Back a decade ago, there was some buzz about this manga-turned-movie which featured a couple of very different women with the same name of Nana. The two main characters were played by actress Aoi Miyazaki(宮崎あおい)and singer Mika Nakashima(中島美嘉), and although the story was about how these two met and grew to become good friends despite their differences, I couldn't help but feel that there was a bit of Prince's 'Purple Rain'. I think the reason was that Nakashima's Nana Osaki(大崎ナナ)was aiming to become a singer and I'd assumed (never saw the movie so I`m probably wrong) that there was a competition of sorts on the stage between her and one other artist. Anyways, Reira was played by American singer-songwriter Yuna Ito(伊藤由奈)who was born in Los Angeles but was raised in Hawaii. And along with Nakashima's big hit 'Glamorous Sky', Ito hit it big as well with 'Endless Story' which was also performed in the movie. In fact, I remember 'Endless Story' much better than I do 'Glamorous Sky' since I was more attracted to the pop ballad. There was something very 80s about it, and once I admitted that to myself, it didn't take long for me to purchase my own copy.
