Nana's acomplishments

[meikyuutie]

Wowzers 5 yrs old... sugoiii >.<

and "spartn voice training"? o.o? nani??

[matteas]

Extremely strict voice training. Her father trained Nana since her young age to become a pro enka singer. She had to practice virtually everyday, even when she didn't feel well or when she had to study for tests. She would always come back home straight after school, so she didn't have time to hang out with friends. Upon coming home, she would go to her father's working place and there she would sing at the top of her voice while her father was using dental drill, compressor, and other loud tools that dentists use. It was very hard on Nana, and she often cried due to that, but she only cried when she was alone so as to not let anyone notice.

Nana talks about her childhood in detail in her autobiography.

A short intro of the autobiography here. Thanks to cc1926!

Just go through the pages for the summary of the chapters

[relmy]

^ thank you for the link to the summaries

[Singy]

Goodness, that was an extremely emotional read T____T. Who knew that chapter summary could be such an experience. Living such a challenging life, with her instructor and father, yet coming out on top and having accomplished everything she set out for...tis' amazing really. Indeed, thanks replaymachine for the link .

Also, who knew that she went to the same high school as Ayu, what an interesting little surprise. xD

Horikoshi High has a LOT of famous students xD I think she was in the same class as Domoto Tsuyoshi of Kinki Kids.

[matteas]

Yeah, Horikoshi High is basically the right choice for talents, idols, singers, and other artists, because they have a class for them in every year that caters for their special needs. I don't mean special needs like in Katawa Shoujo, but loose schedule without strict attendance requirements, etc.

Yeah, she's already come this far. *sniffs*

I've read somewhere (I think it's from icewolf's blog) that her will has been described something like "one direction, one path, one goal". I think it's a baseball term or something...truly admirable indeed.

I though a little about her achievements... You see... All of her #1s come from her seyu status. Which is not correct. She's been training as singer since 5 years old, she really likes to sing, she was dreaming about becoming a singer (and dream of becoming a seyu is quite popular among girls in Japan, but Nana wanted to sing). So yes, she's a singer before she's a seyu. The fact she debuted as seyu was just an unlucky turn of events. And from an ordinary singer perspective Nana's achievements are not so great. That doesn't make her a single bit less outstanding though =) Who cares about titles. She's pretty unique as a person in many ways. Interesting thing large part of this uniqueness comes from her being quite an ordinary woman Being an ordinary man in nowadays showbiz in unique indeed...

She's like a living dream actually. How many times did you think "If I was in his place I wouldn't be a complete asshole as him! I would..." understanding that on the road to that place you would most likely become an asshole just like that man. But Nana did not. An ordinary girl from some backwater town came to the capital to fulfill her dream. Like thousands others did. Yet, unlike those thousands, she fulfilled it and now standing in the light. And this light falls on the same ordinary girl, again unlike many others. And that's her main achievement in my eyes.

Bah it turned out a bit epic... But then again... She IS epic, so it's OK

I like to think of her being a seiyuu as a lucky turn of events. Only few people know about her during her early days, and her fanbase is still growing so when Nanoha aired and became popular, so are the voice actors that come with it. That's why Nanoha holds a special place in Fate's her heart.

If anything her seiyuu career gave her the support of otaku fans which then spilled over to the general public and with the expansion of anime across the world, her name is also dragged along with it because she has many roles (though unfortunately it's been decreasing lately). She may still be branded as just an anisong singer now but it's up to her to overcome that. It's just another hurdle in our dear Nana's life

[amelala]

YA!!!! NANOHA had start moving her fame up!!! >.< that y all the nanoha songs is the most treasure ^^
