Venus Flower sounds like it might be the bossa nova song

I wanna know!

^yep, for me sounds like the bossa nova song.
i hope they can add previews on her site soon

BOSSA NOVA :D
alan (L)

these days i was thinking about the tracklist, and i don't know, but ECHOES sounds for me like the japanese version of The Call

OH RIGHT! I forgot...She also sang a Japanese version of it...>_> I think you're right lol

*drops dead* That prices are out of this world expensive!!!

I guess I will wait until an overseas version is released... if ever. And then check if the price for the normal edition is affordable

I asked Avex TW if they will release an OS press....and no one has replied...so I guess maybe no OS press? X_X

Now we'll have to see about Avex China~

Nooo, don't tell me that pommy!!

Lol I'm sorry...maybe they might

But I'm not putting my faith in them...so still ordering the JP press! lol

And even if they do make an OS press, they won't make the 2CD+DVD limited edition cause they wouldn't waste money to buy the copyrights and print the calendar and photobook

So excited !!!
i'm gonna pre-order the album the next week !!!
i hope i can get the poster !!

Previews ripped from last night's NicoNico show!
(It's a shame Youtube tends to lessen videos' audio quality these days.. Anyone know to resolve this? The original vid is so much more HQ)



Drums in "ECHOES" actually sound more exciting than in "Hu Huan". Her voice is also like crystal clear and too exquisite to describe in this Japanese ver! Totally loving it :D

"eternal love" is actually a good song as well. Love how she changes her vocal tone throughout the song. It's so artistic!

"Komorebi" is a cutesy pop song I didn't expect from Alan. Looks like it's a song she wrote to fans. A simple pop song and a spring song, maybe?

"Venus Flower" is the bossanova number we've talked about before but I had no idea it's gonna turn out a bit poppy. But at least I like better than "Komorebi". Still a nice try, though. :) It makes you think of summer.

Thanks mitsurugii !! :D

ECHOES : Well I already kind of like Hu Huan (even if I got tired of it very quickly), so I think ECHOES is great. The louder drums give the song a more ethnic feeling, and that's great.

Komorebi : I actually like it... Sounds so B-Side-ish though, like Seeds of Green Part 2. I love SoG, but this is a little bit too much...

eternal love : still love the chorus, but the rest isn't as epic as I expected it to be...

Venus Flower : I don't really like bossa nova, and alan is not making me enjoying it more. At all.

Eh... it's the first time I feel disappointed by something sung by alan... Well, I love everything she does, and I think it will grow on me, but it's the first time I don't feel like "OMG addicted" from the first seconds.
I'm very sad I'm feeling like I understand all the people who stopped listening to alan and got tired of her, I do feel like she's getting more and more irrelevant. The time I was amazed at everything she threw out is done, I think. alan will always remain my favorite singer, but I think I'm a bit too illusional, with my fandom...

Actually I'm playing the previews on repeat as if I desperately wanted to love it...

truly flawless ECHOES.

ECHOES is amazing in any language!!!

I wanted Komorebi to be a bit more amazing...I guess Japan just likes the cute pop X_X I do expect alan to lose some fans with this release now...

OMG, mitsurugii you are the best !!! thanks a lot 4 this

ECHOES is Hu Huan i knew it !!!!! This version sounds so beautiful, and it sounds better than Hu Huan, her voice is so unique !!! this song is so great, it should be a single

eternal love is so amazing, her voice is so powerful and beautiful, i love this song so much

Venus Flower is so relaxing, i can imagine the beach and the sunshine

Komorebi is OK, this is my least favorite, but isn't bad at all, but probably i'm gonna change my opinion with the FUll version

Oo~ mitsurugii...you can always just upload the mp3 for us~

Oh! So for yesterday's Niconico, they only played the previews and not the full songs?

So Hu Huan is ECHOES huh? I was expecting it to be a new single. I guess avex changed their plans for alan this year. We'll probably get a new studio album next year.

Well we knew the animated movie would have a Japanese version and since they never announced a single for it...I figured it would be on the best album~

I don't think Avex is expecting the movie to be big in Japan...I wish that they would find her better tie-ins...

^^sadly that's true !!!
but if she work a lot, she can release at least 2 singles and release and album in december, maybe. but with avex, i really don't know.
so with the best we get the japanese version of Hu Huan, the bossa nova song and i guess that we get the summer song with Komorebi, so there aren't more songs for a new single (i guess, i can't remember if alan talks about more songs)

I didnt spoil myself anything but seeing your comments makes me happy, cute alan song AAAAAAAAAA swear was kinda cute, I hope this is cuter

I LOVE THIS SONGS!!

ECHOES sound more better that Hu huang!, Eternal love can imagine all song complete and will be more beautiful that ever, kimorebi and venus flower are pretty good!

Oh! What does this say? 3/23発売「JAPAN PREMIUM BEST」に収録される新曲4曲が先行着うた®配信!!

Does it mean the album will be released on 3/23? Is it a typo? x_X

WHA... WHAT THAT...?

amazon are you kidding me?

coz in alan website still saying that realese in 3/2

Echo sound nice but like someone said earlier it get boring afterward..

Komorebi sound like a pretty clean J pop song, but is also a pretty forgettable song

eternal love- I Like this one the most it almost pair to her other single..

Venus Flower- Have that swear feeling to it.. but will be in the shadow like most of her song butterfly and so lolz

but overall it is an ok package..
