didn't really hear that much piano going on in the short preview for Ashita Sekai ga Owaru Nara but I have a weakness for piano ballads so x)

What are you talking about? The entire thing is piano!

Feels so nice to have her back after one loooong year ♥
That was just my first impression. It's changed a little since then, but it's only a preview too. It's just that she does have quite a few songs with piano and little else for the instrumentation, and to be honest I tend to get a tad bored when that's the case. It is very pretty though from what we can hear in the preview though!

The covers are so Leslie, he is obsessed with hands on the head, but they are pretty.

Konoshin arranged the song it seems, he did a few songs for Mika already since her debut (recently the 2011 version of A MIRACLE FOR YOU), maybe that's why?

I believe this is the first CD cover with her smile? She often looks serious in her CD covers.

Mika said it is so i guess it is the first time she intended a smile on a cover.

The concept for the photoshoot was:
"Beautiful expression in which the strength that might reassure a special person oozes despite the transience that shows indescribable feelings of sadness and painfulness."

So yeah, I guess it's the way it should be. It looks creepy and forced because it was the way they wanted it to look.

Credits for the songs are out

1. 明日世界が終わるなら
（作詞・作曲：杉山勝彦　編曲：河野伸）
2. SUPER WOMAN
（作詞：中島美嘉 /作曲：Josefin Glenmark・Mats Tarnfors）

Sugiyama wrote Ichiban Kirei na Watashi wo and Dear for Mika.
Konoshin did the arrangements for tons of Mika's songs and he also tours with her since her debut days

-------------------------------------



UHQ promo and limited cover



That's weird that they didn't use her name in kanji on the cover as they usually do when it's a Japanese title.


and.. another promo picture which should have been used as one of the covers *__* but I'm pretty sure it'll end up in the booklet

Spoiler:

It's not a cover, they probably just used Josefin's demo, and Mika wrote the lyrics
