What album would you guys recommend for a first time listener?

aloopy · #23 22nd April 2014, 11:39 PM

'NO MORE RULES' is a good pick for a first timer I guess.

YES, but Real also fine. If you prefer rock song, then The End would be suit for you.

According to what Mylene wrote on her Twitter , Gift will now also get a PV alongside with Fighter

Makes sense since now it's a double A-side & not a single A-side that Mika x Miliyah are releasing

I would also recommend Star as it's got a good mix of songs. It's also the album that got me properly back into Mika after being quite disappointed by Voice.

Utena · #32 23rd April 2014, 11:41 PM

MUSIC used to be my personal favorite and the one I would usually recommend, but I think STAR is a pretty good first album to listen to. It shows the most diversity and contains some of her best songs IMO. If you like jazzy songs try out LOVE, it's a very cohesive album in that sense.

Are the lyrics for fighter out anywhere?

chikocchi · #34 24th April 2014, 07:59 AM

I say listen to "MUSIC" for a first time listener
STAR is also good

I haven't had the time to make a romaji version or translate yet

Thanks for the lyrics, Utena! Here's a rough translation for you guys.

Quote:

I can be much stronger
cause I can feel you
wherever you are

Now I know you're always with me
But I can't see the fire in your eyes
It begins with you standing there as a warrior,
burning with pride so hot you can't be touched

You're the one that I live for
You're a very lonely fighter
I wish you would stay
But you won't do that for me
You're taking a stand
somewhere in the corners of the world
But if you can feel me...
You're the one that I live for
You're a fighter, fighter
Fighter, fighter

That sounds like our love story
That sounds like...I feel like...
That sounds like our love story

I miss you, I wanna hold you
On nights I miss you and can't sleep
I look out the window and remember our upside-down kiss
It's the only way to fly, high and I
Even if I'm sad, I won't cry cause I
am connected by this red string of fate to you, my one & only

As I watch you walk away
my heart is crying
But I believe you'll come back to me with a smile
I'm with you, my love

You're the one that I live for
You're a very brave fighter
Even if you run forward with all your strength
If you turn back, you'll see the soul you left behind
You're barefoot, walking this thorny path
Undertaking every test
You're the one that I live for
So lonely fighter, fighter
Fighter, fighter

Where are you from?
Where do you go?
Please take me with you somewhere
Just be yourself, I can't deny

If it ever gets hard for you,
just remember me
I'm sending all my thoughts to you
I love you more

You're the one that I live for
You're a very lonely fighter
I know that even today, you're still fighting
because it's what makes you who you are
If I'm about to break, if I stumble and fall
I know you'll find me
You're the one that I live for
You're a fighter, fighter
Fighter, fighter

I'm so happy too that there are multiple cover albums. I love the white outfit covers more than the black. the CD+DVD Mika version is slightly the best though.

chocopockymaster · #39 29th April 2014, 03:27 PM

I don't think I was expecting the Fighter remix to be in English, lol. I get the reasoning behind it, but...holy Engrish, Batman.

Utena · #40 29th April 2014, 06:12 PM

ahah, it's pretty awful imo.. Miliyah did ok, but Mika.. I can barely understand what she says at times.. not to mention her voice ugh. The auto tune edit didn't really help either. And come to think that this is going to be release worldwide... Would have preferred the Japanese version... At least the lyrics are actually decent, from what I can understand.

Hopefully Gift will be a good song
