Finally back from the TW-HK trip! Picture spam will probably be up tomorrow.
Been trying to catch up on all that I've been missing, what with the constant lack of computers and internet...TT^TT A (whimsical?) search turned up a clip which has most likely been making its circles for some time now---Arika-san and Nana together on stage.
To be honest, ikka has been fervently looking for something like this ever since she learnt that they had performed together...and wow. Just wow. Watching the awesomeness of this made me wish I had been there. *sighs*
A source revealed a bit more about the performance, which had a conversation between the 2 singers that were left out of the Youtube clip I think?
Watching the performance, I got the feeling that Nana's voice is actually kinda close to that which can be heard on some of Arika-san's more recent performances, when her vocals were less high as compared to alipro's older days.Though this can be nothing more than a feeling, since ikka ain't musically trained or anything. I still like Arika-san's vocals, and found her deeper tones as compared to the TV-sized/CD recording equally nice. (is looking forward to Grand Finale)
If these two don't duet again next year, the producers are so going to owe the two camps of fans (and those like ikka who like both). *crosses fingers*

{some translation+much leaving out of stuff}
-Nana commented about how her appearance was a "summon" lol, refer to the sparkly part at the clip's start. Arika-san's remark before that on how the audience might be thinking "alipro's doing Seishoujo Ryouiki again" was pretty funny as well ^^
-Nana also talked about how she's wanted to sing together with Arika-san...Arika-san replied that it made her very happy, and so was I too, actually *in bliss*
-The headpiece Nana wore, according to the subject herself, was under Arika-san's [clothing] label O_O
-"When I asked Nana-chan what she wanted to wear, she said she wanted a black dress. When I heard this, I thought, 'if I did too, and both of us wore black, wouldn't I look like a witch'?" ROFL! (bold added by yours truly)
-"Let's trade next time, I want to wear that (points at Nana's dress)"
"I want to try that too (points at Arika-san's dress)"
-"Please do let me sing a song of Nana-chan's next time" ikka wants muchly! (on another note, Nana's response to that---"Really?!"+"yatta" was adorable too ^^ Apparently the crowd went wild at that...
-More proof that Mizuki Nana is da cuteness: she proclaimed everyone present as witnesses to the above (Arika-san's declaration) *giggling*
