NANA : Live-Action Movie

Last week I managed to get my hand on NANA:Live-Action Movie. Fell in love with the music, especiall Yuna Ito's Endless Story. such a sweet song =P Here's it is:

Endless Story by
REIRA starring YUNA ITO



Lyrics:
ENDLESS STORY REIRA starring YUNA ITO
Lyrics: D.A.THOMAS
Music: D.A.THOMAS
Romaji & English translation by: cori
From the single, ENDLESS STORY

If you haven't changed your mind
soba ni ite hoshii yo Tonight

If you haven't changed your mind
I want you to be by my side Tonight

tsuyogaru koto ni tsukareta no
osanasugita no Everytime I think about you baby
ima nara ieru I miss you
It is hard to say I'm sorry

I was tired of acting strong
I was too young Everytime I think about you baby
Now I can tell you that I miss you
It is hard to say I'm sorry

Tatoeba dareka no tame ja naku anata no tame ni
utaitai kono uta wo
owaranai story tsudzuku kono kagayaki ni
Always tsutaetai zutto eien ni

For instance, I want to sing this song
not for someone else, but for you
The endless story continues into this radiance
I always want to tell you always, forever

Memories of our time together
kesanaide kono mama don't go away

Memories of our time together
don't disappear, they stay like this, they don't go away

atatakaku tokedashite tashikameru no
yasashisa no shizuku kono mune ni hirogatteku
setsunai hodo ni I'm missin' you
kasaneta te hanasanaide

Beginning to melt warmly & make certain,
the drops of kindness spread on my chest
I'm missin' you so much that I'm sad
Don't let go of my hand upon yours

Tatoeba kanau nara mou ichido anata no tame ni
utaitai kono uta wo
owaranai story taema nai itoshisa de
tell me why oshiete yo zutto eien ni

For instance, if the wish comes true,
I want to sing this song for you again
The endless story with an endless love
tell me why tell me always & forever

* repeat

Another song which I liked was also Mika Nakashima's Glamorous Sky which was written by La'rc en Ciel for the movie's main theme itself(duh, since it was sung by the main actress) This video's from one of her concerts and it's sung accompanied only with an acoustic guitar. nice twist to the original song.



Glamorous Sky by
Nana starring Mika Nakashima



DYKT: She's 160cm but weighs only 40kg?!?!! SHE'S SO FREAKING THIN!!! And it's so obvious in the movie. But then again that kinda fits the original manga character since she was drawn as someone who's anorexic-ly thin by the author Yazawa Ai =/


About the movie itself, I think it stuck really close to the original story line from the manga, which is great! I also thought that the characters were carefully selected and all of them look exactly like the manga characters that Yazawa sensei drew. A definite must-watch for all NANA or Yazawa Ai or Mika Nakashima's fans! (i know I'm several months out dated and that the movie was aired in Japan in September last year)

waa~ i didn't know there was another NANA fan in our class!
Yes, the live action movie is GREAT it follows the story really nicely and the casting is SUPERB and Takumi has never looked so good @_@ (though i'm a self-confessed RenNana n NobuNana fan)

GO NANA~~~~

check out the anime too. It follows EVEN MORE closely to the manga. like every word. every panel.
