i really love this series..i love the nodame and chiaki coupling...i love the journey that they r both going through..it might not be the typical love story that we usually watch, but im very touched by the connection between them...i feel like they r indeed destined to be together..without one another, both would still be lost on what they really want to achieve...nodame helped chiaki to go to abroad, while chiaki is trying to bring out the music talent that nodame possess..im glad there is no annoying third party in this series..i mean we might have the exgf but im glad she's not there to ruin things for my fave couple...it seems like it's ending soon..im going to miss this series for sure...

Yea...Saiko [Hopefully I spelled it right] isn't really a scheming b*tch which is odd for me. It's like she's the opposite, she just kinda handed Chiaki over to Nodame and I get the feeling she might be helping their relationship a little bit too...anyways, I like that although I wish there was more jealousy on Chiaki part but it looks like Kuroki is going to back down soon since he's not the aggressive type anyways. I hope it will have a nice ending...I like the funny scenes where Chiaki hits Nodame and she goes "gyaboo" [that catch phrase might catch on really fast] but I really hope it does not end with something like Chiaki and Nodame walking off into the sunset and then Nodame says something funny about what their kids name should be [like Nodaki or something ] and then Chiaki hits her....that would suck for meclauric wrote:..i mean we might have the exgf but im glad she's not there to ruin things for my fave couple...it seems like it's ending soon..im going to miss this series for sure...

Why don't you go over to Her Website and ask her yourself? 'sinantut' has made it clear she won't be coming back to this forum.TIticamara wrote:Hai everybody, I was just wondering does Siantut has any intention to continue to hardsub this serie after what had happened to her? Thanks.

I wanna see the real noda megumi now.
Wonder what she'd look like.
Does anyone know what is the violin that Mine plays in the drama?
Since Yamaha, owns Japan, I'm guessing it's a Yamaha electric violin.
Either an SV or or EV.
Can anyone pinpoint the exact make and model that he's using?
I'd like to buy one
Maybe you can tell by looking at it. I've tried, but I can't
seem to figure it out.

Most of the time, when the manga is available in English the raws are no longer available to download. Cause, generally, the people who have the raws available are working on translations. They tend to take them down.Vibeke wrote: And also I have a big request: Does someone know where I can download Nodame Cantabile raw manga??

It's only my interpretation of the author's intention so take it with a grain of salt.Kumaxell wrote:Question 1: If hypnosis didn't work for Chiaki-sama before, then what made Nodame so special that it worked when she did it?
According to the manga, and even mentioned in the drama, Chiaki was very resistant to hypnosis. What I think is that Chiaki was very relaxed with Nodame, making it possible for her to hypnotize him.
I'm not trained in music at all so, again, take this with a grain of salt.Question 2: Being music-challenged myself, why is Nodame's performance in the second round a screw up compared to her practice?
The Chopin Etude was meant to be a demonstration of pure technique. However Nodame, because of her childhood experience, was putting too much emotions into the delivery. To those expecting to hear the etude as it was intended by Chopin, Nodame's performance was messy.

I have to admit I love the drama because for me it does exactly what a drama (in my opinion) is supposed to do, it distracts me from my everyday life. I even like the exaggerated humor. But everytime chiaki hits nodame something inside me cringes.
I know it's also exaggerated because the drama is based on a manga. but still I don't like these parts.

Yep, that's mostly the case. Summaries and scans do exist throughout the web though. If you look the right places you'll ge there. I've had some luck. Hopefully, I'll be able to get chapter 16 scans... I can't actually understand Japanese but there's always a helping hand out there hopefully. (I know... I said it twice.)applebear wrote:Most of the time, when the manga is available in English the raws are no longer available to download.

