[Mika Nakashima] The 16th thread ~35th single Ashita Sekai ga Owarunara out on 19th Sept

[Utena]

I thought it was a cute story to share as most of us are also ayu fans

Aomori City is the capital city of Aomori Prefecture, in the northern Tōhoku region of Japan with a population of 300,000.
Hamasaki Ayumi held her concert there on May 25 & 26.
Mika also held hers on May 26.

One of Ayu's fan who went to Mika's concert for the first time tweeted:

Nakashima Mika's talk was so natural that I found it pretty enjoyable!
She answered "I know!" to the audience's "Kawaii" calls. And also answered to the question "Did you eat something local yesterday?", "I ate hamburg steak! No relation to Aomori though."
And she talked that she went shopping for her manager's clothes to a discount store after arriving Aomori, and also talked that the penlights didn't look other than "pink" despite her prediction that they would look "fuchsia pink".

And then, an unexpected happened...........she started to mention.....
When she visited Aomori for the first time four years ago, she came to really like Aomori for the warmth of the people in Aomori. And after that, she asked her staff to add Aomori to her every concert tour.
And then...
"Therefore...I'll certainly come to Aomori again!...Even if I and Hamasaki Ayumi-san fight over the audience!"

My mind went blank, for I never thought I heard the word "Hamasaki Ayuki" in her concert!!!
** The tweeter went to Ayumi's concert that he had waited for 13 years on the previous day **

After Mika's talk, there were lots of "wow-ees" from the audience. Then she embarrassingly added "No, no, no, Hamasaki-san is a really nice person. So I can't tell a joke about her much."
My favorability rating for Nakashima Mika rose sharply to hear these talks!!

That was really randomly cute but so awesome at the same time ahah. I could find bits of myself in that person <3

Interesting title.

[KarenPang]

Wow

Sounds like a really deep in thought title o_o . Wonder whether will it be another Ashita Sekai ga Owarunara ?

[ILoveGeniuses]

I cant even read half of that LOL

[adantatu2]

According to google:

僕が死のうと思ったのは

romaji: Boku ga shinou to omotta no wa

translation And I thought I would have died and the

[Utena]

correct translation: The reason why I thought I'd die
And it's written from a man's perspective because of the "boku". Interesting.

[NintendoHTF1242]

First she sings about the world ending and now she's singing about dying? Girl.

[adantatu2]

She is emo, XD.

amazarashi's Akita Hiromu provides new song for Nakashima Mika

amazarashi's Akita Hiromu has provided the song "Boku ga Shinou to Omotta no wa" for Nakashima Mika.

Nakashima approached Akita for the collaboration as "Boku ga Shinou to Omotta no wa" is originally amazarashi's song. It's an important song to Akita because he's held onto it for many years. Nakashima, who received the demo from Akita, commented, "It's a wonderful song. I want this song to be heard until the very end. If not, [the full emotion of it won't be conveyed]."

The lyrics are already available on the lyrics website, 'Utamap'.

In addition, a mysterious countdown has started on Nakashima's official website. Fans can look forward to what will happen once this countdown hits 0.

is anyone interested in a pair of tickets for the second Tokyo show (July 21st)? I have extra tickets, seats are not so bad (2nd floor, 9th row ; good view of the stage + there'll be big screens right in front of you)

C'mon Mika's channel, i'm not from Narnia.
Anyway thanks Utena, sadly i don't like this song

[ILoveGeniuses]

^Her youtube channel not work for u either?

[Utena]

^ it's Japan only sadly, but she has another international VEVO channel but they haven't uploaded the video yet..

[ILoveGeniuses]

^I'm finding EVERY Japanese artist signed under Sony Music Japan is "Japan Only" for youtube channels. There's a few other artists under the same label which I listen to that are also like that as well. It is SOOOOOO annoying.

[Delicious n Bold]

Listened to the rip and I liked it.
The title irks me because we just learned the volitional form + omou in class, so I look at the translated title and im like wtf. Maybe it's because the 'no' can be anything and 'reason' is in the lyrics and not title.
Regardless, good song. Mika's really trying to get me. it's working.
