Trivia
In the story, since both main characters have the same first name, to differentiate one Nana to the other, Nana Osaki affectionately called Nana Komatsu "Hachi", because she thinks Nana Komatsu behaves like a dog, faithful but sometimes annoying. This is actually a play of word. The female name "Nana" is a homonym of the Japanese word "nana" that means "seven", and while "Hachi" is a common dog name in Japan, it is also a homonym of the word "hachi" that means "eight".

Goofs
When Nobu is playing his tape to Nana the first time, you can clearly hear a bass guitar in the song. This is not possible at that time since Ren left for Tokio long before that and Shin wasn't in the band yet.

Really enjoyed this film

As far as manga animations go Nana is a success and, despite my rule against sequels, I am going to watch Nana 2 next.

Two girls who could not be any different find companionship, friendship and enduring love. Differences are ignored and left by the roadside as the two come together and stand shoulder-to-shoulder. It is cool and fun. The music is handled well, as well as the emotional turbulence. The music is billed as punk, but is real just pop rock.

The girls are so cute and thin. It is great to see slim and healthy girls not being hated on by other girls. it is sad, but true. I guess Japan is a different story. Still, one has nice hair and the other one has a masculine short bob.

One last thing: if you rent an apartment on the seventh floor and there are no elevators you are clearly telling your parents 'do not visit.' lol
