Mika Nakashima - Aishiteru

07 Sep 2009 11:09:44 PDT

Written by solarblade
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...

Mika Nakashima - FIND THE WAY Review

05 Sep 2009 12:36:44 PDT

Written by bucebucethecaboose
FIND THE WAY by Mika Nakashima FIND THE WAY wasn’t great, but it wasn’t terrible. The A-side is a ballad, nothing more to say about that. The remixes on here didn’t bring anything interesting though. So I wasn’t disappointed with this single at all, I just wasn’t impressed either. C

Mika Nakashima - TRUE

15 Jul 2009 22:12:06 PDT

Written by solarblade
I’m still not the biggest fan when it comes to Helpless Rain just because the entire song just wasn’t working for me…the male BKGD singers, Mika overly stressed vocals, and basically the odd mix of the instrumentation and the oddly strings altogether made up a mess on the song….it could be h...

Mika Nakashima - ONE SURVIVE Review

14 Apr 2009 02:26:17 PDT

Written by bucebucethecaboose
ONE SURVIVE by Mika Nakashima ONE SURVIVE is another great single in this TRUE era. I like the A-side, the B-side, and the remixes present on the single. The arrangements this time around are still fun jazz tracks, which is a great sound for Mika and her vocals.

Opinion: Mika Nakashima [THE END] (Fourth Album)

06 Apr 2009 10:17:43 PDT

Written by memoriesoflove
The next track on the album is Blowing Out. I honestly don’t get this title, but Mika certainly rocks out with this song. I mean it sounds like one of those mainstream punk rock songs from over here, seriously. The arrangement right down to Mika’s vocals. I really enjoyed the chorus. I mean this so...

Christmas Post #19 - Mika Nakashima - I DON'T KNOW [26th Single]

23 Dec 2008 00:10:01 PST

Written by blackmager
Apparently, Mika was going through some serious PMSing when she was making this single, and SHUT UP proves it. It’s even angrier than I Don’t Know with a much rougher electric guitar. Sadly, it’s just not as interesting as I Don’t Know due to it’s lack of something catchy enough. I’ll admit, th...

Christmas Post #18 - Mika Nakashima - Eien No Uta [24th Single]

21 Dec 2008 21:39:03 PST

Written by blackmager
Out of all her covers during this era, the cover for Eien no Uta definitely wins for the best cover. While Mika looks like a freak, it works amazingly well here. Her dress is amazingly elaborate and gorgeous, and I love the whole dark color scheme going on here. The cover is very haunting, and I lo...

Mika Nakashima: VOICE

02 Dec 2008 14:10:49 PST

Written by noahfurlani
TRUST YOUR VOICE provides a little bit of flavor after the two ballads we heard before. I really like the chorus on this song, with the gospel singers in the back, singing “TRUST YOUR VOICE!” An original, fun track which has the honor of being on the inside of Mika’s right hand.
