  1. Thank you Dean, as always. It is a great idea. I hope everyone writes letters because they care. I believe the management has an open-door policy, and that they are willing to listen to fans' voices. I think that the second show in NYC is a response from Mika. He and the management are not ignoring the complains, but they are listening, I think. So even if the show was in NYC, I do appreciate they cared for us, fans. We know how much Mika cares for us! We Japanese are not so far affected by cancellation, however, we have been voicing concerns about overbooking issue. We feel really sorry for people who missed his concerts due to cancellations, or due to limited number of tickets available. Of course we were very, very concerned about his health issue too, and were surprised because there was little communication from the management regarding cancellation/his health condition. Timely communication from the management/PR (ex. in his HP/myspace) could have cleared confusion much more effectively and quickly, I believe. I would like to suggest the management to create a team such as, Fans Relations - like investor relations, you know. That way they can directly communicate with us, and get direct feedback from fans. We do not need info manipulated by media, but accurate info from them. (Regarding foreign language issue, we can elect a representative from each country within MFC, and translate the message from Fans Relations at each thread. How about that?) We all wish Mika to have a long, successful career. I understand challenges and difficulties he faces - all happened so quickly, in such a global scale. His management team is a very experienced, professional group of people, who have been in the business for a long time. They should know how to manage artist's career, and give him advice if necessary, I suppose. Fans trust you, guys. Anakinglobewalker (Japan)
  2. GREAT:thumb_yello: Thanks for the beautiful photos! I am sooooooooooo happy for everyone there!!! He must have been energized by love from everyone! So how is his heath condition? Did anyone have a chat with him/the band/his manager? Just a few more gigs in August, right? I travel frequently on business, in and out of Japan, sometimes traveling 2-3 cities/countries in a day. I can imagine how hard it has been for him. I truly admire their team effort. I am very very sorry for the people who missed his gig, but I believe they are trying to do the best they can. It must have been so tough (and fun, of course) for him, the band, his family and everyone involved in this new venture. I hope everyone will have a loooong vacation (they may work on the 2nd album though/new video/DVD etc.).
  3. We Love Mika! The Japan's best and the craziest Mika fan club presents; Dr. Mika, MAD SCIENTIST Dr. Mika is working on a special project. TO BE CONT'D.... Artwork by Cue, our member and a well-known illustrator/catoonist/anime figure designer/writer in Japan. Some of us are Rocky Horror Show fans:bleh: We are planning to give him a Mad Scientist Costume Play kit at the next gig in Japan <<<<<<<<< P L S H E L P >>>>>>>>>>>>> I have not figured out how to directly copy a photo to a thread. Appreciate if someone can help. Thanks!
  4. CazGirl chan, Yes, You will find the reports here; http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4754&page=23 Blue Sky, you uploaded photos somewhere, right? Videos; http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=anakinglobewalker
  5. Cazgirl chan! Konnichiwa! Hai, Mika ha, everywhere desu! He said he would be back next year, but looking at the crazy crowd at the gig, I guess the gig will be at much larger concert hall... Blue Sky help us getting the best spot for all of us, ppppplease! Oh Blue sky now Mary is the moderator of WLM. I have retired. I cannot spend much time at Mixi anymore because I work for looooong hours on PC, and my doctor said less time! Oops looks like I will live here...danger! I have got to go!
  6. Howday Blue Sky! Thanks again for everything you did for us at the gig! How could we thank you! <I am sitting through the conference sessions here, gazing at my Mika pics ALL DAY...okashikunatchatta. Byoki mitai...hokano hanashi wa dekinakunachatte sa.... But I am converting all the conference attendees to Mika!! Hahahahahaha! You are surrounded by how many Mika?! Good thing you are not turning them into sausage or something else with an imaginary wand, lol! Pretty much the same at Mixi (ladies FYI Mixi is a social networking service in Japan and we have a fan club there called We Love Mika!). People do not seem to know how to live after he is GONE (sigh. Too short). Mika Mika darling, you are such a naughty boy, making all the girls an boys crazy about you. Tsumi na hito ne! Ikenai ko yo! Blue Sky ga byoki ni nacchatta jya nai! Anata ga Blue Sky wo annmari tsuyoku hug suru kara yo! (I said Blue Sky is gone crazy since Mika hugged her so hard) ! ミカ病よ! I love Melbourne! My favorite destination! I go to Australia once a year to dive at GBR, then down to Sydney & Melbourne for the amazing FOOD. One of the best in the world! I never miss Balmoral beach and the Bather's pavillion (a famous restaurant)!
