As you already know, Nodame Cantabile manga had ended on October 10th, 2009 and, in my opinion, the ending is fairly good although it still have some things hanging around, i.e. Nodame’s dream to have a concert with Chiaki (although Chiaki said it, the scenes of the concert weren’t being drawn), etc. Another opinion, I think the last book of Nodame Cantabile will be the thinest among the others. I really hope Ninomiya sensei could add some extra side stories in the last book when it comes out.

Another thing… Maybe some of you already know that Nodame Cantabile anime had an OVA (original video animation) and it was released on 10th August 2009, along with Nodame Cantabile manga volume 22. This OVA had scenery similar to Nodame Cantabile: Pari-hen. Same style for background image/scenery. So, how’s the story? Here’s the synopsis

The story began with Matsuda Yukihisa walking in Paris airport, very similar to the beginning of the first episode of Nodame Cantabile: Pari-hen. He also was conducting Recyl Orchestra and M Orchestra and he felt that his life is just as perfect as a well planning. After the concert, the orchestra members gathered around in a cafe and they were talking about the Marlet Orchestra new conductor, that’s Chiaki. Later, they praised Chiaki because of his first position in Platini Competition and the fact that he also the only pupil of Franz von Stressemann.

But Matsuda appeared and talked to the orchestra member that he also a number one and he was studied under Kurosawa, not to be mistaken with the name of the film director funny part Well, later the orchestra member said they weren’t comparing him with Chiaki. But Matsuda said to them that even Jean Donnadieu from De Champs Orchestra insignificant in his presence. Then he went out of the cafe.

While walking in the street town, he murmured about the Paris orchestra which in fact to him was too many (he said there were 4 orchestras called “national orchestras”). He also murmured that every year the financing getting lower and lower because of that too many orchestras and he wished that Roux Marlet and De Champs would disappear soon. Later he also pissed off because of Chiaki became the principal of Roux Marlet Orchestra in such a young age (and in fact, younger than him).

After the murmuring, still on the street side, her girlfriend, Mai, called him from Tokyo. He thought that her girlfriend already missed him so much but he was wrong Her girlfriend just want him buy a macaron and a perfume. He replied her that he can’t do it because he was in the way to go to the orchestra. Then she insisted to buy it tomorrow when he didn’t have any activities. After he heard that, he felt angry because no support for him at all.

Then the scene continue to the Recyl Symphony performancing Wagner’s Tannhäuser Overture where Matsuda as the conductor. Chiaki and Kuroki saw the performance and they both agreed that Tannhäuser Overture perfectly fit for Matsuda personality. After the performance, Caroline, a ballerina, said to Matsuda that was her last visit. But Matsuda thought her as his girlfriend and thought her wanted to break up the relationship. Bad news for Matsuda, she wanted to clear out their relationship and she never ever thought that she had a boyfriend (that is Matsuda) though she liked him. So Matsuda was dumped. He murmured again complaining that was not his “future diary” It supposed to be good in Matsuda’s thought.

Later, Chiaki and Kuroki showed up and I think both of them were at there for a quite time allowing them to hear long enough the conversation between Matsuda and Caroline. Chiaki said the Elizabeth fled, laughing at Matsuda’s back. But Matsuda said the opposite, that wasn’t his Elizabeth and later he asked them for drinking. Fastly enough, Kuroki was escaping, said that he wanted prepare his reeds that night. Chiaki also tried to escape Matsuda’s invitation but unfortunately he failed. Matsuda said he wanted to share the secret of success to him.

So, Chiaki and Matsuda now at the bar. Matsuda showed to Chiaki her Elizabeth, that is Mai (the one who called him before) and brag about her being rich and his soon-to-be father in law fanciness of him. In his mind, Matsuda imagined the “future diary” he wants with her that Matsuda really-really imaginative person.

Chiaki then remind him about the idea Matsuda had before (that is, “the secret of success”). But Matsuda reject him and said to him whether he remembered or not the day after the performance of the Rising Star Orchestra. Matsuda said the liquid cheesecake from that time actually unexpectedly delicious. Chiaki then asked him again about the secret of success he wanted to talk about. But Matsuda was escaping, said why he wanted to do that poor Chiaki.

Then Matsuda said, why Chiaki didn’t introduce him with Stressman since he was his pupil or to Chiaki’s father. Chiaki said that’s aside. Chiaki asked him how the Rising Star Orchestra was. Matsuda told him his experience with the orchestra members, especially the passionate-looking of the concert master, that is Takahashi I think he didn’t know that Takahashi is gay. Then he bragged himself to be more mature than Chiaki.

Later, Matsuda asked Chiaki what his girlfriend like, how big her breast is, etc. Chiaki feel annoyed with the conversation asked to leave. Then Matsuda tried to change the topic… which is no other else… he wanted to talked about French women so similar with Stressman.

The scene continue with Chiaki peeping his room, tried to confirm that there were no Nodame inside. Matsuda murmured again that he wanted to take a pee. Then Chiaki let him use his bathroom. Matsuda without hesitation run to the bathroom and release his natural call. Here’s the comedy part… he didn’t know that Nodame taking bath there and she looked at his p**is, targeting like a sniper Matsuda then asked Nodame to come out from her bath tub so he could see hers too but Nodame, of course, wouldn’t. Then they play with the water of the bath tub, trying to defense and offense (just like a tug of war).

Later Chiaki came in and release their fighting. After Nodame and Matsuda at outside, they were argumenting again how Nodame was a weirdo, not normal girl, etc and how Matsuda was a pervert, the unusual way he took a pee, etc. Chiaki who knew the situation and murmured that he will just get the crap a.k.a. the dirty room for his apartment, tried to take Nodame out of his room. But before it happened, Matsuda realise that it was his apartment and how big it is. Later Nodame explained to him that was only Chiaki who have such a big apartment. She also bragged about her being Chiaki’s wife, etc Then Nodame kicked out by Chiaki.

Chiaki then told Matsuda about his no other option for choosing girlfriend and Matsuda laughing at him. A moment later, Mai called Matsuda and asked him insistly to conduct the Fifteen Boys Band. Matsuda later got angry and hanged her call up. Chiaki then asked him to go out of his apartment.

Matsuda later walked alone and a moment later called Caroline. But sadly, Caroline hanged up the telephone. He then realised there were someone following him, that is Takahashi. Then Takahashi, as I expected, tried to convinced him for drinking and sharing stories, and of course, all of it in Matsuda’s room. Matsuda who just have being dumped again by Caroline, without any further thought, accept it (he thought, maybe it’s good to guide a young person who have passion to music like Takahashi).

The scene continue with Mine, Matsumi, and Sagojo in Uraken. Sagojo ordered a hamburger and Mine took it. But later, Mine realised that his father recipe book wasn’t there. Matsumi then pointed out to a notebook on the table. Mine said it seemed not the one. Later the three of them read it and realised that the notebook actually was Matsuda’s diary. Later Matsuda called Uraken and Mine answered it. From the telephone Mine heard strange voice of Takahashi and later he knew that Matsuda being “executed” by Takahashi

And that’s all for this episode.

Hello all!

How are your days going? I hope you are having fun. Mine is ok but with some hiccups. Today, I’m going to add a song lyric which has been captivating for a quite some time. The song is “Konna Ni Chikaku De…” from the animation series “Nodame Cantabile”.

The series is about a girl called Megumi Noda or Nodame. She is a very talented pianist who falls in love with an ambitious musically talented guy called Shinichi Chiaki. She is extremely messy and does not care about hygienic. You will laugh for her foolishness and pity for her innocence.

My friends, you can read more about her and the series here. Now have a look at the some of pictures taken from “Nodame Cantabile”.

