November 3, 2007
Since i watching Nodame Cantabile live action series, i really enjoy listening classical music. Its relaxing my mind when im doing my artistic work. You know, when the complicated things coming around you and i guess the problem to solve it is just listening the classical music. Thanks to Nodame Cantabile series.. i already watching that series many times and my favourite song is Sonata No. 5 “Spring” for Violin and Piano, Op. 24 by Ludwig Van Beethoven.
Nodame Cantabile

Nodame Cantabile sebuah J-Drama versi “live action” daripada anime Nodame Cantabile. Sememangnya sebuah drama yang kelakar dan saya mendapat semangat untuk tidak berputus asa untuk apa jua halangan daripada drama tersebut dan saya seorang yang mudah putus asa.
Summary :
Shinichi Chiaki is the top piano student at the Momogaoka College of Music and an excellent violinist, but Chiaki doesn’t care about playing these instruments as much as he dreams of someday being a conductor. Chiaki, however, has several deeply rooted fears about traveling, and so finds himself “trapped” in Japan. Because he’s trapped, Chiaki starts to question exactly how far he can possibly go in music, especially when he’s passed over again and again for others he believes less worthy of musical scholarship and fame.Recently dumped by his girlfriend for a “ham” looking fellow, passed over for a chance to go overseas, and removed from his star spot in the piano competition because he walked out on his piano instructor, Chiaki is at his limit. This is when he meets Nodame, or Megumi Noda. Nodame is a free — and filthy — spirit who reminds Chiaki that music can be fun and what drew him to be a conductor in the first place. In learning how to deal with Nodame, Chiaki learns how to deal with others. Chiaki begins to realize what is possible for him, even within the country of Japan. For Nodame, Chiaki is everything she isn’t. Clean, neat, dedicated, studious and inherently arrogant about his accomplishments and capabilities, Chiaki constantly bullies her into being more serious about life. He sees potential in her and her abilities as a pianist that she doesn’t care about. She loves Chiaki and wants to be with him. But, because she’s serious about neither her piano studies nor her personal hygiene, Chiaki always denies her affections. Drawn together in a turbulent relationship, Chiaki’s perfectionism and Nodame’s untamed nature end up complementing each other. As the story progresses, they mature as individuals, as musicians and as a couple.
