Nodame Cantabile

Nodame Cantabile is a nice drama. I watched it because a friend recommended it and also because Mine‘s hair is so cute (It’s like the sun!haha!)! Anyway it’s the first time I heard music played by an orchestra(not live though) and I found it really amazing! I especially love the Rhapsody in Blue a musical composition by George Gershwin. Now I’ve been dreaming to watch a real orchestra someday. This J-drama is really inspiring especially if you love music a lot you’ll love to watch this.

Anyway maybe some of you haven’t watched it so I’ll give a brief description about the drama.

Nodame Cantabile

The first episode started with Chiaki, the male protagonist of the story reminiscing his past. He dreams of being a conductor and reuniting with his mentor Sebastiano Vieira. He is a piano student in the Momogaoka College of Music who doesn’t appreciate the musical abilities of everyone in the academy.  He’s talented in violin and piano and lived in different countries when he was young. Though he experienced living abroad he can’t leave Japan because of his phobia in sea and flying when the plane he rode back to Japan crash landed. One night he was drunk and fell asleep outside his apartment. Nodame, another student of  Momogaoka College of Music and the main protagonist of the story who was living door found him. She fell in love and took him inside her apartment. Chiaki woke up with the sound of Nodame playing the piano. He liked the sound of her playing the piano but was disgusted when he realized that he’s sleeping in a room full of garbage. Nodame is very talented in piano and prefers to play by listening to music.  She’s really weird and gluttonous as she sometimes steals her friend’s lunch. Her room is always messy and full of garbage. She takes a bath every other day and washes her hair every three days. Although Nodame is weird and eccentric she’s really nice and helped Chiaki in anyway she could.

This drama is extremely hilarious and cute!
