That's fantastic news! I can't wait to listen to it!!!!!!!!!

Who the freak is Anna?

^Um, she's a model and actress. She's Japanese/Russian and starred in the Kamikaze girls movie that came out last year sometime.

Eh. I hope the songs are decent. I don't know if I'd be watching the anime, because it'd kind of ruin how I see the manga it's self :| i'd rather leave the music they do up to imagination.

I read on some LJ that Olivia is also half-Japanese.. interesting :yes Anyone got a pic of her?

This is a pic of Anna:

Eh well Oliva will be coming back with gusto then if it's NANA. We've seen how well NANA releases did sell.

Anna was both hilarious and badass in Kamikaze Girls, and looking forward to new material by OLIVIA.

Here's Anna's official site:

I think Anna wouldn't make a bad Nana at all. She did the role of Ichigo very well in Kamikaze Girls, plus they're both musicians with an edge, so I think there shouldn't be any problems there.

It's kind of hard to characterise Reira though, since we still have no idea exactly what kind of music Trapnest does.

I'm interested in seeing this anime, since I love the manga, but I am also very interested in hearding the music!

interesting info :)

I loved Anna in Shimotsuma Monogatari/Kamikaze girls, but I didnt know she was a singer as well ^^;

She was in a band called Spin Aqua for a while.

Olivia is really cool. She trys a lot of new things [even though her albums are really really spread out].

I know someone posted a pic of Olivia, but she's really pretty and I enjoy her a lot. This one is more recent, during one of her concerts.

Ah, cool! I like both of them, so I can't wait until singles come out for those songs. I'll definitely be buying them.

That Anna looks amazingly beautiful! :thud

Her remix album sounds really good too. Slightly "suggestive" titles though. :P Her music sounds quite good, but it's hard to judge from the clips.

When I got aware about that news I couldn't belive it! My favourit japanese singer is back to sing a song for my favorite manga, it was too big to be true! But now i'm waiting almost patiently... lol
When they say that her single will be released soon, I hope it won't be too long to wait! So now I'm counting the days... lol

Slap that naughty body? LOL .. If I don't recall, it's a song for an anime :P All of the songs she's released are in ENGLISH.. lol. More info about her, she's married to a half Japanese model guy named Joshua and they have one son (they're both really young o_o)

Olivia is PRETTY! :D Does anyone have any songs of hers they can upload in the dl section? I'd like to hear some of her stuff so I can get a feel of her music:)

OLIVIA releasing something? Nearly scandalous!

I think she'll fit perfectly into the NANA setting. Don't know much about Anna, other than she's really pretty. :yes

The BLACK STONES song is called "rose" It's the opening theme, according to the sanspo page.

Thanks for the news. Funny that the singers who did the movie aren't doing the anime as well..

I can do that. I have Both her albums [one is in all english].
