Google translate Japanese badly, can anyone translate to English?

I don't know what happened!! I thought I gave my comment under a lot of new MIKA pics, dressed in blue sweater with butterflies, and blue jeans. But afterwards I only saw a page with Japanese letters !? Does anybody know where these pics are now ? I haven't seen them again...

 

Love, love

ミーカ (Mika) @ 渋谷NHKホール 2016.02.18

 

終わらないパーティー

 

音楽ライブという域を大きく越えた、見事なエンターテイメント・ショーだった。主役であるミーカの歌唱と躍動感あるパフォーマンス、仕掛けいっぱい の舞台セット、そして茶目っ気たっぷりのMCや観客とのコール&レスポンス。そういったすべての要素が組み合わさって夢のようなショーを創り上げていた。

 全編通じて一番感じたのは、ミーカと観客との強い一体感。ミーカがマイクを向けて合唱を促せば客席は大きな声で応えるし、アップテンポな曲では ミーカと一緒に手を挙げて体を揺らし、彼がMCで何か語りかければそれに対するリアクションや彼の名前を呼ぶ声が次々起こる。ミーカは「どうしたらお客さ んが楽しんでくれるか」を全力で考えているし、観客からも「ミーカに日本でのライブを楽しんでほしい」という気持ちが溢れんばかりに伝わってくる。アー ティストと観客がここまで相思相愛なライブを見たのは久々で、その場にいるだけで幸せな気持ちになる2時間だった。

 

開演時刻を10分ほど過ぎ、観客が期待でそわそわしはじめたところで、きらびやかなタキシードに身を包んだミーカが颯爽と現れた。舞台を隠す幕の 前、ぽつんと置かれたピアノに腰掛け静かに歌い始めたのは「ポールセリン」。ピアノの一音一音、声の一つ一つを、きちんと届くように丁寧に奏でていくミー カ。そこにバンドの演奏と美しいコーラスが加わり、会場が一気に熱を帯びてくる。
 
 時おり顔を客席側に向けて観客とコンタクトを取りな がら、流れるように「ノー・プレイス・イン・ヘヴン」「マイ・インタープリテイション」と繋いでいく。「トーク・アバウト・ユー」で客席の多くの人が立ち 上がり、「待ってました」とばかりに踊り出した。座席のある会場なのに、皆が両手を挙げて踊りまくる様子はさながらライブハウスのようだった。

 大盛り上がりの「グレース・ケリー」の途中、ピアノに置いてあった箱からカラフルな紙テープが勢いよく噴射され、大歓声とともについに幕が開い た。ステージ中央には「HEAVEN」の文字が並ぶネオンサイン、バックに複数のビルを描いたパネル、左手にはワゴンを模したセットが見える。バンドは ベース、ドラム、パーカッション、ギター、キーボード、そしてミーカを入れた7人編成だ。

「グッド・ワイフ」「ビッグ・ガール(ユー・アー・ビューティフル)」と盛り上がる曲を立て続けに披露し、一転クールでアダルトな雰囲気の「ブー ン・ブーン・ブーン」、コーラスが美しく響く「グッド・ガイズ」へ。こういった聴かせる曲ではあらためてミーカの歌唱力に感嘆してしまう。綺麗なファル セットから拳の効いた歌い方まで表現の幅が広く、歌手として圧倒的な技量を持っていることがわかる。

 この日のハイライトは中盤の「ステアリング・アット・ザ・サン」だった。ミーカが客席に降りてきて、歌いながら観客とハイタッチして回ったのだ。 もみくちゃになりつつ笑顔で歌うミーカはまさにみんなのアイドル!ステージに戻った彼の手は客席で受け取った花やキャンディーでいっぱいだった。

 

その後も全く疲れた様子を見せず、右へ左へ走り回り、思うままに美声を響かせるミーカ。「ラスト・パーティー」の力強く感情を揺さぶってくる演奏か らはひと時も目が離せなかったし、「ハッピー・エンディング」のラストのアカペラは圧巻の一言だった。観客の方のテンションも上がる一方で、「ロリポッ プ」「ウィー・アー・ゴールデン」などのパーティー・ナンバーはNHKホールを完全にダンスホールに変えた。特にアンコールのダンサブルにアレンジされた 「ラヴ・トゥデイ」には観客総ノリ。「ラブ、ラブ、ミー!」の大合唱がくりかえされ、この日一番の盛り上がりを見せた。最後、ミーカの「ワン、ツー、ス リー!」のカウントで両サイドからカラフルな紙テープが盛大に噴射され、ショーのラストを鮮やかに彩った。

 終わってみれば全21曲のうち最新作「ノー・プレイス・イン・ヘヴン」から9曲、ファーストアルバム「ライフ・イン・カートゥーン・モーション」 からも7曲が演奏されており、ファン歓喜の鉄板セットリストだった。そしてミーカの「お客さんを楽しませたい」というエンターテイナーぶりも相変わらず超 一流だった。「ビッグ・ガール」では客席の女の子をステージに上げて一緒に踊り、「アンダーウォーター」では観客に携帯電話のライトを点灯させNHKホー ルを満天の星空にしてみせた。マジシャンよろしくジャケットの胸元からゴールドの紙テープを溢れさせ、「何着あるんだ」とつっこみたくなるほどの衣装も披 露してくれた。

 そしてファンにとって何より嬉しかったのは、彼が日本語でたくさんコミュニケーションをとろうとしてくれたことだろう。「今日はみんな上品でいて ね」「愛してるって言って!」「(名前を呼ぶファン達に)今忙しいからちょっと静かにして!(笑)」などお茶目なおしゃべりで大いに笑わせてくれた。そん なミーカに、この日は客席からもサプライズが。有志のファンが事前に配った「ARIGATO」と書かれた紙を、カーテンコールの際に会場中みんなで掲げた のだ。このサプライズに気づいた時のミーカは本当に嬉しそうだった。

 前回の来日公演から1年と空けずに帰ってきてくれたミーカ。今度はいつ来てくれるかな、07年以来久々のフジロック登場なんて素敵だな、そんなことをあれこれ妄想しながら幸福感いっぱいで家路へ。ミーカがくれた楽しい時間はいつまでも続いたのだった。

WIN! Interview: Mika, Acclaimed Singer-Songwriter

 

By Virginia Werner, February 18, 2016

 

 

Since his first hit single ‘Relax, Take It Easy’ took the charts by storm a decade ago, British pop star Mika has sold millions of records while scoring a prestigious Grammy nomination. Despite a busy schedule that includes being a recurring judge on The Voice France, he returns to China performing at A8 Music Mansion in Shenzhen (Feb 23) and at Q.S.W. Culture Center in Shanghai (Feb 25-26).

Although he claims to be a terrible dancer, Mika’s live shows are known to be energetic, lively and even ‘spiritual’ affairs. The stage remains a place where he says he is able to break down the “fourth wall” between himself on stage and his audience members.

