Hello, I am Kentaro Otani, the director.
I am Mika Nakashima, acting Nana Ozaki.
I am Aoi Miyazaki, as Nana Komatsu.
This is the commentary for the movie, NANA.
We will introduce you the actual happening during our filming.
- Yes. - Yes.
It's really memorable.
Yes, it is.
But in fact it just filmed in the beginning of this year.
Yes, in the first half of this year.
Around February or March.
Yes, we started to film at that time.
Started from this year...
Yes, I know, I know...
The song "My Medicine" was embodied in disc 2 of the Japanese version.
Concerning the encore scene,
I would like to discuss this with all of you.
That was only the introductory part of the song,
and just be performed by three men,
yet it was really a great song.
Yes, it is.
Can I say so?
- The lyrics are in English? - Right.
We use English lyrics intentionally,
so that the audience can feel the style of Black Stone,
of which is somehow like the Western pop style.
We used loads of English songs...
to show their determination to debut in Tokyo.
And then...
change their style after that?
To stress the new style of Black Stones.
Rock more, and stick to the market trend.
That's why...
the two songs...No, should be four.
When you decided to use these two songs,
I have once asked you why you chose these two, right?
You must be confused then.
You didn't like them?
No, I was just doubted why these two different songs were chosen.
So different to each other.
Oh, yes.
I have explained to you once.
Just don't know why we started from talking about snakes.
Yes, yes.
I have told you that.
With the reason you mentioned just now.
Exactly.
Then you stood on the table,
and put in any words in your mind and sang;
after that scene, it's the live scene.
You may say that is some kind of musical development.
It looked cold.
It Was. That Was taken at Otaru.
Yes.
The drinkhouse BIRUDO in the backdrop,
the place I used to drink often.
I believe the liquor marked NANA is still there.
In this street?
Yes. Can you see the signage in the right?
This white signage.
Oh, yes.
Can you see the signage written Birudo?
- I saW! - See?
Our staff loved to drink there.
Oh, we talk about these trivial stuff even.
Our discussion will be a cash cow for Birudo.
How many days did you stay altogether?
- Five days. - Five days only?
Our staff went there beforehand.
After taking the scene of the concert of Trapnest for two days,
we flied to Hokkaido.
Then the actors joined two days later.
Right, it was 5 days altogether.
Those are real snow.
Yes, those are.
Oh, my god.
The view varied from time to time.
Um.
The snow accumulated in a second.
Exactly. The weather is unpredictable in Hokkaido.
One minute the weather is clear, but the other minute it snows.
Thus making the filming for the same scene difficult.
Especially for the scene at the station.
The separation scene of NANA and Ren...
due to the weather condition, we repeated and repeated filming.
No CG effects here?
We make some more snow effects with CG techniques.
- Really? - Yes, as the snow stopped then.
Hence we add some more snow later.
However deletion is impossible.
I missed this scene...so rounded...
Rounded?
Rounded.
- What's rounded? - My face.
No, it wasn't.
Frankly,
Ms. Miyazaki looks thinner as the filming started.
Why?
In the beginning, she had a moon face.
During this time.
Oh, impossible! Really?
Really. I really missed the time.
Was the shooting so hard?
Of course!
This encounter scene was taken on the first day.
I purposely arranged that.
Like a fish out of water, right?
I Was so nervous then.
When I knew that you two are uneasy, I felt uneasy as well.
Yeah, sorry about that.
No, I'm sorry. Did it hurt?
Not a bit.
I missed this scene.
The make-up of Ms. Nakashima...
Iooked so fierce at a glance,
making distance from others.
I think the correspondences between Ms. Nakashima and NANA...
is that you two are afraid of meeting stranger.
You need time to join others.
Exactly.
Maybe you are right.
Others always said that I am not friendly.
- Are you ok? - I'm so sorry.
Hey, don't mind.
How come you suddenly introspect yourself?
Then I asked you two to talk to each other.
You can talk of anything.
I remembered, you two laughed so happily then.
And be friends till the end...
In fact We Were so confused...
for what to talk about.
But what did you talk about...at first?
After some time,
you two did not talk about work, but leisure...
One time, Ms. Miyazaki said she saw my fairy...
Strange conversation again?
