Subject: Problems of being an alan fan Mon Sep 10, 2012 11:43 am
I just started posting these on Tumblr yesterday and thought what problems do you guys experience?
I hope to post them on Weibo too, so alan can see how troubled we are everyday!
We can just keep on building these thread up and up!
#1: You hear any historical theme song and think alan would have sung it better #2: You can't sing along to her wailing songs because a part of you dies when you do

Sounding absolutely ridiculous trying to sing in Chinese
And then sounding just as stupid trying to sing in Japanese
Selling your soul and a few limbs to get tour goods or DVDs
sacrificing your first born child to afford CDs after that
Looking for alan stuff and finding lots of men

^ But... aren't those the problems of every J-Pop fan ?? XD
I agree about finding lots of men. I don't have many problems, just that sometimes I think when I listen to her albums that I'd like to hear more songs like Gunjou no Tani/Ashita e no Sanka/Kuon no Kawa etc and less One/my friend/cutesy songs. alan just has a pop singer status while she could be huge if her vocal abilities were more highlighted in her songs.

Having no one to discuss her music with because she's not that well-known even amongst people who like Asian pop Even though she should be. Like seriously I just listen to her all day by myself.
Her albums are expensive, and I'm now a broke college kid. T__T
Lol Pommy, I wail along to her songs and I dunn currr.

Wishing she has lovely hair as Alan's. SECRETS?
Errr... Wailing but unable to, so pretends I'm actually wailing at some big concert and cries at the reality of it.
The crave for Japanese songs (Don't tell her that because I don't want her to feel bad)
Uhhhh... I still can't be on this forum unless I'm on mobile because I'm still getting bug. Loooool. Idk anymore. ||||orz

speaking of which, I found this song on youtube by chance today, and all I could think was... it would have been epic if alan could sing it. The singer tried to fake a tibetan wail, and honestly did quite a good job considering she's not really a professional singer at all, but really, if alan could do it...

Telling your friends you like 'alan' :| then you have to say 'alan dawa dolma' then they go wut. Then you send them to youtube to watch Ashita e no sanka.
And yes listening to her everyday and not having anyone know who she is. :(

Going on alan's concerts is pretty hard when you're living in Europe. My closest friends is always naming alan when they try to poke fun at me for liking J-pop (and Japanese music in general) because her name is the only one they can remember. I find that funny though, and not as a problem lol.

-When you look for pictures in Google and all you find is men. -When you tell your friends you like alan and they say "who is HE?". And then they say she's pretty "because she doesn't look chinese at all".

I don't have any issue with alan herself right now, but she needs to go back and work in Japan instead of promoting in China for recent album. I would also like to add that, some of her pronunciation in 「Love Song~きっともう一度~(JapaneseVersion)」is kind off. So...I hope she doesn't really forgets Japanese ヽ(;▽;)ノ
P.S. @pommy48 please, inform alan to use ameba blog more often!

With the current conflicts between Japan and China, I don't think she will be going back any time soon at all.
