| I'm so glad that you asked me about alan XD Or else you wouldn't be here lol
I knew that talking about alan long enough will get people's attention :P
I discovered alan during my myspace era where I befriended a lot of people with Jpop pages~ One friend had AENS playing on their profile and I just fell in love
After AENS, I kinda stopped, but with being on AHS around that time, I fell in love with Sora Uta and has been loving alan ever since! |

| Well, beacuse I always like to try out new artists, I decided to DL Megumi no Ame single (because it was just released at that time), and I slowly but deeply fell in love with both songs on the single, and DLed everything she ever released, and was blown away by her wailing (which I first heard in Natsukashii Miari), especially later in Ashita e no Sanka <3. |

| I downloaded Ashita right when it came out but never listened to it. Around the third alan thread on AHS, I decided "hey, I'mma listen to this stuff" which was around the time Natsukashii came out. I was instant fan'd. I provided one of the first 320 rips of Hitotsu, back in the days when alan didn't get HQ leaks at all <3
Since then I've collected EVERYTHING, I own everything I can get my hands on from over here in America XD |

| When someone asked me a request to do some screencaps of Hitotsu's PV, I told myself: wouaaah she is soooo prettyyy and fell in love with her voice. Then I did some research and become a fan of her ^^ It was the day of my prom. I will not forget ^^ |

| I heard of Kuon no Kawa as they broadcasted on the news the Cannes Film Festival, and they said: - Quote :
- This is Japanese singer alan performing her new single 'Kuon no Kawa' which was used in the movie RED CLIFF 2. The single reached #3 in the Japanese charts

| For me it was pommy and some people on lj and blogspot. The people on lj and blogspot kept talking about how great she was but when I first tried one of her songs out, I didn't like it~ During the release of Ballad pommy requested something from me and we began talking about alan and namie and now I am a namie and alan fan ^o^ Her live performance of Ballad was just amazing!! I was addicted to that song from the begining~ |

| ^It was Ballad!! You posted a live performance of it, you said the PV was too boring to watch XD (The very first song I heard was probably ashita e no sanka. MoA on youtube uploaded her cover and it was really pretty but after sometime I forgot about it ^.^) |

| I found out about her through gunjou no tani, and I saw the pv, and I thought the song and pv was unique, and she was wearing this traditional type of clothing in the pv when she is near the river.
Anyways, after seeing the pv, I downloaded her other songs, and I loved them. So, that's how I became a fan. |

| There was a period in my life where I was obsessed with trying out all kinds of new artists. For the longest time I only listened to mostly Ayumi Hamasaki, Namie Amuro, and Utada Hikaru, but I finally branched out and found tons of other artists I loved. Then I saw two boards on AHS saying "HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED". One was for Stephanie and the other was for alan. I became a fan of both, but I loved Stephanie over alan (this was when Ashita e no Sanka first came out).
Then alan released Hitotsu which I loved loved loved and my addiction grew but I still liked Stephanie better.
Then Stephanie faded away and alan released Natsukashii Mirai ~longing future~ and right then my love for alan grew and made her my second favorite artist :D.
And now she's close to first :o. |

The first single I got was Shiawase no Kane and Red Cliff's soundtrack :) Until now I still collecting all her previous single, since I'm a new fan LOL It's very hard to find Japanese music CD on my country :( |

| I was watching the Oricon top 40 on Youtube, it was a few days after the release of "Kuon no Kawa" . I just started listenning to Asian Music in the middle of 2008, when Koda Kumi released her PV of 'That Ain't Cool', exactly May 30th 2008 xD Then, I really get into the Asian Music in January 2009, by listening to Ayu, and then to Tohoshinki, and etc . So I was watching the Oricon Top 40 on youtube, and I saw Kuon no Kawa, it was #14 or #15 . It really struck me, and I was really interested in her. It was "Kuon no Kawa", and since i didn't know reading the Kanjis, I just remembered "Something NO something" xD I looked for a PV for Alan, but it wasn't kuon NO kawa, but gunjou NO tani. Then I just fell in love with that song . I realized a few weeks later that I was mistaken xD |

| i know alan since she started with avex ^^ I was already an ayufan, and one of my closest Chinese friends showed me about alan... I saw the covers for ashita e no sanka and thought "meh, couldn't be really special" but my friend bugged me soo much that I finally watched the pv of that song/single and fell in love straight away!!! *o*
I was crazyy about her thanks to ashita e no sanka and that other side single song :D hitotsu seemed cool too but soft... then natsukashii seemed a bit boring so i kinda stopped listening to her until she came out with RED CLIFF! started buying her stuff with her first album "Voice of EARTH" and now I have nearly everything from her xD