Fact!
See, again.
This topic can talk for nights.
It will be a long topic.
If We talk about this,
she will start her theory of the existence of fairies.
I agree.
They really exist!
My past neighbours saw as well.
Were the fairies riding on bicycles?
No, they walked on their legs.
I think they were not riding bicycles.
I used to think that you would say they were riding on bicycles.
If so,
I Will stare at them.
Really?
And I must be amused.
I really have no comments on this.
Hey, Mika, you saw them too.
What?
Uncle goblin.
She didn't.
- Yes, she did. - Yes.
Oh really? My Jesus.
I don't want to talk with you any more.
About the story of Uncle goblin,
many homepages have mentioned.
How come you laugh so hard?
- Sorry. - Listen to me.
The faceless spirits exist in this world.
No, there are no such things.
But there are books about spirits and fairies.
Yes.
This is well-known.
But few people know about Uncle goblin.
Yes, there are different kinds of Uncle goblin.
Let's talk about the movie again.
Right.
How vexing!
If fairies exist, it'll be more fantastic.
I said they are existing.
Probably, they show their appearance to kindhearted, simple minded people.
That's why I cannot see them.
If we continue the same topic,
I fear the faceless spirits will jump into the mouth of Ms. Miyazaki.
Perhaps riding a bicycle as well.
Maybe they have come.
Where is this scene?
The blockage of train by heavy snow.
- The whole scene is made of CG. - Really?
Here I speak.
I've got one more band here.
Band? In your hand?
Neck, no, my wrist.
You didn't have it before?
No, I didn't.
Eh? I didn't notice that.
Really?
- The second day. - Yes.
That was taken on the second day?
Yes, I should be more careful.
Sure?
Is it hair band?
Yes.
Just think that is just taken out from your hair.
I recked this mistake.
But nobody notice that.
You may be right.
I never noticed it.
This scene I started to speak again.
What are you talking about?
Must be faceless spirits.
We were given a bad scold here.
The staff asked us to talk about something related to the movie.
- Yes, a bad scold. - So sorry.
Look! She really said faceless spirits.
It must be!
Had I?
Every time when you talked about faceless spirits, your face was like that.
So excited!
So excited as if you have seen Shoji.
Nana!
Shoji!
There were recording problem here.
Yes, here is done by post recording.
During dubbing, I grew restless.
Really?
Because I did not dress like Hachi during dubbing,
no Hachi make-up,
even hairstyle has reverted to my original style.
As a director, during the post dubbing,
I Worried too.
Worried about whether you can regain the feeling you took that scene.
But you handled well.
No, a bit too nervous.
Post dubbing again?
No, ended after Shoji fadeout.
I thought the whole scene is dubbing.
Let's talk about Nana's narration.
I have distributed the scripts before and after the filming.
The narration scripts.
We have recorded the narration of Nana before and after filming respectively.
Despite of saying they are entirely different,
we should say that the narration dubbed before...
cannot be compared to the one we dubbed after.
Because the actress's feeling will change after filming.
This is fantastic.
You handled this scene very well.
I told you to do whatever you like.
Two pony tails.
Aoi has made the nail art, right?
Yes! I'd love to show everyone.
Isn't it aggravating when you made it?
While annoying, what keeps you to insist in doing it?
I love nail art.
However, there are no chances for me to do so in other movies.
Luckily, I was chosen as Hachi this time.
Thus I think nail art suits her style.
Yup, that's French nail art.
I thought of hoW to mix and match,
for example, this colour can be used over that colour,
or how to mix 3 different colours.
It really brought back many sweet memories to me.
I was appalled by this look also.
So did I.
To what extent will you be?
That's really a good job.
Suits you so much,
even though you said you felt strange.
Really cute.
After this movie, Aoi Miyazaki,
you got a brand-new image.
Has it aroused any response?
Yes...but concerning the brown hair, or even make-up,
seems not much echo aroused till now.
Um.
Probably not.
My lucky number, "7"!
I missed this line!
When I filmed another movie at this same setting,
I re-acted this line,
the staff there were fascinated.
You are good to them.
They all said Hachi has come!
This scene is taken from Komae High School.
It's the scenery taken from the roof.
We have planned the setting of Hachi's apartment exactly like this.
