[Discussion] Nodame Cantabile and also its SP in Europe
Here's an article I read over at Anime News Network. Apparently, on the strength of the TV Special, vol 19 of the manga has rebounded into the top 10 selling manga books, even though it is 2 months old.
Japanese Comic Rankings
Given the high ratings, I would think another special is certainly possible.

Though I'd think Hiroshi-kun and Juri-chan would tire of it and move on...
On the other hand, the storyline is still fresh and not a retread like that train wreck Gokusen 2 or the upcoming Gokusen 3.
Bleah.

wow thank siantu for subbing. i must have been a lot of hardwork to sub 4 hours worth of drama.
i finished last night, even though i was kinda hallucinating close to the end. 4 hours is really too much, but i loved every bit of it.
chiaki getting worried about nodame was so sweet. they make the cutest couple. and them fighting was hilarious.
BEST MANGA/ANIME ADAPTION EVER!!!

You are all welcome. Yes it was tiring (actually it is 5 hours airing time in total), but it is worth it. I love the drama. If there is a 2nd season, I will be subbing it again, for sureI. So see you all again for the 2nd season! *crossing my fingers*
PS: I still have many Nodame goods I don't know what to do with them, but I am so busy I couldn't manage to hold a Nodame Contest as I did a few times before. Thtl still has 1 Nodame bag to give as a Prize for a contest hold at my site, though, just as he had done before. I am not sure when he will make use of that.
Anyway, I am very glad that all of you enjoy it.

Specials are always a bit tricky, but these were both great.
I laughed so much........for me it was like a post christmas present because the french of the actors was sooooooooooo hilarious (especially Becky and the guy playing Frank), and also if you know Paris a little bit you will realise that Chiaki's jogging route is surreal, very touristic nevertheless would take him hours and hours to cover all this distance by foot. Since I live in Japan now it was fun to see how Japanese dramas depict Europe.
If anyone knows about dramas that take place in Europe, let me know!

I finally watched the special last night, words leave me to describe how great it was. LOL!
To Siantut: THANK YOU SO MUCH!] for doing the softsubs! Otsukare-sama deshita! Honto ni!
@ blablabla: I thought the same thing! that jogging trip chiaki made was like km after km! Mwahahahaha!
@sarten: I'm with you too on that one, whenever nodame cries I wanna cry too! she's so cute, you just want to pet her and tell her "daijoubu daijoubu it's all gonna be fine".
But I'm glad she finally found a reason to keep playing the piano and studying. Hehehehehe, I've been in that kind of situation, where you enter a class and everyone seems to know a whole lot more than you do, an it's easy to get discouraged, eventually, people either quit or better themselves, I decided to hit the books (in my case) and keep studying for the sake of enjoying it. I'm glad I did.
Chiaki entering the hentai no mori was the funniest, because he's so square and dry... I have the sneaking suspicion he's gonna become a breast size hentai himself. Muwahahahaha! (even though I kinda disagree with the hentai label he uses to describe nodame, she's just a sweet girl in touch with her physical needs, that's all )

Manga of Nodame Cantabile up to v17 for download
If anyone of you are is still looking for Nodame Cantabile scanlations, you guys can get it on my site at http://goldlilys.110mb.com or just click on my signature picture below V .
And thanks to siantut for subbing the entire Nodame Cantabile drama. To this day, I've only watched the drama of it and not the anime nor read the manga. Reading all the comments, it seems the drama ends around v15 so I would need to read the manga where the drama left off.
Everything about the drama and storyline is just so perfect. I love the characters and the music. Haha true, Nodame will always be Nodame, but I didn't know Ueno Juri also acts like her drama counterpart. I would like to see a video of that. Anyone know?
And Chiaki is still so cool even though very stubborn at times.

Was it just me or did the dubbing destroy the SP's horribly? I mean, it was just fine when they spoke french or german, why did they have to dub it? It's not like it's hard to read subtitles. I would understand if their major audience were old people, but it isin't! It's teenagers and 20/30-something people.
Just ridiculous...
They let Professor O'claire speak french in the TV-series.. let him speak again dammit!

They were trying to be nice and didn't want to burden the viewers with reading the subtitles...
Little did they know that subtitles would appear after fansubbing.
I was just speculating since more than half of all european countries dub mainly cause the old people can't read the subtitles (Or having trouble with it cause it's so fast), and of course toddlers. It's a bit of a "respect" thing as well...bmwracer wrote:It has nothing to do with age.nanorie wrote:Was it just me or did the dubbing destroy the SP's horribly?

The overwhelming majority of Japanese people speak only Japanese (despite studying English all through school). It is a very different environment than Europe, especially Sweden. I doubt the average Japanese viewer would tolerate more than a smattering of subtitles before switching channels. They are no different than most Americans in this. (Those of us on this forum are *not* typical TV viewers, almost by definition. )nanorie wrote: I was just speculating since more than half of all european countries dub mainly cause the old people can't read the subtitles
BTW: I am pretty sure that for this special, they had the European actors mouth Japanese words and then dub artists came in and did their best to sync up. It was a bit like anime in this regard and not really a straight dub. (There were a couple of exceptions, for example Viera, who apparently was actually speaking Czech.)
Being raised with swe subtitles whenever there's a foreign TV-show/film, I just can't understand why they find it so hard to read subtitles in their own language. It's not like they dub EVERYTHING. They show subtitles in cinemas in Japan, why not telly?musotaku wrote:The overwhelming majority of Japanese people speak only Japanese (despite studying English all through school).

