^ Thanks! I like how 'ooh' and 'Place of Love sound :D

Button that shirt up Nana! :roflmao

ROFL!!!!!!! THAT PIC IS HILARIOUS! LOL...sorry, but it looks a little too showy to me haha. Well thanx for the update as always :)

EDIT: Idk why that was so funny to me O.o...I guess it just caught me by surprise x________x
And grrrr those WMP things never work for me. It always says 'page cannot be displayed' when I click on them >.<;

Hey sorry for a double post but did you guys know someone uploaded the performance of 'JUNGLE DANCE' on Veoh?
Here it is:

http://www.veoh.com/videos/v7074687J...7724600&rank=5

Must say I'm pretty impressed :3

thanks for the veoh link! :D

Thanks :D I'll watch it when I get back from school.

"Place of Love" sounds like the best song on the single so I can't wait to hear it in full!!

Now that I listen to 'Ooh...' again from the preview...it sounds so much like an American song O_O; It's awesome <333

^ Wish I could hear the previews :(....Oh well I just have to wait a few more days for the actual single to be released. Yay!

^ Yeah, it'll be leaked soon so don't worry! :laugh

nana be on MUSIC FAIR - 5/17

2008/05/06『MUSIC FAIR』PUFFY×℃-ute×谷村奈南×レオナ・ルイス 収録
http://otogumi.fujitv.co.jp/lovekp/2...06music-f.html

^ Thanx for the info! Btw, wasn't Nana's single released today in Japan? I hope someone uploads it soon!

well, it took a long time for say good-bye to leak, so i hope this single leaks faster.

omgosh I know >.>; That single took forever, hopefully this one will be leaked faster :cry

And thanks for the news Lisa^^

^It took like 5 days to a week to be put up for download last time. But I'm keeping an eye out for it.

I'll keep an eye out for it too :yes

nana got #11 on the oricon chart!!! :D her highest ranking ever.

The single leaked @ Kyo's Music City.

The single is up for download in the download section guys :)

I didn't like Again very much when I first heard it, but I'm sooo addicted to JUNGLE DANCE right now! I'm downloading Say Good-bye to see what it's like ^_^

^ It's awesome! I hope you like it! And yaaaaay @ Nana's rising success! I must say I'm really impressed with the single. I LOVED 'Ooh...'!!!!

Ooh... is such a sexy song. Nana sounds GREAT singing it. I was actually surprised she took on an R&B song like it. Hopefully she'll do more in the future. The whole single as a whole was really good. I'm addicted now to Jungle Dance.

^ My thoughts exactly :yes

i liked say goodbye's b-sides alot better, but this single is good too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NjBhvAKs9c

80% of the performance focused on her boobs and the top view of her cleavage. I think they care more of her boobs then her singing or her face... -_-

^ I already posted that link a week or two ago.

:roflmao
That's what I thought!

I noticed this listening to JUNGLE DANCE~ is it just me, or does Nana's voice sound a lot like Skye Sweetnam? Maybe I'm delirious, but...

^ Could you possibly provide us with a sample? :)

Mm, I'm not sure if there's a particular song where I think it sounds more similar...
Anyway, here's a video with Skye Sweetnam:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=mJbpUQPqh8k

Like I said maybe I'm delirious... but when I was listening to JUNGLE DANCE, it randomly occured to me "Wow... there's something so western about her voice..." and couldn't figure out exaclty what it was. I think it sounds like Skye Sweetnam to me~ their voices have the same ammount of huskiness or something XD

^ Neh you're not delirious. I can hear a slight similarity in their voices. They both kind of have that husky kind of wild-like voice.

Wow...I just checked Wiki.theppn and 'JUNGLE DANCE' is doing much much better than 'Say Good-bye'. So far it has sold about 6,551 copies and has reached #15. Go Nana!!!

it must be the attraction to her chest that's suddenly giving her sales. :laugh

^ Awww I hope not :(
Even though I wouldn't be surprised lol xD!

WOW 6k??
It's still kinda low, but for Nana it's AWESOME! Say Good-bye sold like, 1k, right?

yay!! go Nana!

Yeah, at least her sales are starting to go up. That's a big improvement for her :yes
I can't wait for a debut album :love

^ Thanks for these :D

lmao, I'm surprised they didn't make Nana wear a two piece instead of a one piece during the pool part :laugh

I loved the performance by the way! She rolled her tongue during that part! xD

I love making ofs!

Yay thanx for these! Her belly ring is really pretty lol. The performance was so-so....a bit off-key but the vocals sounded correct. It's weird how that happens o.o;.

^ Thanx that was probably her best performance :D

JUNGLE DANCE studio live: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdrF8_MVVSo

^ Yay thanx for those! LOL I love how they focused on her boobs in the first link :P! lol

I'm curious, why did they wait till her second and third single to begin exploiting her endowments... Why didn't they start her off that way? If they're going to do it now, they might as well have done it from the start.

I liked Again, but I haven't particularly cared for either Say Good Bye or Jungle Dance...

^ Avex has a tendency to not promote their artists properly. Some get lots of promotion while other miss out.

You know what? To me it seemed like they didn't know how to start her off. It seemed like they were unsure on how she would fair. Either the Utada way or the Koda way :roflmao
But! They officially decided on the koda way :P


Thanks for these performances.
:laugh
In the MUSIC FAIR performance, the guy said she had a nice body xD
I liked her outfit though.Well, maybe just the skirt xD She always wears pretty skirts.

I just saw the Jungle Dance cover, I want to know if it's strange that my first thought was "I want to pop them"

^ :roflmao

Ew LOL :P

second week sales:

*20 **4,701 谷村奈南

Total: 11,252

^ Well they're adding up :)
That's great!

Not bad, I think for 2nd week sales. Well, at least for her xD Her previous singles were a bummer in sales.

^ Yeah hopefully these are signs of a breakthrough for Nana.

It's her boobs that are breaking through, not Nana

^ Poor Nana, but it's true xD

^ Sad :cry
But I still think it's strange to buy an artist's music just because you (not you literally but 'you' as in anyone in general) think they have a nice rack :grumpy...
LOL I mean I think Nana is beautiful but that's not what got me into her xD! I enjoy her music :).

Hi y'all!!!!
I've finished a review for JUNGLE DANCE!!
http://amaiwana.wordpress.com/2008/0...ce-3rd-single/

LOVE the B-sides!!!!

Does anyone knows where I can watch a live or PV if it exist of JEALOUS GIRL?
It's the only song I like by her and I've never seen any PVs or lives by Nana.
(I only saw her in pics,lol xD)

JEALOUS GIRL is a b-side, so that is why there are no live performances. it's not the main track of a single.

"ooh..." is the jam. <3

i hope she's making an album now, no more singles. and i will freak out if al the b-sides are their. coz that's, what, 3 singles, 3 songs on each... 9 tracks already. :tired

^ Oh jeez...now that you mention it that would suck :O...it says on Wikki.theppn that she's been working on a debut album but whether that's true or not :shrug...

^ Maybe she is, who knows. That would be great though, Expect a release sometime this December :P

I would love an album by the end of 08!!!!
More songs like "Ooh" and "Place of Love"

^ ..................She is amazing with R&B sounding tracks
:luv2 :luv2 :luv2 :luv2

Ahh, that's too bad :(

total sales of JUNGLE DANCE so far:

total: 18,677

That's pretty good for Nana.

^ Can't believe higher than Samii's x.x;

^ Whoa....already? That's pretty insane :dead2. But it's nice to hear...I was wondering when Nana-chan would finally be noticed for her awesome voice (even though I'm sure her chest played a part in it as well :rolleyes).

Yay for Nana's boobs Nana! She's finally selling a little better =D

I was surprised too. Like out of nowhere, sales picked up, which is good though!
Can't wait for her debut album cause I bet it will be awesome.

I can never stop laughing at this :roflmao

Well, it's true XD Japan loves boobs, and if there's one thing Nana has other than an awesome voice is a huge rack. It's no wonder she's slowly starting to sell better.