Now, let me type down the lyric of “Konna Ni Chikaku De…”. First, I’ll post down the lyric originally written in Japanese and then the one translated to English.

Koi ga setsunai to
Sugu soba de kizuita ano yoru
Datte hoka no dare yori
Anata no koto wo shitteru kara

Itsumo no sarigenai
Yasashisa sae kono mune wo shimetsuketeku

Konna ni konna ni chikaku de mitsumete mo
Doushite doushite tada no tomodachi na no?
Donna ni donna ni tsuyoku omotte itemo
Tsutaerarenai you don’t understand
I’m so in love with you.

"Genki nai yo ne?" to
Anata kara iwareta shunkan
Namida kakusu Akubi de
"Nebusoku ka na?" tte ii wake shita

Ichiban taisetsu na
Hito ni uso wo kasaneteku… ima no watashi

Mainichi mainichi mune ga kurushii kara
Ikutsumo ikutsumo nemurenu yoru wo koe
Hajimete hajimete deatta ano hi ni mata
Modoreru no nara ii no ni…
I’m so in love with you.

"Aishiteru" to tsugetara kitto
Mou nidoto egao ni wa modorenai kamo shirenai
Keredo mo tomodachi no mama tsukuriwarai wa
Kore ijyou, watashi dekinai kara

Honto wa Honto wa zutto suki datta no
Itsudemo itsudemo aishi tsuzuketa no
Anata ni anata ni dodoketai kimochi wo
Aoi sora he to sasayaita
I’m so in love with you.

Konna ni konna ni chikaku de mitsumete mo
Doushite doushite tada no tomodachi na no?
Donna ni donna ni tsuyoku omotte ite mo
Tsutaerarenai you don’t understand
I’m so in love with you.

Now the English translation:

Love is so sad
I realized it that night you were next to me
Cause better than anybody else,
I know you so well

Even your casual kindness
Makes my chest tighten

This, this close I’m watching you
Why, why are we only friends?
No matter how, no matter how strong my feelings are
They don’t reach you. You don’t understand
I’m so in love with you.

"You’re not feeling too good?"
you said, and in that moment
I yawned to hide my tears
"Lack of sleep, maybe?" was my excuse

The lies to my most important person
Keep piling upc that’s the current me

Every day, every day, my heart is in pain
Countless, Countless sleepness nights overcome
That first, that first day we met
It’d be so great if I could return to it
I’m so in love with you.

If I confess that "I love you"
I probably won’t be able to smile again
But to continue as friends, with fake smiles
I can’t take take it any more

The truth is, the truth is I always loved you
Always, always, I kept loving you
To you, to you I want to send these feelings
I whisper them to the blue sky
I’m so in love with you.

This, this close I’m watching you
Why, why are we only friends?
No matter how, no matter how strong my feelings are
They don’t reach you. You don’t understand
I’m so in love with you.

My fellas, I hope you liked it. So, I’m going to end this post here. By the way, do not miss the chance to watch this animation series if any TV channel is broadcasting it. Well, gotta go guys. See you next time. Till then keep enjoying your life.

Seria un crimen si pasase por alto a la buena Nodame y al preocupado Chiaki. Si se trata de Shojo este anime trae a muchas esperando desde el 2006 , tras el inicio del manga , pasando por las series de TV  y  realizándose en el anime.

Si se trata de diferencias  Nodame y Shinichi son una muestra exacta de lo que es blanco y negro , su comedia romántica  nos arrastro por casi todos los sentidos de un  buen y razonable  sentido del humor.

Al fin este 2010 se realiza la emisión de su tercera y ultima  temporada,  a muchos nos resulto casi increíble el ver como este buen manga llego a su fin este 2009. Con el anime a las puertas del 2010 le diremos  Adiós  a nuestra pareja consentida cerrando asi el libro de la pareja mas extraña que se conoció en el mundo de la Música.

next edition : themes for curve 8320…

Nom étrange me direz-vous ? C’est aussi la question que je me suis posé en voyant la page d’accueil d’Angelic Pretty ! Un petit encadré noir, jaune et rouge qui jurait bien avec le rose ambiant du Sweet Angelic Pretty. Je clique donc innocemment sur le lien et tombe sur cette page. Toujours relié au site d’Angelic Pretty, voilà donc deux T-shirt, rose pâle et noir, cinq paires de chaussettes et un tote bag noir, tous imprimés ” Killer Road Virgin ” ou ” KVR “, sachant que la traduction littérale serait quelque chose en rapport avec un tueur, une route et une .. Vierge ? Un peu flou mais ça ne colle pas vraiment avec les jolies broderies dorées et roses .

Alors, pas plus avancée, qu’ets-ce que c’est ? Une date, le 09 Décémbre, un évennement, donc des articles cadeaux surement, ou des dérivés.

Ensuite, arrivée sur cette page, il n’y a pas qu’Angelic Pretty, d’autres articles sont à la vente. Et ensuite, miracle, révélation grâce à ceci !

C’était un film, un film qui sortira donc le 09 Décembre 200ç, un film qui à l’air d’être un sacré évennement mais je ne vois pas vraiment le pitch, mais grâce à ce trailer, je comprends, une histoire de meurtre, une mariée, un espèce de monstre. Plus aucun doute, c’est une bonne comédie à peine absurde que les japonais adorent, et le mieux c’est quand même la prononciation anglais du titre du film ( sachant que je ne comprends pas le japonais, c’ets le seul moment où j’ai ri … ).

Donc maintenant, tout est clair, une fois de plus, c’est la spécialité japonaise, une produit, le film ” Killer Virgin Road ” lancé sur un large nombre de support, c’est qu’ils sont très très très forts à ça nos amis nippons, grand bien leur fasse.

Je peux aussi dire que l’actrice principale est Juri Ueno ( héhé, je l’ai reconnu, je suis fière ! ), une toute jeune actrice de 23 ans ET la future Nodame dans les films Nodame Cantabile I et II prévu pour 2010, A NE PAS RATER !

Voilà donc 20 minutes de tribulations pour élucider ce grand mystère, et qui me conforte sur ma position, je devrais apprendre un peu le japonais … =D

「のだめカンタービレ」は、Marr家御用達の漫画、そしてドラマ。そして、今回は映画になります。前回と前々回までのお話しはこちらを見ていただきたいのですが、この度、映画のウェブサイトが更新されていましたのでご紹介。

予告編で、映画の切り出しが分かります。近年ダメダメな仏マルレ・オケの正指揮者に千秋様が配置される、というシュトレーゼマンとエリーゼの悪だくみから始まり、話が展開していくわけですね。マルレ・オケで苦しむ千秋様。楽しみです（笑）。

オレ様何様千秋様と、超自由奔放系のだめちゃん。Marr家夫妻もそれぞれ系統は同じ（？）というか近しいですので、お互いにもう少し品質を高めて、なおかつ尖れればこうなるんでしょうか？

何はともあれ、前編の公開12月19日が楽しみ！！

I haven’t seen my parents for more than a year now, since our wedding in KL last summer.  So, it was with great excitement and haste that we cleaned the house in anticipation of their arrival.  For 4 weekends in a row, we cleaned, scrubbed and dusted the house.  But with Jessie around, our 9/10-year-old cocker spaniel, the dust and the fur balls magically reappeared the moment we unsullied the place.

So on Friday night, after work, we scurried home to start the cleaning.  It was finally at 9 pm that we were done, and had dinner.

