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!
