In 2007, Mikura returned to the music scene again. As the twins are both adult now, they changed the group name to Mana Kana (茉奈 佳奈 - written in Kanji) and re-debuted with the single Nigatsu no Watayuki. But it is not until their first cover album Futari no Uta in 2009 for Mana Kana to gain more attentions. The album reached #30 on the Oricon weekly charts and has a long chart-life. Their next single, Inochi no Uta released one month later also became their first release to enter the top 20 of Oricon. Following the success of Futari no Uta, Mana Kana released their second cover album Futari no Uta 2 on August 12th, 2009.
The third cover album was released on March 31st 2010 entitled Futari Uta 3.

Fragile
茉奈佳奈 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
クダラナイ ことがきっかけで
傷つけて しまうよね
途切れてく 会話虚しいよ
言葉が 不器用すぎて
邪魔ばかりする
好きなのに 伝わらない
こんな想い 切なくて
「愛しい」だなんて
言い慣れてないケド
今なら 言えるよ 君のために
となりで 笑って
いてくれるのならば
これ以上 他に何も要らないよ
出逢えた ことから
全ては始まった
傷つけ あう日も あるけれども
「いっしょにいたい」と
そう思えることが
まだ知らない明日へと
つながってゆくよ
精一杯 背伸びして
平然を 装って いたけど
余裕など ないくせに
また笑顔 つくってしまった
会えない 夜はきまって
淋しさおそう
好きだから 不安になる
こんな想い 悲しくて
「守って あげる」と
あの時言ったこと
ためらう 気持ちも 嘘じゃないよ
それでも 信じて
ゆこうとする想い
コワレテしまわぬように
抱きしめていたい
こんなに こんなに
君を好きになって
本当に 本当に ウレシイから
たとえば この先
くじけてしまっても
にぎりしめたその手をもう離さない
出逢えた ことから 全ては始まった
傷つけ あう日も あるけれども
「いっしょに いたい」と
そう思えることが
まだ知らない明日へと
つながってゆくよ
