113 min.

The eponymous dual heroines are 20-year old NANA Osaki and Nana Komatsu. Strong and independent, NANA comes from a dysfunctional background and is the vocalist of a punk band looking to find a major record deal. On the other hand, naive and sweet-natured Nana has been blessed with a stable family environment and the most pressing issue in her life is her boyfriend! Fate brings these two very different girls together and the film traces their fortunes as they navigate the trials and tribulations of love and the difficulties facing young women in the bustling and often intimidating metropolis of Tokyo.

The film “NANA” opened in 2005 boosted by the tremendous popularity of manga, and grossed a mind-boggling over US$40M in ticket sales. The previous story followed the lives of NANA and Nana up to the point where they begin living together. This sequel dramatically portrays their lives together (we watch them as they mature). As NANA’s band, The Blackstones, debuts and Nana gets married, the two continue to follow their dreams, but find that having your dreams come true and finding happiness don’t always go hand in hand.

It was a life-altering encounter. High school sophomore, Mei Tsukamoto, on visiting her mother in the hospital meets two teens her same age, one a wheelchair-confined Kirara Miyamoto and another interesting young man. The very next day, he shows up in her class as a new transfer student by the name of Beat Mizorogi, and nothing will ever be the same. Beat, hailing from a tailor’s family with an abiding love for fashion design, sets about transforming the school from the outside in. The excitement and creativity of Beat’s designs brings the class together and prompts them to launch a fashion show as a new tradition at their annual school festival. But the runway ahead is fraught with snags. Can they pull together to save their show and school? And what will Beat’s ultimate legacy and impact be on everyone’s lives?
