trying to find a way back home to you again
↪︎ or: in which taichi and mimi deal with the struggles of being far away from each other, wondering about each other, seeking each other and returning to each other. ( listen )
note: this fanmix is dedicated to @ex-machiina, my forever michi love, who had requested a fanmix about taichi and mimi on a roadtrip.
gradually i diverted from said theme (i’m so sorry about that) because after watching kizuna i was more inspired to turn it into an angsty semi-ldr as taichi would travel a lot for his diplomatic studies and mimi for her online retail to sample as much different products as possible. due to them travelling so much for their careers, it would complicate them trying to be together as they keep needing to separate ways after being together and as they are still unsure of what they feel and want, and even more unsure of what the other might feel and want. lastly to give it an extra international feel i added non-english songs to the playlist. i wrote down in which language the lyrics are.
cover-wise: yes, i recoloured mimi’s white shoes to match with her dress (taichi was better accessorized than her) and her stockings to remove them all together because that flashy pink colour is not pretty. but most importantly i love how the bg represents an airplane window.
extra: a big thank you to @aarreplaneetta for suggesting the song “the bones” and giving me a second breathe to finish this project (as i was about to give up; i have been working on this project since march...) and to @aeonsofgrace for listening to my ranting.
i have also decided to share this as an entry for the michi summer weekend @taichixmimi because i am rather proud of this fanmix and even though it’s not really an “an outdoor activity” in my eyes they are actively searching for each other outdoors. yeah, no shame.
CHAPTER I. WONDERING & WAITING
01. crozet ☍ are you there?
(instrumental)
02. maye ☍ tú
but every time i am with you
time stops and disappears
and you give me everything else
i want to be where you are
(spanish lyrics)
03. umi ☍ midnight blues
bloomy skies, sweet goodbyes
late at night I think of you
and i wonder: do you think about me too
(english lyrics)
04. bts ☍ crystal snow
the two of us are already far apart
even though we are meant to be together
i’ll wait for you no matter where
(japanese lyrics)
05. peyton ☍ it’s been so long
it’s been so long since i’ve seen ya
i’m sure we’ll meet again
(english lyrics)
CHAPTER II. SENSING & SEEKING
06. mree ☍ when you come home
the moment slows inside the palm of your hand
oh i could stay like this forever or as long as we can
and in the morning i pour a warm cup of tea
and hope you'll stay a little longer, stay a lifetime with me
when you come home I feel the earth start to change
i am alive, i am alive, there is a reason to stay
(english lyrics)
07. chanyeol feat. punch ☍ stay with me
my heart’s beating it goes
when i look at you so close
i’m finding it hard to breathe
even when you’re not around
oh you’re all i think about
oh what have you done to me
(korean lyrics)
08. yseult feat. ichon ☍ + mélange
it's just a matter of time
a matter of time
come on let's get mixed up
we share a moment
come on let's get mixed up
it's you who decides now
(french lyrics)
09. shura ☍ what’s it gonna be
do i tell you i love you or not?
cause i can't really guess what you want
i don't wanna give you up
i don't wanna make it look like it's no big deal
so what's it gonna be?
(english lyrics)
10. iu ☍ give you my heart
i pray that on blissful days
and weary days in life
i can stay by your side all the time
i pray that…
it won’t remain as mere memories
with you…
(korean lyrics)
CHAPTER III. REALISING & RETURNING
11. adrianne gonzalez feat. nilu ☍ found a home
where the weight lifts off my chest
where my feet have come to rest
i found a home in you
and you found one in me too
i think i've always known
in you i've found a home
(english lyrics)
12. honne feat. beka ☍ location unknown
i just need to work out some way of getting me to you
'cause i will never find love like ours out here
i don't want to be wasting time, without you
don't want to throw away my life, i need you
something tells me we'll be alright, yeah
(english lyrics)
13. kygo feat. haux ☍ only us
i want you to know, want you to say
it's only us, only us
i want you to know, don't be afraid
it's only us, only us
won't let you let me go
(english lyrics)
14. arsenal ☍ estupendo
i travel around the world
just to kiss you
through airport terminals
and neon lights, i sift through
one hundred thousand miles
of swift motion and devotion
no amount of distance can ever come between us
(english lyrics)
15. maren morris feat. hozier ☍ the bones
baby, i know any storm we're facing
will blow right over while we stay put
the house don't fall when the bones are good
call it dumb luck, but baby, you and i
can't even mess it up although we both try
no, it don't always go the way we planned it
but the wolves came and went and we're still standing
(english lyrics)
EPILOGUE
16. efterklang ☍ hold mine hænder
hold my hands
the fog disappears
everything changes
you see me, i see you
(danish lyrics)

the cotton candy haze mirrors the warmth of your gaze
↪︎ or: in which taichi and mimi are spending the summer together, having fun, and falling in love. ( listen )
NOTE: this playlist is dedicated to @aeonsofgrace as she inspired me to compile another one for the michi summer weekend over @taichixmimi.
