Well she never had a solo show on a really big stage. And she never had concert only 25 goods either

But I do have some of her concert DVDs and i think most of those have more than 600 ppl.

@omo: hey don’t suddenly make me 31 years old! xD but yeah I got your point.
Have you watched any of her old live DVDs (good luck in finding them lol)? I think the scale is similar. Makkun never had a really big stage before -which I think is better for the fans. Big halls just look good in newspaper/national TV.

@Sebastian: I’d still otagei to Nana eventhough I’m 70 and in a wheelchair suffering from Parkinson’s. xD

Makkun is still in a very good shape, performing full 23 songs with most songs being rock, though I noticed she drinks water every one song lol.

Interesting report bout an excellent and accomplished singer. Before knowing Nana, and even if I never was a “fan” of her, I thought Makkun was the best pop/rock japanese singer I’ve ever know. Now, it’s not that I think that Mizuki is better, it’s just that I like her voice and songs more. But I still remember myself ten years ago listening to Rinbu Revolution and other songs from Okui-san (the ones that were available through Napster, Winmx and other ancient programs).

It makes me wonder how the careers of younger artists (but not THAT younger) are going to be in 5/10 years…are we still going to be here, commenting about them ? I guess this was more a melancholic thought voiced out loud than an actual comment…

For some weird reasons I love Makkun’s slower ballad more than her rocker side.

Same over here!

Man danie i wish you were 10 years older so you could have been writing this 10 years ago back when she played at actual halls and not just holes-in-the-wall... But I'll take what i can get. In some ways i shy away from reading a lot of her older concert coverage because it just make me want it moarrrr (plus the required translation). The girl knows she has fans all over Japan and the world, it just never occurred to her to really reach out to them until she joined JAMPro. Now that she's pretty much in control of her career almost 100%, she's just doing these mini tours once or twice a year to pay the bills and to say hello to her 1000 True Fans... Well, she's got her own vision as to what to do and all. Still going to one of her solo lives is totally on my bucket list XD .-= omo's last blog .. The Nutbladder Ranking: 2010-02 =-.

@amelala: Yes Makkun has been composing most of her own songs since many many years ago. Makkun also composed lots for JAM (mostly rock or slower ones), besides Kage’s crazy epic motto motto.

@Re-Hikari: word. never.

Talk about being even more out of place than usual :p I think the only time Nana will stop selling 25 stuffs is when they stop trying to use her as a cash cow :p (i.e. never =x) .-= Re-Hikari's last blog .. NANA MIZUKI LIVE ACADEMY Photos Are Finally Up!! *ogling* =-.
