Nana Osaki - Inspiration

Inspiration

Her characters, including her facial feature, possibly inspired by Nanase Aikawa, a female singer whose popularity peaked during the 1990s.

In addition to Nanase Aikawa, those two participants, Mika Nakashima and Anna Tsuchiya, were sometimes described as "The Second Nanase" soon after they debuted.

Nana's appearance is influenced by young Ringo Shiina, such as Vivienne Westwood, the number of earrings and the part of the ear pierced earrings, an armor ring, a leopard-spotted hat, etc. Mika Nakashima said that she referred to Shiina's live video Gekokujou Xstasy in creating the role of Nana.

Famous quotes containing the word inspiration:

    Poets should be lawgivers; that is, the boldest lyric inspiration should not chide and insult, but should announce and lead, the civil code, and the day’s work. But now the two things seem irreconcilably parted.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    For a painter, the Mecca of the world, for study, for inspiration and for living is here on this star called Paris. Just look at it, no wonder so many artists have come here and called it home. Brother, if you can’t paint in Paris, you’d better give up and marry the boss’s daughter.
    Alan Jay Lerner (1918–1986)
