New In The World of "NANA" It seems that big companies have decided to further wash themselves in the light reflected off of the "NANA" movie hype. During the months of September and October, many new "NANA" manga merchandise have been released into the market. Also, the company Banpresto has put out new "NANA" pillows and glass cups. The pillows are shown in the picture to your left (Ignore the blue teddy bear. ^.^;; I stole the picture on an auction.). They measure approximately 35cmx35cmx10cm. These can also be won in Banpresto's game machines, but they're not that easy to win. Many people who just want to own it, flocked to online auctions. At the beginning of the month when the pillows and cups were first released, the cups and pillows cost a fortune (In some instances, over $100 USD!). However, as the month rolled by, prices on Japanese auctions began to drop due to a large amount of competition on the internet. So if you're smart, you can buy this whole set for $40 or less!
Lastly, Oricon Style magazine has published that Mika Nakashima was voted by readers to be the "Number One Female Artist" in Japan. Mika also was voted number one for "Mysteriously Charming," number three for "Best Dressed," and number five for being "Bewitchingly Charming." Her song "Glamorous Sky," theme song to "NANA the Movie," has also taken third place for "Favorite Commercial Song." So congrats to Mika Nakashima! |