As far as I know 'no' in Japanese means (among other things) 'wild' or 'wilderness' when used in conjunction with other words. On its own it means 'of'/'from'. 'dame', however, is a form of rejection in Japanese and can be loosely considered as 'bad'. 'Nobuta' is not a proper Japanese word. In the drama/manga Akira and Shunji gave Nobuko that name because she said something (I can't remember exactly) about pigs ('buta').8thSin wrote:Anyone notice how young Nodame is the young Nobuta?
Now that I think of it, both names are No-(Japanese word to describe something bad)
What's next? Nobaka? Nodebu?

I know they are just nicknames... I speak Japanese. 'Dame' means failure and 'Buta' means pig or lazy, and they both got those nicks because they were similar to their real names...thtl wrote:As far as I know 'no' in Japanese means (among other things) 'wild' or 'wilderness' when used in conjunction with other words.

Just saying it's weird coincidence is all
So .. the next will be Doraemon live action with Nobita and Giant as well (they'll cast Goro as Nobita and Takuya as Giant for sure ...)
Ah ... btw. I found this guy in akihabara@deep and at that time I thought he's the young version of an actor I know ... just take a look

Yeah ... he could be Tamaki- san no Otoutou ...don't you think so?
His name is Ikuta Toma, we'll see him next year in Hana Yori Dango 2 as Junpei - Tsukushi's boyfriend(?)

he ... he .. he.. Shingo is too gentle ... too "NinxNin" to be Giant ... ... but I've read somewhere that Takuya is more like "Giant" to one of Smap members ... ah I remember Shingo said that Takuya always forgot to give Shingo back the mangas he had borrowed from Shingo ... and he acted like Giant ... or something like that ... well I'm not 'smappie' enough to know the detail ....
....ooops this is Nodame thread ... sory to be off topic ...

I just saw the finale, and it was pretty good
I've always hated 'based on manga' dramas, but this is the first series that I can say I really enjoyed. It was incredibly funny, but not only that, there were also many really great scenes. Gokusen 2's ending was really touching too, but every other scenes stank of cheesiness. Nodame on the other hand, with all the CG felt like watching anime, and wasn't nearly as cheesy. I think they really showed the 'power of love for music' very well too. That's the most important thing in music, and the producers of Nodame did a great job showing that
I can read Chinese thus I downloaded and watched Episodes 1-10, it is one of the best, not just because of the story line but also because of classical music theme! I absolutely LOVE this show!! It is a must watch for this season! It is (I would say, don't slap me for it) better than Hana Yori Dango!
Exactly what I thought!8thSin wrote:I just saw the finale, and it was pretty good
To tell you frankly, since I watched Engine and Swing Girls back then, I always thought Juri was the best choice. Then I started reading the manga a bit, and it felt just right.getsuga wrote:Put Maki aside, how about Aragaki Yui?
As for Aragaki Yui, I've only seen her in My Boss My Hero (Okay, maybe Gal Circle but her part isn't that big) so I don't how to judge her. If I'm given a choice, I think Satomi Ishihara would do the trick. Remember H2 and her clumsiness? Maybe she can act as the messy Nodame.
I wouldn't go that far, as it is the first time Ms. Ueno took the title role (apart from the 1-episode drama "Tsubasa no Oreta Tenshitachi"). It does seem that her spontaneity makes her particularly suited to musical roles, a bit like like Sawajiri Erika whose forte is in dying of terminal sicknesses.expanzee wrote:I agree. She was damn funny in this one. Maybe this is THE drama for Ueno Juri.
Really? From what I've seen in Orange Days and ENGINE, I had impression that her character has been a quiet, traditional girl. I guess she does everything?thtl wrote:I wouldn't go that far, as it is the first time Ms. Ueno took the title role (apart from the 1-episode drama "Tsubasa no Oreta Tenshitachi").

Ms. Ueno is very versatile - from deliciously comical (Nodame) to frightfully uncaring (Tsubasa no Oreta Tenshitachi). She was a convincing high school student (Swing Girls), a modern and carefree teenager (Bokutachi no Sensou), an over common housewife (Kame wo Ogai to Hayaku Oyogu), and a passionate artisan (Rainbow Song).8thSin wrote:Really?