So sad if it's true.

you speak the sad, but true, truth. :yes oh how the world of entetainment is crazy, lol. but i still love nana's music, anyway.

I think it's good in a way. She'll start to gain fans, and then gradually they will begin to pay less attention to her chest and more to her voice.

Same here, I think her music is great! But she needs to make more R&B sounding material, her voice is amazing in them and I love R&B :D

Hmm yeah that is a good point. But as AyUta said, she should make more R&B music! Or another amazing ballad like 'Again' :luv2!

sales of JUNGLE DANCE:

5th week:

*39 *2,809 谷村奈南

total: 21,486

LOL AT YOU GUYS! i hope this doesn't mean she's going to RELY on her huge titties to sell though. i still want good music aswell :yes

Go Nana!!!! :cool Hopefully her sales will continue on like this and get progressively better!

Newest pic from her official blog+text:

Something about a baby and her body? I'm not quite sure.

^!? Is she pregnant!?

^ :roflmao
I kind of doubt that but that's what I was able to pick out from the text. Something about a baby and her body. Eh, we need someone who is able to read Japanese :headache

^Well, babies come out of women's bodies, so...

Maybe she's pregnant o_o... Or maybe she's complaining because her boobs are the size of babies?

^ I don't think Avex would let her get pregnant this early in her career. It would postpone a lot of things. Although...it IS a possibility... x_____x;

:roflmao
No need to complain there Nana >_>;

^ Wow...pregnant? Well if she really is then good luck with that Nana. And @ GRACE, you and your boob-harrassment LOL!

I can't speak Japanese so I can't translate...

But Nana did get #5 on the most fashionable Oricon Poll right below BoA

^ Oh awesome! Nana is very fashionable so she deserves it :yes!

She deserves it :yes
I can tell she is getting more and more noticed.

Yep yep, sales are picking up and she's getting more popularity.
It was kinda outta nowhere too so hopefully she'll be able to retain this popularity and it will help her sell albums!

Just to know...

01. Amuro Namie
02. Koda Kumi
03. Hamasaki Ayumi
04. BoA
05. Tanimura Nana

I'm not a boob man =P So naturally, the flaunting of boobs disturbs me.


Congrats for Nana on being stylish! ^^

^ LOL I was only joking :). I didn't mean any offense by that.

It doesn't surprise me that Namie got first in most stylish though <.<...I'm just glad that Nana is (as I've said already) getting some recognition for whatever reason lol.

^XP I know, I was explaining XD

Nana's up there with some BIG names on that list, so this may do something for her, at least a little bit. Maybe for the people who read this list anyway.

^ :yes My thoughts exactly. Very big names. I can't believe she is even passing up Samii, and Samii even got a way better start than Nana did.

Nana has the vocals to go places, I just hope that she manages to get there. Maybe once she's there she can cool it with the cleavage x_x

^ Yeah I kind of hope so too. I don't know if the Japanese are really big on the whole 'eye candy' thing, but I know it would get boring eventually (and of course I don't want Nana to be like that). As you said, she does have the vocals to go places, and that's why I could never understand why she wasn't selling. But anyways, let's just hope she doesn't end up like melody. where she does well in the beginning but starts to slip out of popularity as time goes on :/...Another thing I'm worried about is her debut album. Even though there hasn't been any official announcements for it yet, I'm kind of worried that it's gonna be another one of those 'single-cluttered' albums with barely any new songs :O...as Avex tends to do with their artists -___-...

Personally, I think the debut album isn't as big as the sophomore album. I believe the sophomore album sales determine the fate of the artist, so Nana's debut album isn't really a concern for me =/

Well the way I see it Nana's singles are w/ 2 B-sides and no B-side is really "above" another so to speak in terms of promotion so they are on equal footing. Provided that JUNGLE DANCE is the last single before the album, that would make 9 songs total possible to make the album, which is overkill even for avex I would think.
My guess is that they'll leave off the B-sides and maybe we'll get another single before the album.

Had they been 2-track singles, then maybe I could see em doing it but not 3. I can't really explain it but that's the way I see it :)
