A great piece... I remember it from An American in Paris...

Saw a bit of the drama last night and it looks pretty good... They're airing it here in SoCal, but without subs.

I suppose it's to attract a younger audience, but why do these dramas always have to have some punkish, bleach-blonded pretty boy in the show? Seems ridiculous.

In this case the drama was simply being faithful to the manga (I think), especially since Mine is a rock fan. Moreover Japanese kids/teenagers/youth has been into dying their hair blond for a long time.

Yeah, that's true, but it's so played.

From IiTomo Monday, Oct 16th:

They were guests for a corner in the live show. They suppose to guess a word shown above them. But Juri made a mistake...and saw the word answer first. She was screaming and was so embarrassed. All the hosts protested her and one of the host, Gori said, "Is it really okay to leave/trust the getsuku(primetime) dorama to this girl?? Is it really okay??!". It was very funny^^

Ueno Juri seemed to be a very loud girl, ne. And she likes to hug or cling on the person nearest to her, when she's in an emotional state

Hi Hi! I'm Lysa~ I'm new here so please excuse my noobness.

Anyways! I know it is kinda late to be asking this question but I was just wondering if the softsub posted earlier, is it the softsub for both episode 1 & the SP?

Better late than never...

Welcome to the forum. The SP has not been subbed as far as I know. Episode 2 has only been hard-subbed, but apparently the soft sub will be available soon. Subbing for episode 3 has not been completed yet.

I hope you enjoy this wonderful drama as much as I have.

Aa! Soka~ Thankies! xDxD I haven't watched the drama yet ne, still waiting for the downloads to complete! CAN'T WAIT!

Ano, sumimasen but I have got a problem ne >_<

Somehow the the subtitle timing is kinda off ne. It is faster than the speech. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
I tried re-downloading the softsub again. But it didn't work.

it's probably the timing....i didn't have a prb with it...
perhaps you should look into d/l'ing the hardsub episode.

Come across a footage where some cast members of "Nodame Cantabile" went on a show and were involved in archery:

It's from Ii Tomo Autumn SP October 7th, 2006. They were competing with other FujiTV dramas' casts: Yakusha Damashii casts, BokuAruku casts and Dr. Koto casts. And Nodame group won^^

I've watched this one. I always love Ii Tomo SP ^^
That archery part is my fave, and the miming game too.

Chiaki senpai and the blond punk guy looks really kakoi while aiming at the target! and Ms Ueno seems that or i thought she brought her char. Nodame in that show or does she naturally act like that, but anyway she's still cute and very adorable! all of them are sharp shooters!

oOoo Tamaki was such an ace. I like his look of triumph. He bettered his achievement when he last took part as part of the Top Caster cast!

this dorama looks soooo much fun

yes, i would probably pick this one, as one of my favorites for this j-drama season, and it follows the manga closely, as provided from someone on the threads, thank you for the info.
