Did someone save the periscope? Pretty please? I couldn't watch it yesterday and it seems it was a very good show.

I'll go for Porcelain for obvious reasons XD

Oh thanks so much! They do show another side of him for sure

Some pics are very beautiful, but some others are.... weird, to say the least... I couldn't help but laugh. Wonder what the text means though. Thanks for posting, Eriko

Translation "When I write I don't have to protect myself. I'm not ashamed of myself and I feel at ease. Generally I'm afraid of how I can be interpreted, of who I am. When I write, on the contrary, I can speak about whatever I want". Even if control's an illusion: "When I create I go beyond my intentions". Mika met the director Ivan Cotroneo at Corriere della Sera and their surprising and honest dialogue will be published on La Lettura item 191 out on Sunday July 26th. Here's the photoshoot by Monica Silva

Aaawww beautiful pics!! Thanks for posting

He says (more or less) "Bye everyone, enjoy your vacation. There's the sun, there's the sea, there's the mountains, there's no school and for a few days you'll be off work... it's vacation time! See you all in September with the new XF season, we're working hard on it and it'll be really cool! A big hug and see you"

Ahahah I love that Mika's always the one to speak a lot more than the others. Thanks for sharing

Thanks a lot for the scans. The comment about the Swatch project cracked me up

It seems they finally mended the hole on his crotch. It's been there for a whole month XD

Totally agree. I saw this thread popping up again yesterday and I decided to whatch the whole interview again. Despite the fact that I was one of the people who worked on it to have it subtitled and already knew it in parts when I first watched it, I found myself crying a bit by the end. The same thing happened yesterday, even though I had already watched it, I still shed more than one tear

Thanks a lot Alba!

The link doesn't work for me. could anyone please copy and paste the article here?

Funny interview! Especially loved how the host was trying to make him stay a little longer and asked him to play the piano. I really enjoyed it, he was in a good mood. It's nice to know he's happy even though all this going back and forth must be tiring and he himself said he was jet lagged

Sorry for stepping in, but I thought I had to tell you that paper crowns for Good Guys were already used at Caribana festival in Switzerland last month, therefore that wouldn't be new either

Does it even say what that means? XD

Thanks Eriko. It's kind of weird to read those answers about love and sexuality now that he's so much more open about it, he must've felt very uncomfortable. I couldn't help but think about the lyrics to NPIH ''for every love I had to hide''. And what about that milk commercial? It's the first time I read about it. Is there any way to find it?

I tried to take a look and see if I could find something. The only thing I found is this girl's twitter. You could ask her maybe? https://mobile.twitter.com/lemauvaistemps/status/614567468934254593

my favourite among all the French songs as well. My overall favourite is still Underwater though...

Thank you You basically saved 3 hours of my life XD

Thanks Melyssa, that sounds interesting. Now I'm really looking forward to watch it. He's doing some very good interviews lately, isn't he?

Yes it occurred to me that it probably was a clever pun, but as I said, I didn't have the slightest idea about how to convey that in English. It's too bad that the best things often get lost in translation

Not that you needed a song to be bitchy I like it too, by the way I think the lyrics on the album are a bit different and I'm not a native French speaker (corrections are welcome) but I'll try to translate it anyway, so you can get an idea. Let's see... You gave me roses, I sent you upstairs You wanted to take a break, I said "let's go on" You wanted the countryside, we live in Paris You say no, I say yes You wanted Gaisbourg, I put on Booba You wanted to make love, we made Zumba You wanted a boy, we called him Susie You say no, I say yes Saying "I love you", that's not the problem Hear me when I tell you, I don't want to I don't want to (no I don't want to) As husbands who say yes I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to please you I don't want to, I don't want to, if you love me, just tell me Singing, you say "this isn't love", but you see I'm not the moron you think I am, this song's for you You wanted Peru, you only got the hat You wanted the Ferris wheel, you got the roundabout You want a lover, I said "we'll see" You say white, I say black Saying "I love you", that's not the problem Hear me when I tell you, I don't want to I don't want to (no I don't want to) Do like this, like husbands who say yes I don't want to, I don't want to please you I don't want to, I don't want to, if you love me, just tell me Singing, You say "this isn't love", but you see I'm not the moron you think I am, this song's for you You wanted passion, you got Mon Chérie You wanted to escape, I bought some kiwis You've wanted to see mum, we saw mine [i'm not sure if he says 'mum 'or 'sea' here. I'm going for 'mum', since he then says 'mine'. Or maybe it's a pun and I have no idea how to translate that in English] You say Rome, I say Vienna Because I don't want to.

I've been listening to this song for 2 days in a row and I'm not tired of it yet. I find the idea of all these kisses wandering around waiting to be given and getting lost forever if they're not, utterly sad... it makes me think about all the kisses we could've given to the people we love but we didn't dare to give for whatever reason and now they won't ever come back. I don't know why but this is almost heartbreaking to me and his soft voice is almost like a tender caress that soothes the pain

Oh yes I know, don't worry. I was just speaking for the sake of it Indeed! I was expecting much worse too
