Le concert de Mika, hier au Bikini de Ramonville, a bien failli se transformer en une soirée dansante, sur fond de bande sonore aux petits oignons, tant le public a eu du temps à tuer avant son entrée en scène ! Un Mika qui émerge d’une gloriette dont les battants s’ouvrent pour le laisser passer. Son apparition est précédée d’une succession de voix d’artistes disparus : Oum Kaltsoum, Tino Rossi, Barbara et bien d’autresfantômes…

« No place to Heaven », tel est le titre de son dernier album et celui de sa tournée. « Comme y’a pas de prod pour faire suer, ce soir, plus tard, si vous voulez quelque chose, je le fais », dit-il à la foule compacte (près de 1 500 fans). Avec son dragon brodé dans le dos et ses shoes Louboutin pailletées, Mika grimpe sur le piano, fait chanter à la foule « Big girls you are beautiful ». Bondissant sur son tapis rose, il leur annonce : « Ce soir, je vais faire un truc que j’ai jamais fait : je vais chanter Big boys you are beautiful » (« grands garçons, vous êtes beaux »). Mika introduit quelques morceaux au piano et saute comme un cabri sur le titre « Boum Boum Boum » (en français). Il joue même un bref instant du piano debout comme Elton John. Mika est un garçon plaisant. On lui pardonne tout….

Mika sera en concert au Phare, à Tournefeuille, dimanche 11octobre. Tarif: 41€.

Hello MIKA fans!

My name is Eri from Tokyo, Japan. I'm 22 year-old girl who love MIKA.

I love him and his songs since 2007. When I was about 14, I saw him perform Love Today on TV(I think that show was "So you think you can dance".) and since then I've been fascinated by him.

I've been to his every concerts in Tokyo including the secret show at Harajuku.

I don't have friends who like MIKA, so I want to be friends with you!

My goal in life is taking a selfie with him :Dlol

 

Thank you for reading this!

 

Eri

Happy to say hello to you, Eri-san

You must be a lucky girl who found MIKA  in the bloom of youth.   

Enjoy and have a fun together!

I'm a newcomer in here too.

Eriさん、はじめまして。

青春時代にMIKAに出会えたのは本当にラッキーなことですね！

一緒に楽しんでいきましょう！

私もここでは新入りです。

He does use a curtain to hide the decor, probably it means they have to let the curtain drop after Origin of Love. If I remember right it was just before Relax the decor-setting shows?

Hi, Froy,

Thanks for the another helpful info!

Oh, did he use curtains? It sounds more dramatic!

It seems that the curtain played an important role in bridging the two songs.

Anyway, I will see for myself soon. 12days before Limoges gig..   

I'm looking forward to seeing KABUKI drop!

All the Best!

Hi,

It's frustrating to say I can't make it.

If only it had been announced a month ealier...

btw, I LOVE the poster with lovely frowers and butterflies and a caterpillar.

Yasmine's work always inspire me.

You can catch a glimpse her original drawing on this video around 9:30.

(If I remember well) he leaves the stage after Origin of Love and enters again through the gate to start Relax. 

 

Correct me if I'm wrong. 

Hi, DutchAnnie,

Thanks for the useful info!

It seems that KABUKI or Kabuki Drop is a jargon used among staging professionals..

A kind of staging techniques.

He didn't use drapes or curtains, but the beautiful gate.

Maybe he aimed at a dramatic impact on starting Relax by appearing on the stage from the centre gate.

Hi,

I'm so interested in the word "KABUKI" in the setlist for Brussels.

Generically, KABUKI means one of Japanese traditional performing arts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabuki

If anybody can remember what he did something special after Origin of Love, please let me know!

I hope everyone who is planning to attend this show has RSVP'd to our calendar HERE: http://www.mikafanclub.com/calendar/event/819-adelphi-theatre-london/

 

We're thinking it might be nice to arrange a get-together before the gig -- there are too many of us to do a dinner, but maybe we can do a cocktail hour, with snacks somewhere. I'd like to have a better count. Currently we're at 88 MFCers, but I know of at least 5 others who haven't added their names to the list. Anyone else? I think we're going to be right around 100! Can't wait to see you all!

Sounds Great!!   

It would be a golden opportunity for me to get to know MFCers from over the world.

Thanks,

NaoMika☆

Happy to say hello to you, Eriko-san!

NaoMika☆

OK !

 

Anyway, enjoy at here !!

Eriko-san,

Finally..

I could managed to open my twitter account.

My galapagos mobile doesn't allow me to browse internet smoothly, but I think it's good to have a communication tool to chat with MIKAfans.

I added my twitter account infomation on my profile page, so check it and follow me if you like!

えり子さん、こんにちは。

どうにかこうにか twitterアカウントを開いてみました。

先日お話ししたとおりガラケー環境のままですが、皆さんとのコミュニケーションツールを持ててうれしいです。

MFCのプロファイルに情報を追加しましたので、もしよろしければフォローくださいませ。

NaoMika☆

Happy to say Hello to you, Salura22!

Thanks posting from Canada! It's fun to getting to know a MIKAfan from abroad.

Yes, UK gig will be a special one, or we will make it a legend!

Why don't you join the UK gig? Just jump over the Atlantic, C'moooon! 

I think some tickets are still left on sale...

Anyway, I can't wait seeing MIKA and MFCers flocking around there.

NaoMika☆

こんにちは。MFCへようこそ。

 

ロンドンのライブいいですね。今からレポートが楽しみです。

Delighted to say hello to you, tomomi-san!

I'm not sure that I can keep my mind calm enough to shoot movies or pics,  but I will try out somehow.

Please don't expect periscope streaming from me, I'm not familiar to the application.

Maybe other lots of MFCers will provide  high quality ones.

はじめまして、tomomiさん！

写真や動画を冷静に撮れるか自信がないですが、何とか頑張ります！

periscopeストリーミング中継は申し訳ないですが期待しないでください・・。その類のアプリに全く慣れていないんです。（そもそもガラケーだし）

多分、他の多くの現地MFCersがハイクオリティなものを中継してくれると思います！

NaoMika☆

Happy to say hello to you,  masumin!

 
I'm a newcomer in here too!

Wow...you saw MIKA in 2009!

I didn't know even his name at the time.

はじめまして。

私もここでは新入りです。

一緒に楽しんでいきましょう!

2009年のライヴ観たのですね！素敵！

私はその頃はMIKAの名前も知りませんでした・・。

NaoMika☆

  Sorry, I missed your Twitter account... could you let me know your Twitter please ?

Ah,  don't be sorry for that...

Coz I don't have my own twitter account.

Due to a business matter, I have no access to any kind of SNS at office.

When I'm out of office , I only have an internet access via ガラケー mobile..

I gave up having my twitter.

あー、えり子さん、申し訳ないです。

実は、自分のツイッターアカウント持っていないのです。

業務上、あらゆるSNSへのアクセスが制限されておりまして。

職場以外だとガラケーしかないというインターネット環境なのです。

MFCは職場でもアクセスできてます。
