The ending theme song for the popular anime NANA is OLIVIA’s 「a little pain」. Honestly, I was looking forward to this PV more than the opening theme’s since I had originally liked (and still do) the ED more. So of course I was very excited and happy to be able to finally hear the full version of the song. I actually watched the PV as if it were a Trapnest one featuring Reira since OLIVIA fit the profile quite nicely (not that doing so made much difference). Anyway, I love this song and the PV, especially the way the song starts and the english part in the middle. Though I do have to note that I think the dress they put on her is horrendous looking – but that’s just my opinion. The 「a little pain」 single is due out June 28th.
If you want the (Japanese) lyrics for this song, this blogger has transcribed them down.
Watch it on YouTube!
A huge thanks to doobie over at JPOPSUKI for the PV.

  2. she might really be the model of Reira, since Ai Yazawa wanted Olivia to do a song for the anime …. i dunno if many Mangaka chose the artists for their animes …. but Olivia has always been great, if you like this song you should try her older ones =)

  3. Love it!! The music video and OLIVIA. The music video is very artsy and her costume/dress is amazing. Her look and everything suits her and brings out the music more in a way. I love this way more then the OP song. Just because its beautiful and the lyrics are so meaningful. Sooooo addicted to the anime! 🙂

  7. Hmm… She looks more caucasian then she does Japanese.But it’s all good. The girl’s got talent. I think her dress is interesting.. NANA is a good anime, but I like the movie a little better. But I like the manga most because you get to know the characters better and the story goes into more depth.
