You guys are reading WAY TOO MUCH into that particular line. If you're used to reading her blog, you would understand that she's not the kind of person to brag about her work in that way.

I don't really know anything about Miliyah as a person, which is why I was wondering about that comment. I guess this really shouldn't be discussed anymore anyway, I know I'm looking into it too much and giving it much more attention than I should. So it's all good.

On another subject; I really like The One. I used to not be moved by the chorus but really liked the verses and the lyrics. Now it's all just too great. What does everyone think of RUN FREE? I can't stop listening to it.

Utena 23rd February 2014 08:40 PM

;)

RUN FREE feels kinda out of place to be honest, I would have been fine without it. I did like it as a digital single though, I just don't like it within all the album songs, it's a bit too messy for me.

Ashen Twilight 23rd February 2014 08:57 PM

Omgosh ~cakegate 2014~

I really enjoy RUN FREE. I love the way AI sings on it. I'm glad she put it on the album.

happiholic★ 24th February 2014 07:15 AM

I wonder if she will release another album before releasing a best album. Considering that there were only two albums between Best Destiny and M Best. I just wonder.

What is with Japanese artists needing to use the word 'best' in best of albums?

Tom Punks 24th February 2014 07:39 AM

LOVELAND is my first Miliyah album, and I'm really enjoying it. :) I've always ignored her in the past because I'm not at all a fan of jr&b (or r&b in general). I do agree that there aren't really any standout tracks, but that's one of its strengths to me. I love how smooth and cohesive it is; it really feels like an album, which is saying something considering it's jpop and all the singles came out long before the album was being conceptualized I'm guessing lol. My faves are Lonely Hearts, Shape of Love, Love/Affection, kamisama, and One Night Only :heart

I did try TRUE LOVERS since it was also recent but after three songs I shut it off 'cause they were all waaay too long for my taste. :\

tenshi no hane 24th February 2014 07:48 AM

^ You could try HEAVEN (album). WHY, Sora, Free, Destiny, BFF and ByeBye are amazing songs (in my opinion of course).

I don't care for RUN FREE either. I kicked it off my iTunes :laugh Kamisama is still my favorite :heart

koumori 24th February 2014 10:17 AM

I love her new album. So good. I need to revisit her discography...Miliyah somehow dropped out of my life and I'm not sure why!

Great first post, thanks Utena.

ayu_ready? 24th February 2014 02:10 PM

I love the album!

brener 24th February 2014 02:19 PM

Nice first post!

aloopy 24th February 2014 05:36 PM

After a few (alot) of listens to the album I can say that I really love all songs except for PRIDE and One Night Only.

You're Beautiful has grown on me alot and it's one of my favorites now:D
RUN FREE does feel out of place but it's a good and fun song so I don't really mind.

This album is on par with Heaven and TRUE LOVERS for me.:yes

chocopockymaster 24th February 2014 07:18 PM

I adored Heaven, I remember running to Tower Records and picking it up a couple days before I moved back to the States, and it's been one of my favorite albums ever since. But yeah, for some reason Miliyah just kind of dropped off the map for me ever since then...maybe I was so obsessed with Heaven, I just didn't pay attention to what she came out with afterwards? (LOVERS pt. II w/ Wakadanna excepted...I've had that song stuck in my head for almost a year)

Anyway, my point is, I really liked Lonely Hearts and thought Love/Affection cw Kamisama was great, and I'm really enjoying Loveland! So much so that I'm working my way backward through her entire discography now. :P Up next...TRUE LOVERS.

Kacku 24th February 2014 07:52 PM

Another newcomer impressed by LOVELAND here! It really is such a cohesive album, a pleasure to listen to. I disagree about the album lacking standout tracks, many songs jumped out at me right away! My favorites are Love/Affection, UNIQUE, Kamisama and Jounetsu to Reisei no Aida. One Night Only and Loveland are kind of meh for me, but all the other songs are on a scale from "This is really good!" to "I LOVE THIS". If Miliyah's other albums are this good, they need to get into my ears yesterday. :)

Run, don't walk, to your nearest download source and find Heaven!!! It's a really cohesive, solid j-pop album. Miliyah seriously delivered with that one.

Run I did! I'll listen to the album ASAP, thanks for the recommendation!

Chiharo 24th February 2014 09:12 PM

All her albums are great in their own ways, so you should probably listen to them all eventually.

For tenshi no hane, I feel bad about asking, but could you (if you see this) please translate LOVER -Epidode II-? If you have time and will, any other translations of other album songs that didn't get one would be welcome, too. Reading your translations makes it easier for me to get to like them more. No wonder I already love all the songs you translated.

