The drama stars rising stars Tamaki Hiroshi (Waterboys, Heavenly Forest) and Ueno Juri (Swing Girls), who started learning piano when she was a child. With romance, comedy, and Beethoven to boot, this drama makes for a pleasant and entertaining watch. Nodame Cantabile received the Best Drama, Best Actress (Ueno Juri), and Best Director (Takeuchi Hideki) awards at the 51st Television Drama Academy Awards.
Top piano student Chiaki Shin'ichi (Tamaki Hiroshi) aspires to become a conductor, but his travel phobia prevents him from acquiring greater exposure overseas even though he should have no problems in getting scholarships. While he feels his musical career is in stalemate, he meets Nodame (Ueno Juri), a girl from the same university. Though she is also a music genius, she is everything he is not - carefree, messy, chaotic. They may run into conflicts, but they also make perfect complements for each other!... (more)(less)
"Too much hyperbole...
Still I love it when Tamaki hiroshi hugged Juri from behind! One of the scenes that I actually remember.
Fyi, I tend to forget lovey dovey scenes. So it's gotta be some really interesting scene for me to be able to remember it."
