[Mika Nakashima] The 20th thread ~ 43rd single KISS OF DEATH (Produced by HYDE) {07.03.18}

[thinkingoutloud89]

I'm the one complaining about the people that bash covers for text-placement... but the title really looks cheap and misplaced lol

[Refix]

I just saw the image on her IG, out of the blue for me. Pretty cover. Reminds me of one of the song from Tough, Best Friend.

Mika walked the runway in today's Rakuten GirlsAward 2017 AUTUMN/WINTER where she was a special guest

I wonder how much hair spray Mika used cos wow it's over the top but she made it look so effortless

Mika really carried off the punk rock look very well

[chocopockymaster]

That entire look gets a hard pass from me. The wings of her eyeliner are going at a really awkward angle lol

[CatGirl]

Yaaas! I love her punk looks, those pants are everything

[adantatu2]

Gorgeous covers, she looks so pretty.

I'm surprised A or B is almost 6 mins long . Don't think the song stands out unlike Koi wo Suru but Mika looks very pretty

Mika really likes the old vintage Hollywood glam look which looks great on her

Anyway , Mika is in China right now , she performed yesterday in Hangzhou and she will be performing in Shenzhen tomorrow

So, not my typical favorite style of MIKA track. But this is such a nice throwback to her late 00's stuff from YES, VOICE, and NO MORE RULES era.

I just want a reggae track. A full-on Eien no Uta, My Sugar Cat, or the remix done for Ichiban Kirei na Watashi no on RELAXIN'. MIKA's actually blown me away the few times she does that style, because it works so well mixed in with her normal sound, but it's also a style her voice and singing style fits really well with. And TBH, I didn't like reggae until Eien no Uta. And then it made me fall in love with lecca. So, I'd love, love another reggae song, even if it's a b-side on a single.

The covers are gorgeous. But I wish she would have just done the typical AorB * MIKA NAKASHIMA at the bottom of the cover. Or just left the name off entirely. But I'm also someone who would gladly spend $15 just for a print of any MIKA cover. Her release covers are hands down my favorite among any artist, including English singers. So, you won't find me complaining about any of them.

MIKA is slowly closing in on single #50 though! I hope we get a couple more in the vein of Boku ga..., Forget Me Not, something like Over Load or Answer, and I'd LOVE another Birukaze-style track! ...and a new album by 2019. I'm still in love with so many tracks from TOUGH, but I wanted more recent/fresh material on there. I hope she can make this happen faster this time!
