does the box deluxe edition come in a jewel CD case? or is it a carboard fold out thing?

does anyone know where I can buy this single?

Relax (Maxi CD) - 1. Relax, Take It Easy; 2. Lollipop [Live From L'Olympia Paris]; 3. I Want You Back [Live From L'Olympia Paris]; 4. Relax, Take It Easy [Dennis Christopher Remix (Radio Edit)] and 5. Lollipop [Fred Deakin's Fredmix]

is the cover and tracklisting out yet?

I need to get this edition as well. It comes in a regular case YaY! Instead of these annoying new cases. I just had to buy Mika Nakashima's LE photo book first.

Oh I love it. Are you sure that's the official single cover though? and not just promo?

Casablanca/Universal Republic’s Mika, another U.K. star seeking cross-oceanic success, will debut with around 30k, followed by Universal Motown’s Kaiser Chiefs, yet one more neo-British Invasion critical fave looking to make inroads with stateside rock fans.

dunno how europe and america's taste can be so different.

let's hope he'll do an corinne bailey rae (who debuted with just 20k and have went on to sell 1.2 million records in america)

I saw on amazon.com that the album is only $7.99

Don't they realize that people who are interested in the album would still buy it if it was $15.99?

I don't get this Perez Hilton thing. I realize that it's good press and all ...but...

When he started doing interviews he said something like "I want to keep my private life"

then why is he associating with someone who ruins (some) celebs private lifes?

someone ought to setup a radio request thread...Life In Cartoon Motion might flop if it doesn't get proper radio play.

brilliant!

Just saw that he's number 12 @ hits' Vibe Raters

"Int’l pop star impacting T40, AAA, Alt w/#1 UK single! Great spins on WPLJ, WXRV, WBMX, WBOS, KNRK, Sirius, XM, more. All Over MTV!!! MTV; MTV2, MTV "Discover & Download." AOL Music Breakers,.

Amazon.com Sales Rank: #86 in Music

I really really hope that he does as well as this in America.

BTW River, is that Nakashima Mika in your avatar?

Yes!

her new album is out now

thank you.

I'm just curious ... how is the MIKA hype in america? Is he getting any radio play? do you think his album will do well?

ugh it's getting harder and harder to like Mika. Why on earth would he like to be associated with that idiot?

just wanted to share these fun pictures i found on the web.

The album is absolutely brilliant! My current favorite song is Stuck in the Middle.

I have only two complaints:

1 many of the songs are too short.

2 For some reason I think he could have done a better job with 'Any Other World.' It could have been a little more powerful (can't find the words)

thanks for the write-up jemmalee

enough with english songs! I wanna hear what he sounds like in french, arabic, and chinese.

To me it doesn't really matter what songs he cover as long as he MIKATIZE them.

Thanks. much appreciated

thanks.

Mika should re-release the album with a DVD containing the videos and an album commentary.
