1st day chart position for

DEARS - #5
TEARS - #4

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/2014-11-04/

I thought it will be on top 3

I wasn't expecting both best albums to chart/do well in the 1st place

You look who Mika is up against this week + they're no pushovers

I'm still quite angry on the way both DEARS + TEARS were marketed , especially the inside of the albums . Ugh this still makes me angry :eviltongu

I'm glad I have no intentions to buy them because if I do , as a fan I will be boiling mad like really

4th and 5th is not so bad. for songs that we already heard and really poor marketing (+ugly photoshop on her beautiful face) its doing better than i thought

i love mika but those 2 best from sony are really unnecesary i would have prefer a whole new album instead

Mika will be touring from Jan 2015 to May 2015 to promote both DEARS + TEARS

The tour is titled MIKA NAKASHIMA CONCERT TOUR 2015 "THE BEST" ～DEARS＆TEARS～

Does anyone have any download links?

She seems to be doing smaller venues this time around. For the Tokyo dates, for example, Bunkamura Orchard Hall holds just over 2,000 people compared to Tokyo International Forum Hall A's capacity of 5,000. I wonder why? Seems like the setting for this tour will definitely be a little more intimate.

^ I don't know if that's the reason but she said she really enjoyed doing more intimate concerts after the first Premium Live she did in October for her fans.

Maybe the last tour didn't sell as good either... Even though I went to both Tokyo dates in July and a few friends went to the opening show and last show and it was not sold out but pretty close to it iMO.

Still a bit sad it'll be the first tour I won't be able to see ever since 2009 :( I could eventually make it work but honestly, April is the most expensive period to go to Japan... and that would mean going for a week, a week and a half tops... Doesn't seem to be worth it :/

Is this best promotion for end of her career??????

No it's not don't worry, she's been recording lately and they're going to record Yuki no Hana during the budokan concert for some upcoming project

I still think somewhere out there TEARS is selling better than DEARS cos Sony used a new cover for it unlike DEARS :p

Jokes aside , it should be due to some of the songs included in TEARS that're still prominent Mika songs up to now such as ORION + Yuki no Hana
