Mika Nakashima - Aishiteru

What a beautiful opening Aishiteru has.  Mika seems to be getting more used to her vocals and somehow it worked really nicely with this ballad.  I really love the plucked strings laying in the background while piano and strings move Mika forward.  I think it’s a rather nice ballad for Mika to s...

This is Mika’s first single to contain remixes and she first pulls up a remix from her last single.  CRESCENT MOON and it’s remix aren’t too different from each other, because they both are danceable track altogether, so it’s not so much any better than each other.  I’m sure there’s somethin...

I don’t really care for that to be honest xD What is your favorite group/singer? I like a lot of singers! Utada, Ayumi, Koda, Leah, Namie, alan, misono, Hitomi Yaida, Mika Nakashima, Ai Otsuka! Too many to pick from! But all time would have to tie with Utada and Ayumi. I Love them both =]
