I recorded it myself and went straight to YouTube for Mika-lovers all over the world.

Yeah, I know, it was cute and funny♪ What was that cup-shaped building he drew?

Mika on a Japanese program talking about Japanese culture with Marty Friedman (Megadeth) who loves and lives in Japan. All in English. Really cute when he tries to say "please give me some rice" in Japanese. Surprisingly good pronunciation! http://youtube.com/watch?v=LaAlSJj947Q

Mika still had the Tamagochi hanging from his neck end of April when he visited Japan. ↓ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXlK-wbsrr0 Has he kept it since? He's so busy visiting so many places the dog would feel really lonely unless Mika takes it everywhere with him.

That's it! I thought it was strange when I was watching it. I was like, "Wow, the quality is as good as the one from LA. The performance looks exactly the same from the LA one, too." Before watching the video, in excitement of watching Mika's "Chicago" performance, left a comment saying in a rush "have you seen the one from LA?" Wonder if she/he has posted a response. Ok, I just checked now but she hasn't posted a response, just ignored my comment.

Have my fingers crossed for you. Go Blue Sky!!

This is the one I saw at first, too. I remember when I watched the one with the umbrella, it felt kind of strange. Personally, I like this one better with him looking so beautiful♪

I know! He's just so delicious! You can see he's really enjoying himself during this interview. I love his music but also LOVE LOVE his interviews!!

Reallｙ? I know they're planning to give Mika gifts(Yukata and Toys?) at the Mixi Community but I might look for something myself if I have a chance. Kouchi is where the writer of ANPANMAN is from and there are LOTS of ANPANMAN stuff all over the place.(It's kind of strange really and I was really surprised when I first moved here. There's a train called ANPANMAN-GOU and a museum dedicated to it etc.) I may be able to find something related to ANPANMAN that's not found in other places, Thanks for the offer.

Wow, that was really sad, especially when the ghost of the old lady disappears after playing with the old man on the piano. "Say good bye to the world you thought you lived in." I think it's true that there are moments in life when you suddenly realize that the world you thought you lived in wasn't exactly as you thought it was - when something you believed in is proven to be false, or someone you loved is no longer around... It's a sad song but is absolutely beautiful.... Love the strings.

Sorry, I don't know if you can download it anywhere.

Oh, I see. I thought him playing with TOCHIAZUMA(the sumo wrestler figure) was kind of cute. He really digs small, artsy things. Planning to give him more of these cute things at Liquid to hang from his neck?

Poor Mika. The Tamagochi died on him again...

I didn't think they were that big either. But, seeing him holding his hair up to show his ears, I kind of wondered what he'd look like if he had short hair. Hmm... I think I'd prefer his hair just the way it is now.

Wow, you've got a tight schedule there. Well, whether you decide to go or not, you'll still be a part of the small unique world he creates at the Liquid Room and that alone would be a FABULOUS experience! 楽しんでね！

Blue Sky This was the only one I was able to watch so wanted to share it with everyone. Glad you liked it! You're going to Fuji Rock? Wow... That's really expensive and...well, they say it's not very hygienic there. lol But Mika will make everything worth the while I'm sure!

I know. It'd be great to have a friend like Mika. So sweet, funny, and smart.

Yeah, I know. You can see her literally falling in love with him in front of the camera.

He's funny, hillarious, and really having fun - sings like a dog; "big ears"; giggles deliciously while blushing. Even if you don't know a single word of Japanese, you can enjoy this lovey interview It was taped in late April, I think, when he was visiting Japan for MTVJ's VMA. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXlK-wbsrr0

Hi Blue Sky, This is also at the end of the vid I pasted, but with much greater quality. Chekc it out!

Mika in Avalon was posted on YouTube by okeastron. The sound quality is just amazing. (I haven't read all the posts on the thread. Sorry if someone else has already put them on) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4znw2Ypn_w Love Today - he goes topless towards the end! Just amzing performance! You can find all the other songs posted by the same person.

I do believe he's been overworked with his crazy schedule. He loves toys and wanted to buy them in Japan, but didn't have time to even go to 1 shop in Japan. Come on!! What are the people arranging his schedule thinking? I liked this interview quite a lot because it sounded really candid. He talks a lot about what making music means to him, what being a star entails, and how he feels about it. Maybe he sounds a bit sad/tired because that's how he's honestly feeling now.

I love Mika's interviews. First I heard GK and fell in love with him, then saw him singing and thought he was to kill for, and then the interviews - he's a wonderful speaker with a great personality! His accent changes quite a bit even during a single interview. I remember he said that he confuses people with his accent and tries to stable it. In the past few years, I've been working with people from all over the world and with various accents. I find it sneaks into my speach, giving me a very strange British sound from time to time...

I was thinking the same thing. When acquiring a language, and becoming articulate in it, reading is usually seen as an intergral part of it. Teachers always suggest students to read books and write journals/essays, if they want to become strong at the language. Mika manages to amaze me over and over as I learn more about him. (whereas many celebs seem to do the opposite...)

Thanks guys for the info! It helps to know that he CAN read. I guess we'll try to write in big letters and include lots of pictures/drawings.