 

"When it works, you could be 1,000 people away from the performer, but still feel like it’s just you,” he says. “It softens you, and you forget everything around you.” 

Mika’s infectious confidence on stage might seem innate, but in the past he has described himself as an “insular” child. It’s a term that seems a far cry from the animated character we see on stage today. 

But he says this characteristic can be an asset in the development of an individual. “Being insular is often connected to being a watcher – being receptive and meditative,” he explains. “Those are all good things, as long as it doesn’t evolve into fear or fear of what people think of you."

 

"I was a dreamer, full of ridiculous delusions of grandeur and a desire to escape the real world around me. I found music helped me turn those dreams into something concrete that would in turn, become real life.”

Now, the lofty dreams of a young man who dared to be different have indeed become a reality. Mika released his latest album, No Place in Heaven, last summer and it has been hailed as his best yet. There’s a more serious vibe to it, beautifully illustrating themes of being different from others – an outcast from society, religion, gay culture and heartbreak. 

“I think we are all absolutely terrified of the idea of being ‘normal,’ he says. “Think about it, the first thing that someone tells you when they are hitting on you, or in love with you is, ‘You are different, special and unique.’ When things go wrong, we suddenly fall back down to earth and feel normal, and that is what gets us the most upset in a love story gone wrong.”

 

This won’t be Mika’s first time in China. The star performed at the West Lake Music Festival (WLMF) in Hangzhou last May, and has taken note of some interesting changes compared to his visits in the early 2000s. 

“Apart from the obvious things such as the buildings and infrastructure changes, it’s the speed at which youth culture is developing that I find incredible,” he says. “[At WLMF] the crowd seemed to have some people who knew every lyric of every song and others that knew little. But after an hour you couldn’t tell the difference. I loved seeing that side of China, and it’s my main motivation for coming back so soon.”

“ミラクル・ポップ・プリンス”ことMIKAにインタビュー! 世界一お気に入りの場所は、アートが生まれて冷蔵庫もある“あの場所”だと告白

2016年2月22日

 

レバノン出身でロンドン在住のシンガーソングライター、MIKA(読み:ミーカ)が、およそ1年ぶりに来日。大阪公演と東京公演の合間に、インタビューに応じてくれた。

 

2007年のメジャーデビュー以来、しばしば日本を訪れてくれているMIKA。今回は、昨年5月ぶりとなる国内2か所で行われる公演のために日本へやって きてくれた。“ミラクル・ポップ・プリンス”とも評されるMIKAの音楽は、広い音域を存分に生かした、“彼らしさ”全開の作品ばかり。昨年6月にリリー スした自身4作目にあたる作品「ノー・プレイス・イン・ヘヴン」、そしてオーケストラとの共演作「MIKAとモントリオール交響楽団」を引っさげた公演の 合間のインタビューでは、アルバムの誕生秘話や、デビューにいたるまでの経緯を語ってくれた。

 

 

――約1年ぶりの来日ですが、今回はいかがですか?

 

「今回の日本は……前回よりずっと寒いね(笑) 9か月ぶりにやってきて、これまでより規模の大きいショーをするよ。9か月ぶりに日本へ戻ってこられるな んて、光栄だって伝えておかなくちゃ。しかもこれまでより大きなショーができるなんて、めちゃくちゃ幸運だって感じているよ。日本は本当に特別な場所なん だ。いつも日本でのツアー、アルバムリリース、みんながぼくの音楽を聞いてくれることを、特別に感じている。ミュージシャンとして、ちょっとした夢みたい に思うよ」

 

 

――今回はツアーのための来日であり、すでに大阪での公演が終了していますが、ステージはいかがでしたか?

 

「大阪でのショーは、かなり面白かったよ。だって(会場となった)グランキューブ大阪の座席は、すごく快適なものなんだ。みんなゆったり座っていたよ。だ からぼくは、“カモーン!”って気分になっちゃって、何人かの観客をステージに上げて、一緒に踊った。(ステージに上がった)彼女が踊りはじめると、みん な踊ってくれたよ。めちゃくちゃ楽しかったよ!」

 

「(東京公演は?と聞かれ)その必要があったら、まだ誰かを上げてみんなを躍らせる! それに大阪では、客席に突入したんだ。客席で歌を歌ったよ。そんな予定はなかったんだけどね」

 

――いまお話に上がりましたが、日本のファンはいかがですか?

 

「そうだね。中には日本のファンはエキサイティングっていう意見もあるけど、それはウソだよ。日本のファンは、すごく真剣なんだ。日本のみんなは、ディ ティールを観察することに、楽しみを見出している。アートワークや衣装、セット、編曲、すべてのディティールに聞き入って、見入っている。それも一生懸命 にね。別に何か得しようとしているわけじゃなくて、ただそうしているんだ。すごく素敵な気分になれるよ」

 

「(この日の衣装に触れられ)この靴は、Valentinoのカスタムなんだ。ぼくの衣装はすべて、Valentinoが作ってくれているんだ。テレビ 用、ステージ用、全部ね。ぼくがアルバムのアートワークに“目”を描いたら、彼らは“目”の柄が入ったスーツを作ってくれた。この靴もそうだ。だからすご く特別なんだよ」

――最新アルバム「MIKAとモントリオール交響楽団」はどんな作品ですか?

 

「この作品は、ケント・ナガノ※……マエストロ・ナガノと、オーケストラと一緒に作ったんだ。120人のミュージシャンが参加しているんだ。楽曲は、これ までにリリースした4作のアルバムから選んだ。1940年代のMGM映画や、1920年代のディズニー映画に飛び込んだみたいなんだ。『ファンタジア』 (1940)や『雨に唄えば』(1952)を聞いていて、ぼくの歌もこんな感じにしようよ!って思ったんだ。やらない理由はないってくらいの気分だった よ」

 

※ケント・ナガノ …… 2006年よりモントリオール交響楽団の音楽監督を務めている、アメリカ人指揮者。日系アメリカ人4世でもある

 

 

――オーケストラとのコラボレーションにおける、コンセプトは?