  7. Oh yes, Jeyjen, when you come to Japan, please let us know! We will be happy to show you around! You have got friends all over the world! POWER of LOVE LOVE MIKA!
  8. Hi Jeyjen-san, The word 'san' is a suffix. It is kinda like Mr./Ms./Mrs. It has phonetically changed from 'sama', a more polite form. It shows respect or affection to the person/animal you mention. In case of a child, pet, brothers/sisters, close family and friends, or someone /something we adore, we usually use 'chan' instead; e.g. Mika chan, Anakin-chan, my little rose chan (my dear little rose tree). By using chan we show affection to that person/animal/things. If I call him Mika sama, it surely would sound silly (lol). He is Mika chan. So, in order of politeness, 1. sama (most polite form; usually we use it for clients/patients, someone you provide services) 2. san (most commonly used/versatile form; you can use this for someone you know/you do not know. But we do not use it when we mention our family, colleagues/bosses to a third-party) 3. chan (used in case of close relationship or someone very young) For Freddie Mercury, I would rather use Freddie sama, lol!
  9. Ha, s & h & i & t turns automatically ****, how funny, lol!
  10. Hi there Minasan konnichi ha! I guess it would be better to write in roma-ji, right? Ok if I mix up English and Japanese? Minasan nihongo ga jozu desu ne! Subara-shii! Muzukashii no ni, ureshii na! Arigato----! Dokode benkyo shima****a ka? ( Wow you guys write Japanese so well, how wonderful! It is a tough language to learn, I am so happy to meet people who took efforts to learn it! Thank you very much! Where did you learn Japanese (inc. Sushi bar, lol!)) Mika ha subarashi katta ne! So****e, minna ga Mika wo ai****e ru yo! Mika was amazing! And everybody at the gig loved his performance. Tokorode, minasan, official Fan Club no sign-up ha shima****a ka? Freddie's thread de sign up shiyo-ne! We do not want to lose MFC. Mata kimasu. See you!
  11. HAHAHAHAHA!This is hillarious! Great job:punk: I am very very sorry for the Canadian fans. It is possible that the management reconsidered the schedule after the Austrian thing. We Japanese fans have been worried about 8/10 too. The schedule looked totally crazy. Four events just a few days after the concerts in super hot and steamy Japan? Are you out of mind? He said he only had two hours looking around in Tokyo. And jet lag. All of them looked exhausted when we met them in Tokyo. We were horrified after learning that there had been multiple cancellations, so checked with the event organizer almost every other day. We also had tonnes of presents for him which took us 2 months. One of our artist buddies suffer depression and she could not come to the gig. I had her message. We desperately hoped he would be okay and come to Japan. It was really, really scary. He is a superstar but a human. But now his life looks like the 'Sweet Dreams', doesn't it? Let's hope he will learn how to manage his life, take some time off soon, get inputs for new ideas, have a long, successful carrer and make everyone happy. Let me tell you Mika looked sooooooooo happy when he was singing with his little sister (oh my. She is gorgeous. No wonder he made the lollipop song, lol. And she's a goood singer). She looked a bit tense, and he was so caring. I was very, very touched. How wonderful to see all the family working together! We all believe that it is worth waiting for. We waited for seven months. There are people waiting for him, the band, and his family all over the world. The world is his stage, right? In the meantime, how about new ideas for more presents?? How about suggesting Universal Canada (is it?) to create fun products for you guys (e.g. Canada-only T-shirt, sitckers, mag cups, accesories for mobile phones, etc.)? You will be busy, lol!
