kakumei your amazing, thanks for sharing.

I was expecting the straw doll to be...not lame. But alas it is. Oh well, I'm still buying.

LOL that thing reminds me of patrick from spongebob :laugh

^

It reminds me of a voodoo doll.

fan-net lists a new album for March 11th. :D

I don't remember the straw dolls being pink in Hell Girl....

nana's new album is called "Bondage".

cover/tracklist

tsukihana debuts at #22 today! that's pretty good for nana.

Wow!#22 is a great position for her!

Oh and I can't wait for the album.Looks like Lamia is on it :)

I think "Butterfly" would make a better album title than "Bondage". ^^

It is really great to see that she is the 22 in the charts.Hope that she can hold that position or go a a few positions up.

The reason why I don't listen much to her songs is because of her way of singing. But, I love her song kesenai something. I forgot the name. I'll definitely try out her album when it's released and will hear her new single :D

^lol,well her singing kinda bothered me too,but I kinda just get used to it since I love lots of her songs.You should try out SUICIDES LOVE STORY and Lamia,those are my favorites :)

And the song you are talking about is Kesenai Tsumi.

yesterday, nana was still at #22 and today she's down to #29.

She is so cute on the pic!!

I noticed there was a spider on the second pic, LOL. XD

there is an arm too, no? Oo

New Pics:

is that blood? :o

other than that she looks really pretty :)

It looks a lot like blood, but I'm thinking it's just the design of the dress. :)

WOW what a dress! she looks gorgeous.

BAD HEALTH?! OMG I hope she gets better.

are you serious?! first ayaka and now nana :( 2009 is such a bad year for jpop right now.

omg all that blood!! :thud


Bad health? What is she? Not a thyroid problem I hope?

OMG This thread is so dead
Let's go back to share some Nana love guys

It's because she's in hiatus because of her bad health

I love some singles like Kibou no Karera, tsukihana, Kesenai Tsumi, KISS or KISS, Kanashimi no Kizu and PUNK&BABYs
Why the low sales with this amazing girl?

Shes in a new band right now?
Loveless or something.
HAS ANYONE SEEN HER WRIST IMPLANT PEIRCINGS?
they're crazy ...but really good at the same time

Do you have a pic? I want to see them =o

Yupp..just gotta upload em to photobucket
they're from her staff diary and the last two are from onestep photography at a gig she did in december?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ana/764-01.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ana/762-03.jpg

^OMG, auch!!!!!!!!

It almost looks infected x_X..but I like it at the same time. Her image is so cool.

Ouch.. It look hurts @_@

So..is there any new news of nana?
about the band loveless shes in?
any new singles..hmm

I want her to release new songs >_<

me too, but where is she?

Yeah i want her to take out something new but her style is getting way toooo dark :D i loved her 18-eighteen-style I know she growed up but oh well.OUCH! those piercings look like they really hurt. Last i heard of her was that she was dropped from sony due to "health" reasons and i know that she has been doing gigs with her band loveless but that it still hasnt been picked up by a record label. This thread is dead. :)

wow love the new look and that piecing look painfull
NANA release some songs! us fan are dying to listen :) :yes

Hmm its weird, ever since she dropped her label ..or they dropped her? Not sure which way.
But since shes been in the loveless band..no new material has come out into the media as such?

Probably they dropped her, because her sales are low

YUP thats the ACTUAL reason Sony dropped her and just decided to put it as "health" problems thing. She probably wont take any new material out with loveless until an actual record company picks the band up and signs them.

Aww I hope some companies will having interest in them, I missed Nana :(

YEAH i love nana kitade hopefully a company signs them i mean she is still popular with the lolitas. they should take that into account.