Including this staircase?
This staircase is screened at Yokohama.
Really?
It was a hotel in the past.
I thought that were commercial building. All are companies now?
Yes, it is commercial building now.
Many companies rented for business.
It's a nice place.
We doubted what colour the wall should be painted;
we have read some architects of arts.
We are glad to find the staircase, which is so similar to the comic.
The setting is excellent.
- Yes, same as the one in comic. - Yes.
Right, fantastic.
Even the window is identical.
Exactly the same.
Perfect wall colour, too.
Marvelous!
I have never seen a setting so perfect.
What's on the screen is so detailed.
Especially when it is shown in the wide screen.
I met him lately.
Mr. Ikeda?
I worked with him recently.
He and I partook in a TV programme.
He is the guy I am looking for for the cast of land agent.
He is undoubtedly funny.
I can't help laughing once I saw his face.
Of course I do, silly. Hi, Nana.
You know each other?
How about it?
Will you take it?
Hmmm...I don't know.
See, I took my eyes off him.
I'll take it.
Hang on.
I found it first! Finder's keepers.
But you haven't decided yet.
OK, then...
I'll take it!
Be honest, as regards the costume,
I didn't know the staff have worked hard in researching for the movie.
- For example, the neck band. - Yes.
Actually it is different from the comic.
The stylist of Ms. Nakashima...
Will base on the size of her neck to fix the thickness of the neck band.
So, all the products are done out of their original ideas.
You won't stick your nose into my business?
Even the thickness of the girdle.
In the comic, there are just long girdles.
- Yes, the one made in fabric. - Right.
- Just like towel texture? - Yes.
That's cool.
The original story don't have such thing.
The stylists created them.
Anyway, no matter how good the design is,
it ought to match with...
Ms. Miyazaki or Ms. Nakashima.
After matching and mending,
the outcome will be flawless than ever.
And more realistic than ever.
It's fascinating.
This costume is made after my haircut.
There are cogitation for my long and short hair look.
Private clothing are also applied.
Tailor's fitting was conducted at my home.
Really?
Really.
Most of the private clothing are the checkers-pattern skirts.
That's a dog's name! Call me something cuter.
The location of taking the strawberry glasses is Ikebukuro.
In fact I love to shop there.
In Ikebukuro?
I believe these shops are the ideal ones.
So I go to consult with them.
Coincidently, they also sell the strawberry glasses.
That's why we used that for filming.
Really? Is there any?
Yes. You can go and buy one.
It must be popular.
I use to think that it is sold everywhere.
This Tower Records locates at Kichijoji.
Later on, this shop made the same setting as it is now...
to promote the new album of Ms. Nakashima and Ms. Ito.
Oh?
I'd love to go and see.
But the singer, Reira, is the true star.
She looks great, sounds great.
We had a lot of funny conversations.
Yes.
Perhaps Ren has already forgotten.
This shot!
Oh, Ren?
He is good looking and has the biggest following...
but he looks moody. He scares me.
Why are you laughing?
Oh, nothing...
Many asked me which I like better, Hachi or NANA.
To be frank, I have never determine which side I am for.
What attract me most is the relationship between NANA and Hachi.
Their close relations,
their conflicts,
yet the bond becomes tighter than ever.
These shots are most beautifully described in the original comics.
Haven't you got a date? A boyfriend?
Don't make me laugh.
How about the guy the other day? You like him, I can tell.
See, Hachi didn't listen to anyone.
Yasu's a friend.
I get it. You're just not ready to admit it, right?
Do you two have any favourite scenes?
You may tell me when that's on.
Then I will say it's this scene.
So unexpected?
In fact many of them are my favourite.
I think Mika is that same.
Or any favourite scene without your own appearance?
Oh, it just passed.
Really?
Yes, the scene of Hachi finding apartment.
I like the land agent, and the strawberry glasses' scenes.
She's cute.
- So cute. - Like a shining star.
- Really? - Yes, really cute.
I was surprised when I do the post production.
I have chosen the best actress as Hachi.
Frankly, I really feared that...
the conflict between reality and comics will be so great.
For instance, the scene at Hokkaido,
only one main character is there.
However, when both NANA and Hachi came out in the same scene,
I worried that may not match to reality.
