Honestly I don't know what to feel about this but this release is to celebrate Mika's 15th anniversary

At least there's a new song included in the CD but why indigo & Forget Me Not are excluded ?

Funny that Mika is going the same route that AKIHIDE is doing except Mika's a songbook + CD combo while AKIHIDE's a picture book + CD combo

jesus christ, another complication :-/
She is one of my favourite, but this is too much, way too much.

It actually looks good & I suppose if you're a super big fan you will buy it as SONGBOOK あまのじゃく covers Mika's history , pictures/sketches Mika draws & of course a new photoshoot

That said it's interesting SONGBOOK あまのじゃく deemed a limited item & it will contain 240 pages :dead2

Jesus! How many compilations must we have before we can get a new studio album? It does look very pretty and if I didn't know any better I'd say that promo pic was from the Voice album booklet (not a bad thing!)

Want to say that Bill Kaze Swimming School Feat SALU is quite nice . The way Mika sings in the song is very different from the usual way she sings

Too bad I don't see it being released physically :x

FOR FUCK'S SAKE HOW MANY COMPILATION ALBUMS DO WE NEED?????

I'm just so fed up with her and her team... It's a nice release in itself, if it had been the only compilation she had released. But it's not, I'm not even sure I'll buy it...

Oh well, she was in the studio this week, maybe we can hope for some kind of new song release... maybe a single with a bit of luck?! -_-

Crap, enough with best or whatsoever compilation. It's getting so annoying.

Just needed to say how much VOICE feels I'm getting, from this picture & the other shots from booklet. :luv2 Super gorgeous! But I hope we'll get a new single soon. :)

I honestly couldn't stand to hear MIKA sing as she has in the last couple years on a new song. I liked Hanataba, but that was far from where she was prior to hiatus. I hope her voice can be strengthened. I miss her frequent singles, her ballads, and her last several singles were all so well written and melodic. Apart from YES era, she's been one of the few super solid artists for her entire career... nothing's ever been a complete let down compared to her prior work, or been a complete shock.

I just want her to come back strong, carry forward her ideas and her stunning visuals (she has the absolute prettiest covers, PVs, CMs, photobooks), and have an extensive and successful career. No reason she can't be our Akina Nakamori in 15-20 years.

I'm really disappointed to see her smoking in that clip -- one would think after all the problems she was having with her voice she would have quit. :no

Sony Music Taiwan wrote that Forget Me Not will have a style similar to ORION & ALWAYS

https://www.facebook.com/sonymusicjp...191337/?type=3

That paper airplane is so weird...not natural..

"ORION" & "ALWAYS" are some of my most favorite ballads! So I can't wait to hear "Forget Me Not". :heart Plus - Mika's simply gorgeous in both covers, too - and that promo pic... :luv2

Good time I'm not seeing these images at night
