That looks promising! I wish I was in Japan right now :shamefulcry:

by the way everyone, I was randomly searching for Nodame Cantabile videos on youtube and I found this nice MV made by one of the fans, the song fits well too xD

But the music should have been classical... :)

Guess I'm pickier. :ashamed:

Anyone want to discuss favorite characters? :victory:

I can't choose one!!! They're all so good and so strong and so well developed!! I like all of them for special reasons--even Saiko!! Of course...I like Chiaki the most...he's so funny and obnoxious...(‚»‚µ‚āAŠiD‚¢‚¢II). I like Nodame because the more I watch the series, the more I'm convinced it's about Me...and I like the other characters for tons of reasons. Kuroki because he's so sweet and gentle. Kikuchi because--he's a cellist! And he's funny--no matter what mess he's in, he just requests for cello concerto!!!! :dancing: I secretly hoped they'd perform cello concerto because I hoped to hear the cello!!! (Though...we got to hear the 1994 recording of the Ma rendition of the Saint-Saens Cello Concerto No. 1, Op. 33 in A Minor in episode 6--it becomes Saiko's theme!!! --in a way...). But on the subject of Saiko--I like her because, all though she's a bit sorry in the beginning--split from Chiaki but still in denial, in the end, she sees Nodame's sincerity and supports her, knowing her position. The transition, character dynamic--it was all so powerful!! And Mine and Masumi too! Mine reminds me of so many students in music--perhaps even myself, in some ways. And Masumi is the representation of hope and frustration at once. He's a brilliant timpanist, but so wrongly thwarted in so many places. That's definitely an important character. And I LOVED Kiyora's role--especially when she was first introduced to Mine! 'S-Oke no kon-masu.' And then she says bluntly after an expressionless stare at the idle Mine: 'Sou.' Truncated, CLASSICAL!!! I never not laughed at that scene!!! Kyaa!! So long already!! Sorry, everyone!!! :bow:

It's gotta be Nodame... Talented, sweet, messy, sloppy, adorable, goofy, kooky, considerate, carefree, and sooo cute... :smitten:

The RS-Oke performed this piece in their New Year's concert in the anime. Kikuchi, the lucky and cheating SOB, was the soloist.