HAHAHAH this is literally my life!!! HEAVEN is so good that I stopped listening to the rest of Miliyah's stuff afterwards. I'll end up getting around to TRUE LOVERS and LOVELAND sometime but meh ahaha still too busy blasting B.F.F. and BYE BYE.

Sure thing~ I like translating Miliyah's lyrics :yes

LOVER –Episode II–
Spoiler:
Love story. When I was with you
I was happy but now
Just thinking about you makes me so lonely
My heart is hot like fire
Memory has gone
I need to be right here
Every single memory is dear to me
Wishing you were mine, out of my control
Be mine, be mine, be mine, baby

*Missing you, I'm missing you tonight
I want you so bad I want to cry
I wanna be your lover
I wanna be your lover
I just want to see you tonight
Before I knew it, I was fallin' fallin' in love
Tonight I want to tell you how I feel
I wanna be your lover
I wanna be your lover
I want to see you tonight

I need you
You have your own special world
And I know you have no place for me there
I know what you want, what you need
What if I hadn't hesitated back then?
What if I had jumped into your arms?
Would we have become one?
But I just stood there. I lose it

Destiny. I was floating on air whenever we met
I believed we were destined to be
I remember like yesterday the very day I met you
I want you, I love you
Unable to say what I should have
Please, my feelings… try
This love made my heart flutter one time

Once again (yeah) and again (yeah)
Reached out again and again but you said…
Be mine (And you said)
Be mine (But you said)
Be mine (Can I..? How can I..?)
Tell me, how can I turn back the clock?
Where did things go bad?
Did I do something wrong?
(Is it too late? Baby, back in the day)
I've never regretted anything this badly. I want a second chance
But you're not here
We exchanged "good night" for the last time
I want to hear it one more time, your "good night"

I want to tell you one thing before tonight ends
I want you to hold me tightly after midnight
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
Wishing you were here baby
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
Yeah, I wanna be your lover

* repeat


I love the way she sings the 5th stanza :heart

thinkingoutloud89 25th February 2014 10:03 AM

I started with heaven and wanted more, so yeah....
Yuushatashi is my favourite track ever if you want to know btw.

Chiharo 25th February 2014 03:28 PM

Thank you again, Tenshi!

I'm finally starting to get into LOVELAND. It's a good album.

tenshi no hane 27th February 2014 06:21 PM

^ You're welcome~

Another one:

You're Beautiful (translation)
Spoiler:
All I wanna do is feeling for you
When I'm sad I wanna cry although I can't
The simple act of loving you
Makes tears come to my eyes. Why?

I don't even know where you are, darling
I haven't seen you in forever, baby baby baby
You're in my memories
You're always in my heart. Why?

When I see the moonlight
When I see the sunshine
I always think 'I wanna show you this'
I'm gazing. Simply looking is enough for me
These feelings are like a miracle
Wherever you are, whoever you're with

*Don't stop love
Even if I'd wake from my dreams, I'd see another dream
Baby baby, my beautiful heart
You're beautiful
So very beautiful
Baby baby, I wanna tell you
You're beautiful

You might treat me coldly, but I'm fine
You never answer the phone, baby baby baby
You stare with cold eyes, with bored eyes
Even so, I love you so much? Why?

When I eat some good dish
When I go to some place
I wish you were with me
Whenever I close my eyes
I can see you clearly
That's why
I'm fine alone

You're beautiful
So very beautiful
Baby baby, your beautiful heart
I wanna tell you
How beautiful you are
Baby baby, I look at you
You're beautiful

Baby, can't you see I see the moonlight?
Baby, you can see I see the sunshine

You often appear in my dreams
And hold me tightly
I guess you're beautiful because you're a dream?
All I wanna do is falling down, baby
Many years have passed by
Time erases my feelings
Even so, I feel you. Why?
All I wanna do is falling down, baby

When I see the moonlight
When I see the sunshine
I feel you more than anyone
Please just stay the way you are
That's what love is, isn't it?
You taught me that. Why?

*repeat

koumori 27th February 2014 08:44 PM

Thanks so much, tenshi. It's great to listen to the album whilst reading these translations. :)

Still loving the album - my favourites are UNIQUE, Reisei to Jounetsu no Aida, RUN FREE, EMOTION and You're Beautiful so far. I really like how cohesive the album is when you listen to it all the way through.

it's kinda funny that SHOTA means p-u-s-s-y in brazilian portuguese

NintendoHTF1242 3rd March 2014 05:56 PM

I like how with each release Miliyah and Shota do together, the covers get progressively worse lol

LMFAO. Seriously. Well, then this really is the end of their collaboration together, because those are quite possibly the worst things I've ever seen. Its physically impossible for those covers to get any worse.

tenshi no hane 4th March 2014 08:15 AM

lol I agree with Nintendo regarding the covers.

