Random Curiosity: AZU - Jikan yo Tomare feat. SEAMO PV (Itazura na Kiss ED2)

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 07:27:14 -0000

Watch and listen to it in higher quality here. While Itazura na Kiss isn't one of the series being covered on this site, I've been following it ever since it started airing back in April. Back then, I got a bit overambitious when I started blogging and tried to cover every series that I was watching and Omni wasn't. When I had eight series under my wing, I stopped myself though, which just so happened to be on a Friday---the day that Itazura na Kiss airs. So for those wondering, this is the reason why continued coverage of this series, BLASSREITER, and Kamen no Maid Guy never saw the light of day back in spring. In any case, being a romance comedy, I kind of figured Itazura na Kiss would be my kind of show back then and having Mizuki Nana starring in a series never hurts either. What surprised me though is that the series is relatively popular amongst current generation anime fans (which doesn't include me since I'm kind of old school), despite the 1990's style character designs. Anyway, I had to put this series on hold while I was on vacation in Japan and am still catching up when I can, but the second ending theme grew on almost instantly when I heard it. Now before people start jumping on my case that this isn't new anymore, I'll make it clear now that I'm already aware of that fact. However, I only came across this PV somewhat recently when I was looking for what had come out for the past summer season, so I thought I'd share my findings for those who don't actively look for anime-related PVs. More after the jump...

The Blue Fox Alley: NANA 6-10: Haha. Still Oddly Captivating

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 02:49:49 -0000

After a short detour that imparted us with knowledge of both the girls’ past, we are now back to present time. Nana Osaki decides to call her new found friend ‘Hachiko‘ based on the latter’s tendency to stick onto others. Basically these next few episodes warms up the engine as the girls begin their new [...]

j1m0ne's blog: Previewing Mizuki Nana’s DISCOTHEQUE…

Mon, 01 Sep 2008 07:22:58 -0000

I foresee a lot of people hating this! DISCOTHEQUE is like CUTIE HONEY & Cat’s Eye mashed with Morning Musume and that is going to kill all the fans who only got into Nana in her Elements Garden phase. Plus, she uses her cutesy high-pitched voice here, which is an er…acquired taste. Personally, I don’t [...]

Manga Maniac Cafe: NANA Vol 12 by Ai Yazawa Manga Review

Amazon.com Widgets Title: Nana Vol 12 Author: Ai Yazawa Publisher: Viz ISBN: 9781421518794 May Contain Spoilers Ugh! I’m starting to get scared about what’s going to happen next in NANA. This volume was down beat, but Ren’s substance abuse wasn’t touched on at all, and I think that’s going to be like [...]

Tondemo Nothing!: Insert sappy ‘Farewell-for-now’ post title here (with possibly witty allusions to trains)

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 09:26:20 -0000

What really went on in Allison & Lillia 13 (It’s more relevant to the post than I expected!) (In case you don’t get it, I’m Wil’s talking about Mizuki Nana seiyuu singer extraordinaire whose talents are often wasted on B-rate roles/anime, Allison’s seiyuu) This was about to become a long-assed petty post about why I’ve been slacking [...]

Hynavian World: NANA Live Action - Coincidences, Coincidences and More Coincidences

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 17:48:08 -0000

The Sojourner recommended NANA (Live Action and the anime) in one of his posts and I was psycho-ed into giving this series a try. Actually I have a friend of mine who’s a NANA fan and she has been recommending it to me for the past year or so but I didn’t bother to even [...]

j1m0ne's blog: Mizuki Nana 18th Single 「Trickster」

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 23:31:49 -0000

So there we have it, the ‘official’ title for Nana’s 18th single (released 1st October 2008). Trickster. Trickster… XD No, I can’t quite imagine what it’ll sound like. I keep thinking of Tricky and Artful Dodger (the garage group) when I see that title. Tracklist: 1. Trickster Lyrics: Mizuki Nana Composition & Arrangement: Agematsu Noriyasu (Elements Garden) 2. DISCOTHEQUE Lyrics: Sonoda [...]

The Blue Fox Alley: NANA 1-5: Oddly captivating

Sun, 17 Aug 2008 06:47:55 -0000

I should be the last man on Earth to start on NANA but that does not mean my love for it will lose to any other fan! NEVER! Awareness of NANA came by chance when after watching the live film adaptation a year ago. Although movies have their limits to fully bring out the details of [...]
