Ruth Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Thanks for writing so much about it Blue Sky. I do so understand the disappointment at not meeting him (I didn't in Leeds) but you saw him and that's great. I worry that as he gets bigger the meeting might tail off......

kjoshi Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Mika did two secret shows only for music business people. 23th in Osaka and 25th in Tokyo. He is singing an ironical song for music bussiness, he was too nice for those people. I was not invited, just found leaked info that he will do something today(25th). didn't know the time and place, I walked around city to find the place in the rain... I did!! I found a place decorated with a lot of Mika balloon both inside and outside. a clerk guy told me that I can see the show in the screen in the cafe area if you dont have a invitation. I was enough happy with it, but fortunately, a wonderful kind tour crew guy let me in the show!! The Audience was terrible ever. Maybe they just have listened to a couple of songs. most of the guy was wearing black suit and very very quiet. when he sang, "Walk Out The Door!:mad:" I thought he really mean it. still Mika did his best, did very well to entertain everyone. he looked having fun to play. Relax Big Girl My Interpretation Billy Brown Stuck In The Middle Love Today Sweet Dreams Grace Kelly +++++ Lollipop I could see in the first row coz people didn't try to go forward. maybe I was the only one sang along and danced hard and jumped with him, Mika looked me in the eye and sang for a while. It was a happy moment... and I could see him after the show. he was such a sweet boy. he said "wish everybody dance like you next time". I was very sad in the morning coz I knew it's 99% impossible to see him, but ended up as a most happy day. Lucky me indeed. Oh my gosh!!!!! You are very lucky indeed! That's amazing!

Blue Sky Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 Hi Gatagordinha Can I answer this myself? The link is here http://www.vmaj2007.com/news/2007/05/post_6.html and scroll down a bit. Deek posted the photo alone (on a different thread) while I was still at the show!! So MTV was uploading throughout the evening! They are slowly adding more and more to their site, so within another day or so we might have more Mika footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatagordinha Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I see you!! Thanks. Like the pink streaks! Hope you've got over the disappointment (though that after-show thing sounded strange, no wonder Mika didn't want to hang around). Well done for publicising the fanclub though!!

Blue Sky Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 Finally we have a clip of the LIVE show in japan. I need Sou or Babs to get it onto youtube!! http://www.vmaj2007.com/top.html and see the scroll thing on the right, go down to LIVE: MIKA Grace Kelly written in English. You can hear how breathless and gaspy he was because of the size of the stage and all his running round. Actually on the night you didn't notice it as much as on the clip. Maybe because I was too busy dancing like an idiot over in the boring sponsor tickets section. The lollipop girls are kind of annoying. But the insanity at the very end was good, pity they cut at the "Humphrey..." and they missed the KERCHING-AH! Anyway, ENJOY!! PS If you like My Chemical Romance, leave the clips running for two more, and you can see them too. Ne-yo is the one after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
