Don't make a mistake after only 2 measures!!
Gyabo!!!
I'm wondering if I should just quit music...
It's meaningless if I can't perform in Europe...
Ah, I remember it now!
You're Chiaki Senpai!
Today this person will conduct!
Always being relied on by others...
a person like you won't understand how we feel!
This 1st performance of our S-Oke...
let's enjoy it!
Senpai can fly on a plane now.
Because God is calling...
I must go now.
Actually her piano has always bothered my mind...
It's pure...
uncalculating, individual...
Alright, it's enjoyable time for music now!
Alright!
Chiaki Senpai will be the one conducting...
while Nodame will be at the piano...
we will enjoy...
Let's go together to Europe...
And then the two will soon land on a new stage...
... the Holy Land of classical music...
Europe!!!
Spring 2007
2007 Momogaoka Music Academy Graduation Ceremony
Everybody, congratulations on your graduation!
Bye and take care!
Well, even if we've graduated, we can still see each other in Rising Star
so it doesn't feel too real, does it?
Right!
But I've never thought that Nodame-chan will go to study in Paris...
Yes, it's good that she passed the exam!
That's awesome of you, Nodame!
Thanks, thanks!
To what extent do you intend to stalk Chiaki-Sama?
I can't forgive you!!
Ah, ah, stop it... First, let's go drinking, OK?
Graduation Drinking Party!
Yay!!
How nice...how nice!
Oi! Nodame's going too, right?
Nodame has to say good bye here.
Why?
I have to finish my preparation to study abroad...
Actually it's okay to leave by autumn, when the Conservatoire will start, but...
as Chiaki Senpai will leave Japan soon...
he said "Let's go together"...
You!
Stop having wild delusions!
This is true!
Stop it! Grow some more to be adults!
Nodame! Let's go home!
Hai...
Chiaki!
Ah! Chiaki-Samaaaaa!!
Move back!
I don't want to part with you!
But surprisingly you're a nice guy, aren't you?
...to wait for Nodame until her studying abroad is decided.
No, it's not that.
Then why?
Is there any reason you don't want to travel alone?
Oh my God!! Noooo! Help! Somebody! Help!!!
I'd...
I'd be graduating anyway, so I thought of graduating properly first before leaving.
You'd truly leave already?
Mine...
Rather than "already"...
it's "finally".
Huh?
Yes I can finally go...
... to Europe.
Aah, I don't get it, but well...
First, let's toss him up, toss him up! Toss him up!
Wasshoi! Wasshoi!
Nodame too!
Nodame wants to touch him too!
Gyabo!!!
Wasshoi! Wasshoi!
It's the time for a new bud to sprout ...
A new stage is waiting after the separation...
...and that stage is...
... the Holy Land of classical music.
To Europe!

Prague (Czech Republic)
Rudolfinum, Dvorak Hall Mr. Sebastiano Vieira April 3, 2007
Vieira Sensei...
I'm...
I'm wondering if I should just quit music...
Even if I do the best I could in Japan and become a professional conductor,
...it's meaningless if I can't perform in Europe.
Senpai can fly on a plane now.
Because God is calling...
I must go now.
Bravo! Bravo!
Chiaki Senpai!
Are you going home already?
Is it alright not to meet Vieira Sensei?
Just when we came to Prague first of all...
It's alright not to meet him for now.
Besides, even if I meet him now, I never think that he'd immediately take me to be his pupil.
First I will participate in a Conductors' Competition here...
... to confirm my own ability.
If in the competition I can make a good result they acknowledge...
then I will go to see Vieira Sensei
Chiaki Senpai in a Conductors Competition?
Alright!
When we arrive in Paris, let's go to eat something delicious.
I'll treat you.
Mukyaaaa!
Waaaah...
How beautiful!
Have you decided yet?
Yes.
For the cocktail before meals, give us two glasses of Kir, and...
a big plate of shellfish and seafood
steak tartare...
and pre-sale. (mutton from Mont-St-Michel Bay)
What about some wine?
Do you have white wine from Alsace?
Yes, Sir.
Am...amazing!
Excuse me.
Eh?
The gents, the gents..
Hauu...
Alone?
I am so sorry, Miss...
Gyabo! French!
But we are unable to serve steak tartare...
Is he asking me to make more orders?
What's that?
Sn...snails... *for 5 persons*
Did I order that?
Yes, earlier the Miss ordered them...
in replace of the steak tartare which we cannot serve.
We already ordered such a big heap of other shellfish...
