I haven't been on in ages but I had to come on and say thank you to the people who filmed/downloaded this. I'm not having a good time of it in this semi-apocalypse and this is gonna improve my mood dramatically - I was working while this was live. Thank you thank you thank you.

I knew I had a fairly lengthy drive last night, and resisted the midnight urge to listen to it and took the whole thing in in order while I drove. it's I liked Ice Cream when I heard it as a single, Tiny Love is a masterpiece. But I will admit to being...unsure about the album. I am not unsure any more. I have notes on every song but I'll save my breath for the one that overwhelmed me: Blue is a magnum opus. I keep coming back to that phrase. It's art and perfection and so much else. It also kind of reminds me of A Case Of You? I was completely unprepared for it and ended up weeping in my car. Between Blue and Tiny Love (Reprise), I feel like this key to this album is that, to me, it is more than the sum of its parts. It's best taken together, as a single concept. All the songs seem to have common themes when viewed together. The whole thing reminds me of Passion Pit's masterpiece "Gossamer", especially the orchestral sections in Tiny Love Reprise. That song took the album to new heights entirely and I am infatuated. The album is spectacular. I am so happy.

It’s been a long while since I posted here but this interview has got me emotional. I didn’t realize that her health was so poor. This is a beautiful interview and the sincerity is palpable. Adds a whole nother layer layer of meaning to the album.

Mika, you already have a house in florida...we're waiting for you!

I think this just may be the most beautiful photo I have ever seen. Thank you so much for the HD Eriko!

I know she can be controversial but I am sO happy to have Jenifer back! I really loved her on the show and her and Mika together are adorable. I cannot wait for this season!!!

Hi Vivien! I'm Savannah, I'm 21 and I live in Florida, near Disney World. I love this intro. I agree with everyone else - I share so much of what you've said. Mika's world is so protective - such a nice, safe place to burrow down and stay. Mika tends to catch people like this - you just try to do a little research and he runs away with your heart ❤️ I know that's certainly how he got me! Sorry to hear that you're not doing very well at the moment but know that you'll always be supported here. This isn't just a fandom, it's a family, and a very warm one at that. I actually saw this post and recognized your handle and thought "...is that the person who just followed me on tumblr?" and it is! So we just followed each other on tumblr I'm sigynpenniman/londonmall1987/badbadmovies (I have too many tumblrs lol). I just followed you back on instagram as well lol. Welcome to the family Vivien!

Love the red suit! Do we have any idea when the season starts airing? Any schedules?

What a great show! I was so happy to hear Daft Punk. I had a 4 hour drive home today so this was a blessing. And I didn't realize his family origins were in Savannah, Georgia! I lived there for a while as a child! My name is Savannah too - nice to hear Mika say my name These shows are just about my favorite thing Mika does. He's so insightful and knowledgeable, picks such great songs and has such a nice radio voice.

Omg, he look so adorable - that hair has gotten so magnificent! I thought a couple years ago that we has seen the end of the curls for good, honestly. I'm not sure what encouraged him to bring the hair back, apparently for good, but I am just over the moon. So warm and kind and lovely as always. So happy for everyone who got to go to the recordings and talk to the man! We are truly blessed this Mika era.

Honestly everything I need today.

I know Make You Happy isn’t super well liked but I really enjoy it, especially the version with the strings. I also really love Step With Me, both due to how sweet of songs they are. The pure love in them really makes me happy. The CD version of Overrated is nice but the symphonic is like going to another world and is probably my all time favorite Mika thing. I think Tah Dah is my favorite song on this album. It’s so loud and energetic but so cutting at the same time - the absolute perfect car Kareoke song, and in my life a song’s value as car Karoke is of utmost importance!

Apologies that it took me so long to post these but here's the IG Lives from the day! Isabel's is cropped slightly on the top because I was getting notifications but nothing of import is cropped out!

Just recorded the Mondial one as well! I’ll put them on YouTube!

I’ve got a screen recording!

Happy to help! I feel sometimes like I just lurk on this forum and consume all the great work everyone else does, I'm always very happy when I can help or contribute or any small way.

For the sub team and anyone else who wants it: here's the video with the sound re-synced. The video was ahead of the audio, so all I had to do to sync it was put his giggles in slow motion https://mega.nz/#!YjAiiCzK!63oGaX0HXPBhgAdosJeL28jGSSQ8l56V61o-4SE6tXg

Tomorrow (it's 2:45 am in my time zone) I'l see if I can download the Facebook video and correct where the audio goes out of sync.

You're doing such amazing work!

Wow, I didn't even realize until seeing this how many places it had been shared. I went around and responded to as many as I could identifying myself and have added links at the bottom of the essay with links to my socials so people can find me. I'm overwhelmed with...all this. I'm melting. So much love.

Omg, y’all are gonna make me cry! Thank you so much for all the incredibly kind words! I really got great joy from writing this essay because I felt like it was something I just had to get out. I’m so absolutely flattered that it meant so much to everyone. Especially the comments that you wish Mika could read it - that might be the highest compliment you can bestow. You’re all so lovely, thank you 💗 Wow, I don’t even know what to say. You are so welcome, thank YOU.

Thank you all so so much! I had a lot of fun writing it so it makes me so happy that it's good! Yeah, it really was supposed to be about monster movies but Mika, as he often does, took over I have some monster movie reviews in my drafts so I'll be steering it back towards the description eventually. The closest I've come to being published is handing in many, many English papers LOL. I take that as a great compliment, thank you! I absolutely will! I have exactly 0 followers on my blog as it's really just a side project so I have a place to publish all the reviews and such I find myself wanting to write, but if I get any responses from non-fans I will certainly pass them on. Please do! You are more than welcome to share on twitter and facebook etc! And omg, I would be so flattered if you wanted to translate it. It's very long, that's quite a task! But I would be thrilled and flattered. If translating it is something you feel like taking on, be my guest!

For the longest time I've had the thought that I wanted someone to write about Mika, this fandom, and Casa Mika/the impact of Casa Mika. I finally thought, no one else is going to write it, so I will! I have a tumblr called "Bad Bad Movies" which I started to write reviews and articles about movies and TV shows I love. I really love bad old sci fi films, so that's what I named my blog. I've got some posts about bad sci fi in my drafts, but this is my first post because I felt like it was just inside me and I had to get it out. I really love writing and loved writing papers for my University classes, and now that I've graduated I really missed writing things. What I've wanted was specifically for someone to write a journalistic, almost academic essay about Casa Mika and all it means to people, so that's the perspective I wrote it from - a sort of neutral journalistic perspective and as if I was talking to an audience who had no idea who Mika was. Hopefully if my blog attracts some followers and becomes popular some other people will read this and maybe check the show out! But of course y'all should be the first to read it, because no one else will appreciate it more! Warning: it's rather long Hope you all enjoy! http://badbadmovies.tumblr.com/post/178330041491/themagicofmika

We get an official English translation? We are truly spoiled this day! Wonderful article!
