It should be eating his ears instead... They're like two large portabella mushrooms.

Possibly also ear challenged???

Hmm, you didn't bump into Juri-chan when she was in France for Jodan Ja Nai?

These kind of events, plus me being a billionaire, only happen at night during my REM phases.

That holds true for a majority of us here...

Moved.

Haha...my Japanese is really rusty; it's been a while since I took 2 quarters of Japanese while in grad school (and really labored thru the last half of the 2nd qtr as we have to start writing in Japanese). I can basically understand the gist of what is being said if they don't speak too fast, don't use any slangs/jargons, and if I really pay attention. Just so happened that I was able to pick up what Tamaki said (I paid attention because what he said resulted in a huge applause from the staff), but these days I'm just too lazy and mostly rely on reading the subs instead

Speaking of that, in the outtake with Juri-chan and Takenaka Naoto, that guy was talking REALLY fast... He'd put an auctioneer to shame...

Kuroki Yasunori, oboe.

"Bravo....!"

From the FujiTV site:

Meeting Chiaki's mother.

Airplane trauma.

I'm offline for a few days and when I come back there's news of a freaking special!!!! *fangirls* How exciting!!!! This is the best news I've had in some time YAY (yes that shows just how pathetic my life is )
I really hope they do it as well as they did the series

Okay I apologize in advance and I recognize that I am way too old to do this, and besides this it�Ls very uncool, but anyway here it goes:

"Oh my gosh, he�Ls really really handsome!"

If they don't... we could always pretend it never happened! *slaps self for being negative*
I want a nice solid/ tied up ending (not an open one... though saying that the series ending was done very nicely) I find it hard to believe that a team that pulled NC out of the bag could do a bad job... but I will try not to have any expectations just in case

@EstherM - Shame on you *pushes index fingers together coyly* I would never do that... *cough* ... ... ...

I think so as well.

Of course, they must realize it as well and the pressure must be on to live up to the previous 11 episodes before it.

No small task, ne?

Yes here's to hoping they're good at dealing with pressure (unlike me at my work )

Konkuru, stage one.

To be honest, I love Nodame up until the 1st half of the finale. Then we got the obligatory going-around-the-room speeches, closeup shots of every major/minor characters during Beethoven 7th, and then came the crying... It's so unprofessional for a conductor to cry during a performance regardless of the circumstance, but this seems to be the director's style. In Densha Otoko's finale, while people were crying buckets on screen, I was bored to tears
So yeah, I hope they'll do a good job w/ the SP as well
