If Masumi himself/herself is not making the distinction, who are we to choose for him/her?

But he/she can't have it both ways... No fence straddlers. :beaten:

Another forum member has mentioned that Nodame Cantabile is currently aired in Hong Kong. I dropped into the local HMV shop today and found out they are selling the locally pressed version of the OST. The content are, of course, the same except that the name of the songs and the descriptions are all done in Chinese. They even included a rather cheap-looking piano keyboard mobile phone strap. The best thing about this OST is the price - it's going for HKD99, around USD12.8.

and why there's no chiaki-san... and there's nodame-chan...
what's the different between these -san, -chan, -sama, and -kun???

:'( sorry for my 'what kind of a question is that?'... huhu...

"-sama" is very honorific way of speaking to other person, usually to your mentor or idol or master. :naughty:

With "-kun" you could speak to your good friend or childhood friend or girl/boy-friend.

"-san" is a way to speak to person that you don't known to well or just like "Mr./Ms." in English or if he/her is older than you or higher in hierarchy (like upperclassman, your boss) or is your co-worker or even your classmate.

"-chan" is used to children, kawai young girls or for "babe" :metaldevil: (in this last meaning it's not too honorific and a vulgar in all the way)

I wouldn't consider "-chan" vulgar... More like a friendly and/or affectionate reference to someone... Typically towards girls/women... :)

Does it have Chinese subs?

Is this a FujiTV product or just a Chinese bootleg?

If it's a legit FujiTV release, why can't these bums subtitle it it English if they can do it in Chinese???? :grumble: :grumble:

How would you subtitle an OST? :headscratch:

Nodame is indeed being aired on Hong Kong on TV every sunday right now. The CDs are official ones. What people would call "overseas" versions I suppose.
