NANA the Movie 2
Filming and Casting

It has been over a year since "NANA the Movie" entered the Asian entertainment scene, and captured the headlines of media outlets everywhere. Now finally, filming for the sequel has begun. On September 26th (Japan time), Yui Ichikawa (a.k.a. our new Hachiko) wrote in her blog about her first day of filming for "NANA 2." She described that the scene took place in a beautiful wedding hall. The location gave her such mushy feelings, that she gushed about one day being married in such a place, with a beautiful gown and someone she loves.