WEEK 1

Saturday, Aug. 22, 2009

I woke up a little after 6:30 am.  Boiled gingko biloba with pearl barley in preparation.  Cut up all the vegetables for the week, marinated the chicken to be baked later and then readied a crock-pot for chicken curry.  After checking that everything was pristine, clean and put away, I finally sat down around 9:30 am.  Their plane was scheduled to arrive at 10 in Newark that morning.  We tracked the plane’s flight on-line and it was behind schedule.  We left the house 15 minutes later.

We reached the airport albeit a stall vehicle on the road, and a changed arrival entrance at the airport. We thought we were late.  My parents were later.  They finally came out from US Customs and Border, flustered, around 11:30 am.  Their mooncakes with yolk were confiscated. Mommy, however, managed to “smuggle” a piece of fresh ginger!

It was a happy reunion.

By the time we got home, my younger sister was there.  We unloaded all the goodies.  There were cookies, bags of heong peng, “fresh” dried shiitake mushrooms, fried ikan bilis (anchovies), dried prawns, normal mooncake without yolk and mooncake with green skin.  There were jewelries from my wedding last year, and jewelries for the wedding this September.  There were red packets strewn around for the making of Chinese lanterns for the wedding decor.

The first thing mommy said was, “Oh boy! Why is your fridge SO packed.”

“Pening!” (headache!)

I told her it’s usually not this full.  It’s just packed for them.

“You wait,” she forewarned.  “I will clean it out.”

I know she will.

That night, after much convincing, we headed to Petite Soochow in Cliffside Park for Shanghainese food.  We waited for almost an hour before we got our table – that was at 5:30 pm.  When the restaurant owner indicated that we were going to get our table soon, we quickly put in our order (kiasu).  We ordered the infamous xiao loong pau, red tofu, fried fresh fish cooked in braised red sauce, pan-fried scallion pancake topped with stir-fried chicken and brinjal and a clay pot lobster with vermicelli.  By the time the food rolled in, we were famished and ate like we haven’t been fed for ages.  (Although we act like that most times)

After dinner, we went food shopping, again.  Not like we weren’t stuffed to the gills and the fridge at home was not bursting at its seams.  We bought cabbage and some chicken for mommy’s mee siam for Sunday’s lunch.

Sunday, Aug. 23, 2009

Woke up pretty early.  Mommy and daddy couldn’t sleep.  Jet lag.

We had our breakfasts and waited for the rest to wake up.  The newly bought groceries from the night before were left in the fridge downstairs.  Both my sisters were still asleep downstairs so mommy couldn’t prep for lunch.

Daddy and I started working on assembling the wedding invites for the dinner in KL, while mommy began ransacking my kitchen.  Like a mole, she burrowed a hole through one food pantry, storing all the dried Chinese food – packaged bak kut teh, herbal soup, peanuts, dried bean curd skins, bubble tea, and the mushrooms.  (as of Friday, she still hasn’t gotten to the other two more food pantries – lucky me?)

With each new item that she pulled out, her criticism turned into exasperation.

“I can’t believe that you kept this thing for so long!”

In my defense, these are all dried goods.  It’s dead.  It’s meant to be kept.

When she found the mushrooms, she was beyond disbelief.

“This is from 2005!” she exclaimed. “I’m not buying you anything anymore!!”

I reasoned with her, “It’s dried.  It’s a fungi. And, how do you know it’s from 2005.  Cheh just went home last October.”

I quietly whispered to my father, “Tongku saang tongku.” (let the mushroom breed mushroom)

My father smiled.

Cheh finally woke up. Daddy and I stopped doing the invites because we didn’t know how to match up the flower to the hole in the card.

We started on the decor. Mommy was still mumbling to herself in the kitchen about mold.  I ran down to get the chicken and vegetable to keep her busy.  That kept her quiet for a little bit.

Assembling the decor was no joke.  Not only was it labor intensive, it was monotonous and required little fingers to work on them.  Child labor.  Cheap labor.

First step cutting the red packets into triangles, which my father had pre-cut in KL.

Second, folding the triangular cut-outs into little cones and gluing it together.

Third, taking five of the cones and gluing each petal together to make one bloom.

Finally, taking twelve of the blooms and gluing it together to make ONE pine-cone ball.

Phew!  One down.  Seven more to go.

As we were getting lethargic from the repetitiveness, mommy called out for lunch!  Saved!  We had fried mee siam, with chilies imported from KL.

After that, my younger sister went back home to NY.  Cheh went apartment hunting.  Mommy and daddy succumbed to sleep and took their naps on the sofa that was calling and pulling them in to slumber.

While they slept, we watched Naruto.

Then I primed the Kidrobot munny with a spray paint.  This will be part of the wedding gift.  Let’s hope it comes out as planned.

That night, we had baked spicy chicken in an array of mixed greens for dinner.

Monday, Aug. 24, 2009

My parents woke up at 6 with me.  While I walked Jessie, fed her and made juice, mommy made little comments here and there.

“So dirty.”

“Drink your juice first before touching the dog,” she stated when I left my juice to brush Jess’ teeth and clean her mouth.

“Jessie, don’t come near me.  I’m clean,” she said while backing away when Jess tried to rub against her.

That morning, they accompanied cheh out to take the bus, while making a stop at Shop-Rite to “check prices.”

My mom spent the rest of the day sweeping the floors in the house.  When I came home from work, she proceeded to let me know how dirty and dusty my house was.  As she spoke, a fur ball rolled along the hallway.

“Aiyoh!  Jessie!”

I just nodded. (All my cleaning and scrubbing down the drain)

We had curry chicken with green beans and wax beans for dinner.  I pulled out the cherries that were saved just for them.

Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2009

Did my normal routine while my parents were up.  The project for the day is raiding the freezer.

They took their morning stroll to Shop-Rite to check for “fresh” food.

When I called home during lunch, I got an earful about the things she found in my freezer.

“Ha! You don’t believe me. There was chicken from ’07!”

She made Ponte Chicken and Siamese meat with candlenut or Indian walnut meshed with pounded chili and Kaffir lime leaves brought from KL.

We ate her “fresh” Ponte chicken for dinner that night.  After dinner, while waiting for mommy to shower, we caught an episode of Bleach. When she came down after her shower, we watched half of “Run Papa Run.”

Wednesday, Aug. 26, 2009

Walked and fed Jess, and juiced my fruits in the morning with mommy standing behind me like a hawk watching my every move.

They had their usual morning walk to Shop-Rite.

Called during lunch and was told that my mom had shined the kettle and was cleaning the ’07 chicken.  She had also rearranged the cabinet under the sink that was filled with recycled plastic bags in disarray.

When I got home, I found her in the backyard, tackling the leaves and weeds and sweeping up debris.

Had chicken stew for dinner.  Finished watching “Run Papa Run” part deux.

Thursday, Aug. 27, 2009

Woke up to a chilly morning. As it was a nice day, Mommy and daddy decided to venture to Wal-Mart and we dropped them off before heading to work.  I told them that there was a little strip mall around the bend that they could look into.

Mommy told me that they were in Wal-Mart for less than an hour.  I guess it is too cheap for her taste. My parents then ventured to the strip mall that I had mentioned earlier.  Instead of looking at the stores, my father gave my mother a tour of the parking lot.

He remarked, “Country bumpkins don’t know what city parking lots look like.”

Mind you, my parents are from a big city too.  Kuala Lumpur (KL) is as big, progressive and busy a city as New York city.  My father was just being sarcastic about my mom’s sheltered upbringing.

They had porridge and fried ikan bilis, from 2005, for lunch.  She told me that it was good.  Aged food DOES taste better.

My father told me that mommy cooked the infamous ’07 chicken, and dubbed it the “007 chicken.”  She also scrubbed out the coffee pot and my juicing machine, making it shine and restoring it to its original glory.