 

「ぼくのコンセプトは、オーケストラの音だけってことだ。エレキギターもドラムもなし、オーケストラの楽器だけ。その場に立って、120人を従えた最初のリハーサルじゃ、震えたよ。みんなぼくを見ているんだ。セーフティーネットはない、危険ばかりだ」

「(お気に入りの1曲は?と聞かれ)この作品の中だと、『オーヴァー・マイ・ショルダー』が本当にアメージングでスペシャル。それから『ブーン・ブーン・ブーン』も。『グレース・ケリー』は、映画っぽく仕上がっているよ」

 

 

――グラフィックデザイナーとしての顔を持つだけに、毎回、アルバムのアートワークが目を引きますが……

 

「(さえぎって)ハイ! ぼくと姉で作ったんだ。うちのキッチンでね! キッチンテーブルで描いたんだよ。写真は違うけどね」

「(毎回、そうして作るのか?と聞かれ)毎回そうだよ! 音楽と同じように、描いていていくんだ」

「(内部のデザインについて聞かれ)そう、そっちも紙を切って、配置して、スキャンして作ったんだ」

 

「これは人々の感情をデザインしたもの。真の人間の感情って、変てこなんだ。変な格好で、あれこれ言いながら作った。元になっているのは、ヒッチコックの 古い映画のポスター。エナジーによって、紙の形が決まるんだよ。スタジオと同じように、姉とはときどきエナジーについて話しているんだ。正しいエナジーと つながることが出来れば、うまくいくってね」

 

――デビューにいたるまでの経緯を教えてください

 

「ぼくは学校から追い出されちゃったんだ。やることがなくなっちゃって、クラシックを歌ったり、テレビで流れるガムのCM音楽を作ったりする仕事をしてい た。18歳のとき、スタジオに行ったんだ。ファーストアルバムの制作は、簡単ではなかったよ。最初にとりかかったときは、11歳。ぼくはもう32歳だ。 長~いおかしな道を通ってきたよ」

「レコード契約もおかしかったんだ。あるとき電話がかかってきて、ある重要人物がきみの歌を聞きたいって言っているって言われた。でもピアノがないなら気 乗りしないし、“うちに来い”って言われても“お断り”。そうしたら“わかった、ママの家に近いホテルのロビーで3曲歌ってくれ”ってことになって、ホテ ルのロビーでみんなの前で3曲を歌ったら、30分後に契約できたんだ。周りは怪訝な顔をしていたよ、“あいつ、何やってるんだ?”って(笑)」

 

 

――音楽はMIKAさんにとって、どんな存在ですか?

 

「ぼくにとっての音楽は、香水みたいなもの。本当は意味なんて特にない、でも音楽がない世界なんて想像できない。香りにも意味なんて特にない。ただ香りと 関連する“記憶”は、何かの意味を持つんだ。音楽はどこにだって存在する。R&Bも、クラシックも、電車が通り過ぎる音でさえも、“ミュージッ ク”だ。鳥の鳴き声だって、音とリズムが何かに結び付けば、音楽になる。ぼくにとって、音楽は特に意味のないもの。でも全てなんだ」

 

――現在、MIKAさんは、イタリアで人気TV番組「X Factor」の審査員、フランスでは大型TV番組「The Voice」のコーチなど、ヨーロッパをまたにかけて活躍されていますが、一番好きな場所は?

 

「うちのキッチンだね(笑) キッチンには冷蔵庫があって、冷蔵庫があればなんでも料理ができる。それに犬もいる! ローマやパリ、どこにいたって恋しく思う場所は、キッチンなんだ」

 

 

――2016年はどんな1年にしたいですか?

 

「今年は困難な1年になると思う。今年は何かを“消費する”年じゃなくて、“創造する”1年だと思っているんだ。クリエイティビティというのは、未来への期待から生まれるもの。今年は似た顔が並ぶから、貯めこんで来年に吐き出したい」

 

 

--How was Osaka show going?
I had fun at Osaka show. As the seats of the venue were very comfortable, the audience could be relaxed. 
So I got a feeling like 'Come on!' and brought a fan from the audience to the stage and danced with her.
When she began to dance, everyone went dancing, It was a great fun!
I will pick someone in Tokyo show too. And I sang in audience, had no plan to do that though.
 
--What do you think about Japanese fans?
Well, someone says Japanese fans are exciting, it's not just that. They are also very earnest. They enjoy viewing details.
The artworks, costumes, stage setting, song arrangement, they listen carefully and pay attention to everything 
as best they can. It's not that they intend to gain something, they just do that. That makes me so happy.
 
--Can you tell us about your new album 'MIKA ET L'ORCHESTRE SYMPHONIQUE DE MONTREAL'?
I made this album with Kent Nagano...Maestro Nagano and his orchestra. 120 musicians joined. I chose songs 
from my albums. They sound like you jumped into MGM films in 1940s or Disney's film in 1920s. I came up with
an idea while I was listening to 'Fantasia' and 'Singing in the rain'. I thought I wanted to do similar things with my songs. I was like 'Why not?'.
 
--What is the concept for collaborating with orchestra?
My concept is that there is only sounds of orchestra. No electric guitar, no drums, but only instruments by orchestra. I trembled when I was standing in front of an orchestra of 120 people. Everybody was staring at me. There was no safety net, only danger. My favorite is Over My Shoulder. It's very amazing and special. And I like Boum Boum Boum too. Grace Kelly turned out to be like a movie.
 
--Your albums' artworks are attracting our attention too, as you have another talent as a graphic designer.
Yes! I made them with my sisiter in my kitchen. We drew them on the kitchen table, photos were shot in other place though.We do that everytime. We draw artwork in such a way as to make songs.We cut papers, arranged them and scanned them.
 
This is a representation of the people's emotion. True emotion of people is bizzare.So we made them discussing
a lot of thing in weird clothes.
They are on basis of old posters of Hitchcock movies. Energy made the shape of slips of papar. Sometimes I
talk about energy with my sister. If you can connect the right energy, everything will go well.
 
--Can you tell us how you came to debut?
I got kicked out from school. I had nothing to do then, I spent time listening to classical music and doing some work making jingles for TV commercials for chewing gum. When I was 18, I went to the studio. It was not easy to produce my first album. I was 11 when I got started with it, and am 32 years old now. I have walked a long and unique path. 
It was strange when I signed with the record company. One day, someone called me and said an important person was keen to listen to my songs. But I said 'I don't want to sing without piano. I won't come to you if you asked me.' Then they replied 'Ok, in that case, can you  come to the hotel near your mom's house and sing a couple of songs there?' I sang 3 songs in front of the hotel guests in the hotel lobby and could made a deal with them in 30 minutes. Everyone there was looking strangely at me. like 'What is he doing?'
 
--What is music to you?
Music, to me, is like perfume. It's not something special to me, but I can't imagine my life with no music. Perfume doesn't have a meaning itself, but it has a meaning when the memories connect with perfume. You can hear music everywhere, R&B, classics. even the noise of trains passing by, they are 'music'. Even bird calls can be music when they get into the rhythm. To me, music is not special but everything.
 
--Recently, you are active as a judge for 'X Factor' in Italy, and as a coach for 'The Voice' in France. Where is your favourite place?
My kitchen. I have a fridge there, I can cook everything that I want. And my dogs are there! In Rome, Paris or wherever I am, I miss my kitchen.
 
--What's your plan for this year.
I think it will be a tough year. I want to create something but not to consume. Creativities come from expectations for the future. I will create a lot of things and stock them up this year. They will be unveiled in the next year.

MIKA:“我的确是内向的人,但音乐让我无所不能。” MIKA: "I'm really shy person, but the music makes me do anything."

