Photoshoot that Mika did last week



https://www.facebook.com/MikaNakashi...type=1&fref=nf

Not sure if it's for a new single or magazine photospread but ugh new single please Mika ;__;

I'm going to pretend that DEARS & TEARS were never released in the 1st place

[Utena]

I have no idea what it's for but I can see "141115_calendar" written on the name files... wonder if that's significant. I don't know but for some reason it screams Leslie Kee, the lightning, arms up, portrait shot... we'll see >_< but it got me excited, can't lie about that

Not so sure about the "141115_calendar" , maybe it's to indicate that the photoshoot took place on Sun / 151114 ?

After all , the Facebook page was posted 3 days ago so

that rabbit on her head is really disturbing

yeah I was more referring to the word "calendar" itself. As in... maybe they're going to release a calendar first press like they did with ALWAYS...? could very well be a magazine photoshoot but I doubt so, they wouldn't say "secret photoshoot" otherwise ahah.. Could also be for an upcoming Leslie Kee photobook/exposition if it's him.
We'll know in due time

Her calendars were always so gorgeous. I would die for another one!

Haha yeah fair enough . If not there wouldn't be the mention of calendar in the 1st place

Hopefully this photoshoot Mika did last week will signal something positive for her as really , she doesn't deserve to be treated by Sony in this manner . I hope 2015 will be better for her , in terms of releases & other stuff
