Hioki, Japan (2001 – present)
中島美嘉 (Mika Nakashima), born on February 19, 1983 in Hioki, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, is a popular Japanese singer.
Nakashima had dreamed of becoming a singer since she was a child. She decided not to attend high school or college, and pursued her dream in a musical career. She was chosen out of three thousand girls as the heroine of the 2001 fall season drama, 傷だらけのラブソング (Kizudarake no Love Song, Scarred Love Song) from Fuji TV Station. In November, she made her sensational debut under Sony Music Associated Records with the song STARS, which was also the theme song of the drama. STARS is Nakashima’s best-selling single to date, with sales nearing 470 000 copies since its release in November of 2001.
Her second single,CRESCENT MOON, was limited to only 100 000 copies. Amazingly, it sold out on the first day of its release.
In March of 2002, she released her third single ONE SURVIVE and her first video compilation DVD, FILM LOTUS. In May her fourth single Helpless Rain. In August her fifth single,WILL, was released, tying up sales of over 200 000 copies. She released her first album, TRUE, in August of 2002. TRUE peaked at #1 on the Oricon 200 Album Chart in Japan, and has sold 1,174,000 copies since its release.
In 2003, she released five singles, 愛してる (Aishiteru, I Love You),Love Addict, 接吻 (Seppun, Kiss), FIND THE WAY and 雪の華 (Yuki no Hana, Flowers of Snow), a mini-album, RESISTANCE, and a full-length album, LOVE. LOVE went on to sell over 1.5 million copies, surpassing the sales of her debut.

@kumonoito - aww I wish I'd seen it then. i was so gutted because it was my only chance to see her and it really.. was bad. I've finally come to terms with it and can say it now haha, was slightly in denial before and couldn't talk about it. I haven't seen the concert footage but if it's worse than the concert i saw then :/... I guess it might have helped that I was further away and not totally sucked into the atmosphere that I could listen properly but it was really out of tune. People around were confused when it started. And I'm saying this as a Mika fan, I LOVE her but I'm not one to white lie to back her up just because I like her (people may dislike me for this but I think I have to be honest sometimes)... and I was disappointed and I won't twist my memory of the live as is so tempting to. Just gutted that I see her that ONE chance in my life and it was all over the place. /Saw Superfly a while later and that helped me get over it though.. it was amazing./not a superfly troll

@scam101: I was also there on July 10th, much better than the concert footage we got, but the second time I went it was truly flawless! I also noticed (I was very very close) she now uses some kind of screen system to help her hit the notes as her illness provides her from hitting them so easily. Anyways, can't wait for the DVD! and a new single ♥
