^I know there are so many covers of hers I love although I always prefer her singles to album covers.

I'm planning on buying Oborozukiyo ~Inori at some point because of the cover (found it second hand on Amazon). I would love posters of her covers too. I really need to be checking YesAsia next time I'm in love with one of her single covers! I wouldn't mind a poster of all her covers to date.

My favourite covers are:

Oborozukiyo ~Inori
Hi No Tori
Legend (my first Mika single - bought because of the single/PV)
Eien no Uta
Candy Girl
Nagareboshi
Hatsukoi

Coming-of-age comedy set to hit screens



Film Our Shining Days, a coming-of-age comedy, aims to encourage dream-chasers with an inspirational story.

The story penned by Bao Jingjing, the winner of the Golden Horse best adapted screenplay award for Love is Not Blind in 2012, is a typical Bao work focusing on ordinary people.

Set in a high school specializing in training musical talent, the movie follows a young girl's efforts to set up a folk music band.

The movie, directed by Wang Ran, stars Xu Lu, Peng Yuchang, Liu Yongxi and Luo Mingjie.

The upcoming feature will open across Chinese mainland theatres on July 20.

Hong Kong veteran musician Kubert Leung is the movie's music director, and the singers are Japanese pop diva Mika Nakashima, Chinese mainland songwriter-singer Zhou Bichang, and Taiwan singers Aska Yang and Lala Hsu.

The movie marks veteran producer Bill Kong's latest investment in a coming-of-age movie, 10 years after he produced Jay Chou's directorial debut, Secret, also about youngsters.

Around 1,000 preview screenings were recently held across the nation, and most of them gave the movie thumbs-up. The film's score on the movie site Maoyan.com is 9.1 points out of 10.

At this year's Shanghai International Film Festival, the movie won five awards in the media favourite section, including for best new director and best supporting actress.

Guess that was 1 of the reason/s why Mika went China last month , aside from announcing her upcoming 1st live in Shanghai

the song's really nice, is her Mandarin any good? x)
it kind of sounds weird hearing her sing in another language.

Also, she looks great lately, wavy black long hair really suits her the best.

Thank goodness there're Mandarin subtitles on the video clip . Mika's Mandarin pronunciation ain't perfect but at least she tried her best cos for a Japanese to speak Mandarin , it ain't easy

But eh Denkosekka no Ma sounds nice , kinda reminds me of Ai no Uta to a certain extent and I like the Chinese Guzheng strings in the mix too

[ayu_ready?]

well, the covers are gorgeous!

Yes, I just noticed that yesterday! So excited. I'm kind of shocked to see Yuki no Hana has over 400,000 plays already.

Also, I'd love to try a Mika song-themed drink lol

[Refix]

I love all the song but I'm not to fond with her low key in some, too much.
