Well, that and Mika's hiatus was for medical reasons and not because she felt the need to go hibernate somewhere out of the public eye, lol.

Compilation CD from Mika Nakashima contains her healing songs. Also includes her reading of poet(s)

[ayu_ready?]

new album? what?

[chocopockymaster]

Seriously, Sony??? omg I am so pressed right now. They literally had her record some poems and threw together some old remixes and are calling it a new album? /HULK SMASH

[Delicious n Bold]

Damn that's disappointing
I hope it flops and Sony learns a lesson not to do this

[Utena]

they didn't call it a new album though, it's supposedly a "healing collection" :x
At least they made it a bit interesting for fans. They could have included a new remix or something though...

oh wait I've just noticed 桜色舞うころ feat. 溝口肇
don't think I've ever heard that one

[chocopockymaster]

Yeah, I was so pissed I didn't take the time to phrase that correctly. I'm just so fed up with these endless compilations...first the cover album, then TEARS and DEARS, and now this? How much new material have we ACTUALLY gotten in the past year despite the insane amount of releases she's had? I'm so over it, omfg

[NintendoHTF1242]

I actually would buy that album LOL I really like chill albums and Mika's voice is perfect for that shit. I understand y'all frustration but this release got me moist.

[Delicious n Bold]

OMG they called it a HEALING album in Japanese.


Although to be fair one link called it a new album. Uncertain Chanteuse.

[Utena]

I honestly thought it would be a bunch of remixes with another cheap cover but they made it interesting to me. The covers are super pretty and most songs/remixes are some of my favs ever ♥

I already know I'm gonna have a hard time translating Mika's poems though...
I would have liked a new studio album but oh well. I don't see this happening anytime soon somehow...

[mi|kshake]

Sorta interested in this album, although think I need some more info. But what is with all the compilation albums - are Sony trying to get rid of her?

[adantatu2]

I love the covers, and I usually didn't listen to her remixes, so it's ok

Before her marriage was announced , everyone all thought it was so odd for her to release Zutto Suki datta , DEARS & TEARS randomly outta the blue

But now quite a lot of fans speculate that after she finish her best tour , she might go on hiatus or something but it's hard to say

That's probably why Sony has been putting out a lot of random strange releases from her , in the worst case scenario that she might not release anything else in the near future

That said , I love the covers & promo pic of RELAXIN' . My bad I should have posted earlier on that it's a concept album , not a new album :x

I never seen any other artistes putting out an album with poems as interludes so it's a 1st if not interesting xD

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Totally into the concept of this album.

Definitely looking forward to listening to it haha.

I like this kind of music for spring.