Such kind of person also exist.
Luckily, there are no odd feelings.
When Hachi went to search for housing,
I first discovered that this kind of girl really exist in this world.
Your smile is so nice then.
Er? I never noticed that.
I Was startled at the time.
At Ryoichi, Hokkaido,
Scenes of Black Stones' affairs, Kitaminako were taken there.
I am so contented With this scene.
Yes.
We made the lock there.
I'm tired of being alone.
How did you feel with Ryuhei Matsuda?
Um, what?
That's with Ren.
The scene of taking bath together,
at the time we are filming, I didn't have much embarrassment.
On the contrary, I felt tense the day before filming.
Surprisingly, we have the bath together normally.
Just like a pair of passionate lovers.
Seems the world just has the two of you.
Others are unable to disturb you.
Really looks like a pair of lovers.
This scene I'd like to film exactly as the comic.
You have the comics in your hands.
The CD player, or where the hand should be placed,
I am fastidious about the Whole setting.
I Would like to be assiduous.
Yet, the cameraman changed all the positions owing to esthetics.
I Was so crestfallen then.
I am a perfectionist!
Let's have the fashion check first.
Hey, this dress is exactly the same as the comic.
Here she comes.
My rival is there.
Shall I say that matter here?
I Was interrogated.
What? What's the matter?
Aoi has once interrogated me that...
in presence of the make-up stylists and the costume stylists
What happened?
What? What have I asked you?
Why did Shoji desert Hachi but chose Sachiko?
This is not an interrogation!
It's a question.
I ansWered that the comic goes like that.
And asked you to leave me peace.
You have once asked me to film more...
the scenes of Hachi and Shoji, right?
Right.
Saying you would like to be with him.
Yes, I did.
I think the scenes together Were too feW.
Yes, Shoji changed to Sachiko too fast.
The sweet scenes with Shoji can only be find in the beginning.
As the movie started from we went to Tokyo.
The comic author Ms. Yazawa plead us...
not to turn Shoji and Sachiko into bad guys.
Shoji and Sachiko are only two people from two totally different world,
but eventually fall in love with each other,
thus their scenes are much more.
The parting scene outside restaurant,
then being witnessed by NANA and Hachi.
In fact I am quite depressed.
Especially when I saw Hiraoka and Saeko chatted happily,
I was really depressed.
A feeling of melancholy.
It's normal as they were always together.
Thus at the parting scene outside the restaurant,
Shoji and Sachiko is a group, while Hachi and NANA is another group.
I explained the scene to you two groups,
run here and there, making the atmosphere tight.
Luckily, we took a good scene.
You could be a carpenter. How about that for a job?
What? And risk injuring my fingers?
This is the dialogue only for Hachi.
How come she can ask a girl to be a carpenter...
You want to be a guitarist?
I'm not a guitarist. I'm a vocalist.
A vocalist? That's so cool! I'm so impressed.
With what?
With you...
Save that line until you've actually heard me sing.
I love this scene too.
Me too.
Good evening. Courier!
Must be for me.
From then on, you two are "in" the condition.
Smooth filming.
Yes, this part is freely filmed.
I'm glad to get the realistic part filmed.
Here we stuck straightly to the comic.
At first we painted the bench and table in white.
But by that, they were too similar to a sale product...
So we paint half ot it back to wood color.
Later on white again,
in order to be more realistic.
I'm only happy when I play the guitar!
Narimiya is a very funny character,
making the atmosphere cheerful.
His hairstyle is the only one different from the comic.
He also minded this point much.
But no change after all?
Yasu. What were you thinking?
Why did you send this idiot here?
Mr. Narimiya is well suited to be Nobu.
Have you heard Nobu's tape?
Yasu is...
Exactly the same as the comic.
I have never dreamt about it.
No one thought we can.
Ms. YazaWa Wished so eagerly,
and asked me to find one for Yasu.
While Yasu is the tallest among all,
and a trustworthy guy,
she definitely wished to find the right one for Yasu.
Ms. Yazawa strongly proposed me.
I was impressed by an advertisement of Seven Stars.
I found that he is the ideal one for Yasu.
Hence I asked all the staff.
Finally I got his photo,
and tried to reach him.
