I listened through her whole Voice of EARTH album and was completely blown away.
