In NANA, yes there are two girls named Nana, who only have their name in common. Nana 1 (whose last name I forget), is a vocalist for Black Stones, and in a relationship with the guitarist, Ren. Nana 2, Komatsu Nana, is just your girl-next-door type of girl whose looking for love while trying to suceed in the fashion industry. (She ends up getting involved with Black Stones' bassist, for the record.)

Komatsu never ends up in either band - Ren moves on from Black Stones to TRAPNEST after a fight with Nana 1, and it just so happens that TRAPNEST also has a female vocalist, if it explains why both TRAPNEST and Black Stones songs have female vocalists at times.

The Love for NANA album is just a tribute to the highly popular series, like there is a tribute album for BECK (though BECK's artists are pretty much all Indies bands). The movie will have a different soundtrack entirely (and you can definitely expect Nakashima Mika singing some of the songs).

Awesome! Thanks for the info :) I did actually do some googling, but didn't come up with too much XD

What's Nana 1's last name? I think in one of the reviews I read they used capitalization to differentiate between them (Nana vs NANA) *cackles*

So Nana 2 goes on to Trapnest? What does she do there, if she doesn't sing?

And that's right! Mika Nakashima plays one of the Nanas in the movie XD Nana 1 I bet.

Komatsu Nana's not in TRAPNEST. She just hangs around with Osaki Nana (aka Nana 2), who hangs around with Ren in TRAPNEST.
