As a die-hard Mika Nakashima fan, I eagerly awaited the release of this album when it was first announced back in 2005. I got it for Christmas, and I felt this gift was worth more than its weight in gold, so to speak. Although the style here is 100% pure rock, with some heavy metal flavorings on tracks 4 and 5, the lyrics are more complex and realistic than most of today's popular rock bands (Fall Out Boy, Linkin Park, 'Enema of the State'-and-on-era Blink 182, Limp Bizkit, etc.) Best songs on this album: 'Hitoiro' and 'Glamorous Sky' Bottom Line: This in my opinion was the best album released in 2006 by any female artist in any country. I've never seen the 'NANA' movies but now I know why I should.

Customer Reviews
This was a great CD. I just have one problem with it: why wasn't a DVD released along with it? Another music video could have been produced for this, this CD merits more than what its getting!!
This album was the last of the NANA series... The old tracks of Glamorous Sky and Hitoiro singles are really amazing, "Hitoiro" and "Glamorous Sky", two perfect songs for the songstress of the wonderful group BLACK STONES, it suits perfecly with Nana Osaki character. Well... The others song now : BLOWING OUT is just the perfect song for who is searching a powerful rock song, Mika's voice is nice, and the lyrics are great (first part in english and then in japanese). Let's talk about NEGLEST MIND, now ! That's my favorite song of this album, the music is SO G.R.E.A.T, Mika's slow voice and the lyrics are really really wonderful ! The chorus is the better part REAL WORLD is a nice song too, but not my favorite, Mika's voice is just weird with some kinds of background noises O_o.. But, the chorus is really powerful ! Hitoiro(AlTAnative) is the surprise of this album ! The preview didn't sound so well, but.. wow.. This version is almost better than the original song ! Then.. MY WAY ! This song is so funny, Mika looks to have had some fun to record this song ! XD To conclude, THE END is a GREAT album, even if the NANA movement isn't the same as the Glamorous Sky period. You MUST buy it =)
