alan’s newest set, “久遠の河” (Kuon no Kawa, River of Eternity) debuted on the daily charts at the 9th position, where it had stayed for the following day. The third day, however, it fell to number 10. This though is still quite fantastic charting for out Tibetan-Chinese J-Pop single. These are a few comparisons for reference: Her only top 20 single prior to this was “懐かしい未来 ~longing future~” (Natsukashii Mirai ~longing future~) which peaked at a poor-in-comparison number 19 and sold a little over 10,000 copies. Her highest selling, however, is “RED CLIFF ~心・戦~” (Red Cliff ~Shin, Sen~; Red Cliff ~Heart, War~) which peaked at number 23 but managed to sell nearly 16,000 copies. Her debut album, “Voice of EARTH”, which came out earlier this year peaked at number 15 and sold 17,000 copies. alan’s “River” may become her first top 10 single yet.
In related news, alan’s next single has been announced for a release date of June 24th. Little information is known about the new single, which was announced to be a maxi. This will be her second single which came after “Voice of EARTH”. All of these releases were released under the avex trax record label in 2008 and 2009, so be sure to pick them up.
