Hey all, haven't posted here in a couple of years, haha. I got an email that the forum reopened and I'm just getting around to logging back in.

Anyway are there any Alan fans here? I hadn't heard about her until a few months ago when a friend of mine posted one of her videos on livejournal. I've since bought her 2 full albums and 1 of her singles.

The song that got me hooked on her is this one
BALLAD (youtube)

She's a pretty versatile singer, going from epic ballads to catchy pop songs, not to mention she's fluent in Chinese and Japanese.

She did the theme songs for the 6 hour Chinese epic "Red Cliff", including this song:
久遠の河 (kuon no kawa) (Japanese version) (youtube)

Here are a couple more of my favorites:
My Life (youtube)
Swear (youtube) - This is her most mainstream popish type song, and the video is really cute, haha.

She has a lovely voice. She's on the Avex label if I'm not mistaken?
She has such an awesome range and tonal painting technique (Xin.Zhan, Ashita e Senka). Alan needs better composers to explore that potential.