Another translation~

Loveland (translation)
Spoiler:
I close my eyes and hold your hand
My love is even deeper than an ocean

You're inside me
You're so close that we can never be parted

*Our private secret land of love (baby, I love you)
We're shining faintly in a place no one knows
Wishing for precious moments
I want to float together in our Loveland

We embrace, your big arms around me
We don't need words. Simply touching each other is enough

You love me so much, what should I do?
Only your love can twist my heart

**The more I feel your fleeting love for me (baby, I need you)
The more tears fall down. But they fall because I'm very happy
We stare at each other and cuddle together, to our hearts' content
We sing and dream in our Loveland

Floating silently in the sea
Never ever leave me
Hold me tightly, more tightly
No matter how strongly we embrace, it's not enough
No matter how deeply I love you, it's not enough
In the land of love

*repeat
**repeat

Utena 4th March 2014 10:13 AM

so you guys think they're worse than LOVE STORY? ahah. Doubt they can ever top the ugliness of LOVE STORY's covers.

I feel they're from the making of of the real album covers lol -I wish-. They could have been easily better but oh well, at least they're decent, no ugly photoshop editing.

I've miss a bit, but I saw the PV of Sakura Melody the other day. Those covers are horrible, but their collaboration cover art imagery has been bad for a while. Both covers look like complete advertisements for God/Jesus. >_> However, I'm totally buying it. Limited Edition cover is probably better than regular I think. I LOL'ed in Sakura Melody when Shota was checking out that huge bottle of Ketchup around 1:36 mark.

Surreal17 10th March 2014 11:52 AM

Another newcomer here (I've heard of her but never listened to her songs)! I've downloaded LOVELAND earlier and I'm already at You're Beautiful. It's not a fabulous album but for me it's a breath of air since I don't listen too often to jr'n'b. My favourite songs are Shape of Love and UNIQUE. But why is she eating pasta on the album cover lol?

aloopy 10th March 2014 12:01 PM

I think LOVELAND is a great album, but it can feel a bit slow I guess. I think everyone here will agree with me that 'HEAVEN' is the best album for people who are new to Miliyah

thinkingoutloud89 10th March 2014 02:13 PM

^yep...cause its starts with BYE BYE <3

NintendoHTF1242 10th March 2014 07:32 PM

I really wish Miliyah would collaborate with DAISHI DANCE again. I miss you is so flawless it hurts me.

Ashen Twilight 11th March 2014 12:09 AM

They did a remix of Love/Affection and that was pretty great.

I was under the same impression. I could have sworn I read an article about him coming out? or maybe being outed? by someone about a year or two ago. Darn my brain, I can't remember any specifics about it. But to add to the people who'd already mentioned it, I've heard the same thing at one point or another.

it was the internet rumours that he was gay, and then he supposedly answered them by coming-out in some magazine interview

he's never come out, lol :P

basically stereotypes, he is small, soft-spoken, really fashionable and never really seen with girls (although most j-celebs don't really date publicly)

anyway automatically he is considered gay, basically its a long running joke at this point....unless he comes out, who knows but I am gonna with straight till then

Has he ever commented on the speculation in any capacity? I don't really care if he is gay or not, I like his voice and body of work that he has released, but honestly I think he's best with Miliyah in their collaborations. She definitely got me into checking his music out and liking his discography.

So I noticed on Instagram, users in Japan that have hash-tagged Miliyah, have recently posted about a new single being released on June 4th this year; its a Mika Nakashima X Miliyah Kato song called "Fighter". Is this true?! I haven't followed Mika for a long time, and its an interesting duet if its true, it hard to imagine them together for a song.

aloopy 29th March 2014 03:47 PM

Uhmmmmmm Mika and Miliyah together??? 2 of my faves? I would die if that's true, even if it's hard to imagine them together like you said. But still... I so hope it's true.

Utena 29th March 2014 04:32 PM

seems it's more or less confirmed. A Japanese boxer mentioned on twitter shooting for the upcoming PV of a song entitled "Figther" by two unnamed singers.

I'm soooo curious to see what's it's gonna be!!

blackmage 29th March 2014 04:48 PM

I was looking at http://fyeahkatomiliyah.tumblr.com/ (good blog/updates on Miliyah) and they have referenced it twice so maybe it will happen? I'm unsure about hte collaboration as I said, but at the same time I'm also kind of excited.

http://24.media.tumblr.com/efd9c9b91...mszo1_1280.jpg

BTW, since Miliyah and Shota seem to be doing promotion for THE BEST, have they officially spoken about why its their First and Last collaboration album, etc?