2016-02-18 Jive、Yalla 返场Eardrum

 

http://mp.weixin.qq.com/s?__biz=MjM5MTA0NDI4NQ==&mid=402736067&idx=1&sn=e9e119ae78fb5042b8495d4221dc96af&scene=1&srcid=0218DJEzNHCwlHIa3YLSK114&from=groupmessage&isappinstalled=0#wechat_redirect

 

上一次中国巡演的缺席是怎么回事?现在的他不如以前没心没肺大大咧咧了吗?他用什么洗发水?

 

 

MIKA,人见人爱、兢兢业业、舞台感染力给101分(多一分让他骄傲)的MIKA,终于要再次回到中国,把去年遗憾未完成的亚洲巡演最后几站给大家好好补回来了。这一次我们有机会给他逮住了采访:上一次的缺席是怎么回事?现在的他不如以前没心没肺大大咧咧了吗?他用什么洗发水?……你能从字里行间感受到流行歌手骨子里的色彩斑斓,也能感受到出道十余年特有的专注和轻松。好了,安利那么多,也因为我们都看过他的现场,所以这一次你们是要去看?还是去看?还是去看呢?

 

(EM=EardrumMusic;M=MIKA)

 

EM:MIKA你好哇,听说你又要来演出实在是太太太高兴了!去年的中国巡演不太顺利,对你来说能演的那几场还满意吗?

M:对歌手来说最大的致命伤就是——咳——嗽——!没错,普普通通的咳嗽完全会把一个人的声音抹掉!一般来说,感冒还能唱,食物中毒也能唱,但咳嗽最糟糕,一上来就唱不了了。这就是我上次亚洲巡演后面1/3程发生的事情,我好失望整个行程要缩短,我知道对乐迷和我的团队来说也如是。这个巡演我们期待太久了。

而上次来中国能完成的几场演出还有碰面的乐迷,都超级棒!我11岁开始就经常来中国旅游,跟这里还算熟悉的,但在这里唱歌演出却是不一样的。我为这里观众的多样性而感到骄傲,我喜欢这么形色各异的乐迷。杭州西湖音乐节可以说是整场亚洲巡演的焦点,我觉得很多人其实不知道我,又很好奇想看看我,这样的挑战也是音乐节特有的优势。

 

EM:从《Life In Cartoon Motion》到现在的《No Place In Heaven》,你的专辑封套从色彩斑斓变成了现在以黑白调为主,有些乐迷会解读为MIKA变得“伤感”或者“内向”了,你觉得这样理解对么?

M:哈哈我要笑出声音来了,我其实一直有用黑白照片,做唱片封套的话,我觉得黑白照远胜于彩照。就算是在《Life In Cartoon Motion》里头所有图画都是色彩丰富的,里面也嵌着小幅的黑白照片,它们分别代表我的真实个性以及我通过音乐塑造的形象,两者之间的对比正是我想表达的。现实生活中我的确是内向的人,但音乐让我无所不能。我成了颜色、线条、形状,不断融合延伸,不断演变,就像卡通里的线条和形状一样——这就是画图的力量。只要来看了我的现场演出,你就知道我不可能变得伤感啦,至少不是永久性的。

 

EM:你的专辑封套一直都像“填色板”,你个人有特别钟情的颜色或者图案吗?

M:所谓“填色”,算是一种类似漫画的技法,是非常适合用于做专辑封套的。这就是波普,它很直白,可以把画面背后的故事和想法推出来,而不只是纠结于质感和技巧的细节。这些细节其实留给音乐本身更加好,而不是停留在封套上。这也解释了为什么那么多老摇滚和流行专辑的封套,以及60年代的海报,到了今天依然受欢迎,因为它们有几何图形特有的张力,会撩起观众的好奇心。

话说回来,不谈音乐,我其实有点受不了“填色板”特有的扁平感,所以我对波普艺术也不太感冒。我确实喜欢插画,喜欢概念艺术,也可以看到如今建筑和设计领域各自夺人眼球的成就,但一幅漂亮的油画永远不会过时……哦我爱死那种老学院派的技巧被重新活用了。

 

EM:过去两年你一直忙着音乐之外的事情,如何做到一心多用?

M:以前我一直都很怕忙,怕自己累了就没有时间做音乐了,事实刚好相反。工作越多我越积极,尤其是在各种项目同时进行而且很顺利的时候,会给我很强烈的创作欲望然后就变成了音乐灵感。

 

EM:你在《The X Factor》和《The Voice》上做过一段时间的评委,你作为歌手坐在台下,怎么去评判站在台上梦想成为歌手的参赛者?作为评委,如何平衡“毒舌”和“不说假话”?

M:其实毒舌跟虚伪一样糟糕,面对别人真心诚意鼓起勇气的演唱,这俩都是偷懒的表现。做评委最重要是尊重参赛者、保持真诚,即使台上的人可能是地球上唱歌最烂、穿得跟怪兽似的,我们还是要接受、与其同乐。无论他们自己知道真相与否,都只是想好好表达一些想法、供你娱乐几分钟,如果大家都不愿这么做这个世界都要凄凄惨惨戚戚了。好好开心一下是完全可以的……即使我不让他们进入下一轮!

 

EM:听说你要参演《Zoonlander 2》(超级名模2)了!如果你能跟Ben Stiller和Owen Wilson两个笑星一起给Valentino走秀,你会穿什么?

M:我所有衣服都是Valentino的高定工作室做的,无论现实生活中还是舞台上,我觉得我早就活在那部电影里了。他们给我做的一些衣服真的惊呆了,那些慢工细活、里头的故事,真的弹眼落睛。一套西装可能要八个人同时工作两个月才能完成。我想如果真的是要跟那俩一起走秀的话,我会选择完全相反的造型:白色内裤,白色T恤,不穿鞋。(括弧笑

 

EM:不知道你介不介意聊这个,还记得Patrick Wolf很久很久以前Diss过你吗?说来出道那么久,你有什么后悔的决定吗?

M:哈哈哈那事情其实挺蠢的,我从来没有回应过,他说的侮辱话笨死了也毫无根据,之后也道歉过两次了。我猜他当时应该就是一时冲动口不择言吧。

要说后悔的事情,我还真做过不少,例如允许自己因为身边工作的人而压力山大。压力是种幻觉,它只是别人想在我身上赚钱的工具而已,我现在已经对这个很敏感了,见了就跑。现在我已经不再后悔什么了,总体而言我的音乐事业很特别也很奇怪,对此我感动很高兴也很自在。人生啊,就像电影《滑动门》,Gwyneth Paltrow那部嘞……(编注:又名“双面情人”,讲述Paltrow主演的女主角因为赶上与未赶上地铁班车而过上两段截然不同的生活)总之就是,如果回到过去改变了什么后悔的事情,天晓得最后结果又会碰上什么屎呢对不对?