Yeah, you could see that the orchestra people speak french (supposely) with their mouths..
I would be kind of annoyed if I starred in a foreign drama and they dubbed my voice. Kind of creepy when you think about it, watching yourself with another persons voice.
I remember from my 5-week stay in Sweden that Swedish TV has a tremendous percentage of foreign film and TV. It seemed like well over 50%, most of which was English language. Indeed, my Swedish friends tell me that that's how it happens that nearly all Swedes speak English exceedingly well.nanorie wrote:Being raised with swe subtitles whenever there's a foreign TV-show/film
Japan is just not the same. It is much more like America. Very little TV is not either natively in Japanese or dubbed into Japanese. I never saw a film in Japan, so I can't really say what the percentage of film is like. They certainly have American films there, but whether they use dub or sub I don't know.

You can say that again: I hate it when they dub the DVD Anime releases of movies like Princess Mononoke or Kiki's Delivery Service, because Americans (apparently) can't read text on a screen for any sustained amount of time... Like more than a few minutes.musotaku wrote: They are no different than most Americans in this.

hayaiii...
yappps... .thank yoouuuu!!
well actually, I am also curious about that song, which is played almost at the end of the first part of the SP, when Chiaki hugs Nodame... we can hear a woman's voice, too.
I have already listened Till Eulespiegel and Ravel's Alborado del Gracioso (Noda plays it at the beginning in Chiakai's room) and I love them. It is fantastic to realise the difference between "Nodame's" playing technic and the original playing style.
They made a great job!
(I hope the OST of the SP will be out soon... )
"O mio babbino caro" from Puccini's opera "Gianni Schicci".wuff wrote:I am also curious about that song, which is played almost at the end of the first part of the SP, when Chiaki hugs Nodame...
It is probably the most famous aria from that opera, and it has been used many times in films and TV. (One such film is "A Room with a View.")
It sounds so much like a love song, and that's how it nearly always appears in film (including NC), but it is in fact a song of affection sung by a daughter to her father. The title in English is "O my dearest daddy."
oh dear! it was very fast!!! thank you very much!!!
now you have mentioned the room with a view, I remember, though I didn't know the title of this song and I think I haven't listened or watched this opera... so I have -finally- something exact to fill the gaps in my classical knowledge... thank you very much, once again!
anyway, musotaku! you make me jealous! I also want know so much about music!!!
( 2 weeks ago, I had an exam from Music histroy and the teacher/professor was amazing! My friend and I studied only exceptions for the exam about Beethoven, Haydn, etc. but he knows everything!!! We couldn't tell anything special to him. We wanted to test him, but we failed... what an embarrassing story... )

woahhh, it was such a long spoiler!!!
Somebody has already said that Ueno Juri and Tamaki Hiroshi would be tired of another Nodame season. I would understand their feelings, but I think it would be a great idea, if both of them would appear in a new drama together... Well, what I want to say that I like all their dramas and movies.

But remember, Nodame and Chiaki are aging as well. If the wiki here is correct, Ueno is only 22 this year, yet in the manga Nodame is already 24. Tamaki is definitely older (twenty-eight), but that's only 2-3 years older than Chiaki at this point. I don't see it as a big deal, esp. if they create a new special by summer of 09 (which is the soonest I could imagine it happening).OmegaWeltall wrote:I have different concern regarding Tamaki-kun and Juri-chan reprising their roles for future stories: by then, they both may have been too old...
I like your analysis of the manga as a symphony. I feel the manga right now is right in the middle where there is still no light at the end of the tunnel. It is the diciest moment for Chiaki and Nodame, when they could be in serious danger of breaking up. It reminds me of one of my other favorite mangas, Maison Ikkoku. The summer of Godai's junior year of college he and Kyoko seriously came within inches of going their separate ways. It was only Godai's grandmother that saved them. I wonder who could save Nodame and Chiaki.
The manga is right at that end-of-the-middle moment, when everything seems really muddled. But even so, I hope it goes another 19 volumes.

I really hold those people in veneration, who can understand music so perfectly that they find (or realize mainly) the real meaning or story beside the everyday occurrences. I always like listening their opinion, tales and reality. Thus I am really happy for being able to read -all my friends here- your thoughts.
I hope the same that there will be another 19 volumes in the future and they will be available for those (like me ) who can't buy the mangas, just read them online or download the scans.

