Nana Osaki.

Personality:

Nana may come across as an apathetic goth-punk rocker, but she has a kind heart and is a very devoted friend, although she can sometimes be very cold and forceful, or even mean when she is upset. Despite the hardships she endured during her childhood and adolescence, Nana "polishes the fragments of her dreams" and is determined to succeed as the lead vocalist of Black Stones. She is engaged to Ren Honjo (her first love), although she also has certain feelings for Yasushi Takagi. Despite insisting that she wants to be independent, even going so far as to be compared to "a street cat full of pride" by Hachi, Nana often turns to Yasu for help. As Hachi says, "Nana's favorite things never change": her favorite designer is Vivienne Westwood, and her favorite band is the Sex Pistols. She smokes Seven Stars and loves lattes and strawberry shortcake. Her favorite flower is the ren (lotus flower). She prepares all of her food with too much salt, which only Ren seems to enjoy. Nana has a sarcastic attitude and a blunt sense of humor; She jokingly calls herself a sadist. Nana is cautious when it comes to sex, since she never has relations with Ren unless she is using a contraceptive method such as the pill, since she does not feel ready to have children since that would prevent her from continuing with her dream of sing.

Biography:

Nana was born in Meguro, Tokyo. She is the illegitimate daughter of Misuzu Osaki (later Uehara), who left her in the care of her grandmother when she was four years old. Nana has not seen her mother since then, and therefore she has forgotten what her mother looked like. Miyuki Osaki (Nana's grandmother) was very strict and forbade her from wearing red and pink clothes because she did not want her to "tempt" men and look like her mother. Nana worked for her grandmother, although she didn't pay her a penny. From an early age, Nana showed rebellious and independent behavior. In high school, she had no friends and was intimidating; She rarely interacted with her peers. Her situation changes when she meets Nobuo Terashima, who lends her her CDs and introduces her to punk with groups like the Sex Pistols. Eventually, Nobu manages to break through her icy exterior and understands that Nana is actually a caring person. When she is falsely accused of prostitution and expelled from school, Nana does not deny her accusations. She later confesses to Ren that she regrets her decision, stating that the incident could have led to her grandmother's health aggravating and killing her out of her disgust. However, after her grandmother's death, as a Christmas gift for herself, Nana buys a red dress. She puts on that red dress at a punk concert she attends with Nobu, where she first sees Ren Honjō. Nana is captivated by her strength on stage, which is why she accepts her offer to join the band she was starting with Nobu and her friend, Yasushi Takagi.

Biography:

Being the lead vocalist of the band Black Stones (BLAST), Nana gained a large number of fans in her hometown. She developed a "cool" and punk appearance. She eventually moved in with Ren, and the two shared an intense romance until Ren mentioned to her that she had been offered a big record deal in Tokyo and that she would be leaving Blast to play in the band Trapnest. Although Ren and Nana still loved each other, they believed that a long-distance relationship would be meaningless. Nana proudly refused to abandon her own musical career to follow Ren; Therefore, their relationship ended. Later, on March 5, 2001, the day she turned 20, Nana moved to Tokyo at her own expense determined to follow her dream of becoming a successful singer. On the train on the way to Tokyo she fortuitously meets Nana Komatsu who is also moving to Tokyo with big dreams to fulfill. Then he meets her again while he was looking to get away from her and they decide to become roommates despite her very opposite personalities.

Appearance:

She is a slender young woman with short black hair, brown eyes, and a tattoo of a pink lotus flower on her upper left arm. Her nails are long and well-shaped, usually painted a dark red tone; In the past she used to paint them black. She also paints her toenails the same color. Her usual makeup is red lipstick, black mascara, and purple eyeshadow. Hachi comments in Chapter 1 that, when they met, she noticed that Ōsaki had enviably long eyelashes and five piercings in his left ear, and three in her right. Many characters describe Ōsaki as beautiful.

Relations:

Nana Komatsu Nana nicknames her "Hachi" and jokes that she is "a faithful and loyal little dog, but she requires a lot of attention." She is very possessive of Hachi and wants to "have him in her garden" and that is why she intervenes so that Nobu and Hachi can be together; because she feels that if she goes with Takumi it is as if Trapnest stole her from her like with Ren. When Hachi finally chooses a life with Takumi, Nana is devastated but decides to support her so as not to lose her. Ren Honjo Ren Honjo is Nana's first love. They meet at a punk concert thanks to Nobu and together they form the Black Stones. A year after the group formed, one night they kiss and begin an intense relationship. Shortly afterward they move into Ren's apartment together. Ren mentions that he wouldn't mind having children with Nana and starting a family, but she flatly says that it would ruin her dream of being a singer and that they are too young. When Ren tells Nana that she is moving to Tokyo to play with Trapnest and leaves the Blast, Nana is devastated and her pride prevents her from leaving with Ren even though he leaves that option open to her. Yasushi Tagaki Although Nana is in love with Ren, she also has feelings for Yasu since he has been there for her in a different way than Ren. And he often turns to Yasu for help instead of Ren. He is a very important pillar for her.

Relations:

Nobuo Terashima Nobu and Nana were classmates in high school; in fact, Nobu was his only friend since Nana was quite a loner. Thanks to him he begins to be interested in punk and meets Ren and Yasu and they form the Blast. They are good friends and that is why it was more difficult for Nana to forgive Hachi for what she had done to Nobu, since she also feels loyalty towards him. In fact, she tries to console him about the situation but he ends up being her shoulder to cry on and not the other way around.

Membership

Black Stones, shortened to Blast, is a Japanese punk rock band. Its members are: Nana Ōsaki (vocals), Yasushi Takagi (drums), Nobuo Terashima (guitar) and Shinichi Okazaki (bass). In their original lineup, Ren Honjō was the bassist, but he left the band to join Trapnest. They are represented by the Gaia Records label. Blast settled in a small coastal town called Meguro, where they gave concerts in small venues during 1997 and 1998 and achieved great popularity among the town's teenagers. After Ren's departure, the group dissolved, until Nana O. decided to go to Tokyo and later Nobu and Yasu decided to follow her and join again. Thanks to Nana K., Shin joined the band as bassist, with a promise to Nana O. that he would try to surpass Ren.

It is Western style and has two bedrooms of 15m2 each, a 20m2 living room with a built-in wardrobe and a bathroom with a claw-foot bathtub. In the center of the living room, Nana builds some tables and benches with wood from a construction site. She has a refrigerator and washing machine and later Hachi buys a microwave. It does not have air conditioning, something that Nana Osaki complains about on several occasions. The building in which it is located does not have an elevator, so the Nanas have to climb stairs to a seventh.