  12. Everyone, thank you soooo much for all of your comments! I am quite tall (I was close to 180cm with shoes on) and you see, most of Japanese girls are short. So I can get good pictures. Re sound quality, I was standing right next to the main speaker. Also Mika's sound tech people did hell of a good job! We picky listeners were very impressed. Thanks! Can someone show me how to attach a large photo directly?? I have tonnes of photos I would like to share with you. Hi Yoshie, YEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH we met him! Please come to the 'Japanese Thread' at Chin Wag. We (we have a Japanese fan club called 'We Love Mika!' at Mixi) are going to have a karaoke party in Osaka. We can shing ALL OF MIKA SONGS (SING ALONG) plus watch videos, etc. Our buddy in Osaka will organize it. They are very, very nice and of course they are mad about Mika and his music. One of girls is a musician. Wasn't he sweeeeeeeeeeet?? He must have been exhausted, you know, two gigs in a row. But he came out for us. He was wearing the yukata we made. All of our dreams have realized. We had such a precious moment. How can we ever thank him, his family, his band, and everyone who worked hard to make this gig happen? Wasn't he totally amazing? You know I was standing on the second row, so I could hear his real voice even though I was so close to a huge speaker. It 'hit' me, his every word hit me, right into my heart. Unbelievable. And what an amazing entertainer. Just a perfection. He will come to Japan again next year; if he has more than one gigs I will definitely go all of them!!! Surely it will be harder to get tickets, and we may never be able to see him so close. But we will be happy just to listen and watch him perform.
  13. No one can stop his hype! I donno what happened but he lost one of the sticks when he fell over Cherisse (Poor thing!). He was using only one stick (see photo - I try to attach a large photo. Sorry I don't know how to do that) . Actually the stage is fairly small. Maybe too small for the big guy, lol! BTW, I tried that kimono we made before giving it to him (HA HA HA), believe me it was BIG. I have never, never seen a HUGE kimono like this My husband, who actually saw Mika gig for the first time, was in a total shock to see him JUMPING and HOPPING around the small stage. 'How does he sing SO LOUD and jump around? The guy must have a BIG HEART!' Yes, he has a big heart for everyone:mf_lustslow: Funny thing is...my friend secretly smelled his hair when she met him (you see he is so tall and had to bend over to sign), and surpirisingly he was not stinky at all, she said, ha ha ha.
  14. Yeah, they are Universal Japan staff's work. Actually Mika's Japan web site (within Universal Japan) is frequently updated, they make special blog for summer festivals where you can see bunch of Fuji Rock backstage photos (SOMEBODY PLEASE SHOW ME 'UPLOAD BIG PHOTOS for a dummy') , made fun promotional products like poncho, stickers, Japanese round fan for summer, special video for LICM & bonus track, etc. Robertina, send these photos to Universal Italia and motivate them!
  15. WE MET MIKA:mf_lustslow: OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG Is this a real life? Is this a fantasy? Am I back on earth or am I still in MikaWonderLand? Mika wearing Yukata (a bathrobe/casual kimono) and emerald green Obi!We almost fainted to look at him wearing yukata! Finally we could hand him so many presents and a huuuuge message book (believe me they are ARTWOKRS!) we prepared for him...it took us for months. Oh, Oh, Oh, we met him in person:mf_lustslow: , asked him if he liked our presents and Yukata. He said, 'OMG! I love, love them! Thank you very very much!!!!'(FAINT) Oh those eyes... I do not remember what he wore, and the rest of the words he said... I was almost in tears. We made our day. our dream has come true:mf_lustslow: Everyone worked so hard for this day. Million thanks to everyone at 'We Love Mika!' fan club and MFC! Here are some videos I took. Enjoy! http://jp.youtube.com/user/anakinglobewalker Liquid was totally packed with about 900 people; who said Japanese are quiet and reserved? No they were not. They were crazzzzzzy! The security guys screamed 'No Photo! No Photo!' Are you nuts? Do you seriously think we are gonna go home without photos and videos? We have got to show all of this to the world! Of course everyone ignored the guy:thumbdown: So you see all the gorgeous photos from Blue Sky and us. We stayed at Liquid until 11 p.m, came home in poring rain (FYI rain stopped while Mika was in Liquid... like Fuji Rock. A Miracle), uploaded videos at You Tube, chatted with everyone until 3 a.m.zzzzzzz Blue Sky, did you pack? More photos follow later.
  16. Hi everyone, I need your help! We all know that Mika loves Tamagocchi and plastic figures. We recently learned from a Hong Kong magazine article that he loves Astro Boy. Remember, Mika-in-shorts photo? He was on the bed with a few plastic figures (actually some of them are serious collector items). I happen to be a long-time Astro boy fan (lol), and wondered why he bought the items in HK, instead of getting them in Japan while he was here for MTV award. Actually, one of my friends, a Mika fan, is a well-known professional designer, who designs Japanese animation characters. So we thought it would be cool to give him really rare items, which are available only in anime-maniac heaven Japan. Of course, we will get Japan-only special version tamagocchis too. We are even thinking about taking him to a famous labo/factory! We will do our best to make you happy, Mika:thumb_yello: Could you please let me know any articles, inteviews, photos about his figure collections, so that we can figure out his favorites? Thanks much!