When I met him, I knew he is the one.
This is a nice scene.
I don't think so.
Ever since I spoke, it was strange.
I was puzzled when I took this scene.
I'd love to stick to the comic,
but didn't know how to take it.
That's the fundamental question.
What's your feeling in acting NANA?
I think you must have some.
There is no sound from comic,
yet every time filming, I will read through the comic.
But the imagination is not enough.
So I was nervous at that moment.
Muddled through the lyrics...
How to make it?
It's HYDE Who sang the demo first.
Then?
Then I re-write the lyrics.
It's Mika you who wrote that?
Yes.
I discussed with my producer and wrote the lyrics.
You're great!
I think so.
Nobody can sing like that in the first time!
How did you feel when you sing?
You treated it as a complete song,
or just sing whatever come out from your head?
I think you have done a good job.
I strongly sensed your NANA side then.
Bathing!
- I Want to live there. - Yes.
But there is no toilet!
This setting is ripped the next day.
Really?
- Really. - Oh?
Or that's ripped the next next day?
No, no, just one day.
One day only?
Oh no?
I thought we have filmed for long.
We finished everything in a day.
This scene was taken long...
filming till late at night.
I'd no make-up here... really ok?
We have discussed this topic then.
I thought I ought to make up a little.
There are great difference between no make-up and full make-up of NANA.
This no make-up Nakashima...
barely taking a bath here.
Only the tattoo is there.
On the surface, that is Nakashima,
but in fact it is NANA.
This point is true.
Turn so smoothly.
I have practised for times...
for not to erase the bubbles away.
Eh?
I try to move by keeping the bubbles...
It's hard to film the bubbles too.
Before filming, two assistant directors also tried the filming position.
We found two people of the same somatotype to take the trial too.
The same trial was done many times,
and finally this effect was borned.
We encountered so much difficulties though.
Funny.
See those bubbles.
The sound of the bubbles were loud.
We reduce the noise of them during post production
But then the sound are gone...
Here's Jackson Hall.
Haven't you come here, Nakashima?
Yes, I have.
So you tasted the Jackson burger?
It's yummy.
I have also bought the stickers.
NANA should have never been there.
I think so.
Yes, the comic don't have that scene.
I ate too much Jackson burgers.
I have not taste a bite.
That's really delicious.
Yummy.
The hamburger there is so good that...
it should not be classified as fast food.
Sorry.
I'm Working real late.
Not again!
I came to Tokyo to be with you, and you're always working!
You never think of me.
What Hachi said is barbaric,
- but she is just too cute to blame. - Yes, too cute.
Hachi is difficult to cast, isn't it?
Don't you think one can never understanding what she's thinking?
I believe Shoji used to think that she is a great trouble.
Boys will think like that.
Shinichi!
I asked Mitsuki Koga as bartender.
This is Kenichi Matsuda's live show.
We were so amazed and surprised!
All were good, but he is the excellent!
Get use to it in a week.
Cool at the scene of live concert.
So amazing!
He has a gift of learning guitars.
This is his first contact with guitars.
Have you run away from home or something?
Just like the last scene,
he combined the skills he learnt in bass with the basic techniques,
but got such nice effect.
He is really gifted.
Ren Honjo from Trapnest.
I'm a Trapnest fan, too!
But Ren's a guitarist!
Didn't you know?
Ren played bass in his last band.
I never kneW that.
I like Takumi, the bassist!
This dialogue is not necessary.
Just too cute.
There's just one condition.
It's memorable.
Yes, memorable.
Do you remember the only male make-up stylist?
Yes.
Mr. Kohei Nagashima?
No.
Later on we changed to the female one.
Yes, Makki.
He was afraid of meeting Shin.
He thought the beautiful Shin will cold-shoulder somebody like him.
Even boys think like this.
He is simply too beautiful.
Too beautiful to get close to...
Gorgeous!
So envy him.
Matsuyama and I, and Maruyama starring Yasu...
have drunk for tWice.
We talked about others then.
When we talked of Ryuhei Matsuda may come despite of hard working schedule,
we phoned him.
Yasu said to him if he did not come we would call NANA instead,
Ryuhei heard that and said, "Thundery".
He then flew to us by bike in midnight.
