Name: Ogawa Mana
Nickname: Ogamana
Born: July 2, 1993
From: Saitama



Could be described as the main vocalist and centre of attention within Canary Club. She’s got one solo single already, she’s given her voice in the anime “Gokujou! Meccha Mote Iinchou” and certainly will be involved in more and more projects in the near future.

I Ogawa~~~~

When I first watched Canary Club's Sweet and Toughness she's the one that first caught my eye~~

Her Solo Single or W/e Earlier this year really made me ~

Addicted this performance of it right now :

Natural Born Performer/Idol she is

[TheCase23]

Mana is straight up adorable!! Definitely the member of CC that catches your eye!!! She needs another solo-single. Suppin Rock was awesome!

[Blu-Cherri]

I'd say she's more equivalent to airi...a young but strong vocalist with a great stage presence.

She is also a fantastic dancer, I could search for the clip tomorrow, it's somewhere in the CC thread of her in a junior dance contest. You can also see she has clearly had ballet training in her performance of...lonely moon? Was called something like that. Her movements are extremely fluid, even though it's only for a second.

yep canary club's star right here. She has an awesome voice. I can't wait to see what comes from her in the future.

[ErikaUmedaFan]

^ Could that be the video your talking about? Its not the one I remember (Apparently Youtube removed it) But when I searched for her name and the competetion on youtube I get this That is the Kanji for her name in front, right?

[Blu-Cherri]

^I haven't seen that exact clip actually! It's the same style dance as the other though harder to see her face here.
In the other clip her hair was down and there are a few times when she looks forward and you can see who it is.

...damn youtube, always removing useful clips ¬__¬

[Alienpyon]

I'd say she's more equivalent to airi...

Quite accurate, but I had in mind the facts that she's the first to have personal singles out and vocal contributions to anime, which make her a parallel to Koha. Other than that, she's more of an Airi, for sure

Ogawa Mana 1st PB!



Release Date: 7/25/09
----

The release date is the same as Tanaka Reina's next PB.

[Tricia]

oh thats cool. Its not really suprising. I'm accually suprised that she's not the first one in NGP to have one.

[Blu-Cherri]

^Well with her age I think it makes sense she wasn't the first one, also with TP being around longer than CC. She was the most likely to get one in CC i'll agree

[Nayok-Kihara]

I didn't know what the title romanization was before: "Nama Mana".

[Blu-Cherri]

doesn't nama mean something like 'pure'?
I know it's used as 'nama cream' for pure cream....

[Nayok-Kihara]

I'm not sure myself. But if it does, "Pure Mana" is a very pretty title~
----

Ogawa Mana in a group called "Magical Sweets" in 2006, before she joined CC.

Nama (Νάμα): Greek word pronounced in exactly the same way, meaning "pure water". Good work Cherri

For the record: Mana (Μάνα) is another Greek word pronounced in exactly the same way, meaning "mother"

So, this PB in my native languare would mean something "Mother of pure water" or "Mom, fetch me some water". Ain't it grand?

Thanks for the heads-up Nayok, I am so buying this PB together with with Reina's. Perfect combo!

[Arche-JoIyO]

Aww I think she's pretty cute Her PV for Meccha Mote I LOVE YOU was kinda... uh can't describe it, but she looked awesomely cute.

LOL fake glasses

[Alienpyon]

^ Well spotted, but I think she does wear glasses in real life as well Either way, glasses are always a plus

[Arche-JoIyO]

^ Do you have any pic of her wearing glasses? I'm curious I've just discovered her so I haven't seen many pictures.

[Nayok-Kihara]

I asked that same question on another forum. So if anyone here happens to have a photo of her in them, I would appreciate it too.

[Alienpyon]

^ & ^^ Almost all of CC's early CD covers show Ogamana wearing glasses (I am pretty sure they were real back then, not just show!). Randomly, I picked two:
