After "Nana," boosted by the huge fan base of the eponymous manga by Ai Yazawa, became one the biggest hits of 2005, TBS scrambled to cast the sequel -- and learned that Miyazaki and costars Ryuhei Matsuda, who played Nakashima's guitarist boyfriend Ren, and Kenichi Matsuyama, who played Nakashima's blonde band mate Shin, had scheduling conflicts. The network found Yui Ichikawa ("Siren," "Rough") to replace Miyazaki, Nobuo Kyo ("Aoi Haru") to step into Matsuda's shoes and Kanata Hongo ("Tennis no Ojisama") to take over from Matsuyama.
For this two-time visitor to Nana World, who enjoyed the first film for its energy, both dramatic and musical, and its rare (for a mainstream Japanese movie) sympathetic portrayal of female friendship, the second time around feels more like a reprise of familiar tropes, mixed with an often-told story of growing up and moving on. Think of it as an extended farewell to youth -- and the "Nana" films. This time, over means over.
At the start of "Nana 2," the two Nanas are still living in their funky old apartment, number 707 ("Nana Zero Nana" in Japanese). Together they celebrate the Tanabata Festival on July 7, with Nana Komatsu (the cutie, nicknamed "Hachi") wishing for a boyfriend and Nana Osaki (the rocker) wishing that Hachi gets her wish.
Soon after, with Nana's encouragement, Hachi hooks up with Takumi (Tetsuji Tamayama), the long-haired leader of Trapnest, the successful J-pop band that Ren plays in -- and that Hachi has long been a fan of. Slick, sophisticated and looking like the cover boy of a bodice-ripper novel, Takumi would seem to be far out of Hachi's league -- and acts it, treating poor Hachi like the latest in a long line of disposable women (while the real love of his life remains the man in the mirror).
Meanwhile, Nobu (Hiroki Narimiya), the loud-mouthed but good-hearted guitarist of Nana's struggling punk band Black Stones, falls hard for Hachi -- but she is already in Takumi's thrall and feeling lousy about it. Instead of opening her heart to Nana, her one real friend, Hachi shuts herself off, too embarrassed and conflicted to properly confess.
Nana is undergoing changes of her own -- her band is finally on its way up and her on/off relationship with Ren is in an off phase, perhaps for good. Then she discovers Hachi and Takumi in a compromising situation and flips, believing that Hachi is throwing herself away for a rat.
How can she bring Hachi and Nobu together, while blowing off Takumi?
