Filming for "NANA 2," the sequel to last year's hit movie based on the NANA manga, has recently been finished. The movie, starring Mika Nakashima and Yui Ichikawa (replacing Aoi Miyazaki as "Hachi"), opens in theaters on December 9. Director Kentaro Otani has high expectations for the film, aiming to surpass the more than 4 billion yen gross of the first movie.
