Nana Kitade (北出 菜奈)

Seeing as her new album "Bondage" is f'ing awesome, she needs thread here! I think you can categorize her next to Shoko Nakagawa and Aya Hirano. Rock based songs, some ballads, anime tie-ins, but a bit more extreme

Let the discussion begin!

Have you heard of her? If not, grab her new album and let us know what you think. If you already know her, share your favorite songs, special Nana moments, favorite clothing styles and whatnot Like Kitade's music, anything goes! The first song of "Bondage" is amazing, no way you could release something like that in Europe

Was a fan after her single for Full Metal Alchemist. She's really cute too, and the gothloli look isn't overdone and is a fitting look for her. Haven't listened to her in years though, so thanks fo the album!

Sorry to bump this thread, but does anybody have any idea what she's been up to lately? Any new releases? I want some 

[Mucca]

She's in a duo called Loveless that has apparently been playing live on-and-off. No releases that I know of, though.

Nana also has a Twitter account.

Nice way to broaden her horizons and even her fan base. I believe if more known Japanese artists did this, they would make a lot of people happy.

I'm curious about what she'll perform though. Classics like Kesenai Tsumi, Kiss or Kiss and the likes are bound to be part of the tracklist but somehow I think they'll shift it towards promoting Loveless to whom that song on that YouTube video right above belongs to. 

[coachie]

Anyone going to her show?
I'm still unsure, not a big fan of hers, I only like some songs, but if once a year a female artist comes here one should go and to show support and interest so maybe other artists will follow.

And so the European tour begins:
