It’s good to hear that she’s finally getting the recognition she deserves. As for backlash, well, it happens to the best of us. It all depends on how she chooses to handle it. Good luck to her.

> Since her father passed away not so long ago.

That’s so true. Her father passed away last year so it’s a great shame that he won’t be able to see her appear in Kouhaku in person. The only shame in an otherwise great piece of news.

As for backlash for her appearance – there’s still a little, but yes it’s mostly been very positive. This is a testimony in itself though, as this just proves that unlike last years backlash, the majority of the otaku-sphere at least acknowledges her to represent the anisong/akiba sector even though they may not be like us unqestioning and devoting Nanatards.

On her message for Kohaku, it makes me quite sad that she mentioned she used to watch Kohaku with her parents. Since her father passed away not so long ago.

I’m sure all of Nana fans would be happy. She has long conquered Budokan, which is seen as a stepping stone for any singer. It’s a shame it took her this long to get on Kohaku. It’s interesting there isn’t much back slash against her going to main stream, we seem to be celebrating that ‘normal’ people finally reconise her.

I sound too much like a Nanatard…
