- Information
Kuroi Namida is Tsuchiya Anna's fourth single, and was used as the third ending theme song to the anime adaption of NANA. While all previous Nana-related releases featured Tsuchiya under the pseudonym "ANNA inspi' NANA (BLACK STONES)", this was slightly changed for the second single, becoming "ANNA TSUCHIYA inspi' NANA (BLACK STONES)". The single was originally planned for a 2007.01.17 release (the same day as OLIVIA's The Cloudy Dreamer mini-album) but was brought forward to 2007.01.10 (presumably due to the massive amount of releases in that week). The song was be broadcast on the anime from 2006.11.08 onwards. The B-side JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH (a Depeche Mode cover) is used as the Nissan March CM song, and the B-side I'm addicted to you is used as an insert song for the NANA anime.