this one (unlike the “location unknown” fanmix which is semi-angsty and more serious) contains songs with a fun summer vibe to create a story of how taichi and mimi spend the summer together, grow closer together and ultimately fall in love with each other.
lastly i wanted to keep the cover as simple as possible, just the two of them against a backdrop of the sun.
☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎
01. sarah kang feat. eyelovebrandon ☀︎ summer is for falling in love
and the cotton candy haze
mirrors the warmth of your gaze
raise your glass to mine
and as we drink, we would lock eyes
so we could disregard
the thought of ever having to part
for summer is for falling in love
02. forrest nolan ☀︎ summer vibe
and i know i said that we should hang out next week
but oh, since then i find it hard to get sleep
so if you don't mind that i'm asking how 'bout tonight?
because, baby you're my summer vibe
take your picture while we're bathing in the summer light
if you want it girl, i got it, two's enough to party
03. lenno & the bee’s knees feat. monogem ☀︎ better with you
we can take a ride, take a ride to the other side
only if I'm going with you
i just want your lovin'
'cause everything is better with you
04. fleurie ☀︎ sparks
sparks for the first time
your eyes as pure as the night sky
street signs and headlights
stick in my mind's eye
as i take in this moment
my ship is capsized
i am tongue-tied
and all i know is
baby, i'm in love with you
05. day6 ☀︎ 태양처럼 (like that sun)
bamsae gidaryeo nan
achim haega tteumyeon
neoreul boreo gal saenggage seolleeo ga
translation:
i’m waiting all night
for the morning sun to rise
my heart races at the thought of seeing you
06. bien ☀︎ electric dream
movin' in slow motion to the beat
can you feel the heat?
it's you and me we're alive in an electric dream
07. la belle vie ☀︎ nuit chaude
eux comme moi savent
que la nuit est chaude
si chaude qu'on s'en brûle les doigts
nos coeurs tambourinent
si fort que l'on entend que ça
translation:
they like me know
that the night is warm
so hot that you burn your fingers
our hearts are pounding
so loud that you can hear that
08. ariana grande ☀︎ into you
i'm so into you, i can barely breathe
and all i wanna do is to fall in deep
but close ain't close enough
'til we cross the line, yeah, yeah
09. ingrid michaelson ☀︎ young and in love
we'll turn it up
play the music loud so we can sing along
and teach me all the words to your favorite songs
we can make this moment last all summer long
10. alina baraz ☀︎ my whole life
sunsets, sunsets, never been so brave
when you, when you, look into my eyes
you gotta say it's true and i gotta say it too
i do
i can see my whole life when i'm with you

Celebrate the last weekend of the summer with Taichi and Mimi!
Mimi may have a list of possibilities ready and Taichi may only want to eat, but you can share a fanwork of your creation involving this beloved ship on a fun summer activity of your choice:
SATURDAY AUGUST 28: INDOOR ACTIVITY
f.e. go the movies, eat ice cream, go shopping, visit a museum, ...
SUNDAY AUGUST 29: OUTDOOR ACTIVITY
f.e. go to the beach, eat barbecue, go camping, picnic at a park, ...
Just be sure to use #michi summer weekend as one of the first five tags, so that I can gather all entries here or tag with @taichixmimi!
For more guidelines concerning this event, please check out this page. If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to ask. I’ll do my best to help you out.