I told my younger sister, if she hasn’t already done so, to clean out her fridge and things she doesn’t want my mother to see or touch.

“Oh… I better put aside my X-rated stuff then,” was her response.

By dinner we all knew what we were having, the 007 drunkard chicken with imported Asian ginger. We washed the old chicken down with bubble tea, while watching Nodame.

Friday, Aug. 28, 2009

What a rainy day!  Mommy couldn’t finish her cleaning of the backyard and garden today.  It was a day of rest until she called me looking for the mortar and pestle.

I left specific instruction, before I left for work, for them to rest.  We were going to have ramen for dinner in Fort Lee.  No cooking.  No cleaning.  I guess there was something really important to pummel.

She called up a second time, this time really frantic – it MUST be something important.  She had yet to find the mortar and pestle.  I finally asked her what she wanted the mortar for.  To clean gingko which she brought from KL.  I told her I have a nut cracker.  She was overjoyed.

Sinopsis:

Shinichi Chiaki y Megumi Noda, alias Nodame, son los protagonistas de esta historia, Chiaki es un excelente pianista, sin embargo él realmente desea ser director de orquesta y estudiar en el extranjero pero debido a un trauma que tiene desde su niñez es incapaz de  viajar en avión o en barco, su vida se encuentra en un punto crítico, insatisfecho con lo que ha logrado, confundido por su futuro y su novia justo en ese momento acaba con la relación que llevaban. A pesar de ello, todo inicia un gracioso cambio cuando en medio de su frustración aparece Nodame; una chica desordenada, sucia  y la única competencia para chiaki a la hora de tocar el piano, ella ‘hace música’ y disfruta cada nota de las melodías. No pasa mucho tiempo  para que Nodame resulte enamorada de Chiaki y este la rechace continuamente debido a su particular personalidad, hasta que llega a darse cuenta de que ella es más interesante de lo que él originalmente pensó.

Mi punto de vista:

El ambiente en el que se desarrolla la serie es muy penetrante, refiriéndome específicamente a la música que logra tener un gran impacto sobre el espectador, la historia se desarrolla de un modo gracioso y al tiempo dramático puesto que cada uno de los personajes posee una característica que resalta sus deseos de éxito en el ámbito musical y la gracia que le brinda el toque de comedia a cada episodio.

Cada composición de personajes como: Beethoven y Mozart al ser interpretadas por las orquestas que tocan en repetidas ocasiones son fascinantes, la emoción que sienten los personajes se transfiere a aquel que escucha y ve cual hermoso espectáculo.

Nodame demuestra cómo a pesar de tocar el piano lo suficientemente bien como para lograr tener un futuro prospero, desea ser maestra en un jardín de niños, lo cual Chiaki por medio de esfuerzo quiere cambiar, ya que el admira el potencial que ella posee, por su parte Chiaki a medida que se desarrrolla la historia alcanza un significativo cambio respecto a la soberbia que lo embarga y los temores que dificultan sus objetivos. Diferentes casos e instrumentos que representan las vivencias de músicos en búsqueda de su realización y cómicas situaciones que hacen de esta serie una obra maestra, personalmente es una de mis preferidas.

Untuk lebih memudahkan teman-teman semuanya, saya bikin review list dan diberi rating skala 1-10 pada tiap drama yang udah saya tonton. Tapi nggak semua pendapat saya sama dengan kalian, karena itu, akan lebih baik kalau temen-temen juga nyari referensi lain. Sekali lagi, ini pendapat pribadi loch ya… jangan ada yang tersinggung. Hehehe.

Judul	Review	Rating (1-10)
14 Sai no Haha	I don’t think Shida Mirai & Miura Haruma make a good pairing in here, tapi cerita yang disediakan bener-bener worth it utk ditonton. Cerita tentang perempuan umur 14 tahun yang harus menjadi ‘mama’ akibat hamil di luar pernikahan.	8.5
33pun Tantei	Kocak abis! Detektif ngaco yang memanjangkan suatu kasus mudah agar ngepas waktunya 33 menit *waktu airing drama tsb* Karena fansubber nge-drop drama ini, terpaksa berhenti nontonnya.	–
A Million Stars Falling from the Sky	Kimutaku bermain sbg cowok playboy yang sering mendapat keuntungan dengan cara memacari para cewek. Ending yang mungkin agak ketebak (mungkin jg nggak) sebenernya agak mengecewakan. Agak draggy dan lambat banget. Not one of my faves of kimutaku.	4
Abarenbo Mama	Aya Ueto jadi mama dadakan karena anak suaminya tiba-tiba muncul. Cukup menghibur cuma nggak nonton sampai selesai karena fansubber nge-drop project ini..	–
Akai Ito	Definitely worth to watch! Perpaduan alur drama yang smooth, suasana sekolah yang hangat, konflik remaja yang khas, dan masalah-masalah yang sering dihadapi remaja bikin drama ini jadi highly recommended. Nggak cheesy sama sekali, (semua dalam batas wajar, nggak lebay). Dan banyak banget pesan moral yang diambil dari sini.	9
Akihabara@Deep	Kalau yang nggak terlalu suka sama dunia otaku (geeky yang terlalu nge-fans sama sesuatu. Biasanya diindikasikan sebagai orang aneh yang agak freak), mendingan jangan ditonton. Tapi sumpah ini drama kocak abis! Cerita tentang 5 (ato 6?? Lupa. Hehe) orang yang terbuang dari masyarakat, ditemukan oleh suatu situs. Akhirnya mereka membentuk grup Akihabara@Deep karena banyak kejadian aneh menimpa Akihabara. Tugas mereka untuk melindungi Akihabara dari orang jahat. Kasusnya menarik, dan yang paling penting kocak banget.	7.5
At Home Dad	Belum selesai nonton, tapi episode pertama cukup menarik. Cerita tentang Kepala Keluarga (Ayah) yang harus tinggal di rumah, sedangkan Ibu bekerja di luar rumah. Satu lagi dari Hirose Abe&Shinohara Ryoko yang kayaknya rekomen untuk ditonton	–
Atashinci no Danshi	Agak cheesy, untuk ukuran drama jepang. Akting Horikita cukup meningkat, tapi yang cukup mengganggu a/ akting Mukai Osamu. Entah ada yang kurang. Cukup kocak, tapi entah kenapa kurang puas, dan segalanya kurang maksimal. IMO sih, tapi banyak yang suka sama drama ini, jadi ya… boleh dicoba. Siapa tau berbeda pendapatnya. J	6
Attention Please!	Dramanya agak episodik, tapi cukup menarik untuk ditonton, mengisahkan kehidupan pramugari. Aya berperan sebagai wanita yang memutuskan jadi pramugari hanya karena orang yang disukainya bilang bahwa ia suka wanita yang pakai seragam pramugari. Walaupun seorang yang tomboy dan vokalis band rock, Aya mencoba untuk mendaftar di perusahaan penerbangan dan tidak disangka diterima! Kehidupan yang sulit pun dimulai…	7.5
Bambino	Cukup menarik, matsujun sebagai seorang koki dari kota kecil di Jepang, dan mengadu peruntungan di Tokyo. Tapi agak klise dan ngebosenin.	5.5
Bloody Monday	Outstanding! Bagi yang suka drama action, polisi, juga hacker, patut dicoba. Alurnya bikin darah mendidih dan cukup addict untuk terus nonton episode selanjutnya. Definitely worth to watch!	9
BOSS	Satu-satunya drama yang menarik perhatian di tahun 2009 ini. Alur, cast, cerita, akting, semuanya nearly perfect! Suka sama joke-joke komedi di sela-sela penyelidikan. Bercerita tentang Boss di kepolisian divisi tindak-balasan yang baru pulang training dr Amerika. Dijanjikan anak buah yang oke dan elit, tapi yang ada malah yang agak aneh dan low-level. Menarik melihat boss yang perfeksionis + anak buah biasa aja bekerja sama. Drama action yang rekomen banget!	10
Celeb to Binbo Taro	Bisa dibilang ini drama paling stereotip tahun ini. Semuanya bisa ditebak, alur cerita yang banyak ditemuin di drama lain, ending yang agak mustahil, Adegan kocak yang dipaksain, dan akting Ueto Aya yang nggak maksimal, bikin drama ini jadi nomor kesekian untuk diselesain. Yang spesial cuma setting dan kostum Aya yang lucu-lucu.	4
Change	Kimutaku jadi presiden! Bagi yang suka politik, patut dan (sangat) disarankan untuk nonton dorama ini! Dan malah sangat disarankan buat politikus yang tukang korup dan kerja setengah-setengah.	8.5
Cat Street	Tanimura kurang pas jadi Aoyama Keito, aktris cilik super cantik&berbakat yang menghilang dari peredaran dan menjadi shut-in person selama 7 tahun karena dikhianati teman baiknya. Cuma cukup worth it buat ditonton.	6
Code Blue	My fave of Yamapi! Setting, cast, alur, soundtrack semuanya hampir sempurna, kecuali Aragaki Yui yang terlihat terlalu muda untuk ukuran dokter umur 26 tahun (not to mention her flawful acting). Agak mirip Grey Anatomy, tapi gw suka cara Jepang mengemas drama kedokteran ini. Cukup memacu semangat untuk nonton. Walau episodik, tiap kasus pasien cukup asik buat ditonton	9
Dance Drill	Oh no! Semuanya salah, kecuali dance yang cukup keren. Amat ngebosenin, karena klimaks dance keren itu ada di episode terakhir, sedangkan konflik yang ada di drama ini nggak terlalu worth it untuk ditonton. But give a big hand for its soundtrack! Uverworld really made a great job.	3
Densha Otoko	Gua cinta dorama ini!! Haha…. Keren banget-nget!! Buat yang suka komedi romantis, rekomen banget nih buat ditonton. Komedinya nggak setengah-setengah. 4 thumbs up!	9.5
Detektif Conan Live Action	Selain cast-nya yang agak-agak ngaco, semuanya cukup asik buat ditonton. Kasusnya juga nggak ada di komik, dan yang penting Shinichinya ganteng dahsyat. Ehehe…..	6
Dragon Zakura	Hiroshi Abe lagi-lagi menggebrak. Banyak cara-cara unik yang diterapkan agar murid didiknya (dari sekolah yang terkenal bego) bisa lulus ujian masuk Todai (Universitas Tokyo). Rekomen nih buat yang mau Snmptn. Hehe….	7.5
Engine	Aneh banget ngeliat Koyuki & Kimutaku ada di satu screen. Cerita tentang si bengal Kimutaku yang sama sekali nggak suka anak kecil. Sejak ia pulang dari Spanyol (ceritanya dia racer), dia agak kaget karena rumahnya tiba-tiba dijadikan panti asuhan oleh Ayahnya (dia nggak suka anak kecil). Tiap episode menarik, selalu nggak sabar ngeliat kelanjutannya, dan akting Kimutaku keren!	8
Galileo Episode Zero	Cerita tentang pertama kalinya Yukawa-sensei bertemu dengan teman lamanya. Kasusnya keren banget. Buat yang suka fisika nggak rugi nih nonton. Tapi yang nggak suka juga cukup enak ditonton, karena penjelasannya jelas banget, nggak kayak guru di sekolah. Hehe…	10
Galileo	Penggemar fisika siap-siap nih! Setiap kasus pembunuhan yang terjadi bisa dijelaskan dengan ilmu fisika dengan ciamiknya oleh Yukawa-sensei. Penjelasannya sangat jelas karena ada percobaannya. Semua kasus menarik karena aneh dan kejahatan tingkat tinggi.	10
GodHand Teru	Tangan tuhan yang nggak pernah gagal dalam satu operasi pun. Sebenernya biasa aja sih untuk ukuran drama kedokteran.	5
Gokusen 1	Ini pengalaman pertama nonton Gokusen. Hahaa…. Berkesan sekali, walau cukup monoton karena tipikal drama yang ‘teratur’. Konflik memuncak, lalu reda di ending setiap episodenya.Yang belum  nonton gokusen, mending nonton yang pertama aja, karena keren dan lebih menyentuh dari yang gokusen 2&3.	7.5
Gokusen 2	Bahkan gw males nyelesainnya.	1.5
Gokusen 3	Masih dengan cerita dan alur yang hampir sama dengan yang 1 & 2. Gw takjub kenapa dorama ini dapet rating tinggi lagi di Jepang. Cukup menarik tapi, karena ada Haruma. Hehe. I’m biassed.	6
