Mika Nakashima 中島美嘉

Music is indeed universal. That's the reason why I love music, regardless of the language. I once said after posting a Japanese music video: " My mind can't understand a word that's being said, but obviously my heart does."


Mika Nakashima is one of my favorite j-pop artist. I actually came to know her not because of her music first but because of her role in a movie that I saw: Nana. I loved that movie, and I loved the song Glamorous Days. So I got to know her as an actress before a singer. Getting to know her as a singer, i was.simply.blown.away. Again, i can understand just a few words here and there but when i listen to her songs, my heart is, i don't know, seems like it's feeling all the emotions the song is meant to convey. I feel sad. I feel in love. I can feel a deep melancholy, a longing. Thanks to this songs, my life may not be a roller coaster ride, but it allows me to experience emotions i'd otherwise only feel every now and then, feelings that are few and far between.
