Tibetan J-Pop Singer: Alan
Alan (pronounced as “Ah Lan” 阿兰) is a Tibetan/Chinese singer and Erhu player from Sichuan province. She made her Japanese language debut in 2007 under avex in Japan with the single Ashita e no Sanka. After graduating from her musically oriented high school, she enrolled in one of the most prestigious music school in China, the China National Chinese Opera and Dance Drama Company (解放軍芸術学院); where Lei Ying and Zhong Bao of 12 Girls Band were also being taught. She released a Chinese album in 2005.
Alan was scouted when Avex China held auditions in Beijing, and went on to debut with a Japanese language single in November 2007, titled Ashita e no Sanka. She is currently still studying Japanese, and only has a basic grasp of the language.
She really has an amazing voice which sounds like the opera style yet it’s not. It’s like a typical Tibetan girl singing on top of the moutain, giving you a soothing feel. She is also a true beauty, even before she became famous after having her first Japanese debut album!
One of her best song from her debut album is Ashita e no Sanka 明日への讃歌, meaning “Song Sung for Tomorrow”. Her amazing voice is proven in this PV:
Other than that, Sakura Modern 桜モダン is another great piece if you like the sound of Japanese samisen 三弦, a kind of 3-string Japanese traditional musical instrument.

Oh my God thank you for sharing those awesome pieces of art. I saw alan for the first time on TV (NHK),i was having my dinner, just to find out that i couldnt eat because i dropped my jaw, astounded by her angelic voice and face.since then i looked for her songs all over places, just to find out “other” Alan such as Alan Dellon,etc. I was frustrated until i found this blog and i almost cried because finally i can download her songs, for free!!!!! Thank you for your kind donation to mankind on earth :p