Good Luck	Suka sekali sama drama inii! Kimutaku masih fresh dan Shibasaki Kou cantik sekali *walaupun jutek*. Dan yang lebih menarik lagi, bisa tau tentang dunia perpilotan.	8
GTO	Bagi gw ini rajanya dorama sekolah. Haha…. Mungkin tingkat interest-nya sama kayak nonton Jyoou no Kyoushitsu, tapi GTO ini beda aja. Bikin ketagihan dan sekali nonton nggak bisa berhenti. Buat yang belum nonton, cepet nonton karena dijamin nggak bakal nyesel.	10
Hana Kimi Ikemen Paradise	Hiyaaaa…. Ini drama bocor abis! Keren! Semua joke-nya gw suka!! Belum lagi banyak orang ganteng di sini.. Dijamin puas nontonnyaaa! Emang pas adegan yang ada Sano-nya agak lambat, Cuma ketutup lah sama komedinya. Super highly recommended.	9
Hana Yori Dango 1&2	Salah satu drama yang agak overrated. Terlalu melodrama dan klise. Tipikal drama yang terlalu memberi impian pada penonton, Cuma lumayan bagus lah. Dari segi cerita, cast, dan karakter, gw lebih refer nonton ini ketimbang Meteor Garden dan Boys Before Flower *no offense*. Aura jahat ibunya kerasa dan karakternya melekat banget di setiap castnya. Japanese is the best of Hana Yori Dango amongst three versions.	7
Hotaru no Hikari	Aaaaaa! Drama ini bener-bener menarik perhatian sekali! Perpaduan Hotaru yang agak-agak bego dalam urusan cinta dan buchou (manajer) yang super ganteng dan serius-tapi-bisa-juga-bercanda sangat-sangat-sangat sayang dilewatkan. Banyak yang menyayangkan sedikitnya adegan romantis, tapi gestur tubuh dan gerak-gerik mereka berdua cukup untuk menggambarkan chemistry di antara mereka berdua.	10
Hanayome to Papa	Nggak bisa mungkir kalau Satomi Ishihara emang jago akting. Jadi anak umur 20 tahun yang masih digelayuti Bapaknya kemana-mana emang susah, ya. Apalagi Satomi udah kerja! Nah lho!	7
Innocent Love	Cinta antara Kanon dan Junya bener-bener innocent. Akting Horikita agak maksa di sini, apalagi Junya. Cuma ceritanya bagus dan mengharukan, cukup catch your interest, walau cenderung agak lambat. Eternally-nya Utada Hikaru pas banget jadi theme song drama ini.	6.5
Iryu (Team Medical Dragon)	Drama kedokteran yang paling keren yang pernah ada! Bagi yang kuliah di jurusan kedokteran sangat disarankan nonton ini. Semuanya, nearly flawless.	9
Jikou Keisatsu	Belum selesai nontonnya… Ugh agak ngebosenin but still fighting on it.	–
Kanojo to no Tadashi Asobikata	Pantes banget memenangkan kontes menulis skenario, karena alurnya rapi dan cerita yang ditampilkan pun unik. Chemistry Hiro dan — pas banget dan sukaaa banget hiro memperlakukan Hime dengan respect dan manis. <3	10
Kiina	Kanno Miho ciamik banget berperan sebagai detektif wanita yang penampilan luarnya sama sekali nggak keliatan kalo dia detektif. Kiina cenderung ‘selenge’an’, tapi penyelesaiannya semua jitu. Kasus yang terjadi berdasarkan kejanggalan2 yang terjadi di seluruh dunia.	9
Kindaichi Shonen no Jikenbo	Semua Kindaichi Shonen no Jikenbo kereeen! Dari season 1, 2, 3, sampe semua SP-nya. Biar udah ganti pemeran sampe 3 kali, kasusnya tetep outstanding bagi gw.	9.5
Koshonin	Di kepolisian Jepang ada divisi khusus untuk bernegosiasi dengan penjahat. Biasa ditujukan untuk penjahat yang memegang sandera atau penjahat yang membahayakan orang lain. Divisi ini disebut Koshonin. Walau awal episode alurnya agak lambat, tapi selanjutnya memicu adrenalin dengan kasus-kasus keren, dan endingnya apalagi. Mantab!	9
Kurosagi	Banyak yang suka drama ini, tapi entah kenapa gw nggak terlalu suka. Kurosagi ini adalah penipu ulung yang biasa menipu untuk mengambil kembali uang yang dicurangi oleh koruptor (koruptor dalam arti luas lho, nggak Cuma politikus aja. Orang yang makan uang kotor lah).Cuma nggak ada yang spesial somehow. Pairing Yamaki kayaknya terlalu overrated menurut gw. Kalau berharap drama yang lebih seru dan menantang, lebih baik jangan nonton yang ini karena agak ngebosenin dan episodik. Again, this is my personal opinion, you might like it.	5
Last Friend	Waaa! Bikin emosi! Itu kesan gw waktu nonton ini. Maksudnya akting pemain dan jalan cerita bener-bener mencampuradukkan emosi gw. Michiru yang polos-polos annoying, Ruka yang selallu menyimpan masalah sendiri, Eri yang ceria, Takeru yg baik hati, Ogurin si pembangkit suasana, dan Sosuke yang selalu minta ditabok membuat drama ini jadi penuh konflik dan warna. Ending bukan ending unpredictable yang biasa diharapkan oleh banyak penonton, tapi cukup memuaskan. Bener-bener nggak nyesel nonton drama ini.	8
Liar Game	Aargh, nggak ada yang lebih irritating daripada ngeliat orang yang gampang ketipu walau udah berkali-kali ditipu. Heroine-nya agak bodoh di sini, tapi ketolong sama pemeran utama cowoknya yang pinter nipu juga dan aktingnya keren. Selepas dari itu, alur drama ini cukup cepet dan bikin emosi, karena banyak karakter yang ngeselin. Tapi highly recommended kok, karena idenya yang unik.	8
Life	Baru kali ini gw tahan sama drama bullying. Biasanya drama berbau gini bener-bener gw hindari, tapi pendapat gw berubah ngeliat LIFE. Life bener-bener mengocok emosi, karena melihat penindasan yang terjadi di sekolah tapi semua orang dan guru pun seolah tutup mata melihat ini semua. Alurnya juga cepet nggak bertele-tele, jadi membuat kita terus ‘siaga’ ngeliat adegan bully apa selanjutnya. Nice closing though. Sangat direkomendasikan.	9.5
Love Shuffle	Cerita tentang orang yang bosen sama pasangannya dan mencetuskan ide gila untuk bertukar pasangan seminggu sekali. Cukup menarik, dan nggak bisa ditebak.	9q
Majo saiban	Awalnya menurut gw agak aneh dan maksa, tapi lama-lama cukup enjoy. Belum selesai jadi belum bisa ngasih rating	–
Maou	Terlalu dramatis. Haha. Tapi gw suka alurnya. Aktingnya biasa aja, nggak ada yang spesial. Oh, tapi gw lbh suka sama akting Toma-kun daripada Ohno-kun. Entah kenapa. I’m biassed, perhaps. Hehe.	7
Mei-chan no Shitsuji	Ada yang bilang bagus, ada yang bilang jelek. Menurut gw cukup menghibur. Mizushima Hiro ganteng dahhhsyaaat di sini. Akting nggak usah ditanya. Bisa dibilang Hiro cukup berbakat. Tapi what annoys me most was Eikura Nana. Oh, she should do something abour her acting skills. Aktingnya kebanting sama Hiro. Yah… ni drama average lah., karena adegan lucunya boleh juga. J	7.5
Mr Brain	Aaaah, kereeen! Kimutaku is really something! Tiap ada dia artis pendukungnya nggak tanggung-tanggung!! Ada Gackt, Sato Takeru, Nakama Yukie, dll. Selain itu dorama ini membahas banyak tentang otak, dan sudah pasti menarik banget. A must watching list!	10
My Boss My Hero	Ketawa terus ngeliat dorama ini. Nagase Tomoya udah nggak diraguin lagi kalau masalah akting.	8.5
Nodame Cantabile	Chiaki Senpaaaaai!!! Ganteng dahsyat! Komedi yang rada slapstick, tapi gw betah dan suka banget ngeliat joke-joke ala animenya. Bagi beberapa orang mungkin ngeliat drama ini aneh, tapi nggak ada salahnya dicoba, karena drama ini lucu banget!	9.5
Nobuta wo Produce	Selain alurnya yang bikin ngantuk, gw suka ngeliat persahabatan tak-terlihatnya Shuji, Akira, dan Nobuta. Walau banyak yang bilang drama ini the best of yamapi, gw malah jadi ilfil ngeliat dia di sini. Tapi drama yang menyabet 7 penghargaan ini boleh juga dimasukin waiting list.	7
Orange Day	Keren! Kehidupan sehari-hari banget dan banyak nilai moral yang diambil. Suka ngeliat komunikasi Sae dan Kai dengan bahasa isyarat….	9
Oh My Girl	Drama keluarga yang sarat akan pesan moral. Akting si Ann, aktris ciliknya bagus. Cuma mungkin kalau ditonton sekaligus agak bosen.	5.5
Papa to Musume no Nanokakan	Gimana rasanya kalau tukeran tubuh sama papa? Koume dan Papanya nggak begitu akrab, karena itu mereka kelabakan pas tau tubuh mereka ketuker. Papanya, walau agak lebay tapi aktingnya oke jadi cewek remaja. Dan Aragaki Yui… hmmm no comment lah. Entah kenapa gw selalu kecewa sama performa dia.	6.5
Proposal Daisakusen	This is my favorite! Walau gw bukan penggemar Yamapi, tapi boleh dibilang this is the best of him. Aktingnya cukup bagus dibanding drama lainnya. Dan yang paling penting ceritanya yang menyentuh hati dan ending yang bikin penasaran. Jgn lupa nonton Spesialnya untuk tau ending dari kisah Kenzo dan Rei.	8.8
Q.E.D	Mengecewakan : alur lambat, cast kana nggak pas. Lumayan : untung gw penggemar manganya, jadi selamet ditonton sampe akhir dan kasusnya lumayan bagus.	4.5
The Quiz Show	Karena gw belum nonton yang pertama, menurut gw yang ini boleh juga ditonton. Sinopsis bisa dilihat di sini. Sho did a great job!	7
Ryokiteki na Kanojo	Suatu kesalahan My sassy girl diadaptasi jadi drama. Pemeran pendukungnya nggak banget! Dan si Sassy Girl-nya sendiri juga kurang jutek. Agak maksa. Nggak rekomen deh.	3
Rookies	Keren! Keren! Semuanya keren! Cerita tentang sekelompok murid yang merasa terbuang karena mereka nggak bisa main baseball lagi karena suatu kasus. Pihak sekolah pun nggak bersusah payah untuk memperjuangkan hak klub baseball, karena itu mereka jadi anak yang bengal dan kasar. Sampai seorang guru datang….	8
Ryusei no Kizuna	Bilangnya suspense dan action drama, dan gw nunggu sampai episode kesekian dan nggak lebih dari drama keluarga biasa. Dari awal gw mengharap adegan action yang bikin semangat dan deg-degan, tapi nggak gw temuin sampe akhir episode. Karena ekspektasi gw nggak terpenuhi, jadinya gw menganggap drama ini mengecewakan. Tapi, kalau boleh ditilik ulang, dari segi penulisan skenario dan alur, serta akting para pemain, drama ini nggak jelek, bahkan berhasil menerima beberapa penghargaan. Kalau dilihat lagi, memang drama ini bagus dan cukup komedi, tapi gw kecewa karena suspense dan action nggak dibuktikan di situ. Oh… tapi endingnya nggak ketebak. J	5 (based on personal opinion)
Sailor Fuku to Kikanju	Gw suka! Full of violence, karena ini bercerita tentang dunia Yakuza. Yakuza yang disini ini Yakuza yang baik, tapi dalam dunia ini pasti juga ada yang jahat. Ikatan yang terbentuk antara Boss yakuza baru yang masih SMA (diperankan oleh masami nagasawa) dan para yakuza-cukup-baik-hati bener-bener bikin terharu! Gw nangis nonton ini. Hehe…	8
Sappuri	Belum selesai ,,, nggak bisa ngasih komen.	–
Scandal	Seperti yang udah gw ulas, ceritanya bikin ketagihan, dan nggak ketebak! Ending yang bagus, selain itu bikin kita penasaran sama episode selanjutnya. Persahabatan para ibu muda ini benar-benar bikin terharu!	8
Scrap Teacher	Cheesy sekaliii! Kalau Gokusen : Guru yang menyadarkan murid, Scrap teacher : murid yang menyadarkan guru yang nggak kompeten. Terlalu episodik dan bikin bosen.	3
Security Police	Drama polisi yang bikin deg-degan! Hehe! Keren sekali! Pokoknya rekomen banget deh! Oh iya, biar udah tua, Tsutsumi Shinichi ganteng juga ya. Hehe. Not to mention si Inoue Kaoru… hehe	8.5
Seigi no Mikata	Di tengah episode gw sempet mikir, ini goalnya apa? Kenapa si Makiko masih aja wicked dan licik kayak gini? Tapi setelah gw nonton episode terakhir gw jadi ngerti. And I couldn’t help but laughed. Kocak! Sangat kocak! Adek yang nggak bisa nolak permintaan kakaknya dan menderita banget, dan kakak yang nggak sekalipun mau ngalah, perpaduan yang kocak abis! A total hilarious..! Yamada Yuu knows how to look wicked without make herself detestable.	8.5
Shibatora	A Chibi Police. Koike Teppei adalah detektif muda yang ukuran badannya kecil. Cukup menarik, tapi setiap karakter kurang mengeksplore kemampuan akting setiap pemainnya, karena nggak ada karakter yang benar-benar menantang. Untuk kasus, cukup menarik untuk disimak, karena Jepang selalu punya seambrek kasus detektif yang sayang untuk dilewatin.	7.5
Taiyou no Umi no Kyoshitsu	Dorama sekolah yang menarik. Banyak membahas masalah-masalah remaja yang sering sekali muncul di benak kita.	7.9
Tantei Gakuen Q	Lagi-lagi masalah cast. Nggak ada masalah dengan kasusnya. Yang suka baca detektif Q nggak ada salahnya nonton.. J	6
Teppan Shoujo Akane	Nggak tahan nonton saking bosennnya dan berhenti di episode 3. Di sini gw kasih rating untuk memberi gambaran betapa gw kecewanya dengan acara ini.	2
Triangle	Suspense yang cukup menarik. Nggak terlalu banyak adegan action, tapi endingnya diluar dugaan sekali! Salah satu kendala Cuma alurnya yang agak lambat. Boleh juga dimasukin ke watching list.	6.5
Unfair	Mulai nge-fans sama Shinohara Ryoko karena nonton Unfair. Hehe….kereen! Suka sama semuanya. Walau jalan cerita agak mbelibet, nggak mengurangi kekerenannya.	8.5
Voice	Penggemar CSI boleh juga nonton ini. Cerita tentang mahasiswa dari fakultas kedokteran jurusan forensik cukup menarik untuk disimak. Jadi tahu bagaimana cara mereka mengotopsi. Kasus kematian bukan sama sekali kasus pembunuhan, Cuma kasus kematian aneh yang menimbulkan banyak pertanyaan di benak setiap orang. Kaji Daiki, salah satu mahasiswa mampu mengungkap rahasia dibalik kematian individu bahkan jauh lebih dalam dari yang seharusnya ia ungkap. Mengharukan…! T-T	9
Watashitachi no Kyokaso	Dorama yang membahas penindasan (bullying) di Jepang. Setelah nonton ini, gw jadi tertarik untuk mencari info tentang ijime (bahasa jepangnya bullying), apakah separah yang seperti di dorama ini atau nggak. Ternyata memang kasus seperti ini banyak sekali terjadi di Jepang. Terlepas dari itu semua, ternyata maksud yang ingin disampaikan penulis lebih dari ekspektasi gw, dan drama ini jadi turn out really really really good! Nice ending, and I was tearjerker while watching this dorama. T-T Warning : Alur agak lambat. Hehe. Tapi worth it untuk ditonton	8.5
Yamada Taro Monogatari	Nggak terlalu lucu, nggak seperti di manganya. Tapi cukup menghibur. Dari drama ini gw jadi salah satu fan-nya sho sakurai. Huhuhu…. Agak-agak lebay adegannya, tapi gw cukup seneng sih ngeliat drama ini.	6
Yasuko to Kenji	Jenis komedinya hampir sama kayak Yamada Taro, lebay, Cuma gw seneng ngeliatnya… haha…. Cerita tentang adik yang risih karena diawasin terus sama kakaknya, karena mereka tinggal berdua aja. Saat sang adik jatuh cinta, kakaknya malah semakin ngebayang-bayangin sang adik. Cukup menghibur	6.5
Yukan Club	Gw mencoba bertahan nonton drama ini, tapi ini the worst drama I’ve ever seen! Cuma bertahan sampe episode 2, dan nggak berniat ngelanjutin lagi.	1
Zettai Kareshi	Sedikit cheesy dan agak jayuz. Nggak sesuai ekspektasi.	4
Zeni Geba	Nonton ini jadi agak frustasi. Ken’chi proved his brilliance in this drama, karena dia bisa memerankan orang yang begitu setengah matinya mencari uang dan bertekad untuk tidak dikalahkan dengan uang. Di sisi lain dia menderita karena jahat, namun ada sisi angel dalam dirinya yang membuat dia kadang nggak tega untuk berbuat jahat. Miris banget ngeliat endingnya…. Agak ironis. Reccomended!	8