 

EM:你最近喜欢的歌手有哪些?好多人都希望你跟Sam Smith合作来着……

M:我爱、爱、爱、爱死Rae Morris的声音、Marina and the Diamond的创作、Courtney Bartnett充满青春味的诗句,还有Labrinth应该也是个相当棒的流行创作人。实话说我已经有点烦现在的浪漫大情歌了。我想念Amy Winehouse,她唱的浪漫的歌,只让你感受到爱,不会乱卖弄情怀。

 

EM:你给Cesvi慈善拍卖会做了张超级棒的圣诞贺卡,那么你自己收过最棒的圣诞礼物是什么?(编注:采访问题发出在圣诞前,回复在圣诞后)

M:有两样。有一次,我收到一个大盒子,上面写着“圣诞卡”,我打开来一看发现是用姜饼和糖果做的一整条村庄!那个铺满糖霜的“湖”上面还有杏仁蛋白软糖做的小人在溜冰!我到现在都还记得那闻起来有多香!

另一个,就是约50个歌迷做了个圣诞卡,为了支持我帮助叙利亚难民的圣诞任务向联合国难民事务高级专员公署捐了一大笔钱!看见大家团结起来慷慨解囊真的太感动了,现在想起来,这比会溜冰的杏仁蛋白软糖小人都要让我高兴。

 

EM:挖坟的时间又到了,七年前你在北京演出的时候,曾经跟乐迷做了一次在线互动,我们有个朋友问你爱用哪款洗发水,但这个问题当时没被选中!所以现在你还能告诉我们吗……

M:哈哈哈哈哈太搞笑了,成成成(大写的)我现在就告诉你!我用能买到的、最便宜的洗发水,没有噱头、简简单单的洗发水。我从来不用护发素,那里头的成分大多对头发不好,所以一般洗完头发之后我就抹点什么让它健康点就得了。做电视演出,妆发总是会用很多含酒精的产品和喷雾,弄得我头皮都疼,现在我都尽量避免这些了。所以!不好意思!头发就没那么帅咯!

Interview in China China.gif

 

Mika:音乐是认识我的媒介

Mika : Music is my understanding media

 

专访・eyelight・2016-02-18

 

 

独特、个人化和亲密这三样东西都是互相关联的,能让你成为你自己。无论你去了这个世界的何处,你坐在钢琴边,唱着你真实的故事,状态又不错。如果这些言语是个人的,这就有价值了。不需要声音很大,不需要节拍响亮。只要有一颗心,和你一个人的言语。

——Mika

 

 

Mika是一个具有强烈个人色彩的创作歌手,有着良好的古典音乐底子,在流行与古典之间自由穿行。虽然自出道至今,他便成为了一个话题人物,不同于常人的童年经历,不断变化的成长环境,同性恋者光环。但幸运的是这些因素的组合,造就了一个音乐怪才。

 

2015年发行的新专辑《No Place in Heaven》表现出他对于音乐的研究以及创作的多变,试图让人勾起对于不同年代音乐的回忆:不管是60年代的民谣、70年代的Disco、80年代的乡 村音乐、90年代的抒情摇滚。通通被他的《No Place in Heaven》囊括其中,再配上 Mika 融合英文、法文、及意大利文的腔调,让专辑更具有恢宏的整体感,算得上是 Mika 近年在创作上的重大突破。

 

上次因特殊原因,Mika被迫中断了中国巡演。今次,Split Works 再次带 Mika 踏上这片让他欣喜土地,举办未竟的巡演。落网有幸采访到了 Mika,因此次采访 Mika 是视频回访,所以在翻译过程中我们更多的保留了他的原话,以及习惯用语。

 

落:你曾说前两张专辑充满了童趣,而第三张《The Origin of Love》较为严肃,你讲那才是你真正意义上的首张专辑。那你对这张新专辑又怎么看呢?

Mika:没有什么可以比《No Place in Heaven》这张专辑更加敞开、直白的了,从最严肃的主题,感受死亡、伤心欲绝到最明快的主题,只想跳个舞啦怦然心动啦,这些感情凝成了最轻快的触感。 很放松,不会在我肩上感到有压力,我敞开了心扉。而且,专辑的制作也以最简单的方式进行,纯真、自然。我强烈建议你们从头到尾听一遍这张专辑,因为这就像 聆听一个人的日记,它就像是和我沟通的媒介。

 

落:《Good Guys》这首歌在这张专辑里非常的突出,都是在重复问问题,比如“Where have all the gay guys gone?”而且你也在歌词里提到你的偶像。你能多讲讲这首歌吗?

Mika:“Good Guys”?我告诉你,这首歌是怎么创作的吧!当时我在洛杉矶租了一间房子创作新专辑,就在好莱坞。我整天都在那写,像呆在泡沫里似的。除了有三次外出, 两个月里我几乎没离开屋子半步。有一天我正在和朋友一块儿写歌,一个叫Skyler Stonestreet的女孩,正好也和我的这个朋友一起写歌。那时我们就把一些曾经给过我灵感的艺术家们列了出来。让·谷克多(Jean Cocteau)、大卫·鲍伊(David Bowie),还有奥斯卡·王尔德(Oscar Wilde)……。他们都是一群已经过世的伟大艺术家,他们没有想过以后自己的作品有什么样的命运,是否仍然受人待见,是否仍能影响众人。我想,我有没有 那种能量,使自己在某天也能成为像他们那样的人?如今他们去往何处呢?他们又是谁?这些问题是那么的系统化。他们就像美丽而智慧的叛逆者,却又那样少见。 他们从何处出现,现在又在何处?而在我身上哪里还有他们的影子呢?就是这样啦,我看着这一群名字,然后,“Oh my god(灵光一闪状,然后拍手),这些好家伙们现在都在哪儿了呀?好主意,写吧!”反正,就是这样啦。

 

落:说到偶像,哪些艺术家对你的作品影响最多呢?能说说弗雷迪·默丘里(Freddie Murcury)对歌曲“Last Party”的启发吗?

Mika:影响我的音乐家有哈利·尼尔森(Harry Nelson),弗雷迪·默丘里,以及给予我自由、认可和鼓励去不断尝试与实验的大卫·鲍伊,还有一些古典音乐家也曾给我启发。关于弗雷迪·默丘里的 “Last Party”是我写的一个故事。那时他发现自己染上了艾滋,反应有些异常,把自己锁在一个夜店里,然后进行为期好几天的派对。那些例如“知道了世上最为难 过消息”,或者“在派对上的行为,像打碎东西啦,狂舞啦”等等想法,我觉得它们很有趣,也很感人。这展示了一个迥然不同的应对这悲伤的方式。

 

我想在我和“皇后先生”之间共同的地方,就是我们都在钢琴上作曲。我有古典音乐的背景,我在音乐学校学习古典音乐,并在11岁时开始唱歌剧。其实古 典音乐有帮助到我现在做的像流行、摇滚和舞曲这些风格的音乐,它们之间是平行的。我们的相似之处还有就是音乐的旋律感很强,并且都使用钢琴创作主打的流行 音乐。

 

落:这张专辑里有首关于女人的歌叫做《All She Wants》。她只有一个愿望:想要一个更加正常一点儿的儿子。这首歌从某种层次上来讲,是在谈论你自己的母亲吗?

Mika:天呐,哈哈,是的,有一点点。我妈妈很爱我,如果有个更加“正常”点的儿子,她应该会更高兴吧。假如 现在有了几个小孩,生活过得很惬意。圣诞假期去拜访他们一下,还能一直有丰盛的周日午餐等等。可是我一直像在马戏团里,总是计划赶不上变化。但我很兴奋! 反正我不会改变我的生活的。只有大概百分之五的可能,她真想要个更加传统、守规矩的正常孩子。哈哈,但我想世上的妈妈都是这样的,可能不是?我不知道哈 哈。

 

落:我昨天在Facebook上看到你po的一张图,你举着一张海报,上面写着“Bowie,thank you for my dream.”大卫·鲍伊是如何影响了你的生活和你的作品的呢?

Mika:鲍伊的作品我花了很长的时间去理解,到现在我仍然有一些不大明白。但这恰恰是我非常喜欢它们的原因, 喜欢并不一定要完完全全领会。他不属于任何人,他周围只有一个很小的圈子。我喜欢他总是不去迎合别人期待的想法,喜欢他尝试冒风险的想法。至于这玩意儿热 门还是不热门,才不重要呢。这只属于鲍伊自个儿。他从不妥协,只做他想做的。他有着根本而内在的优雅,站在“无聊”的对立面。很多人都觉得,如果要优雅, 得潇洒,得奢侈。他不奢侈,却很潇洒。他自成一格,从不无聊,也从不掉价儿。今天人们在网上,为了让自己不无聊,都变得有些不像话了,发些荒谬的图片啊, 我是不懂,总之是在炫耀,但这是真无聊!今日世界大多数名流(此处用手指做了一个夸张的动作,似乎表达不屑)被社交媒体带着跑,真无聊!这不是真的自成一 格。只是装个姿势,拍张照片,摆个态度而已。而鲍伊才是优雅,时髦,不乏味。他是动真格的,而且目光长远,毫不肤浅。所以我才因他而深受启发,不仅是我, 整个世界都是如此。

 

落:听说你很喜欢旅行,你之前特别是过去几年的旅行,有影响到你的音乐、你的新专辑吗?

Mika:是啊,有的。我去了好多不同的地方,看了好多不同的人。我意识到旅游很有价值,很独特,很个人化也很 亲密。独特、个人化和亲密这三样东西都是互相关联的,能让你成为你自己。无论你去了这个世界的何处,你坐在钢琴边,唱着你真实的故事,状态又不错。如果这 些言语是个人的,这就有价值了。不需要声音很大,不需要节拍响亮。只要有一颗心,和你一个人的言语。

 

落:介不介意说说你的新书《Diary of an accidental optimistic》?写书和写歌词有什么不一样的地方,能谈谈这本书的创作过程是怎样的?

Mika:啊哈(欢呼状),你们竟然做了研究啊!(此书还未发表,Mika对采访者做的功课表示赞赏)。可能你 会很吃惊,其实创作过程是一样的。都是讲述故事,都是孤独的——褒义哈。我只是写的时候要独自一人,要专注,不想其它。同时,我也写很多关于我周围的人的 故事,和我写的歌一样。这是日记,你读着这疯狂的日记,有些真的很奇幻。但是,通读了这些段落篇章后,我是谁?你心里就会有底了。这就是为什么我喜欢写日 记,这也是它与我自己的关联。正如我刚才所讲的,新专辑也是一本日记。新书已经快搞定了,真的快搞定了!但是写这本书做的工作比我想象中多多了。我都是独 自完成,因为我想要做得好。当你第一次做某件事时,它就得好!

 

落:每当我看你的现场表演,听你的音乐,总会产生一种特别的感觉,童趣的元素、欢快的节奏,仿佛童话里的小飞侠彼得潘。有哪些童年经历影响到了你的音乐作品?

Mika:噢不,彼得·潘太危险了,永远不想长大。而我很高兴我长大了,真的很高兴我长大了!我可不想再后退什 么了(大拇指指着后面)。每一个童年难忘的经历都有影响到我的音乐。童年经历决定了我们是谁,是好还是坏,会更好还是更坏。具有童趣的品质不是幼稚,而是 宣泄,某种宣泄吧。哈哈哈,和非洲部落舞蹈相似(大笑),这很搞笑。我知道这不一样,但跳部落舞时的那种释放,自由,和你在卧室里一个人乱蹦乱跳时其实差 不多,也和在舞台与人共舞时差不多。这是自由,这是释放。有时候能打破无用的围墙与障碍,这感觉很好。

 

落:听说你在罗马友情客串了电影《超级名模2》(Zoolander 2)?你能说说你在剧中的角色吗?

Mika:嗯,是啊。我是Ben Stiller(Zoolander的导演、主演,美国天王级喜剧明星)的粉丝,我喜欢他的好多片子。但现在我还没看到这部电影的剪辑版本,也不知道我会不会出现在电影里。

 

落:你去过世界上那么多国家、城市表演,最特别、难忘的一场演出在哪儿?去年的中国巡演哪些地方给你留下了深刻的印象?

Mika:真的很难选哎。去年在蒙特利尔和意大利交响乐团的演出的确不可思议。120位音乐家在你后面演奏,仿 佛大浪带着你在音符的海洋里航行,相当震撼,感动。中国巡演,我想想…啊,在杭州,同样好不可思议啊。那是一个音乐节,可能有些人知道我吧,但从来也没买 过我的唱片,也没在网上听过我的一些作品,所以他们对我很好奇。现场有几千乐迷,实在是又年轻又酷,都嗨翻了!我们都玩得很开心。能见到年轻人的文化在中 国发展真是太好了!还有我必须讲下,音乐节在一个难以置信的好地方举办(当然指的西湖哈哈):那是傍晚,在公园里最美丽的一处景儿,还靠着湖。真是难忘的 回忆啊!同时,年轻人的文化真的很酷,能和他们交流感觉很有意思,很幸运。因为我在很小的时候就来过中国,所以我看到了惊人的进步以及迅速的发展,这让我 觉得这很振奋,越来越喜欢这里。

Time Out 上海 Shanghai

 

中国,等MIKA归来

http://shanghai.timeoutcn.com/Articles_16213.htm

 

发布时间:2016年02月22日 14时41分
 
 

2015年,MIKA在中国的巡演可谓好事多磨,北京站因故拆成两场,还惹上“玉米”的围攻,杭州西湖音乐节后宣布因病取消深圳站和香港站…… 欠下中国歌迷的,MIKA不等一年就来“还债”了,因为中国对他意义重大。

 