I Was glad to have a chance to drink...
with 3 members of Blast that night.
That's really a rare chance.
Personally, I love this clothes.
Personally?
Absolutely!
In fact I Would like to use this skirt more.
Yes, it's nice. Use only once is not enough.
It's not one piece.
Isn't it?
It can be separated.
Mix and match With other clothes is ok!
But you like this better.
Go on without me!
Their style gradually become alike.
More and more alike.
The same knitwear.
Aoi has once said,
I meant to.
She said she meant to.
"Dash!"
As mentioned, they are not malefactors.
Or doing any evil acts.
Hence I told them it's natural,
Sachiko only have to show her remorse...
will be more than enough.
Sachiko is not a love rival to Hachi,
or intentionally vies Shoji from Hachi.
I explained these to her.
My heart bleeds.
Hachi was pathetic.
You phoned to disturb them.
Shoji is unforgivable.
I am not sure about this.
Although he is wrong,
it is inevitable...
The situation is a bit complicated.
Is this really right or wrong?
Is he good or bad?
Even Ms. Yazawa has never stepped into such question.
As she is not a novelist,
she just treat herself as a storyteller, drawing people's experiences.
At the same time, such kind of people are always near her.
This is a good guy, whereas that is a bad guy.
This is a nice character, whereas that is a baddie.
She hasn't ever distinguish any of them.
What she requested is to describe the existence of these people.
She depicted everybody's encounter in the comic.
Don't look into an incident with just one point of view.
Otherwise, your thinking will be narrow.
It's late.
I'll drop by in the morning.
Love is not always sweet.
Many inevitable happenings may occur.
Love has different levels.
I think you can understand Hachi's feeling after being her.
Hachi's late.
Is she Working?
This beer is real.
This is my first time to drink that beer.
In the glasses is...
Um...
Shin will have some other filming...
so, he's drinking oolong tea.
Oh?
He said he has never get drunk though.
Soaker!
Hachi!
We've got a gig!
This scene was taken after you drank,
it was good.
Here comes another kissing scene.
Many asked about this scene.
Yes, many.
Right, I agree.
But we took it smoothly.
Naturally.
As that's so smooth that...
I have a feeling you tWo can kiss more.
I think I can kiss some more times.
Normal kiss.
Originally...
I have not drunk any.
I didn't intend to add narration here.
But your expression were too good that...
I took it long.
While doing the film editing, I didn't know which part I could cut.
That's genuine beam.
Attention, everybody!
We've got a new employee.
I'm Nana Komatsu. I'm terrible at computers...
Here is Yokohama.
A publishing company?
I can't believe they took you on.
Junko's clothes are splendid.
Both Jun and Kyosuke are!
The office is in Aoyama. It's so cosmopolitan there!
A dangerous place for a shopaholic!
No, I'm a changed woman since moving in with NANA.
Your hair became straight here.
No, it's not.
That's slight curl to show my maturity.
Wedding?
With who? Shoji?
Keep it a secret! Shoji hasn't actually said anything.
We're still young. But just in case... just in case...
The style again so alike.
Yes.
Many asked about the egg salad.
Like "you really love egg salad"...
Cause I knew a good canteen of it.
In fact I am a graduate from the art university of Tama.
So when I knew I need to film the scene of an art university,
I thought of my alma mater.
When I reached, it changed a lot.
Making our original plan raw.
You like this scene?
Um...
They are cool.
Sachiko's a friend.
Sachiko? You sound closer than friends.
I am 40 noW...
So I cannot return to the age of 20.
What's the feeling of a man of 20?
I need to observe the actors and feel.
Then recall the thinking at that time...
Suddenly, from 20 to 40 was just like in a wink of time.
Such kind of feeling,
you two must be difficult to imagine.
Um?
Like an old guy filming his youth story.
Don't be silly!
You made a commitment. Live up to it.
I'm trying to...
He bought this sunglasses for the scene.
So match to him.
He imagined himself as Kyosuke,
and bought the sunglasses.
He even showed that when rehearsed.
We all agreed that is Kyosuke style, and it was used here.
Nice matching.
Much match With this knit hat.
I've got you the text for Mr. Noguchi's illustration.
Thank you.
