She is particularly famous for dressing in and designing Gothic Lolita fashion, something that many of her fans have in common with her. Many of her songs were used as anime, TV shows, doramas and movie opening/ending/image themes.
As a child, Kitade wanted to be a singer. She started learning the piano at the age of three and wrote her own lyrics at twelve. In junior high school, she became a fan of Ringo Shiina and learned to play the guitar, traveling frequently to Tokyo for singing lessons.
In February 2002, Kitade passed a Sony Music Japan audition, so she was chosen as the Sapporo area representative and was given the opportunity to debut as a singer.
In March, 2003, the demo which she submitted caught the attention of Susumu Nishikawa, session guitarist and Ringo Shina's sideman at the time of the debut. She signed a deal with SME Records, a subgroup of Sony Music Japan. In August 1 2005 Nana Kitade participated in the Hong Kong Comic Festival 2005.
On October 29, 2003, she debuted with the single Kesenai Tsumi, which was used as the first ending theme song of the popular anime Fullmetal Alchemist. The single was a success, gaining the #14 spot on Oricon and stayed on the charts for twenty-two weeks. With the success of Kesenai Tsumi, Kitade then released Kesenai Tsumi ~raw "breath" track~, which was a slower version of the song which charted the Oricon charts and peaked at #87. Kesenai Tsumi is to date her most successful single yet.
After Kitade's debut single, her CD sales began to steadily decline on the Oricon charts. However, her first album 18 -eighteen- sold fairly well reaching the #15 spot and charting for five weeks. Following the release of her album she released Nana Kitade: -18MOVIES-, which contained videos of all her singles from her album, and live performances from her 1st One man Band Show, Showcasing her album.
After the release of pureness/nanairo (Pureness was used as the ending theme for the anime series Beet the Vandel Buster), Kitade's clothing style began to slowly switch to Gothic Lolita. Her new image was fully revealed with the release of KISS or KISS single, which is her highest ranking single, reaching #11. During the releases of KISS or KISS and Kanashimi no Kizu (ending theme song for PS2 game Fullmetal Alchemist 3 -Kami wo Tsugu Shoujo- her Gothic Lolita clothing was more subtle, but then changed drastically with the release of her eighth single, SLAVE of KISS, which contained a cover of Princess Princess' KISS song, and an English version of her 5th single KISS or KISS.
Although by this time Kitade's popularity had dwindled, interestingly, she developed a small fan base in areas such as The United States, France, Germany, China and Tokyo, gaining the interest of Lolita clothing companies such as BABY, THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT, of which she has repeatedly stated to be her favorite brand. Other than BABY, THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT, Kitade is a regular model in the magazines KERA and the Gothic & Lolita Bible.
