"Nana," a blockbuster girls' comic whose 12 volumes have sales topping 23 million copies, has been made into a film.
Mika Nakashima and Aoi Miyazaki, the stars of "Nana," appeared at a recent news conference in Tokyo along with other cast members.
"Nana" depicts the friendship and romance that unfolds around two girls who share the name Nana but have totally opposite personalities, with Nakashima and Miyazaki playing the title characters.
"I've never played the role of such a happy-go-lucky girl like Nana. I tried to make myself look totally different, like having my hair and eyebrows dyed brown, which I had never done before," grinned Miyazaki, who is popular for her innocent image.
Nakashima, who revealed that she is a fan of the original comic, said, "I had fun with the scene in which my Nana was singing because the style of her singing was totally different from mine."
When asked about the part of the movie where Nakashima kisses Miyazaki to cheer her up, "We didn't find that uncomfortable. We were fine about it," the actresses answered in unison after looking at each other. (Mainichi)
