DVD Reviews of Nana
DVD Review: Ear Candy
Summary: 3 Stars
Nana opens with the band Blast, short for Black Stones, performing in the frigid confines of Northern Japan. Feeling that that the band has grown beyond its confines in Northern Japan, the guitarist Nobu suggests that the band is ready to head to Tokyo. However, although it seems that some members are ready for the move, they are not quite ready to go together.
A short time later, a bubbly, cute girl named Komatsu Nana boards a train on her way to Tokyo. On the train she meets Osaki Nana, the vocalist of Black Stones. While they have literally nothing in common with one another they share a long conversation albeit one in which Nana K. does all of the talking. The viewer learns that Nana K is going to Tokyo to be with her boyfriend Shoji while Nana O is striking out on her own as a musician. When Nana K meets her boyfriend and mutual friends at the station, the two Nanas part ways, but after Shoji makes it clear to Nana K that she is to find her own job and apartment, the two chance upon each other again when they both think about renting the same apartment. Eventually, the two decide to become roommates and an odd bond is struck up between the two girls: one is very dependent and outgoing while the other is fiercely independent and withdrawn, but they soon come to depend on each other while growing as people.
I am generally hesitant watching films that are based upon long, and especially ongoing, manga series because I feel that there is quite a chance that I will neither fully comprehend the film or that the filmic version will be extraordinarily watered down in comparison to the comic version. The characters of Nana K, Nana O, and Ren, Nana O's love interest, are decently fleshed out, although they seem to be a bit static at times stuck in a stiff image of their character types. Other characters are quite one dimensional but more due to the brevity of the film than that of the director, since, for the most part, the target audience would already be familiar with the story from their readings of the manga.
A decently fun film with catchy J-pop music, Nana would certainly appeal to those interested in the comic series or series of a similar scope. However, for others who are not quite familiar with the world of the film and who have little interest in Japanese pop music, the film might come off as nothing but a bag of clichés and tooth decaying sweetness.
