Are there any Nana songs you really like but find underrated? As in by fans that don't know it or by Nana herself who never performs it?
I think Hime Murasaki - which is an AMAZING, epic, seriously awe-inspiring song - is pretty underrated and if Nana performed it again I'd probably be in TEARS.
Chinmoku no kajitsu and Shounen from Ultimate Diamond also feeled underrated to me, but I think both are good. Chinmoku is epic in Nana's usual way but a bit more toned down and Shounen is just a really chill song to listen to, it's got a particular atmosphere to it... like it's mid-tempo and not too poppy but just kind of 'cool' sounding it.

Oh man, speaking of Ultimate Diamond, ray of change is so underrated. It's one of her best ballads, imo. The performance of it at LIVE GAMES was probably my fave performance of that concert, too.

Ugh, seconding that ray of change one so much. I love ray of change. One of my favourites on ULTIMATE DIAMOND. I also love Shounen, it's so catchy. Really fun live too. Hime Murasaki too ♥
Most old Nana stuff is overlooked in favour of HYBRID UNIVERSE onward. I love The Place of Happiness, Heaven Knows, through the night (catchy in a "this is so cringe and 90s what am I listening too" way), Independent Love Song is AMAZING. I guess Takaramono, although still performed, is kinda overlooked because of Shin Ai.

That's true, the further back through her discography you go, the more obscure it gets. FAKE ANGEL is another great one, one of her best imo, that doesn't seem to get any attention or appreciation. Has she even ever performed it?

@ relmy: Ahh! Another ray of change fan! You have excellent taste The only performance of FAKE ANGEL I know of is at LIVE RAINBOW back in 2005... but maybe there's a more recent one? It is a pretty cool song.

Hime Murasaki is overlooked, it's kinda sad. Futari no Memory and Undercover are also good but I think people doesn't listen to them much.

Ohh, undercover's another one. Such a great song, I really hope more people started to pay attention to it after the LIVE GRACE performance!

I also agree about Hime Murasaki, such a good song but it's still in the top 77 though brilliant star and independent love song iirc is out. Love those songs...

Juujika no Spread and Dragonia are also the rarest one for her to sing Live. Dragonia's a great song to listen to during Chinese New Year the other day xD

Has she even performed Juujika no Spread? ;_; I vaguely recall it being on the LIVE JOURNEY setlist, but I could be wrong.

Only twice if I'm not wrong. During Live Journey (but I didn't see D8) and during that MJ special. That is one awesome song >>

I've been listening to a lot of undercover lately, though I think LIVE GRACE really helped on that front. I wish she would perform Heaven Knows more, I feel like it could shape up into a very intense concert performance. Unless, has she ever performed it? I can't say I'm familiar with Juujika no Spread, though you all make it sound very enticing .

She's performed Heaven Knows quite a few times, actually. It's an amazing song, one of the best from her early days.

^I'll have to try and look for the concerts with them then =3. It is too bad it isn't performed much now, though I guess she's performed it enough that moving onto other songs wasn't a bad thing. It truly is an amazing song, and one of hers that I listen to very frequently now.
Does anyone happen to know/have any of the performances of that song? I'd really love to see a few~
