Mika Nakashima’s 「CRY NO MORE」 is Blood+’s second ending song. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a big fan of Mika Nakashima’s music, including this song, but I didn’t like this PV. The setting is a quaint, southern, Main Street USA-ish town, complete with Nakashima-san holding a branch of cotton. But what really kills this PV for me is the outfit they gave her for the church scene. It simply looks horrible on her. On a side note, I can’t help but want to call her Nana, especially since she’s still sporting the short hair. Anyway, good song, sub-par PV. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for a good 「SEASON’S CALL」 PV…
You mean she’s the one playing as Nana Komatsu or the other Nana (rock Nana)?
!!! YES !!! those church clothes are just simply detestable… those flower patterns on a tight black outfit. In the end, the repeated gesture of quickly turning the head side to side irritated me a little too. The song is great nevertheless.
I’m a major fan of Mika Nakashima as well, except a lot of Japanese PVs as of late has been pretty disappointing. Not enough artistic cohesion to many of them.
What is PV’s?
Promotional Video
Was it THAT bad? Maybe I haven’t seen enough PVs…
The wall with the paintings of black people makes me laugh.
Am I the only one who thinks this girl looks like the actrss in NANA movie as punk NANA?
Mika Nakashima was in Nana, as Nana. -_-
Is there any chance we can download the PV ?
@Toki-it’s a rule here not to ask for the download. *coughs*lookatthecommunitylinksformoreinfo
I just saw it, yea it’s not as good as some of her other PVs. And I agree with you I didn’t like the church outfit either. It just didn’t suit her.
And I think she’s still sporting the NANA hairdo because there will be NANA 2. I’m not sure if it’s already in the works, but it’s rumored to come out sometime this fall so maybe.
Oh that’s right, I completely forgot that they were making the next NANA movie. That’d be a good reason to keep it that way lol.
Eew, is that her in the church screenshot? 🙁 I don’t really like her with short hair… reminds me of someone I know.
What ? There is a Nana movie ? Oh man.. Where can I get it ? Kinokuniya ?
lol when the repeated gesture of quickly turning the head side to side irritated me too^^ and it reminds me of gackt’s gesture!it’s too exagerrated.
mika is very good and so cute
this pv is sybolic to blues, gospel and it was filmed with respect of the remembrance of the black slavery. it indicating the civil rights, black slavery, music and freedom. so i reckon mika has a done a great pv, and its very nice.

I like the song a lot I’ve been a fan of mika ever since gundam seeds ” Find the way” one of her best songs in my opinon, but I’m not a fan of the nana movies , or really blues but this song is really awesome.
Actually, the “ugly” dress she is wearing is an old church outfit I used to see alot of older people wear when I was a kid in the South (Atlanta, Georgia). She’s just staying within the theme of the song. So it actually works for the video. If anyone has ever seen the movei, “Color Purple”, she’s wearing Suge Avery’s outfit. Go Mika.