Care for a drink later?
I can't.
Why not? Just a quick one.
I have to go.
Rumi Shishido as Ms. Sakagami.
She has been participated in much of Ms. Yazawa's animations.
She is the voice talent of Hachi.
So lovely and energetic.
Our staff!
Coffee, please!
All are cameo.
Hey.
Wait a second.
What is it?
There's something...
What are they talking about?
He was unable to say he will leave her.
Can we talk as we walk?
Here's the scene they started to engage.
Yes, but I think he'd like to part at first.
Maybe I should not say as separation,
probably stopping such relationship.
Yet, he failed to do so.
As he failed to say so, he was sure that he loved her.
Sachiko then cried and said, "Let's be friends."
Boys thought Sachiko is nice,
including our staff.
Especially those male assistants and young staff like Sachiko.
Sachiko is popular.
But all female staff hate her to death.
Oh, that's too much.
I also think Sachiko is cute and nice.
You don't have to apologize.
There were many female students at the time we are filming.
Most of them are 20s and NANA's fans.
Staff worried whether they'd be filmed,
and thus they asked for their opinions.
This scene was scarce.
You are right.
I don't want to stand between you...
The path filmed here...
we have searched for long.
At last, it's them who found that path.
They walked and walked and found it.
There is a river beside.
Oh!
Here it comes.
No such scenes with Hachi.
Shoji took this right after dating with me.
At first, we took Shoji's apartment,
the dinner scene.
We were like spirits hiding here and there.
Thought I'd drop by. Hope you don't mind.
You look good in uniform.
This scene is took moiling too.
Cause we are not allowed to take it long.
That's a restaurant at Chiba.
The outside scene is split to two places.
The scene inside was taken in a day.
Till late at night though.
Because we are unable to film during working hours.
Exactly.
So we have to wait till they close.
And finish filming by 5am.
We had to stop at dawn.
Yes, cannot continue since dawn.
Chiba was even colder than Hokkaido!
Yes, freezing.
Mika was really freezing at that time.
Wide of the mark!
What are you doing?
I'm sorry...
Ow!
Are you OK? You're bleeding!
Your handkerchief....
Never mind. Just get your finger seen to.
I'm sorry.
Sachiko is not a baddie.
I don't think she is evil at all.
You are right.
- But in the view of Hachi... - Right.
What a nightmare!
Such tragedy always occur when one is in love.
I'm sure many has such experience.
It's not just a fake imagination.
Your girlfriend's pretty...
and very sweet.
Hiraoka was frustrated then.
I explained to him for a long time.
We should stop before...
someone gets hurt.
I love this scene very much.
I love the conversation between you two.
What's up?
I didn't get a chance to speak to Shoji.
What did you expect? He was working.
I haven't spoken to him in ages!
NANA, wait with me... until Shoji gets off work.
I'm going home.
No wait! Please wait!
Natural performance.
You noticed that?
The step with your words of wait...
I really appreciate the queer relation.
Just the same as the comic.
If you step a little more bombastically, it must be more interesting.
Yet it was already too exaggerated.
If possible, I'd love to take more scenes of your relations,
of your naive parts, interesting parts.
If you honestly want to see Shoji, I'll stay.
Of course, I honestly want to see him.
See? Smoke came out from the mouth!
Extremely cold.
But here's still Chiba?
Yes, the scene waiting outside.
Yet we changed the place from now on.
What about you?
I grew up in the cold.
Here I said "it's freezing" in my heart.
Filming was taken after we back from Hokkaido.
The filming was really rush.
When we were at Hokkaido, we have prepared much to fight cold.
However, only here we feel the coldness of Hokkaido.
Only me?
No, the whole crew.
Sure?
Everyone thought Chiba was warmer, out of our anticipation, here was colder.
Exactly.
It's freezing.
Cause the wind blew.
Much freezing.
Ah!
We shouted again.
Sachiko...
I'll break up with her!
They saw me!
I remembered Ms. Nakashima asked...
to what extent should you scold him.
What you asked was not how,
but if you can beat him as well.
Have I?
Yes, you did.
Oh god.
NANA is a hard-liner,
thus just go ahead and scold him!
This is the genuine NANA.
I told you to scold whatever you liked.
