As promised, here's Olivia's Winter Sleep (this song suits Nobu & Hachiko) and an MV specially made to remember the blossoming but unfortunate love between Hachiko and Nobu. In NANA, Hachiko is constantly plagued by love matters, her first boyfriend cheated on her and Hachiko caught them redhanded. Her second boyfriend, was a celebrity from Trapnest, Takumi. Initially everybody hated Takumi bcos he was known to be a womanizer and takes advantage of women's weaknesses. In fact, Nana blamed herself for introducing Takumi to Hachiko in the further episodes, her initial plan was to let Hachiko meet her idol, Takumi, after Nana and Ren got back together. But when Takumi started using Hachiko for his own pleasures and treated her hot and cold, Hachiko had already fallen in love with him (probably the reason why men use love to get sex, and women use sex to get love). It was really heartbreaking to see Hachiko trying to convince herself to love Takumi, even when she knew he wasn't a good guy.
Her third boyfriend, Nobu from Black Stones, was a guitarist who was Nana's comrade and they often hanged out together. Nobu loved her deeply and selflessly and she loved Nobu back alot, after realising Takumi wasn't the one whom she should love. By this time, everybody was really happy for Hachiko as we all thought she found true love. However, the happy times shared between them was shortlasting, when Hachiko realised she was pregnant and she didn't know who the father was. (that's why it's unsafe to condone pre-martial sex, hold onto ur virginities for God's sake) Things started to take a dramatic change after that, watch NANA to find out the ending for urself.
I feel a lot for the characters in NANA and somehow there were certain periods or characters whom I can relate to. I like the way the main characters analyse their own feelings and situations and the everso melodramtic progression of the plot. Gaining insight into the reflection of how people feel is liken to gaining trust from the other party, as they begin to show you their own weaknesses and problems. This is probably the reason why NANA is such a HUGE success. Think I should go and read the manga!!
