Mika Nakashima “For Me” MUSIC VIDEO

Included on Mika Nakashima’s first self-produced album “I,” which was released on May 4, 2022.

The song we’re introducing here, “Boku ni wa,” was released digitally in advance of the album.

It’s crafted as a ballad that lets you fully savor Nakashima’s gentle, soulful vocals.

When singing this at karaoke, the most important point is, of course, how faithfully you can reproduce that voice and expressive delivery that really sinks into the heart.

The way you create contrast between the first half—centered on piano and vocals—and the singing after the backing track’s rhythm kicks in is also a part that will test the singer’s sensibility.

If you’re confident in your singing, this is a song you should definitely try.

Mika Nakashima – The Most Beautiful Me (2011 LIVE)

This is Mika Nakashima’s 32nd single.

It’s a track that also served as the theme song for KudoKan’s drama “Unubore Deka” (Conceited Detective).

Amazingly, it topped the USEN request chart for six consecutive weeks that year and even ranked first for the entire year.

Impressive, isn’t it?

When you think of Mika Nakashima, don’t you picture a mature vibe with a dark, mysterious edge? Her voice has incredible depth and that captivating husky quality.

But the song “Koi wo Suru” is quite different from that image—it’s a very girly track! She sings it in a higher key, so some people might be surprised and think, “Is this really Nakashima singing?” With its up-tempo feel and depiction of adult romance, I think it especially resonates with young women who are just starting to reach a little beyond their years.

Amid its wistful atmosphere, it carries a profound message that questions the meaning of life, resonating deeply with listeners.

Released in January 2013, the track is also known as the Japanese theme song for the film Resident Evil: Retribution.

Mika Nakashima herself appears in the movie, showcasing her talent not only as a singer but also as an actress.

It’s a recommended song for those standing at a crossroads in life who want to reaffirm their own strength.

homesickness

A song produced by Tetsuya Komuro appeared in January 2024 as an insert track in the film Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM.

Mika Nakashima’s vocals beautifully convey profound emotions and nuanced states of mind.

As the title suggests, the song explores feelings for a distant place and a longing to return home, touching on the deep emotions and memories embedded there.

By bringing together Mika Nakashima—returning to the Gundam franchise in a new form for the first time in about 20 years—and Tetsuya Komuro’s music, the work takes on a special significance.

Before you watch the film, why not give this song a listen? It will surely help you experience the film’s world more deeply.