和中国有着不解之缘的MIKA,之前造访过中国不下10 次。2008 年,MIKA 曾经来到中国参加《音乐风云榜》年度盛典的颁奖典礼,为陈奕迅颁发了“年度风云大奖”。据说他在很小的时候就来到了中国旅游,并产生了对中国的各种情怀。 闲暇时,他还会哼唱TF BOYS 的《青春修炼手册》,在MIKA 看来,“他们的歌曲听起来很纯真,很热情开放,非常简单直接,没有任何刻意和做作的成分。”十分欣赏TF BOYS 的MIKA 还一度表示如果TF BOYS 找他写歌,他很愿意为他们创作。讲起与中国的缘分,其实MIKA 的妹妹就在北京读书,而他自己学习普通话的时间也已经有八、九年之久,尽管直到现在还依旧讲得很糟糕,但MIKA 很高兴自己的很多歌都已经在中国流传开来。他觉得一首歌如果没有经过宣传就能到达一个国家,那它一定是与当地的文化土壤产生了某种奇妙的化学反应,因为这 意味着这个地方对于自己音乐的认可。

爱情,“与众不同”很危险但也很宝贵

公开出柜的时尚音乐玩家MIKA,有着191 公分的模特儿修长身材,不仅坐拥一大票女粉丝,同时也是欧美同志公认的梦中情人。从刚出道时MIKA 在性向问题上以一种不撒谎、也不告知的方式欲言又止,直到如今打开胸怀,拥抱现实的坦荡无憾,可以说MIKA献上了他事业生涯最漂亮的彩虹宣言。

MIKA 深知“与众不同”有时会是一个很危险的东西,但它又是非常宝贵的。有些人一旦发现了这种“不同”,就会试着去破坏它,甚至这些人对不同的反应有时候会相当 暴力。“但你随后便会意识到‘与众不同’是一个你能拥有的最为宝贵的东西”。所以MIKA 格外小心翼翼地像保护金子一样保护它,因为它远比黄金钻石有价值。“七岁起我就是个怪胎,每一段遮遮掩掩的爱,每一滴顺脸颊而下的泪水;像我这种人,在天 堂没有立足之地。”——出自最近专辑《No Place In Heaven》同名主打的歌词中沾满了泪痕,可配乐却出奇地轻盈,一如之前素以彩色卡通般的欢快曲风而闻名的MIKA 总是以充满童趣的曲调、轻松活泼的风格出现在大众面前,而这一次他在延续我们所熟悉的欢乐且深具感染力曲风的同时,却突破了自我,流露出更加成熟、内敛的 风格。

有趣的是, 就在录制这张专辑时,MIKA 意外在网络上租到了“精灵王子”奥兰多.布鲁姆(Orlando Bloom)的公寓当作录音室。录制期间,每天都会有观光客慕名前来“朝圣”,这时候MIKA 就会对来客说:“这里是《Pirates of theCaribbean》演员的家!”虽然创作时常因此被中断,但却也是格外新鲜的体验。

 

音乐,一切未知的变化都有可能

都说MIKA 的音乐是快乐舞蹈和悲伤哭泣的融合体,悲伤与欢乐的结合使歌曲充满真实,充满人性。不掺杂悲伤的欢乐是危险的,看不到希望的忧郁也是危险的,而这两者 MIKA向来都融合得很好。“一味去展现那些难过的东西而不去发掘一丝快乐的元素,或者一味表达那些像迪士尼一样动漫般的快乐而没有掺杂着生活中真实存在 的伤感,这些都没有意义。”就像一个人总是多面的矛盾综合体一样,在MIKA 看来,纯粹的明亮和纯粹的黑暗都是无聊的,时而欢乐明朗,时而严肃阴沉,让他有着很明显的原创风格。

《No Place In Heaven》里的另一首单曲《Good Guys》,歌词中不断重复的“Where have all the gay guysgone?”,其实是MIKA 在向自己的同志偶像们致敬,包括安迪.沃霍尔(Andy Warhol)、大卫. 鲍伊(DavidBowie)和詹姆斯.狄恩(James Dean)等等一众前辈,并且希望自己成为新一代大胆的创作歌手。“人不应该老是自我设限,而是应该使自己的人生多一些可能性。”譬如MIKA 现在会担任一些音乐节目的评委。两年前,他又以评委身份参与了意大利版的“X 音素”(The X Factor),如今又受邀担当法国版“好声音”(TheVoice)的评委导师。

可能是得益于小时候有过在皇家歌剧院登台演唱的经历,MIKA 以后指不定还会想试试导演歌剧之类的其他领域。尽管他的个人首专《Lifein Cartoon Motion》从专辑名、造型到封面(由他精通中文的艺术家姐姐Yasmine 设计)都很卡通、很积极,但MIKA 的本质或许并不只是童话王子那么简单。无怪乎,在积累了三张专辑后,MIKA 渐渐开启了人生赢家模式,与意大利精品服饰品牌合作,一身时尚利落的高级订制西装造型非常吸睛;而最近宣告升格为轻熟男的他,又登上了法国知名同志杂志 《TETU》、意大利《LUOMO VOGUE》和《Vanity Fair》这些时尚大刊的封面…… 总之,对于MIKA 来说,一切未知的变化都是有可能的。

 

童年,遭受的欺凌铸就成功

 

MIKA 的歌听起来很欢快,但并不代表他的生活一直如此。事实上,学生时期的MIKA 因为个头瘦小、嗓音尖细而一直备受欺凌,那段难捱的经历一直在他的音乐中有所体现。不过,童年时遭遇过的这些被孤立、被欺凌的不堪过往,并没有在后来的人 生里摧毁MIKA。“这种摧毁是非常有破坏性的,但如果你在这个时候得到了正向的支持,这些事情就会铸就你。它会让你有被认可的感觉,它会促使你成为一个 更加真诚和耿直的人。”这就是隐没在MIKA 欢快旋律背后的故事。

试问,你会忘记年轻的时候是谁让你度过那些艰难的时光?不,你永远不会。你永远不会忘记他们的面孔,不会忘记他们的名字。但事实是,当那些都成为往事,有 一天你会不经意地发现你已经并不在意了。有一件很有趣的事情,当MIKA 还是个小孩子的时候,有段时间觉得很难捱,他就去找了他妈妈的一个朋友,一个年长的中国男人。MIKA 对他说了一些诸如“我讨厌学校”“每个人都对我不好”之类的抱怨话,那个中国男人却开始笑MIKA。MIKA 心想:“你为什么要笑?你怎么了?你这个粗鲁、没同情心的坏蛋!”就在这时,这位中国男人指着他们面前的桌子对MIKA 说道:“你看,桌子是空的,因为所有的碗碟都被收走了,但桌上有一个黑点。你看到桌上那个黑点了吗?那就是你的问题所在。”中国男人继续说:“你要做出选 择,你可以选择靠近这个点,盯着它看,这时它看上去巨大无比。你也可以选择看整块桌布,之后很快就会意识到你关注的只是很小很小的一个点。”MIKA 当时只有13岁,不太能理解中国男人的意思,但后来随着年龄的增长他渐渐明白了:“有些事情当你还年幼的时候会觉得是很大的问题,但当你长大,就会突然发 现没什么大不了的。”MIKA 用自己的童年说明一个事实:生活中有很多东西远比它重要。

China : when Mika returns
 
Published: at 14:41 on February 22 2016

2015, MIKA tour in China can be described as sometime Beijing station for some reason split into two, also got into "corn" siege, Hangzhou West Lake Music Festival announced the cancellation due to illness, Shenzhen and Hong Kong Stations ...... owed Chinese fans , MIKA ranging from a year to "debt", because he was of great significance for China.