The April 2014 Jelly photos of Miliyah, she's so pretty here!

It's a true collaboration, not a feature. The girls have been friends for a while and finally decided to do it.

Chiharo 9th April 2014 05:06 PM

Okay, so when this single is out we should tag the artist as both Mika and Miliyah?

Utena 9th April 2014 05:35 PM

it should be tagged as "中島美嘉×加藤ミリヤ"

Chiharo 9th April 2014 07:32 PM

^ All right. Thank you!

happiholic★ 9th April 2014 11:01 PM

The promo pics don't exactly scream "fighter", so much as... "ghost #14 From The Woman in Black".

tokyoxjapanxfan 10th April 2014 12:23 AM

Mika looks fierce. Miliyah looks like Fantine from Les Mis.

blackmage 10th April 2014 03:12 AM

OMMMMMGGGG... While I agree that the promo pic doesn't look fighter-ish, I still think they look flawless and amazing. Its very Vampiric looking. Definitely Interview with the vampire looking.

NintendoHTF1242 10th April 2014 08:13 PM

God I fucking love the promo picture. Mika and Miliyah are so fierce.

ayu_ready? 18th April 2014 04:53 PM

she's been looking great lately and I love the both girls :)

Does anyone else have trouble scrobbling a few LOVELAND songs? Like they won't show up in the library.

freedreamer 23rd April 2014 03:55 AM

She looks amazing in the chained up scenes of Fighter's PV *.*

Ashen Twilight 23rd April 2014 05:00 AM

I wish there were more scenes of Mika fighting and less spiderman scenes! Hopefully there is a movie-less edit.

YES, I wish she kicked some butt in the M/V with Mika though.

I am really hoping for a Spiderman-less version. The story for the M/V could be shown and visualized more without it! I want more Mika butt kicking action and maybe releasing Miliyah to kick butt with her, HAHA.

adantatu2 28th April 2014 12:21 AM

Miliyah is so pretty in the PV, i don't know why she looks like a horse in her photo shoots

brener 28th April 2014 06:59 PM

Both CD+DVD versions looks amazing. It was such a great collab indeed, Japanese Music Industry needs more of this.

x-megumi-x 19th May 2014 08:39 AM


tokyoxjapanxfan 19th May 2014 09:03 AM

I like the remix so much more than the original!

The video is ok, Mika doesn't do happy very well lol. But they both look good :)

kakumei 24th June 2014 04:42 PM

new single listed for 9.3 release now, two editions.

tokyoxjapanxfan 25th June 2014 07:34 AM

Great! Thanks for the info!

Chiharo 25th June 2014 08:39 AM

I can't wait for the single. I wonder what kind of style will she use now.

x-megumi-x 14th July 2014 09:54 AM

The new single is titled "YOU..." and it's a collaboration with Nakasone Izumi from the band HY. :)

NintendoHTF1242 16th July 2014 05:37 AM

So basic lol but pretty

blackmage 21st July 2014 11:13 PM

YOU has that perfect sound for ending credits for a movie or drama, I can see why it was chosen? or She did that on purpose, haha.

BTW, was there ever translations made for the rest of LOVELAND; the non single songs? I saw the ones that tenshi no hane did, but I was curious about the rest. I haven't found any online.

OMG, that would be so amazing. <3 I'm really curious about Shape or heart, One night only and Reisei to Jonetsu no Aida for the most part.

Mr. Goto 22nd July 2014 06:37 AM

I think tenshi no hane did the translations for Shape of heart and Reisei to Jounetsu no Aida in the previous thread.

You're right and I forgot about that. Thanks for pointing that out. I guess just One Night Only is really it.. haha

chocopockymaster 26th July 2014 08:50 PM

Sorry this took so long! Work was hell this week. I have kind of a hard time translating Miliyah's lyrics sometimes...and that was certainly an exercise in kanji recognition, lol.

This can’t be real, I wanna touch you
My body’s on fire
I can’t be a good girl tonight
Rock my body, make it burn
Do it just for me
Don’t ask why I came to see you

Kick your shoes off
Anytime, I’m ready to go
Loneliness, don’t fade away
Focus my heart
Here in our bare feet, say you love me

*repeat

You steal your kisses over and over
Maybe we can go all night
Waiting for a sign, there’s a lump in my throat
I’m addicted to how daring you are

I’ll never forget the rhythm
pulsating behind those closed doors
I’ll keep our secret
That glimmering, wavering light
will keep on keeping on

*repeat

My imagination is running away with me
You don’t have to be gentle
Ask for whatever you want
I can be your girl tonight

*repeat

Wow, I have to admit I wasn't expecting much from the preview we had, but it ended up being beautiful!

