-one of my favorite videos, along with will!! I'm waiting for hitori and hinotori! and and Legend!! and and so many more!!! xD

[mi|kshake]

Yay so happy these PVs are being uploaded!

[thinkingoutloud89]

I#ve never been a fan pre-LIFE for most of the stuff and these MVs are mostly tacky af (even for the times standards) and most of the songs are still pretty boring. Out of the Videos above I only like RESISTANCE as a song, but that video is boring and also pretty tacky.

[Sky High]

Was fan till REAL. I liked that they uploaded her older videos, making offs.

[visionfactory]

Oh my god I've never seen RESISTANCE PV, the street scene reminds me of Namie's break the rules photoshoot which I love

Maybe with the quarantine I'll dig into her videos and might find some nice songs because I don't know most of her discography

[KarenPang]

Some of Mika's old songs are still some of her best works up to now & her 1st proper BEST album is a great release to (re)discover her old works

BEST was also the 1st few JPop CDs I bought when I started listening to JPop

And the PV making of footages uploaded on YouTube so far are probably the same ones included in Mika's FILM LOTUS video releases . That I'm not sure cos I don't own any of them :s

[thinkingoutloud89]

^maybe it's that strange church sound (tbqh I don't even know what it is) but i really only like 2 o 3 songs on BEST.

Actually I just looked it up. 5, the rest put me to sleep and are unbearable to sit through for me. Funny enough, everything after YES I love.


RESISTANCE
Yuki no Hana (雪の華) (just ok)
SEVEN (not that great tho)
Oborozukiyo ~Inori (朧月夜～祈り) (masterpiece)
GLAMOROUS SKY

Your vehement dislike of her early discography is making me want to get off my ass and finish my vinyl collection of her early works lol

I will defend them til the day I die
