Synopsis:
Megumi Noda, or "Nodame," is a piano student at Momogaoka College of Music. Although she is an extremely talented pianist who can play by ear, she can't read music. She also hates to take a bath or clean her room. For her daily meals, she usually grabs something out of her friend's lunchbox.

Nodame soon falls in love with Momogaoka's top student, Shinichi Chiaki. Born into a musical family, he plays the piano and violin brilliantly. Although his major is piano, he has secret ambitions to become a conductor.

Based on the big hit comic book by Tomoko Ninomiya, this is the romantic comedy of two completely different personalities.

The Nodame Orchestra was created just for the show through Sony Music auditions. The orchestra members will be appearing in the drama. Not only will they actually perform in the drama, but they will also be making a CD debut.

ky's top 5 reason u shud watch this:
1. It's a music themed drama.
2. Ueno Juri - The Swing Girl!
3. Saeko - Otsuka Ai Jr.
4. It's from a popular manga.
5. Ueno Juri short hair = .

* i love Prague, Czech
* i love the random CG they use. ewww unknown purple liquid and bugs
* i love the bg music. the drama OST is a must have. the music producer for this drama is a big name that produce music for many drama/movie and games.
* i love manga style joke. door slaming, butt kicking, slow motion flying pieces
* i love the inside joke they use. eg. Nodame change the Mozart duet piece to minor key(sad) after getting shouted by shinji for a few times in the class.

I plan to watch the anime after the movie. The anime is high rated too.
