The live-action NANA films, based on Ai Yazawa's manga, will receive their first Blu-ray release in the West. Discotek Media has confirmed that it will release remastered versions of Nana (2005) and Nana 2 (2006) on June 30, 2026, each priced at $24.95. Until now, they had only been available on DVD in the United States, leaving fans with an image quality that was already begging for a generational leap. Extras have not yet been announced, but the news has generated excitement among fans.
Blu-ray Remaster: The Technical Leap the Fandom Deserved 🎬
The new Blu-ray editions will offer a high-definition remaster, allowing viewers to appreciate visual details that were lost on DVD, especially in concert scenes and shots of Tokyo. Discotek Media, known for its work rescuing anime and Asian films, will apply image and sound cleanup without resorting to aggressive filters. In Japan, the first film will have a limited theatrical screening in digital remastered format starting July 11, 2026, in Tokyo, celebrating its 20th anniversary. The restoration aims to preserve the original film texture without falling into artificial saturation.

But no, let's just let the high-definition drama accompany us for another 20 years.