The thing about Ms. Ueno that I loved most was her ability to change her personality (n a role) yet maintaining a very consistent look.
'Title role' means the artiste in question takes the lead role, and usually is the first name the comes off the rolling credits (at the end of the drama). Ms. Ueno's first took title role in "Swing Girls", and the first drama in which she took title role was episode 4 of "Tsubasa no Oreta Tenshitachi".expanzee wrote:I don't know what a title role means, but I've seen her quite a lot before Nodame and she plays various character. That's why I said Nodame is THE drama for Ueno Juri, like maybe Beach Boys for Takashi Sorimachi.
I thought it is too early to decide on THE drama for Ms. Ueno because she is likely to star in many more dramas to come.

I'm inclined to believe that NC is the drama for Juri. I understand that she has a lot of room for growth and she still has a long way to go but it's just this feeling that I have. Comedy is harder to play than dramatic roles. For NC, she has the comedic air about her and most importantly the facial expressions and the way she carries herself as Nodame. I couldn't help myself many times watching her expressions at certain scenes and said that was right on. (Same can be said about Tamaki, Eita and the guy who play Masumi.) I don't think any other actress can play Nodame better than Juri. I don't even hesitate to say that it's a role that Juri was born to play (just like how I think certain artists were born to play a certain roles). By that I mean their portrayal in term of acting ability and look (which is a very important factor) were so fitting that the impressions imprinted so deep that inclination is inevitable. It's the same feeling I have when I think of HK's Idy Chan Yuk Lin for Dragon Lady.thtl wrote: I thought it is too early to decide on THE drama for Ms. Ueno because she is likely to star in many more dramas to come.
I totally agree, I don't think many actress could have pulled it off like ueno did.
I never thought about it but as someone previously pointed out, maki's character in nobuta really did needed that plainess and lack of expression at times. Though she did perform certain joyus occasions really well. As I haven't seen her attempt any overly expressive comedic roles like NC, I guess I should reserve my judgement.
As to comparing the lack of popularity of dramas i'd say the other substances of drama plays too big of a role to draw any conclusions on the actor/actersses skills based soly on difference of popularity. Though clearly I enjoyed NC so much more than teppan, i also realize ueno (MOST LIKELY) isn't as spontaneous and wacky as Nodame IRL.
As much as i'm an aragaki fanboy (you're just going to have to trust me on this) I think she has yet to convince me that she is a very good actress. Yes she did fine in MBMH, but like other dramas i've seen her in (shibuya, gal cir, love letter, dragon sakura, true love) her role wasn't really demanding and yet she looked stiff at times or even ackward maybe its just me.

Sorry, but its been killing me, and after 9 hours of trying to find the song i failed badly, but in the finale episode (and other episodes too) at 44 minutes and 27 seconds, what is the name of that song?!?! It reminds me of the Braveheart theme, but i still cant get the name nor the composer. If anyone knows please help me, i wont be able to go to sleep until i get that song =(

Always ask in D-A first
It's some custom orchestra instrument version (I don't believe it's released) of 「Jupiter」 by Hirahara Ayaka.
PV @ Youtube
This song was really big in 2004, but I think I deleted the MP3 on my computer...

JUPITER!!! actually that version is done by The London Philharmonic Orchestra. The original version of that song was composed by Gustav Holst. He composed that piece in 1915 - 1917 after he spent a night in the mountains looking up at the stars. It is actually part of a 7 movement piece with all of the planets (except for Earth and Pluto because he was on Earth therefore could not see it as a star, and Pluto was too far).
Sorry for my Nodame moment right there, but I know that because I played 3 of the 7 pieces in High School in my own A-Oke =P wow, i am soo losing cool points for forgetting that one. Thanks again 8th, i definitely owe you one =)
