ANNA inspi' NANA(BLACK STONES)

Artist

ANNA inspi' NANA (BLACK STONES) is a performance credit created for the 2006 anime 'NANA,' based on Ai Yazawa's popular manga. Singer and actress Anna Tsuchiya (ANNA) sang the opening theme 'rose' as a presence overlapping with Nana Osaki (CV: Romi Park), the vocalist of the in-story punk band BLACK STONES. Lyrics were by ANNA, with composition and arrangement by Ayumi Miyazaki. Framed as a track by the in-universe band, Tsuchiya's powerful rock vocal merged with the character's voice, becoming an emblematic opening inseparable from the story of characters who dream of making it in a band.