Also excited about the two remixes :)

ayu_ready? 8th August 2014 07:14 PM

nice PV

tenshi no hane 8th August 2014 09:47 PM

She looks beautiful. Lovely PV. I don't really care for the song, though.

chocopockymaster 22nd August 2014 05:23 PM

I think 'Kono machi no dokoka de' is one of my favorite songs of hers. And I've been translating a song-per-day to get my skills back up to snuff, so I did this one today :luv2

Spoiler:
I loved you
so much so that even now,
I feel like these bittersweet memories
could rip me apart
If we run into each other one day somewhere in this city,
I know this fleeting hope will come back

But I didn’t want a love I had to chase after
I longed for the days we could never go back to

*I embarrassed you when I cried
over our meaningless fights
There was so much I wanted to tell you
But everything’s changed now
I’m not crying anymore
I’m okay now
I’m stronger than I used to be
So please…

I thought maybe you’d call
so I never deleted your phone number
I pretended to forget,
went out and met new people,
but it’s no use
You’re the one I want

On rainy days, on windy days, I think of you
Forgive me for still feeling this way

**I know your heart’s not in it anymore
I understand
it’s already too late
I’m stronger than I used to be
Take one more look at the new me,
if we run into each other one day somewhere in this city
I’m stronger than I used to be
Hold me close…

I want to see you just one more time, (God please listen)
to start everything over from the beginning (I wanna go back to that day)
If we tried it now, I know we could do things right
Will you call out to me again?

* repeat
** repeat

Pieces_of_SEVEN 22nd August 2014 06:24 PM

getting tired of her duets. and a remix on sayonara baby? that's random

waterballoon 27th August 2014 04:42 PM

does anyone concur? DESIRE is her best song ever and her best single. i just love it so much ever since the 1st day I heard it when the PV was out. summer's melancholy and really really beautiful lyrics

chocopockymaster 27th August 2014 04:49 PM

I actually don't think I've heard it before...thanks for the rec, I'll look it up!

chocopockymaster 27th August 2014 05:08 PM

Hmm. Thanks for the pv, but the song doesn't really do much for me. :/ Maybe I would feel differently if I didn't want summer to end but this year I don't really give a damn so...haha. I'll try it again next summer!

Chiharo 27th August 2014 05:33 PM

@waterballoon I do (well, on the best single ever statement). DESIRE/BABY!BABY!BABY! is really one of the strongest singles ever in Jpop probably. I think I love BABY!BABY!BABY! a bit more than DESIRE, though. And Ain't no other (the b-side) is amazing beyond words for me. For some reason because it's so underrated I prefer it to both A-sides, really. I really can't tell which is my best Miliyah song, though. There are many, many masterpieces to choose from.

@chocopockymaster The song does take a few listens to grow. Many people rarely like songs on the first listen anyway.

Utena 27th August 2014 05:51 PM

Ain't no other is also my favorite out of the 3 songs ♥
I honestly cannot pick one song as being my favorite, she has way too many awesome songs.

On another note, she'll be releasing her very first artist book in collaboration with CD Data magazine

「Cupido-クピド-」
2014.10.02 OUT

There's also a 10th anniversary album listed for a 10/29 release. 2 versions, I don't know exactly what type of album it'll be though.

NintendoHTF1242 28th August 2014 06:46 AM

Miliyah has such a good discography that I don't think I can even make a top 3 list lol. 20-CRY- is definitely number one though. God, that song.

Utena 8th September 2014 04:29 PM

New album announced

加藤ミリヤ 10周年記念!女性コラボ10曲と大ヒットリミックスの2枚組豪華盤!
10周年イヤーのアイコンとなる企画アルバム。究極の片思いソング「YOU... feat. 仲宗根泉(HY)」やアメイジングスパイダーマンでも話題となった中島美嘉とのコラボ「Fighter」も 収録。さらに、女性アーティストを迎え、数々のコラボレーションに挑戦した今作は、10周年を迎えるにふさ わしい豪華な内容となっている。DISC2には、「Aitai」や「Love Forever」を始めとする、あの名曲たちの名リミックスを集めたリミックスベストを収録予定。
Description says it's a collaboration album with women who inspired Miliyah. The second CD will be a collection of remixes of her "masterpiece" songs, including Aitai and Love Forever.

I've seen a picture of JASMINE, and Thelma with AI recording so I guess we can assume we'll be getting new duets with these gals
