alan's thoughts on Diamond/Over the clouds

I translated this a while back, it's from alan e-magazine #57

Diamond
This song is a very sad love song. It describe the tears after falling out of love. But~, tears won't fall out in vain. Tears don't just fall when someone is sad. People must learn the pain to become even stronger and to grow up. So, after you cried, the sadness might stop, so everything will be better in the future. Tears are like a glittering Diamond.

Over the clouds
Other than having the theme of sadness, but it's also a positive message.
{Over the clouds} is about how there are endlessly tangled, sad and cruel things in the world. There's also a lot of fragmented things, and a lot of things that you can't understand.
Even so if there are unhappy things, you can get through this hard time by having faith in the thought {I still miss that person}.
People aren't born to be lonely. If there is someone you want to treasure, then you will become stronger.
Holding hands with the people beside you and supporting each other is the most important, I hope to sing out this thought.

News regarding TW press of BALLAD

At the moment, there is no plan to make a TW press of the single
From Avex Taiwan

>_> I hope they change their mind....

Ninki Index for BALLAD

And alan got.....26.00!!! I think that's pretty good! Number 4 :D
But I am worried about BALLAD's chart ranking....though she had a tie-in for Kuon no Kawa, I still think BALLAD won't chart that good....oh well let's keep our fingers crossed!
