PS: I took the liberty to create a new thread about Nana Mizuki because the last one is very old and a bit too long and not very updated ! I created a fan site about Nana Mizuki since several years now and I would be glad to share the news about her here even she is not very popular among AHS members =)

Damita · #2 6th March 2013, 09:17 AM

It is a travesty this is only her 2nd thread! It will make us feel a little better to see she is still very much liked outside of AHS (last.fm she's one of the all-time top J-pop artists in terms of plays)

relmy · #3 6th March 2013, 11:29 AM

Is any of her stuff in the downloads section? I might upload a few albums to generate interest.

Start with RokuNei and the two best collections?

mizuki-7 · #4 6th March 2013, 08:43 PM

No I don't think ! We can make a thread I can also upload some stuff =)

I made a thread here ! You can post and I will put it in the first post if you want ?

I am all eager to her that new collaboration song with T.M. REVOLUTION
Pretty hyped although i am just a casual listener of Nana (Syncrogazer was the song that sparked interest and that theme song for Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker)

I love nana mizuki!!
I just dont follow her I do ayumi... no idea why... lol

Damita · #8 8th March 2013, 02:51 PM

She has an endless amount of character songs too, some of which happen to be very fantastic (I found out about "Heaven in the Hell" recently). I see a lot on jpopsuki but it would be marvelous of we added those in as some fans of the gaming/anime series might recognize those.

mizuki-7 · #9 15th March 2013, 10:21 PM

i have too seat down and listen to her albums one day! I like a few songs, but never gave the albums a listen too.

relmy · #14 9th April 2013, 10:21 PM

^ start with her newest album, it's her most balanced album. I usually have a few songs I loathe on her albums, but aside from Happy Go Round, RokuNei is pretty solid! My personal fave is ULTIMATE DIAMOND though.

The close up promo shot is *adorable*. I'm not too fond of the covers, there's something awkward in the pose/expression. She looks so gooood in that outfit too, shame.

mizuki-7 · #15 11th April 2013, 03:57 PM

^She is too stiff imo lol

Nana Mizuki will be in Domoto Kyoudai at the end of month !

She will be also in charge of the ending of the final chapter of the animated movie Space Battleship Yamato 2199 out in theaters in August !

relmy · #16 11th April 2013, 09:36 PM

^ I agree, she looks uncomfortable. When she does a pose like that in a concert it looks sexy as anything, so I don't know why it doesn't work here.

I'm not fond of the Preserved Roses cover, Nana herself looks good, but eh... it's all a bit sterile, maybe? Nana's covers usually have a certain charm to them, some life. We'll blame it on TMR's people :p

Damita · #17 12th April 2013, 08:43 AM

T.M. Revolution's face reminds me of Steven Tyler there. Nana looks great though it's not my favorite look.

Nana will release new single!

It was announced during Smile Gang, Nana’s radio program, that she will be releasing her highly anticipated new single next July. The title song is curretly untitltled, but it will serve as the opening theme for the upcoming Senki Zesshou Symphogear G, the second season for Symphogear aired Winter season 2012. Nana also sang the previous theme song for the 1st season, Synchrogazer. She was also part of the cast as the voice for Tsubasa Kazanari and will continue that role in the 2nd season, too.

As the title song will be for Symphogear G, the earlier announced theme song for Space Battleship Yamato 2199‘s 7th movie will be one of the b-sides for the single. That song is also still untitled, but mostly likely to be announced soon. The single will have 3 songs in all, the 3rd being also untitled. The first press will come in a Special color case, as seen before, and the single will cost 1,200 Yen.

The single will be released July 31st and Symphogear G will air July 4th.
