Description:
Based on the awarded shoujo manga by Tomoko Ninomiya.

Shinichi Chiaki is the top piano student at his university and an excellent violinist, but Chiaki doesn`t care about playing these instruments as much as he dreams of someday being a conductor. Chiaki, however, has several deeply rooted fears about traveling, and so finds himself "trapped" in Japan. Because he`s trapped, Chiaki starts to question exactly how far he can possibly go in music, especially when he`s passed over again and again for others he thinks are less worthy of musical scholarship and fame.

Recently dumped by his girlfriend for a "sausage" looking fellow, passed over for a chance to go overseas, removed from his star spot in the piano competition because he walked out on his piano instructor, Chiaki is at his limit. This is when he meets Nodame, or Megumi Noda. Nodame is a free — if filthy — spirit who reminds Chiaki that music can be fun. She reminds him what drew him to be a conductor in the first place and, in learning how to deal with Nodame, Chiaki learns how to deal with others. Chiaki begins to realize what is possible for him, even on the tiny island of Japan.

For Nodame, Chiaki is everything she isn`t. Clean, neat, dedicated, studious and inherently arrogant about his accomplishments and capabilities, Chiaki constantly bullies her into being more serious about life. He sees potential in her and her abilities as a pianist that she doesn`t care about. Nodame loves Chiaki and wants to be with him, but, because she`s not serious about her piano studies nor her personal hygiene, Chiaki denies her affections again and again.

But Chiaki and Nodame complete each other in ways no other can, a musical compliment that neither of them can completely escape entirely. Watching them grow as people and musicians, and even as a couple, is an interesting ride.

Nodame is one of my favorite anime~ X3 It is simply so wonderful! I'm not very fond of classical music, but after watching, I wanted to try listening to classics. (in vain.)

I need to watch the dorama...

And Akira Ishida voiced a gay character! *ROLL

Love this show!!! (dorama + anime! haven't read the manga though)

Have you seen the two drama specials? (It's called Nodame Cantabile in Europe or something)

but I have to say, being in the classical music line... if only it worked that way for everyone *SIGH

according to Anime News Network, Nodame Cantabile Paris Chapter will start airing in October!!!

Nodame Cantabile Pari-Hen

ahh I can't wait!!! *LOVE *LOVE *LOVE *LOVE *LOVE

I love Nodame. I thought it stayed true to the manga and brought the characters to 'life' so very well. They looked and sounded just like how I imagined they would. I can't wait for the second season to start. *LOVE
