"There's a feeling that's missing"

- The second song "BABY BABY BABY" is a simple ballad with a standard-like atmosphere.
Lyrics were written by Nakashima herself.

Nakashima : One of my producer said "I want you to write about a big love".
But, since I really wanted to write the words "mita sarenai (it's not filled)", the theme changed to
"A one sided love"

- Are you satisfied?

Nakashima : I am, of course. "Now, I don't really want it" (lyrics) by its meaning, you can even feel it...
Feel alone. However, afterall, I used to collect many clothes to deal with my solitude.
It becomes a serious thing, among the house. You could live in my closet, really (laughs)
It's cute! I think I would like to buy even more, there is still an empty closet left.


- Everyone is the same I think. It's made to be bought, there are even people who buy cds but never listen to them.

Nakashima : Is there such a person, too?! Though I can't really say anything about that.

- Such satisfaction, do you think it's possible also in love?

Nakashima : Yes, I think. It could be with tears and painfulness though
and may not feel sastified in love, but some people think it is possible.
I do, but I also have doubts (laughs)

- Anyway, I think that's what is reflected in Mika's lyrics.
And the third track is the electro number "SPIRAL". And it is a very beautiful use of falsetto.

Nakashima : Thank you. I liked the falsetto a lot.
It was possible to record the song in only one take, the vibrato and falsetto.
Well, because everything is learned, I don't know if I sing well or not at the first time.

- I was also impressed by the lyrics about a spiral of love.

Nakashima : When you're in a bad spiral, waiting is the worst. I also have my own bad spiral sometimes.
The one you could even fight with a fork, like those old-time couples could.

- It's true, there's still a better break up than this though....
Mika thinks "it's useless", it's the same kind of competition in sport, don't you think?

Nakashima : No, I guess there is no such thing. Indeed, I think.
For example, someone says "That is strange, isn't it?". But right now, I can't say it.
You can ask to someone you trust stuffs like "I think I'm weird, don't you think?" I tell the truth,
or "My sense of humour is not amusing" but you can't really take an action over it even if you know it.
