"Hey Nana do you remember..."

Nana Komatsu is a 20-year-old Genki Girl from the countryside with a bad habit of falling in love at first sight with any man who glances in her direction. Nana Ohsaki is a 20-year-old punk rocker from a different small city, who's coming off a bad breakup with her boyfriend (and lead guitarist). When Nana "Ko" follows her boyfriend to Tokyo, and Nana "Oh" heads there to start her music career, the two young women meet by chance on a snowbound train. They rent an apartment together several days later.

Nana is based on the #1 josei manga in Japan. The anime version became the nation's #2 film in 2005, behind only the latest film from Studio Ghibli. It is currently available in fansubs over BitTorrent, and is scheduled to run for four full quarters.
