Trivia
Azuki NANA's real name is 菅谷绘里(Sugadani Sato) and we've been guessing about her age to no avail. You can often spot her wearing a silver cross necklace (Christian?). She likes to bully Okamoto (erh... seems everybody likes to bully him). NANA provides lyrics for Okamoto's independent albums and also lots of artists under GIZA studio. The main reason NANA joined GC was she fell in love with Yuri's voice and she calls Yuri by the nick 'Yurippe'. NANA and Yuri are close friends in their private life.
On Stage
NANA has that classic elegant expression when she's paying keyboard. As opposed to Furui who also plays the keyboard but more focused on synthesisers and erratic background sound, NANA is in charge of main melodies. Her keyboard talent carries heavy weightage in two songs 'Mizu nai hareta umi e' (the sunny waterless sea, from album 'First Soundscope') and 'Towa wo kakenukeru isshun no bokura' (we who passed the instance of eternity, from album 'Crystallize').
Lyrics
Azuki is famous for her poetic lyrical compositions which tend to border on themes related to death, fickleness and solitude. She also published a photography+anthology titled '80,0' featuring 80 poems and her photography work. For more information, you can check out the lyrics translation page and also 'Azuki' section under discography.
Nick
Azuki(as a pun, which means 'bean' in Japanese), NANA-chan

heavenlypigsty: NANA is a rather established lyricist for GIZA. She's famous for her unique poetical writings which could be hard to decipher at times. Personally I think she's a very smart and energetic person who has a mature outlook in life. There's a lot of grace in her as well.