Yes, another 19 volumes, please, but with a happy-ending. Because.... eventhough I have faith that the Golden Pair moment is just a matter of time and the series will end in happy tone, I haven't ruled out "tragedy" for Nodame Cantabile. Recently, our Golden Pair reminds me of Robert and Clara Schumann (Clara Wieck), a composer, conductor, music critic and theorist and his incredible-pianist wife. And Lucas struck me as Brahms-like character in the picture, having close (and respectable affection) relationship with Mrs. Schumann. Anyway, I hope the similarities stop right there because Robert Schumann suffered many physical and mental illness, and had an early death.... Oh, well.musotaku wrote:I like your analysis of the manga as a symphony. I feel the manga right now is right in the middle where there is still no light at the end of the tunnel.

Another 19 volumes might mean reading them up to their 30s? I don't mind that. Their journey so far has been engaging.

^OmegaWeltall, my sentiments exactly!!!
wow. thanks for that trivia. i hope not too. but no i don't like another 19 volumes of Nodame. I'm so sorry, i don't have that kind of patience. if their relationship is still like that when they're in their 30s, i won't call it a romantic relationship at all. it would be something like a really close friendship...with benefits.

i don't think i have mentioned this before, i think the writers of the SP did a great job in summarizing the chapters including changing some parts to fit the special, like Nodame flipping her hair like Son Rui, Chiaki hugging Nodame instead of kissing her, using Kuroki to substitute Yunlong, etc.
@musotaku:
oh btw, i am enjoying reading your comments and insights. thanks!
i just read about Robert, Clara, & Brahms as mentioned by OmegaWeltall. it's quite tragic really: "Also, the proximity of their two pianos often made it impossible for Robert and Clara to work at home simultaneously; they distracted each other."
I hope we're wrong in thinking that this might be a parallel to Nodame Cantabile.

I should say too... It's been fun discussing the manga here with you guys...
Among the manga/manhwa/book-adapted doramas/k-dramas I've seen so far (not much, but I've watched major ones in these past two years), Nodame Cantabile (dorama+specials) tops the chart. The scriptwriting definitely deserves the credit. I normally fret over manga/book adaptations for their "summarizing" and alteration, but I'm content with Nodame Cantabile's. There are parts that I would've liked to see in both dorama and specials: the "jazzier" Nodame, Nodame's interesting viewpoint of "proper curry" and Bach's formality, Chiaki's family background of course. But considering the time and space constraint, I "forgive" the production...
I read that Ninomiya-sensei is deeply involved in the process. I wonder if it's because the dorama concerns "classical" music, which means... playing by following the score (manga) as written and intended by the composer....

You guys might want to check out this website:
http://www.din.or.jp/~nino/main.html
Clicking on the Information link takes you to a blog-page in Japanese that shows all the Nodame calendar events for this month all the way back to August. Some of the entries are in English, though, especially the listings for each new chapter of NC as it appears in Kiss. (This month will see the publication of Lessons 119 and 120.) Ninomiya seems to be on a 2 chapters per month roll recently.
The last chapter of v. 19 was Lesson 112, which appeared in Kiss in late August. V. 19 appeared in early Nov. On that schedule we might expect to see v. 20 in early March, since Lesson 118 was in Kiss in late Dec. (I'm assuming they stay with the 6-lessons-per-book format.)
BTW: the Info page also shows lots of non-manga events, like the Jan. SP dorama. Also concerts of NC music, and the release of a NC game for the Wii. Most of those entries are in Japanese, though.

^The series and special DID HAPPEN in the manga. the spoilers above, happened AFTER the Special.
the series and special was faithful to the manga except for some really tiny tiny things. in my opinion, they (series & SP writers) did a great job summarizing the manga. you may still want to read the manga if you want; if you do so, there will be additional entertaining info.

Hi everyone!
I recently watch the SP in Europe and it was fabulous. Not to mention how greatly done the soft sub in English which I downloaded from here.
Anyway, has there been any news of the second season for Nodame Cantabile? I haven't really heard anything about a next season. Would anyone like to shed some light for me on that?
Cheers
S. Elysium

I watched the Grammy performance of Herbie Hancock and Lang Lang, the Chinese classical pianist, performing Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" with orchestra , and I couldn't help smiling, thinking of "Nodame Cantabile".... about the possible Golden Pair performing the same piece with New York Philharmonic....
Hahaha. This manga & dorama have infiltrated my musical space..........

Real Conductor whose professional career matches Chiaki's
CBS 60 Minutes last week ran a segment on the 27-yr-old Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel who has just been named the new director of the LA Phil. The 1st part of the segment is at
http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/i_video ... d=3841774n
Dudamel's professional career matches Chiaki's in many ways. He was a child prodigy on the violin who wanted to be a conductor. He started out conducting his youth orchestra. He won an important conducting prize at an unusually young age, and suddenly his international career took off.
His personal story is quite different. (He grew up on the mean streets.)
One of the coolest scenes in the 60 Minutes segment is when Dudamel is rehearsing with the Vienna Phil, and watching the jaded old farts in that orchestra warm up to the fact that he is more than just another young upstart. It reminds a lot of various scenes in NC, especially NC in Europe, although Chiaki's style is quite different than Dudamel's.
Anyway, enjoy.
