Japaneese songs (I)

どうも、こんにちは、友人たち (hello, friends)

We came today with a special gift for you, our student Laura is a great singer, and keen on Japaneese series, manga and anime, here you can enjoy a song performed by her. And this is the text she has prepared for it:

This song belongs to the OST of the series NANA, by Ai Yazawa. The original version is performed by Anna Tsuchiya.

NANA tells the story of two girls who meet in a train on their way to Tokio and, united by the coincidence of sharing the same name, Nana, and being both 20, they end up living together in an apartment. Nana Komatsu is a dreamy, absent-minded and rather gullible girl, who comes to Tokio on the chase of her university boyfriend, while Nana Oosaki is searching for the fame as a punk singer she couldn't get in her former village, and also for her lost love, the ex-guitarist from her band, Ren Honjo.

This is a Shojo manga and anime, worldwide known, that shows serious sitations, with a plot in which every decision that the characters make brings out consequences that cannot be undone, and which they'll have to learn to live with and keep going on. This deserved the award of Best Manga Published in Spain, but regretfully, the series was left unfinished when the artist announced her retreat from the mangaka world about two years ago. Even so, there are fans who are still waiting for her return in order to know the end of this very moving story.