Loveless has a new song called 愛 欲 FREE (Ai Yoku FREE). There's a preview on their MySpace :)

I'm not able to hear it - it harm my ears :tired

Wooww, that promo pic is cool but the song is so crazy, i can't believe it

LOL :P
I really miss the old nana and I want her back, but ever since she started getting into the lolita scene her music has been getting darker and darker IMO.
I couldnt stand the song clip and that promo pic is intense, but oh well thats the way she wanted her career to head to so be it :P

Nice promo, I like it... but song %) what's up with her beautiful voice?? >_<

im so excited for the ep, but tried to find her singles for the ep but i cant find them anywhere

Wow, I really liked that! Also can't wait or the EP!! And can't find the singles as well... :(
What I also like, Nana isn't the only girl in the band, finally a band with another female member despite the vocalist. :)

I'm not sure if i like this

So it seems like its been 7 years, but at a live she on 9/19 she released a solo single titled "Bad Babe's Dreamer / Isolation"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfmzQjEH93s

It would be great to have a full album again! I miss her.

I'm just now getting around to listening to VIOLET BLAZE and I have to say I really love it! It's so different from her previous material but she's still managed to work her signature style in there...I'm really impressed. :yes

Agree, her new album is just amazing. I really like her new style.

Oh I didn't notice there was a new album! And I waited so long. ;_;
But I'm a litte afraid reading it's a new style for her... well I'll judge after I listened to it.

You two are right, this album really is amazing! I'm listening to it now since two weeks almost every day. I love how the arrangements are more simple and not too overloaded.
I especially like Saddest Song, One Night Story, Boworred Time, Nasty Radio and the Violet Blaze instrumental.

So, I just realised that Isolation, the other song on Nana's comeback single, isn't on the album or iTunes or Spotify. I found it on YouTube and it's another beautiful song. :heart



I also stumbled across other interesting things: first off, an English interview about the album, I didn't expect I'd see one! Secondly, a 20-minute documentary about the making and promotion of VIOLET BLAZE! I can't understand a lot of it, but I think it's a cool find nonetheless.

Right now I'm on spotify and just saw that Nana has released a new single there called "想い". There are two songs on this single, 想い ( a ballad) and The End of Darkness ( a rock song).

And I found a live performance from back in 2010 where she already sang this song

Thanks for sharing that, I didn't know Omoi was finally available on Spotify! It was originally released at her 15th anniversary live on October 28th but it wasn't uploaded for a while afterwards, I think (I didn't think it was going to be on Spotify at all after a while). Omoi was actually an unreleased song originally written in the mid-2000s, as Nana shared when they announced this single release, so that's why she's already performed it live before. :) (I also learned today that the writer of both songs, Susumu Nishikawa, has worked with her several times in the past, including for her debut single!)

I like Omoi, it's a solid rock ballad, the song is beautiful and Nana sounds great! The End of Darkness is nice too, but nothing too memorable.

Thanks for sharing this news. Omoi is very atmospheric and wonderful at the beginning. The chorus part reminds me a lot the ballad rocks made in the last decade. It could have been used as the theme song of Nana (anime)

New mini-album release coming soon! "New Dawn", recorded with her current touring band new dawn, will be released on May 8th through her official site only (pre-orders starting on April 25th, international orders accepted). CD only and CD+DVD versions available. The songs are described as being influenced by alternative rock, post-punk, shoegaze, etc.

The sound of the album will be more rockish again with an alternative/band sound. All lyrics are written by Nana and the song "Key" is also written by her.

I loved Violet Blaze and was hoping she would make an album like that again, but I'm still looking very much forward to this! <3 Especially since I also really liked the sound of The Teenaged Kissers.

^ Lmao, what are the odds :laugh

I also really loved VIOLET BLAZE and wouldn't have minded more material in that style. But I'm still very much looking forward to this release, good on her for chasing her muse!

I should really check out more of her back catalogue, I'm not very familiar with her early work...

^I listened to Nana a lot during my teens and there are a lot of her early songs I love. But I always found the stuff she made after "Kitade Nana" way more exciting. If you haven't listened to it yet, listen to her mini "PERFECTLY DIRTY" which she made as "THE TEENAGE KISSERS". It's so indie rock and grunge style, I love it. Her vocals are also so so so good and so fitting. God, I just love "PERFECTLY DIRTY". If the new mini is anyting like that, it will be perfect.

I think before her solo comeback I've only listened to her first album, once, ten years ago. :laugh PERFECTLY DIRTY sounds intriguing, I'll try to look it up, thanks for the recommendation!
