來自Mika姊姊Paloma Penniman的信 Letter from Mika's sister, Paloma Penniman

各位親愛又了不起的Mika粉絲：

我想親自為去年10月至今，你們對我和家人的支持而道謝。你們給我的信、鮮花、禮物，還有給救傷隊的捐款，對我來說都是意義深重的，而且程度一定遠超你們所想；是想說他們對我的幫助，並令我的意志有所支撐，對我來說都是十分重要的。

我要很高興地告訴你們，我住院期間的康復情況十分理想。我現在接受的都是針對要我恢復走路的治療。雖然前面的路可能會很漫長，但我察覺到自己是多麼的幸運，實在不應該浪費這份福氣。

Paloma Penniman上


Dear Marvelous Mika Fans,

I would like to thank you personally for the tremendous support you have shown me and my family since last October. The letters, flowers and gifts you have sent, and your donations to the Ambulance Service mean more to me than you could ever imagine, to say they helped sustain our morale would be a significant understatement.

I am happy to say that, while still in hospital, I am recovering very well. Rehab is focused on getting me to walk again. Although the road ahead may be long, I recognize how lucky I have been, and I intend not to waste this good fortune.

With much love,
Paloma Penniman

Mika Blog - Japan Mika blog上慰問日本

I think the whole world was rocked at the news of the devastating Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on 11th March in Japan. It’s hard to believe that following more than 800 aftershocks and tsunamis, another quake hit a month later to the day. I can’t even imagine what everybody there is going through. I have been trying to decide how best to show my support since the first events – there are no words that seem adequate. But I want all my friends in Japan to know that I am thinking about them and sending them my love.

I have a lot of friends in Japan and thankfully all of them are safe, to my knowledge. It’s a very special place to me and it doesn’t seem real that something so awful could have happened to such a beautiful nation of people. I have so many happy memories of the time I have spent there. From my first showcase 5 years ago, I became so smitten with Japan that I set it my goal to build a fan base and be able to tour the country. We did our first proper tour last year, and we will be back even more on the next album. From performances with audience members, to amazing (and eccentric!) fans and duets with Hikaru Utada, there were so many reasons why my small tour in Japan was the highlight of last year.

It was an honour to meet so many of my wonderful fans and I pray that everything is well with them and their families. They have always been so kind and loyal to me, given me so much support over the years – now it’s our turn to help them. As a gesture, I have made a donation to the British Red Cross Japan Appeal. This is a private donation from me to them. To show our support to our friends in Japan, I hope you will all show your support in any small way you can too by clicking here.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Japan and I look forward to coming back to see you soon.

MIKA x