  17. Oh, you naughty girl, lol! OMG we polite Japanese would never ask mighty Mika to do that, lol:roftl: He can just wear it like a long jacket, or any way he like. We will attach an instruction in English w/photos. If he wishes, I will be happy to help him wear kimono (I took classes for 3 years - just a hobby- can do wedding kimono, mens kimono too hehe ). My CAN husband loves kimono, so I am used to do it. But only in my dream.... Yes, I need to touch his hip to put obi belt around his hip:biggrin2: .
  18. Thanks sooooo much again everyone! Now I got his height and hip size, we can start making one! What a lucky man he is, being loved by so many, many wonderful fans:thumb_yello: Blue sky, come in to Mixi. We've found the fabric already, you can see it on the present thread. It is actually a Japanese kimono (FY for everyone, it is like a bath robe) . A very flexible design. It should fit him okay. The challenging part is, how we get to him and ask him to TRY it on - he can try it on over his T-shirt... Yeah, me too:naughty: Also for the big, beautiful eyes, too. Oh yes, that Mika photo with MFC undie was hilarious:roftl:!
  19. Hi Mary! Yeah we watched KoKo gig on a big screen TV, and were saying his height could be somewhere around 187-190 range, and his foot size could be 28-29, lol! I only wish I had his hip size...
  20. Thanks everyone! MFC is the BEST resource for Mika info! 6"2'-6"3'・・・ hmmm no wonder the upright piano looked kinda small in the video, lol! )... but taller if you count his hair. Sooooo funny! Oh that gorgeous hair...
  21. Hi, does anyone know his height? My friends and I are talking about giving him a present at an upcoming live in Japan, and we need to find out his height. I looked for the info at this forum but could not find one. It does not have to be exact size. 2 to 3 cm difference is perfectly acceptable. Thanks in adnavce for your help.
  22. Yeah, it's awsome!!! We are soooooooo excited! Perfect timing before official release of LICM in June. And he is coming to Japan TWICE (for MTV award and for a big music festival)! I want to steal it and put it on my deck as a sun shade, so that I can sleep under Mika...ha ha ha. BTW LICM is to be released in Japan in June 20, and Your Sympathy will be added as a bonus track. Is that the first time to be added to LICM??
  23. Yeah, it is bizarre. Even if we go there just for one-day it will not be very affordable due to transportation and accomodation. I was afraid that this would happen. Mika is a BIG artist but he is not yet well known in Japan...so we guessed that we might not be able to have opportunities to see him at clubs like you guys do in U.K./Europe/U.S. This might be the only chance we can see him...I hope NOT! Although I am a music lover I do not really want to be standing for three days...it will be over 30 degrees at the end of July even in a ski resort. I bet he and the band will not do Love Today gig wearing lion/rabbit/whatever costume, lol. I am really jealous of you guys!
  24. Mika will appear in Fuji Rock Festival in Japan, which will be held for three days from July 27 to 29 in a ski resort (thus quite far away from any large cities). Tickets are on sale now, however, the festival management company does not disclose detailed festival schedule yet. So we do not know which date Mika or any other artist will appear. The three-day ticket costs 39,800 yen or 250 euro! Including transportation to the town and accomodation, it will be easily over $1,000! And it is not refundable... I don't believe this! Of course we can see performances of many other artists, but young Mika fans may not be able to afford this kind of money. I have to work, so I cannot attend for three days either. We desperately hope Mika will play gig in large cities so that all of Mika fans can go. Mika, please help us! :crybaby:
  25. WOW WOW WOW It was certainly your day! I am soooooo happy for you! I bet you're gonna faint when you receive a thank you mail from MIKA:mf_lustslow: Are you ready for the rendezvous? You deserve a huge hug:roftl: :roftl: Thanks again Sivan, for all your hard work and sharing your exciting moment with us. I cannot wait for the video! BTW I learned today Mika is coming to Fuji Rock Festival (it is a huge summer music festival in Japan) in July but donno whether he will do gig at clubs. I do wish he will... it is a lot more fun! Only if I could speak to him...
