“To my surprise, I really like STORIES a lot. I expected it to be a forgettable pop song, but it won me on its first playback. Let’s say (with cheese) that Mugen were depressing, but STORIES made me smile again”

Idem. Nana’s voice in STORIES are indeed relaxing, adding up with the soothing melody..

As for Tenkuu no Canaria, it reminds me of the first time I hear fast-paced Nana’s anisong.. So epic that it’s good and inspirit me up!

I loved both songs really, and I’ve yet to listen Mugen for a second time (yes the pv sucks, but I haven’t given up on that song yet, but sometimes songs you end up loving need several listens).

Anyway, I loved Tenkuu no Canaria’s bass line and of course, Nana’s vocal melodies…Stories, on the other hand, features really nice guitars, a catchy and upbeat chorus and nice strings.

If I had to criticize something just for the kicks, I’d said that the first one would be much better with real drums (I tend to think this way all the time when synth drums kick in) and Stories sounds a little bit average.

By: Nana’s next two song streamed!! « I'd rather drive a Ryvismobile over a Teana or a Subaru.

I guess it’s fair to say that any of these songs are actually outstanding. But… Crap, Nana-chan is singing, who wouldn’t listen.
Anyway, when I have the Single, I guess I get to love these songs, just like the rest of Nana-chan songs xD.

@pure_awesome – we’re talking about THE danie here, of course she’d know it was up for pre-order. Probably was one of the first to do so. Pretty sure she twittered it too…

I hope this single doesn’t set a trend of B-sides becoming what most Nana fans like while the A-sides become more mainstream, because that would mark her actual transition to more mainstream (sharing Nana-sama with more people = bad). On a lighter note though, STORIES definitely made me feel warm and fuzzy as well – that violin part repeating really was a nice touch. Tenkuu no Canaria is definitely a welcome return to the epic that we all know and love. Too bad Mugen was the one that got the PV, one for either of these other two would have been better imo. :/

tenkuu no canaria is indeed typical nana’s anime OP theme song, which is nice! nuff said

STORIES’ melodies are actually just repeating same melodies, but nana’s awsm voice and the soothing lyrics just makes me loving it more and more~<3
