[Beauty4123]

the covers are even better in HQ! mika is just so pretty. i also love her shoes on that promo pic, lol.

[Chandrachan]

The covers are beautifull and the song rocks Great to see Mika back

[jbrat2219]

Mika is so gorgeous! The song sounds promising!

[ohsixthirty]

the covers really are beautiful! it seems like a strange fit for the rockish nature of the song though?

[Utena]

I translated LOVE IS ECSTASY and 16 if anyone is interested. Took me a while to translate 16 because it's has a background story and in order to put it in words properly i had to do some thinking lol..

Wow, I didn't expect such complex lyrics for a song like 16 lol. How does the title relate to the lyrics though?

[Utena]

Mika is talking about her when she was 16 YO lol
That's also why it was so hard to translate, if you're not in Mika's brain it's hard to tell what she intended to mean

[NintendoHTF1242]

Oh wow, very interesting! Give's a whole new perspective on the song. Thanks for the hard work :]

[TITANIC]

she looks little bit like Erika in her cover and HOT rock song but I'm not sure if it's better than the EPIC Glamorous Sky

[KarenPang]

LOVE IS ECSTASY full song

[Beauty4123]

i seriously love "LOVE IS ECSTASY". it's awesome! i wonder what the PV will be like.

[Lady~Deviance]

Am I the only Mika fan that does not like the song?

The song does nothing for me sad to say.

[Utena]

maybe you'll like the b-side if not then you'll still have the PV to look foward and then the next single it's not like she's going to stick with the rock style anyway.

[Tom Punks]

I like the song! This topic just reminded me I still need to redownload her discography, ugggh.

[Mirrorcle Monster]

Iwant her to go back to reggae/jazz for next single
I wasnt a hardcore Mika fan, but I love all of her recent singles (since 2008) and GLAMOROUS SKY is one of my favourite songs ever. So i thought about starting to discover her early days...and I must say that i am AMAZED by how good she was on early 2000s. I love RESISTANCE, SEVEN and LEGEND the most. I also started to love Eien no Uta a lot. Its been a long time since I was that obsessed with an artist, she is so great. And I also love LOVE is ECSTASY, even if her voice doesnt sound too great

[Tom Punks]

^ Eien no uta is AMAZING. I would love it if she went back to her reggae/jazz hybrids like that one.

I think my top three for Mika are Rocking Horse, Venus in The Dark, and eien no uta.

[Mirrorcle Monster]

^My Mika top 3 would be:
1.GLAMOROUS SKY
2.LEGEND
3.RESISTANCE

[NintendoHTF1242]

I went camping and there was a trail you had to walk on to get to the campsite and I played Memory while walking and I fell in love with the world again lol. I'm weird I know. But Memory is just the perfect song to play when all you can see are trees, butterflies and the sun trying to creep through the leaves. Mika makes such atmospheric music, nobody else can make music like her.

[chu-lips]

i saw on wikipedia that nakashima mika yuki no hana have an english version...
anyone has it..?

As for the song, I think the "rough style" was intended. Her voice sounded very much fine during the two concerts I went.
bigger covers

Simply Stunning.
