Real (Mika Nakashima album)
Real is a studio album by the Japanese singer Mika Nakashima. The album was first released in Japan on January 30, 2013 (for the Valentine's Day season), in Regular and Limited editions.[1]
The non-single track Kioku was used as the Casio Sheen commercial song.[2] Epilogue was the ending theme song for the TV program GRACE OF JAPAN ~Shizen no Naka no Kami~.[3]
This album debuted at number 1 in the Oricon weekly charts, and marked the first time in 4 years for the singer to top said chart for either a single or album since Voice (released in November 2008); it was also her first chart topping work in Japan after she made a comeback from the 6-month hiatus resulting from her patulous auditory tube disorder.
It has also been released in Taiwan and South Korea.
Some presses of the album come with a bookmark denoting the artist and album name on one side, and a picture of a flower with the words "Be Real...Be Mine" on the other side of the bookmark.
Tie-ins
Three of the four singles on this album are songs from motion pictures (an uncommon feature among studio albums).
