LOL, what do you define as a rotten egg in terms of movies?

well as i said this movie did really poorly in financial terms...this was supposed to be one of the biggest movies of the year...and yet in the opening weekend the box office revenues were only 31 percent of the first movie. moreover, this movie's highest ranking was fourth....this movie was expected to have made over 20 million dollars already....but despite all the hype seems nobody in japan is interested. after the opening weeking the film already dropped a few spots.

i'll still watch it when it comes out...but given the change of certain cast memebers, especially aoi miyazaki i doubt it will have the same magic that the first film did.

Hmm, after my drama/spindle cleanup I found a disc of this movie... Don't even remember who I got it from...

Is is worth watching?

A lot of ppl enjoyed it, myself included. It seems to be a faithful adaptation of the manga...faithful not only in story but actually bringing "to life" the characters in the comic. The casting was spot on for the two protagonists. Lots of ppl here appeared to enjoy the film:

Ralph, Missmonika, tabana, anime dad, me, etc etc.

I mean it's not Letters from Iwo Jima but it's a coming of age story that the Japanese seem to excel at telling.

Watching it once was instant addiction for me. Now it's just part of my life.

If it comes up with widescreen and a yellow menu with Chinese/English subtitle option and the picture is sharp and clear top quality then I sent it to you...
If I sent it, it must be worth watching...

Mika Nakashima Going To Hollywood...?
Translated by Lisa

Mika Nakashima and Yui Ichikawa flew to New York City to promote their new movie, "NANA 2." Both girls received an extremely warm welcome from the media in the US. There was even an offer from a film executive to remake "NANA" in Hollywood. It looks like Mika might just have a chance to go to Tinseltown!

The Japanese movie "NANA 2" premiered in Hong Kong on January 4th 2007. Mika Nakashima and Yui Ichikawa, the film's two main stars, were originally scheduled to appear in Hong Kong to promote "NANA 2" in December 2006. However, their plans were changed last minute and the two girls flew to New York for the movie's international premiere instead. On the trip, Mika was interviewed by the US media. Favored by MTV, Mika was specially invited to visit the famous music network's headquarters in New York City for an interview. Mika was extremely gorgeous that day, in her Oosaki Nana outfit. Not since Utada Hikaru and Ken Hirai, has a Japanese artist received such grand treatment.

"NANA" the manga and movie have drawn an astounding amount of support in Asia within the last year. The "NANA Phenomenon" has gradually spread itself to Europe and America as well. US film companies expressed interest in remaking a Hollywood version of "NANA." And it seems that Mika Nakashima has already acquired quite a large fanbase in the US. But Mika's confidence wavers on the subject and has not made plans to expand in America. For the year 2007, Mika will resume her work solely as a singer with Asia as her domain.

In other news, Yuna Ito who stars as Reira in "NANA 2," will be releasing her first album "Heart" on January 24th 2007. A concert tour is on her schedule beginning mid-April, and is already booked in five major cities in Japan to meet her fans!
