I dunno 'bout the manga..

But Juri-chan said in some magazine interview that they'll first start filming in Japan, then Europe ... :-)

From blogs (May 26th):

"Nodame movie started its filming today, but Juri-chan's not there..
Shot a 3-minute scene for 8 hours, what a movie!
The conductor is Tanihara Shosuke...."

Honestly, both. :)

I think it's an excellent drama... The fact that it can stand multiple viewings with no loss of enjoyment is a testament to its production quality and acting performances. :thumright:

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade; I love the manga and the drama as well but there's only about 7 volumes of material (I've read up to vol. 21) since the SP and the story's nowhere near as interesting. 1 movie is barely doable; 2 will really be a big stretch.

Ninomiya was on a maternity leave last year and she was recently diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome, so I suspect a large part of the script will be based on original material. One of the best part of Nodame is the music, and this is where Ninomiya's extensive research on the classical genre really paid dividends. Given the fact that the writer of the movies is the same as the one for the drama/SP and his prior work was Last Dance :pale: , I'm really apprehensive as to how well he can choose the appropriate musical pieces (I'm sure he'll have help) and integrate them seamlessly into the story.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

The scriptwriter didn't pick the musical pieces, Ninomiya did (and the incidental music in the drama was chosen by someone else).

I think the script is not completely done yet..From the latest mag interview, Juri-chan said she doesn't even know the ending of the story since Ninomiya sensei is still continuing the manga.... Besides, I thought they expand the movie into two because there are too many things to deliver...:unsure: No matter what, I hope the movies will be as good as the drama/SP..

My hopes are high. The live-action adaptation seems to be the best of the bunch. The anime's too low-budget, and I gave up on the manga long ago because, once the gang went to Europe, the story started heading nowhere--fast.

I felt the same way about the anime version: it didn't seem nearly as animated (no pun intended) and lively as the live action version, which is nonpareil. :thumright:

I started to watch the anime AFTER watching the drama and I couldn't finish the anime. For the few episodes that I watched I couldn't help but thinking that it wasn't as FUN as the live action.

Oh man, I just started reading the past few pages and wow have I been out of the loop. They're making a movie?!?!? Two of them?!!? YAY this is so exciting!!! :lol

For me, one of the most enjoyable parts of the series was the music. I hope they make good choices with the music.

Sorry I meant Slow Dance, the drama that starred Fukatsu Eri and Tsumabuki Satoshi. Every time I tried to finish it, I ended up :sleeping: so I eventually gave up.

I thought the story was still pretty interesting until the end of what transpired in the SP. As per above the writer doesn't exactly instill confidence in me; I love the drama though so I'm also hoping for the best. :pray:

Someone saw Chiaki senpai look-alike in Eiffel Tower 2 days ago. After finished the orchestra filming in Vienna, etc., they gonna film the daily scene in Paris (I think). I don't follow the manga, so it's hard to say. WIll tell you if there's any info 'bout it. :-)

Today, there's a report seeing Juri-chan filming in Paris, taken from Mixi blog. I'll just translate what the blogger stated in her blog.

On my way back home, I discovered a tv or movie shooting crew in front of me.
Ah! That.....Wasn't she the heroine of Nodame Cantabile, Ueno Juri san!!
There were also French madam and cheese, also a goat....What?
Looks like they were puzzled by the goat's acting. CM? Or Nodame?
I felt a little lucky at the moment. The picture was taken from a strange view/corner afar.
Seems like the shooting was started from the scene of burying the head under aunt's knee, why was that taken?
I only took this one picture...
Wearing the pink cloth is Juri-chan. (No face shown!!)

More here! One picture that I can't disclose here. Sumimasen.
[NEWS] Nodame is in PARIS!!

The apartment Nodame and Chiaki stayed in Paris is actually the Taiwan Representative office in Paris.

I guess it's not impossible to see them there. :P

The Nodame Orchestra will be holding their 6th concert at The International Forum located in Tokyo on 31 October and 1 November. The orchestra was formed in 2006 when the drama adaptation was shown on TV and consists of musicians who were selected through a public audition. The upcoming concerts are held in conjunction with the impending release of the Nodame Cantabile movies as Part 1 is due to be screened from 19 December. Fans will get to hear the music pieces from the movie first through the concert. Tickets go on sale from 5 September.

I can't do torrents, but I badly want a copy of this. Is there anyone who is thinking of releasing it here in the states?

Such a brilliant story.

I am looking forward to the movie too. I have been following the manga.... Chiaki is finally getting his act together, but it seems as if Nodame has moved on. I am hoping very much that this has a good ending finally.

Such a brilliant story.

