Blazing Mugen Cover Art.. +NANA PARTY update~!!
OOOOOOH. See, I’ve told you it’s sizzlin’ RED! xD
EDIT. Click for the 1964 x 1748 version. Large enough? xD
Somehow it strucked me as something that ETERNAL BLAZE should have, instead of that tombstone-looking space door.
Something really doesn’t click though, with that much fire surrounding Nana, doesn’t it get a bit hot..? So why the heck the long dress with long sleeves? D=
Now that the cover is out, the shops are free to advertise official pics, so I could probably list out the store bonus in 1-2 weeks time~♪
NANA PARTY has published a new profile photo.. if this reflects Mugen (should be), then I think most store bonus will have this photoshoot!
EDIT. NANAPARTY FRONT SITE UPDATES.

I’m sorry, but that is a rather ugly CD jacket design. D: The flames are such an old idea, and there is little to no colour-coordination. They could have come up with a rather nice concept with a title like ‘Mugen’, but they went for such an obvious, overused one.
Sorry for the rant, but I had such high hopes for this single. Oh well. I’ve already pre-ordered my copy ages ago anyway. I am still looking forward to the songs and the PV(s?), though. Am too much of a Nana-fan to not to, CD jacket designs aside.
IMO i think the cover looks great!
case as in, paper case? cloth case? :/
anyway i’m sure the whole single is awesome
@Etherlite: pervert underage boy.
@anonymouse: I forgive the lack of creativity since the other photoshoot is just………..
@pure_awesome: I think it’s just the usual sleeve (paper) case, like what Shin Ai and her older CD singles have.
Why are her CD/DVD Covers always that ugly (or boring) ?
There are so beautiful pics from her in Magazines etc., but never on any covers. xDD

Do not know what to think of PV.
OP animation for White Album Part 2 was equally as boring and trying to be artsy fartsy as Part 1, though!
Is Nana getting more budget on her PV’s nowadays? The PV reminded me of one of Justin Timberlakes music videos.
@r3 The OP is more Rina orientated for sure, as soon as someone deciphers the Mugen lyrics we might see how the animation ties into the story. To be honest I expected to see a lot more red then that blood scene.
Well, Steel, while the lyrics and animation make more sense together…. Not feeling how they’re clearly trying to be artistic.
Eh, at least the ED has nice watercolours. It’s probably my favourite medium to watch other people use. >___>;
