Chinese-Tibetan artist Alan Dawa Dolma (known as alan in Japan) became the first singer from China to top the Japanese Oricon sales chart, albeit for just a day on April 13th, with her 9th Japanese single “River of Eternity”.

The title track is the theme song for Chinese movie “Red Cliff 2″, premiered in Japan on April 10th. Official music video below…

The single peaked at 3rd spot on Oricon weekly chart, also a new record for mainland Chinese artist, previously held by Faye Wong (9th spot) with “Eyes on Me” in 1999.

    I really like her voice, I remember reading about her already after ashita e no sanka came out.
    Nice to listen to a singer who truly is talented.
    Now I hope she releases a album soon.

    No problem. TVXQ has been doing quite well on J-charts, not super-popular yet, but pretty good.