I am looking forward to the movie too. I have been following the manga.... Chiaki is finally getting his act together, but it seems as if Nodame has moved on. I am hoping very much that this has a good ending finally.
Have you checked eBay?

I have seen Season 1 and the SP available there... Probably bootlegs, though.

There's also the DailyMotion site, but each episode is divided up into smaller pieces (for easier downloading, I think).

Ahhhh! I'm so glad to see this thread is alive and well...This is only my second time posting but I just have to because this drama was AMAZINGGGG. Ok, forgive me while I ramble...

First of all, I had just finished watching a reallyyyy depressing drama and Nodame Cantabile was just what i needed to get over it. It's so ironic because I hadn't planned on watching this at all; I read "musicians" in the description and automatically assumed that it would be run-of-the-mill tortured artist scenario. I WAS WRONG. SO. SO WRONG. I searched around for people's favorite happy dramas, and even though everyone raved about NC, I still avoided it. Only after days of putting it off did I finally just give in and watch - with low expectations.

But man. It blew me away. First of all, it was so funny! This is the only drama that ever got me laughing out loud in spite of myself. The facial expressions and just the sheer absurdity of some of the situations made me crack up so much! One example of just how well-crafted and subtle this humor:
In the special 01, Chiaki asks Nodame to play a piece and she says something like "Any requests?...how about the fart exercise?" and he says (with a smile on his face) "I'll kill you."
Other not so subtle humor would be ANYTHING that Stresseman said!

Anyways! The acting was SUPREME; most of the characters had surprising depth, even ones who had few lines/scenes
like, Ryu and Kiyora in the specials; still managed to move me despite only one real scene where they interact
I think the biggest surprise for me though was how much I grew to empathize with Nodame. Usually I don't like these kinds of crazy characters, but she has so many facets that you can't help but root for her. For example
In the series, when Chiaki's conducting is met with huge applause, and Noda knows she can hypnotize him but hasn't told him yet, the way she bends forward and cries in the audience was so heartbreaking
Also, the
whole segment in the special 02 where she is feeling discouraged and abandoned really got me
The biggest thing for me though, was the connection between Nodame and Chiaki; they are made for each other and I love the way they complement each other. I love that there wasn't any third party getting between them either; a lot of their relationship is very mature and focuses on their personal growth. Siiighhhh, my heart is so happy that there is a movie coming out, you have no idea!

So, i'm sorry for the VERY long post, it's just that this drama really affected me and I didn't know where else to post this!

Yay! Another fan! :cheers:

Thanks for your observations... You've discovered along with the rest of us the depth of each character and how well written Nodame is... :thumright:

And thanks to your support and the support of all the other Nodame fans, we'll be rewarded with TWO theatrical Nodame movies later this year and early next year... :cheers:

I am looking forward.

Too bad US tv isn't good about foreign movies. This would be a hit, I think


That scene where Chaiki is conducting Beethoven's 7th and everyone is applauding, but Nodame is crying is the best part of the whole series. The phone call between them near her house is the second greatest scene ever.

Of course, Chaiki in Hokkaido is pretty darn funny.

What I also don't get is Japan's TV stations refusal to subtitle their dramas and sell 'em here and around the world... They'd expand their business and there's be tons of grateful JDrama fans... :)

I can't possibly say one scene is the best of the entire series when the entire drama is just one great scene after another...

The food shopping spree was a crack up.... "Uni.... Eeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!" :lol

Chapters 127-128 are her doing chopin with Stressman in London. I thought the whole arc from 120 on to 130 one of the best parts so far. Would love to see Uri do the scene which leads up to it. It colors my feeling for the music. It now has the feel of "Its tomorrow, and he does not love me now."

Do you think the movie will reach that point from the manga? :sweat:

From the trailers, it looks like scenes from Paris-Hen: Chiaki working with the Roux-Marlet Orchestra...

the show so far has stuck pretty close to the manga. (they dropped the arc of the visit to his parent's house, which makes sense from a budget standpoint, but lost an important part of the logic behind Chiaki's emotional coldness)

The manga is supposed to end in January, about the same time as the second movie airs. I get the impression they are going to wind up everything together.

So ka.

I always thought his coldness was from his parents divorce, plain and simple... :sweat:

Hmm, will that be possible and not be too abrupt or contrived?

Bad information I guess. I read a posting over in the manga discussion..... The guy saw the KVR trailer and thought it was for Nadome. He has been corrected. He saw UJ in a wedding dress and put 2 and 2 together and got a wrong answer.

LOL. :lol

A while back, I posed a pic of Juri-chan in a wedding dress (from the movie Christmas on July 24th Avenue) and convinced some people that Nodame was getting married... :mrgreen:
