I had already sent my entry a few days ago when Eriko found the link but since technically the contest starts from today I don't know if it will be valid (it probably won't be anyway since I'm not French haha but I wanted to try), so I tried again today but (of course) it said that I had already participated and didn't let me..:dunno:

Yes, and the areas are:  Fédérations Centre Est Europe, Sud-Est, Ile-de-France, Savoie Mont-Blanc, Midi-Atlantique, Normandie, Centre, Loire-Atlantique et Centre-Ouest, Dauphiné-Vivarais, Méditerranéen, Anjou, Antilles-Guyane, Massif-Central et Nord-Europe

 

So that sounds like "you must be our customer and a resident of one of these regions in France" :dunno_grin:

Yes, and they say as well that if you win an invitation they can ask you to prove that you are a client of the bank.

watch me open an account there if I win and this is the requirement. :naughty: In fact, this bank group owns a German bank, Targobank. :mf_rosetinted: Still wrong area, sigh. Anyway, I really think this should be open for fans of Mika in general, and not just the customers of a certain company. Besides, if you register on Riffx they have your address and the info whether you're a customer, so it'd be easy to make the participation in the game only possible for those who meet the requirements, don't get why they don't do that.

However, as this takes place in the Universal Music offices and Riffx has only 20 places to give away, maybe there's hope that there'll be more places available for any Mika fans in some other giveaway. Even at the Milan album prelistening in 2012 there were 30 people, and I think at the one in London it was even 50 or so (tho I'm not sure about that, I wasn't there - but it was in some cinema or theatre, so I think it was more people than in that small café in Milan).

The first time when the link has been posted (the one which didn't work after one hour) it was mentioned that Mika will be present at the event.

This time they don't mention it. So?????

I am checking on my laptop and it looks like the second part of this sentence has been hidden  - the part saying that Mika will be present :dunno: Or it's like black letters on the black background?

So I hope he will be there.

I just sent my plea to attend :crossed: and it says Mika will be there :thumb_yello:

My husband has an account at crédit mutuel with both our names. 

I would be so happy if it worked out :puppy_eyes:

Thank you for sharing that it was open again :flowers2: :hug: my dear sis Eriko :huglove:  @Kumazzz

  Seems a shame to limit entries to only Riffx customers and even then you have to live in a certain area, doesn't really seem fair to me.

 

  Hopefully it will be an awesome opportunity to hear the album and meet Mika though! Too much to ask for a listening party in the UK though?... probably, ah C'est La Vie!

Hope you get in!  :crossed: You might become one of the only MFCers to do so and be able to tell us all about the album before release day! :biggrin2:

 

 

 

Good luck to all who enter as well! :thumb_yello:

I think Mika will post about it soon.

OK so it looks like FNAC don't do international shipping :(

 

Which is a shame because I would love the white vinyl! Hoping it might get sold somewhere else in the future!

idk why but on this site https://shopuk.yomika.com/ the exclusive vinyl ep has not sold out yet. i bought one yesterday, hope it's real, not a bug 😂 and there is international shipping. (to everywhere around the world. unlike https://mika.store/ my country is not even on the list...)

Oh before I was referring to the exclusive white vinyl only being sold by FNAC at the moment. Hopefully I'll be getting that (thanks to a friend) and the blue one on December 1st! 😁

(It's definitely genuine so don't worry about your order!)

 

But yes, it's annoying that the French Mika store hasn't updated any new countries yet to their shipping destinations, I'm hoping that will change OR the merch to be added to the UK store instead (that would mean lower shipping fees for me! 😅).

This is the UK Mika shop, run by a UK team. The other shop is run by a French team.

 

So the vinyl you ordered from the UK shop is the blue-colored vinyl, but it is NOT signed. That's the difference, and why the blue vinyl in the French shop is sold out.

I don't understand why they need different online stores by country. Surely they just need one shop selling all merch?

It's never that simple :naughty: There is also a Belgium site online for the collector vinyl (unsigned) in case the other one runs out of them

皆様、

MIKAのニューアルバム、日本盤CDの発売が決定しました!!:yay:

 

すでに輸入盤や配信を予約されている方も多いとは思いますが、日本盤は、歌詞と対訳、そしてボーナストラックの収録が予定されてますので、購入の価値大だと思います!

 

以下、日本ユニバーサルのサイトから:

https://www.universal-music.co.jp/mika/news/2023-11-06/

 

キャリア初の全編フランス語アルバム『ク・タ・テート・フルリース・トゥジュール』(原題:Que ta tête fleurisse toujours)の日本盤が12月22日に発売決定

2023.11.06 TOPICS

 

MIKAが、12月1日にデジタル・リリースされるニュー・アルバム『ク・タ・テート・フルリース・トゥジュール』(原題:Que ta tête fleurisse toujours)の日本盤CDを12月22日に発売する事を発表した。今作はMIKAキャリア初の全編フランス語歌唱のアルバムとなる。11月3日(金)には先行配信曲となる「アポキャリプス・カリプソ」(原題:Apocalypse calypso)をリリース。
 

このアルバムは、MIKA独特の普遍的なポップさを保ちながら、彼自身の思い出や感情を表現し、リスナーに喜び、感動そして活力を与えてくれる内容となっていて、またMIKAの象徴的なメロディーとトップラインでフランス語の美しさを感じ取ることが出来る。これこそが私たちが愛する MIKA だと言える作品だろう。またこのアルバムは、アップビートで陽気な楽曲(「セ・ラ・ヴィ/C’est la Vie」、「ジェーン・バーキン/Jane Birkin」、「アポキャリプス・カリプソ/Apocalypse Calypso」…)から、ハートフルで深いエモーショナルなバラード(「トラント・スゴンド/30 secondes」、「パサジェ/Passager」、「モア、アンディ・エ・パリ/Moi Andy et Paris」…)まで、リスナーの感情に寄り添ってくれるような楽曲がそろっている。
 
MIKA は今作について「このアルバムの作曲とプロデュースに数ヶ月を費やし、フランスの若手音楽家との出会いやコラボレーションに時間を割いた事が、解放的な出来事であり、予想をはるかに超える結果を生み出した。”Que ta tête fleurisse toujours “は祈りであり、創造性への呼びかけである。」と語っている。

40 歳を迎え、 長い時を歩んだ MIKA が伝える、 苦楽の人生に花を添える方法をこのアルバムを通して感じて頂きたい。

輸入版は三つ折りのようですが、日本版はどうなんでしょうね...

 

TBWKTM の時は輸入版は紙製三つ折りでしたが、日本版はプラケースのみだったような… 記憶は曖昧です。

どちらにしても、全て持っているのですが。

 

韓国版がなにか特別な企画をしてくれるのを待っています。
