Isn't her first language English? She was born in Okinawa, but moved rapidly inside California and then moved back to Japan. So she's half Japanese (people mistaken her by Caucasian), but my mother is Japanese and quarter French but she barely looks Japanese and people think she looks exactly like Olivia o__O ☆
omg yes I agree. She is just as how I pictured Reira to be in real life. And her voice is breathtaking.. I hope they continue the series, especially so I can hear her sing Time After Time.
I'm sure they purposely did it for marketing reasons and because azns freak out over american/euro people and characteristics (round eyes, pale skin, light hair, etc)
I listen to this song very often, because a good friend of me, was drowned while he was working at the shipdock, and i'm still sad about that, I went that afternoon back to home, and there I heard the bad news, I was shocked.
When she speaks English, it sounds really clear and she doesn't have that accent. It's conclusive that she is half Japanese, considering her name, accent, and how she looks. ( She doesn't look 100% Japanese) She fits Reira perfectly then! I don't know if that's correct but, it makes sense right?
Me acuerdo q la primera vez q la escuche como en el cap 21 creo, me puse a llorar, y eso q soy hombre, cuando Nana vuelve a ver al fallecido Ren.(si eso pasa despues)
@HeyDanies ok. i read up on her a bit. she just looks completely caucasian (unless you get a really good look at her), but her father is american and her mother is from Okinawa. her english enunciation and pronunciation is so good, that it surprised me.
Okay, stop talking about Olivia's ethnic origin if you don't want to hear about it. The comments are getting more stupid. Olivia doesn't look White or Japanese. She looks Japanese Eurasian, just like Richard Gere & Chad Michael Murray look Japanese Eurasian. Those of us who are actually eurasian Japanese know alot more about our kind than the rest of you.
That would make no sense seeing that Richard Gere's Father was a mayflower descendant and his mother's maiden name is Tiffany. Think before you type mmkay?
Actually Olivia was born in Okinawa, Japan. She's a native of Japan and she lives in Okinawa now. She's a citizen of Japan, not the USA. Although she lived in the States before, she has full Japanese citizenship.
@flowers12392 Not quite the same as NANA, but try Paradise Kiss and Honey and Clover if you haven't already. H&C is by far the better of the two, but ParaKiss more closely resembles NANA.
OMFG I USED TO NOT LIKE NANA CUS it had sex in it, but it's one of my favourite anime's now <3 This is my favourite songggggguhh as of now. <3 FUCK I LOVE HER.
@clarissess29 I just finished it now. Theres no closure! I feel so sad~ the ending didnt cut it for me. I feel like theres still so much missing, none of my questions were answered. ; ___ ; it's so sad really. I wish she would have hooked up with nobu.
even though i cant understnd a wrod shes sying itz so beautiful i dnt care!! i cnt belive her album was unsuccessful!! shes pretty and talented.. watach nana if u really like her music

When she speaks English, it sounds really clear and she doesn't have that accent. It's conclusive that she is half Japanese, considering her name, accent, and how she looks. ( She doesn't look 100% Japanese) She fits Reira perfectly then! I don't know if that's correct but, it makes sense right?
