She stands APART. Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
When I first heard Mika Nakashima on a TV network in November 2001 (which also marked her singing debut with 'Stars'), I was so ecstatic that I told myself: 'She's gonna be a big hit.' I bought this album shortly after it was released. After listening to it, I declared it to be the best album released in 2002.

And with good reason: where artists such as Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, Avril Lavigne, Shakira, and the like dominated all music charts, Mika dominated the Oricon 200 Album Chart with a musical style made up of sophisticated adult contemporary and jazz songs with a Latin bent. All that is shown here in a well done concoction of luxurious styles that equate her with ANY easy listening artist. The best examples of this can be found in the songs 'Will' (a VERY romantic and sad single), 'One Survive' (a sophisticated Latin pop song with jazzy beats), 'Crescent Moon' (same), 'Stars' (a sad ballad which came from her TV debut, 'Kizudarake no Love Song'), and the album's closer, 'A Miracle for You.' These songs - and Mika's vocals - show exactly why this album set the standard for what Mika would do later on, but 'Love' and 'Best' (both incredible albums) outsold it.

FINAL VERDICT: Well done debut from the then 19-year-old adult contemporary diva. Mika is the best adult contemporary female artist of all time. The rest, in reality, is history.

 Highly Enjoyable, Pure Vocals Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
This is Mika's very first album, and shows just how strong of a start she had. Even on her very first album, she has exceptional control of her voice, and is just able to let out some very beautiful melodies. I felt that this CD and Music were fairly similar in their styles, whereas Love presented sort of a step back into something a little funkier and a little less straight-up pop. Although there are no artists credited as being featured, there a coupel of tracks which feature some background rapping/singin by other performers, which I believe is unique as far as Mika's music goes. One thing that's pretty amazing about Mika is how her music can start off with one sound, and yet, as soon as she joins in, she makes it into her own sound. This definately shows through in this album, especially on songs like One Survive (which is a really fun song to listen to) and Crescent Moon, a track with a hint of a house beat weaving in and out of the background. Some of my favorites on this album were One Survive, Destiny's Lotus, True Eyes, and Crescent Moon. Mika's voice is just so amazing and I believe this album is the best one of hers if you jsut want the raw sound of her voice and not get distracted too much by the instrumentals or the "feel" of the music. You have to enjoy this album for Mika and Mika alone.

 The HOTTEST J-pop Singer In Japan Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Mika Nakashima is the best artist in Japan. Her CD's are incredible and the wording is outstanding. MY favorite songs so far are Helpless Rain, Destiney's Lotus, and Will. People who buy this and other CD's of Mika will not be sorry to spend thier money on such amazing music. Whenever I have a bad day, I am able to come home and listen to my favorite and most beautiful singer because Mika's music is enjoyable to listen to and the wording is not depressing. Mika is the HOTTEST Japanese artist alive!!!