Nodame Cantabile has been the only live-action I’ve watched that has done a perfect job of recreating the manga and a sense of “animated” humor. It is possibly my favorite live-action.

The Official Summary:
Megumi Noda, or “Nodame” is a piano student at Momogaoka College of Music. An extremely talented pianist who wants to be a kindergarten teacher, she prefers playing by ear rather than reading the music score. She is messy and disorganized, takes baths several days apart and loves to eat, sometimes stealing her friend’s lunchbox when it is filled with delicacies.

Shinichi Chiaki is Momogaoka’s top student. Born into a musical family, he is talented in piano and violin and has secret ambitions to become a conductor. An arrogant multi-lingual perfectionist who once lived abroad in the music capitals of the world as a young boy (namely Prague), he is trapped in Japan because of his childhood phobia.

They meet by accident. Nodame quickly falls in love, but it takes much longer for Chiaki to even begin to appreciate Nodame’s unusual qualities. Their relationship causes them both to develop and grow. Along the way, they meet some crazy people (like Masumi, Mine, and Stresemann) and make lasting friendships. Because of Nodame, Chiaki gets the opportunity to lead a student orchestra and begins to have a broader appreciation of people’s musical abilities. Because of Chiaki, Nodame faces her fears and enters a piano competition. Opportunities open up as both begin taking risks, stretching themselves far more than they ever thought possible [...]

The “Nodame Cantabile” movie is going to come out in December this year and now there has been a flood of new details concerning the locations, cast and other stuff.

One of the biggest new locations in the movie is going to be the “capital of music”, Vienna. Actor Tamaki Hiroshi (29) about the location, “I can feel the weight of all the history this city holds and I’m becomming really tense.” Actress Ueno Juri (23) too, “There’s no better place to concentrate than here.” Celebrated musicians like Mozart, Beethoven or Brahms have been active in Vienna and you can find statues of them in the local park.

It’s the first time ever that a Japanese movie is going to be filmed in the historic “Wiener Musikverein” and its golden hall, the same hall where even famous Japanese conductor Ozawa Seiji (73) once made an amazing performance. Now it’s Tamaki who gets the honor to conduct “Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony” for the filming of Nodame. Ueno admired his performance, “He looked so cool. You can feel the power of Chiaki’s (Tamaki) personal growth up he went through up until now.”

Nodame Cantabile: Terceira temporada adiada para 2010

O que? só em 2010?

A terceira temporada de Nodame Cantabile, prevista inicialmente para outubro de 2009, foi adiada para noitamina de janeiro de 2010. “noitamina”, lido ao contrário como “animation”, é o programa de madrugada da Fuji TV reservado para passar anime estilo novela.

O título da nova temporada vai ser Nodame Cantabile Finale e, como pode ser notado, será o final dessa série animada. Há também um episódio OAD no volume 22 do manga previsto para 10 de agosto de 2009.

AnimeBlade

Nossa, que notícia chata.
Agora Nodame está tão longe…
Fazer o que?! Quando ver já é 2010. O Tempo passa (Clássica).

Bom, para quem não sabe Nodame Cantabile é um anime produzido pelo estúdio J.C.Staff (produziu: Honey and Clover, Toradora, Excel Saga) em 2007, que conta a história de trajetória de dois estudantes de música: Chiaki e Nodame.

Shinichi Chiaki é o talentoso no piano e violino (nascido de uma família de músicos), mas o que ele mais quer é ser maestro. Apesar de todo esse talento, ele é bastante arrogante e anti-social. Apesar de tudo, Chiaki se depara com a Nodame.

Megume Noda (é Nodame…) estuda piano e é bastante talentosa, mas possui um estilo diferente, ela precisa ouvir para poder toca e não consegue ler as partituras. Além disso é excêntrica e desleixada ao ponto de deixar sua casa um chiqueiro e não tomar banho por dias.

Os dois são vizinhos, e tudo começa quando a Nodame acha Chiaki na porta do apartamento bêbado, e ela leva para seu apartamento. Chiaki acorda e se assusta com o quarto e sai correndo para o seu apartamento assustado com a podridão. A parti disso, os dois vão se aproximar pouco a pouco conhecendo um ao outro e outros personagens.

O anime foi dirigido por Ken’ichi Kasai (dirigiu: Honey and Clover) Está temporada possui 23 episódio e um especial lançado como extra do dvd.

Baseado no mangá de mesmo nome criado pela Tomoko Ninomiya. Infelizmente o mangá teve uma pausa por Tomoko está doente.
~Espero que ela melhore!! Força!! Tomoko-chan.~
Está em publicação desde 2001 e já foram lançado 21 volumes em formato Tankabon.

Um ano antes do Anime, foi produzida um dorama baseada na série, com 11 episódios, com basicamente com a mesma história.
Em 2008, em janeiro foi produzida Nodame Cantabile Shinshun Special in Europe, com apenas 2 episódios. Em outubro foi lançado a segunda temporada do anime Nodame Cantabile: Paris-Hen que possui 11 episódios.

Uugghhh… I really have to say that there are always bad news for Nodame fans. As you know, not long ago, there is a news about her having acute appendicitis. And now what? The third anime series will be postponed back to January next year, 2010! Damn! That’s too long for awaited Nodame fans! I won’t forgive them if they make it short (well, I prefer to have it more than 20 episodes since the second season had many cut scenes). But… ya, nothing much we can do. Just waiting in patience are all we can do, aren’t we?

The third anime of Nodame Cantabile will be named as Nodame Cantabile: Finale. It will be the last franchise for the anime (oh no!), according to ANN. The anime will taken the Noitamina slot time like previous second season. About the two 2009-2010 live-action films, according to Comic Natalie, it seems the new cast members already been announced. Shosuke Tanihara will act as Matsuda Yukihisa, Nadagi Takeshi as Theo (Le Marlet secretary), and Chad Mullane as Paul (Le Marlet Bason player). And the last one, the manga chapter 132 is scheduled to release on 25th July. You can see the news here.

The adaptation of the manga series Nodame Cantabile by Tomoko Ninomiya will have its 3rd season this January. It will also be the last of the anime franchise. The 3rd season will be titled Nodame Cantabile: Finale and like the Paris Hen, the setting is still in Paris. Originally, the 3rd season will premiere this fall. Anyway, the manga is still on-hold due to Tomoko Ninomiya’s appendicitis.

source: ANN

The official website of Kodansha’s Kiss magazine has announced on Monday that the next issue will not have its scheduled installment of the Nodame Cantabile manga because the manga’s creator, Tomoko Ninomiya, had to be rushed to a hospital. Ninomiya suffered from abdominal pain and high fever while working towards her next deadline, and has been diagnosed with acute appendicitis. She will be unable to work on her manga while she receives treatment.

The magazine’s next issue, which will be this year’s 13th issue, will ship in Japan on June 25. The Nodame Cantabile manga’s return date has not yet been decided, but Tomomiya’s future plans will be announced in Kiss magazine and its official website.

Kodansha had just announced that Ninomiya will launch a new series of short stories called Noda-Can BS (Nodame Cantabile Backstage) in Kodansha’s bimonthly Kiss Plus magazine on August 8. Ninomiya returned to the main Nodame Cantabile manga in March after taking time off to have her baby and recover from carpal tunnel syndrome.

The Nodame Cantabile: Paris anime sequel aired in Japan from October to December, and another television series has been green-lit for this fall. Two live-action films were later announced for release in 2010. The 22nd volume of the Japanese manga will bundle a original animation DVD in August. Del Rey will publish the 16th of the 21 current volumes of the manga in North America next month.
