ナナ NANA

Plot:
Yazawa Ai's extremely popular manga comes to life in Nana, the exciting new film starring popular singer Nakashima Mika and Miyazaki Aoi! Released in 2005 Nana tells the story of two twenty-year-old women with the same name, but drastically different personalities.





First up, there's Osaki Nana (Nakashima Mika), a calm, cool, and collected punk rock singer who struts into Tokyo's underground punk scene looking to hit the big time. While Nana's got some ex-boyfriend issues that she's eager to put behind her, she won't allow that personal drama to interfere with her big dream. In fact, Nana's not going to stop until she's conquered Japan as the nation's top rock star! The other "Nana" of the title is Komatsu Nana (TV actress Miyazaki Aoi), who is alternatively called Hachi. Cute and cheerful, Hachi led a somewhat sheltered life and has a bad habit of falling in love too quickly. She had some relationship problems in the past, but when she falls for her high school pal Junko, she decides to follow him to Tokyo when he gets admitted to an art design school. By moving to the big city, she hopes to find love and happiness in this new locale.




By pure chance, Nana and Hachi end up meeting on a train, and thanks to a chain of coincidences involving the number seven, the two of them end up sharing the same apartment. Its number? 707! So even with all the twists of fate in their favor, can these two very different people live under the same roof and get along? And will they eventually find the happiness they've dreamed for so long? The answers are revealed in Nana, director Kentarou Ootani's winning film adaptation of the popular girl's comic!~http://silentregrets.com



My thoughts:
I wasn't sure what to expect when I started to watch this movie.

At first I didnt think I was going to like this movie, however as the movie progressed I started to like it more and more.

I think the fact that we get to know each character better is the reason for this.




I must say I am quite envious of ナナ NANA for having one another.




I would have liked to have seen more of the band, as I thought they were quite cool.




Regarding Matsuyama Kenichi's character I thought his hair was odd, but then when you see him perfoming on stage he looks cool.

I also liked the character of Nobu played by Narimiya Hiroki, he seems fun. Also Narimiya Hiroki looked really cool and in to it when he was performing with the band.

All in all the band looked really cool, and their music was/is good.




I enjoyed this movie.