And China has a bond of MIKA, previously visited China less than 10 times. In 2008, MIKA who came to China to attend the award ceremony of the "Billboard Music" annual festival, Eason awarded the "Award of the Year." It said that he was very young when he came to China Travel, China and generated a variety of feelings. Spare time, he will sing TF BOYS "youth practicing manual" in MIKA view, "their songs sound very pure, very warm and open, very straightforward, without any deliberate and artificial ingredients." Appreciate TF BOYS's MIKA also once said that if TF BOYS find him writing songs, he was willing for their creation. Let's talk about the fate of China, in fact, MIKA sister school in Beijing, and his own time learning Mandarin has eight or nine years ago, although until now still speak badly, but many of their very happy MIKA songs have been circulating in China open. He felt that if a song has not been able to reach a national publicity, then it must be with the local cultural soil produces some wonderful chemistry, because it means the place for their own music recognition.

Love, "different" is very dangerous but also very valuable

Openly gay fashion music players MIKA, 191 cm model has a slender figure, not only sitting on a big ticket female fans, but also European and American comrades recognized dreams. Hesitantly from the business for MIKA on sexual orientation issues in a not lie, nor informed manner, until now open-minded, magnanimous regrets embrace reality, it can be said MIKA presented his career the most beautiful rainbow Declaration .

MIKA know that "different" can sometimes be a very dangerous thing, but it is very valuable. Once some people find this "different", will try to destroy it, even these people react differently and sometimes quite violent. "But then you will realize that 'difference' is the most valuable thing you can have one." So MIKA as much gold as extra protection it carefully, because it valuable than gold diamonds. "From the age of seven I was a freak, each section secretive love, every drop of tears along the cheek and under;. People like me, have no place in heaven" - from the recent album "No Place In Heaven "lyrics of the same name in the main covered with tears, the music is surprisingly light, as previous prime colored cartoon-like cheerful genre known for MIKA always full of playful tunes, lively style appears in before the public, and this time he continued the familiar genre infectious joy and deep at the same time, they broke through the self, showing a more mature, restrained style.

Interestingly, in recording the album, MIKA accident on the network rented to the "Wizard Prince" Orlando Bloom (Orlando Bloom) as a studio apartment. During recording, every day visitors come to "pilgrimage" will be on at this time MIKA visitor said: "! Actor's home" "This is the" Pirates of theCaribbean although creation is therefore often interrupted, but it is also exceptionally fresh experience.

Music, all changes are likely unknown

MIKA say Happy Dance music is sad and crying fusion, sadness and joy combine to make songs full of real, full of humanity. Undoped sad joy is dangerous, I do not see hope melancholy dangerous, both of MIKA are always well integrated. "Blindly to show those things to discover a trace of sadness without joy elements, or blind as the expression of those who, like the Disney cartoon-like laughter without real life mixed with sadness, they did not make sense." Like a man always contradictory complex multi-faceted, as it seems at MIKA pure bright and pure darkness are boring, and sometimes joy uncertain, sometimes serious and gloomy, so he has a very distinct and original style.

"No Place In Heaven" in another song "Good Guys", repeated lyrics "Where have all the gay guysgone?", In fact MIKA to pay tribute to their idol comrades, including Andy Waugh Hall (Andy Warhol), David Bowie (DavidBowie) and James Dean (James Dean), and so a public predecessors, and want to become a new generation of bold singer-songwriter. "People should not always self-limiting, but should make his life more than some of the possibilities." For example, some of the judges MIKA will now serve as the music program. Two years ago, he once again participate as judges the Italian version of "X phoneme" (The X Factor), and is now invited to play the French version of "good sound" (TheVoice) judges mentor.


Child benefit may be had at the Royal Opera House stage singing experience, MIKA after Zhibuding also want to try other areas like opera director. Despite his personal first special "Lifein Cartoon Motion" from the album name, modeling to cover (by his artist sister, Yasmine proficient in Chinese design) are cartoons, very positive, but the essence MIKA perhaps not just a fairy tale prince so simple. No wonder, after accumulating three albums, MIKA gradually open mode of life winner, in collaboration with the Italian brand boutiques, one neat couture fashion suit style is very compelling; and recently upgraded to proclaim him light cooked Male, boarded a well-known French magazine comrade "TETU", covers a large TV, these stylish Italian "LUOMO vOGUE" and "Vanity Fair" ...... in short, for MIKA, everything unknown variations are possible.

Childhood, suffered bullying successfully cast

MIKA song sounds very cheerful, but does not mean that his life has been the case. In fact, MIKA a student because of tall and thin, high-pitched voice and has been bullied, hard to get that part of the experience has been reflected in his music. However, childhood encountered these are isolated, humiliated unbearable past, did not destroy MIKA people born in later years. "This is very destructive to destroy, but if you are at this time was positive support, these things will cast you. It makes you feel recognized, it will lead you to become a more sincere and upright person. "this is hidden in the story behind MIKA cheerful melodies.


How can you forget a young man who let you through those difficult times? No, you never will. You will never forget their faces, their names will not forget. But the fact is that when those have become the past, one day you will find that you have inadvertently, and do not care. One very interesting thing, when MIKA was a kid, there was a time find it difficult to endure, he went to see a friend of his mother, an elderly Chinese man. MIKA told him some, such as "I hate school" "Everybody good for me" kind of complain, then, that Chinese men began to laugh MIKA. MIKA thought: "Why are you laughing you how you this rude, no compassion villain??!" Just then, the Chinese men pointing to the table in front of them for MIKA said: "You see, the table is empty because all the dishes have been taken away, but there is a black spot on the table you see the black spots on the table yet that is your problem, "Chinese man continued:."? you do point out a choice, you can choose to close this point, staring at it, then it looks gigantic. you can also choose to see the piece of cloth, then soon realize that you just pay attention very small . "MIKA was only 13 years old, not able to understand the meaning of Chinese men, but later grew older he came to understand:" There are some things when you're young and will feel a big problem, but when you grow up, you will suddenly find that no big deal "MIKA with their childhood state a fact: there are many things in life than it is important.
