Nodame Cantabile

^ One thing I noticed buying from HMV (or Amazon Japan) is that the price you pay fluctuates with the yen-to-dollar price, so you could be paying more than you expected at the time of the actual sale... I found that out when I pre-ordered something and it cost me more than what I first calculated. :( :sweat:

The yen/dollar forex rate = bend over and grab your ankles.

I was going to buy it from yesasia because now dollar is cheaper than yen and it's free shipping for purchase above USD 50, but after calculating it from HMV the difference isn't that significant (and it takes longer for yesasia to arrive), so I decided to buy from HMV

I compared HMV and YesAsia and the total cost is essentially the same for me... :sweat:

Aoi Yuufs voice in gNodame Cantabileh
Posted by HPriest On March - 17 - 2010

Actress Aoi Yuu (24) or at least her voice is going to appear in the second "Nodame Cantabile" movie that is opening soon. They announced today that she is going to dub the young Hungarian woman Jadwi.

Jadwi's actual name is Jadwiga, meaning "mysterious sleeping beauty" and is a popular character in the original manga. She becomes a close friend of Nodame (Ueno Juri) and therefore one of the key characters in the second movie. Both of them meet at the music school they attend in Paris. Jadwi can play the theremin, the first ever electronic music instrument in the world. Her unique character and unique instrument eventually helps Nodame enjoying music again, after she got separated from her beloved piano.

Jadwi has a very fluffy personality. Aoi actually would be the perfect actress for the role, even Ueno already noticed that. "She has a fairy-like, very mysterious aura surrounding her, almost like Aoi Yuu," she said. There were plans to transform Aoi into a foreign girl with the help of make-up, but who knows how that would look like in the end. Now they have a French actress playing that role and Aoi dubbing her in Japanese. "There would be no better person for this," Ueno commented after hearing that Aoi got confirmed for the voice cast.
