“GAME,” which played in the commercial “STOLEN JEWEL” where Mika Nakashima herself portrayed a phantom thief.

It’s included on her 2010 album “STAR.” A pop track with an addictive rhythm.

It starts with a striking guitar intro, and the vocals powerfully express the song’s world of bewitching, assertive lyrics—so cool! It even feels like it would suit a nighttime walk.

I can’t help but feel that part of the lyrics echoes KATE’s brand concept, “NO MORE RULES.”
