[Mika Nakashima] Why not MIKA NAKASHIMA?

C+R+E+AYUMI · #1 14th July 2009, 01:57 PM

Hello members!!
just have a curiosity..even lately I don't listen much to her album, Mika Nakashima is always one of my favourite voices among the artiste I like the most. But my feeling is that here in AHS there are just a few fans of her and much less attention is paid to this singer.
I just wonder why most of you don't appreciate her or just don't pay attention to it.

o_O

if what you said it's true , then how come Mika has 11 threads & counting to her name so far in the Artistes & Bands section - http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=90904

it's just that it has been quite quiet around her since the release of her Over Load single so hopefully something new will materialise soon

Lol I don't know but maybe her voice doesn't exactly appeal to most people I guess?

Anyway she hasn't been releasing much lately so I guess that's why nobody's talking about her at the moment LOL.

i'm a mika fan!!!!!!

she's my 2nd favorite japanese singer now (behind namie)

i love her voice sooo much and her music is really good

That's why i created this thread...I think her first 3 albums were exactly amazing and her voice, wow is awesome. Moreover she's a gorgeous girl and very stylish but cannot really explain why she's so underrated

aloopy · #6 14th July 2009, 05:01 PM

hmhh maybe because her music isn't really mainstream..

her albums sell good though, she's had a few million selling albums in the past as well

zomg I LOVE Mika!!! Love Addict was on repeat for like, ever XD She is the only artist I know that can make a 7 minute song feel like only 4 ;-; She has gorgeous arrangements in a lot of her songs too. LEGEND (Main) is one of my favorite songs ever too.

I like Mika, but she's not very mainstream since after NANA imo.

i only got into mika from LIFE and onwards, but i love her so much.

maybe she's a bit underrated, though. it just depends on people's preferences in music

She's friggin awesome!!!

The_Swede · #11 14th July 2009, 07:59 PM

^ Lucky!!

She's my second fav singer. (Ayu's first place)
I like the fact that she does non-mainstream music.

To be honest, there are very few artists I just don't like, but Mika is one of them.

I've tried to get into her, but the only songs by her I like are her Nana ones. I just don't like her voice really...and a lot of her songs are Jazzy but I don't like Jazz.

She really is quite popular though. I don't think she's too want for attention.

i was a bigger Mika fan prior to anything "YES" related.

i liked "VOICE" to an extent, but i think her earlier work is her best.

***ImpactBreaker*** · #16 15th July 2009, 02:08 AM

She's fantastic. One of my most favorite japanese artists. I like how she tries uncoventional genres compared to the usual JPOP. And her PVs are always very artistic and nice to watch.

KarenPang · #17 15th July 2009, 02:15 AM

She alongside with Ken Hirai much later on , changed my whole perception on the fact that Jazz = boring which I now know it's not TRUE at all

+ she can work rock music so easily & flawlessly too & no I'm not referring to her MICA 3 CHU single

but rather her NANA works & face it , L'arc en ciel's hyde's a GENIUS when comes to composing GLAMOROUS SKY

it's still her only #1 single to date somemore

Polyrhythm · #18 15th July 2009, 02:40 AM

Uh...I liked LIFE and Orion.....but I think she has a thread already. I swear I've seen it somewhere

i hear ya! i never liked jazz music lol. but mika changed that.

and glamorous sky is one of the best japanese songs i've ever heard. i never get bored of it.

and i said this before but i will say it again: it's a shame that that's her only #1 single!

oh well better luck next time!

ugh yeah that sucks man T_T

but it's a good song no doubt & it's her 2nd best selling single since Stars somemore so that's kinda comforting .. sorta