...why escargots?
Nodame wanted to eat these...
This is fine with me.
Just as what I wanted.
Say you couldn't read the menu.
You...
...you didn't study French at all, eh?
Amazing that you passed The Conservatoire.
Study French real hard before school starts, okay?
You'll be fine!
Because you can speak Okawa dialect,
you're already bilingual!!
Compared to Okawa dialect,
French is super easy!!
Hahahaha!
But...how amazing that you passed!!
Hahahaha!
What's wrong, Nodame?
Don't just look down but look at the sceneries!
Paris night is beautiful!
Akihabara is more beautiful! (= electric town in Tokyo)
Heh?
Today Senpai is disgusting !
Singing songs and dancing!
Of course you feel happy because for you this place is like your hometown!
Moreover, you understand what they said...
and can read the menu.
You love bread too!
For you, wine must be like water!!
You...
Could you be...
feeling homesick already??
Insulting me...
in the plane Senpai were depending on Nodame, trembling like a small puppy!
Eeeek!!!
It's alright, it's alright...
The second the plane landed, you act like a King!
What "Look at the sceneries"??? (she speaks in Okawa dialect)
Is this your country??? (she speaks in Okawa dialect)
Nodame...
You're drunk!?
I'm going home!
Japon!! (Japan)
Without realizing it, she drank this much...
Thinking about it...
since she decided to study abroad suddenly,
she studied so hard for the exam, how could she possibly study language ...
Moreover, adjusting to my schedule,
she left Japan much earlier than planned...
Nodame decided to study abroad too!
That way, someday...
just like Milch and Senpai...
perhaps I can perform on the same stage with you.
Chiaki Senpai will be the one conducting...
while Nodame will be at the piano...
There will be more...
other enjoyable things...
She has done her best in her own way till she reached this stage...
I'm sorry... for laughing at you.
See you again tomorrow.
Good morning! Hai, this, this!
You asked me to take you sightseeing???
Nodame wants to go to Chateau de Versailles!
It's my dream since childhood.
Even so, we did you have to wake me up at 6?
Because I also want to go to l'Arc de Triomphe and Eiffel Tower...and...
Champs-Elysees ...
Weren't you homesick??!
Gyabo!
Eiffel Tower!!
Woooah!!!
Roast chestnuts!
Nodame, this is Notre Dame...
Macaron..
Gelato...
Look!
Croissant...
Gateau chocolat...
You're just eating, aren't you?!!!
Gyabooooo!!
Didn't I tell you that we'd start living in the apartment from today?
Yes, that's why I woke up early...
Wow...
Are we going to live in such a Palace like this??
This is a usual apartment.
But these gates...
Lord of The Rings!
This place is primarily rented for music students.
Since a long time ago, my mother's side Miyoshi family owns this apartment.
Shinichi! Megumi!
I'm Anna the manager.
Konnichiwa!
- Bonjour - Bonjour
Well, well, come in!
- Your luggage has arrived. Come! - Hai!
Gyabo! It's like a snail!
This is Megumi's room.
That's Shinichi's room.
We're next-door neighbours again, aren't we?
Gyahaan!
- Megumi first...go in please. - Hai.
How are you?
My name is Megumi...
She seems happy with the room.
Piano, piano!
Ah! I'm sorry!
The piano tuner will come tomorrow.
Well, well, come in!
Wow! What room is this?!
Actually how many rooms are there in here?
It's a privilege of being the owner's relative.
Waahh! How nice, how nice! Sofa!
Let's talk with Nodame about love here...
The sound is different.
The air is also different.
So Senpai grew up listening to these sounds...
Play something.
What shall I play? Any request?
Ah...
Onara Exercise ...
I'll kill you!
Hmm...
...then I'll play some French song...
Ravel - Miroirs: Alborada del gracioco (Aubade of The Jester)
Ravel's Miroirs!
This is the piece Ravel composed for his young artist friends in Paris.
Is it played with the intention to greet us?
And moreover...
it's wonderful!
Franck!
It seems that the new landlord has come!
Isn't it the young man who aspires to be a conductor?
He's Madame Seiko's son, isn't he?
Ah! He's RICH!
Shall we go and take a look?
Tanya...your...
your makeup is too thick again!
What's wrong with it?!
This is the country of love, isn't it?
Look, the door is open!
- Let me greet him! - Tanya!
No...
Dame!
Huh?
As usual, she skips...and jumps!
However...
with that springy and cheerful touch...
she is expressing colorful sounds up to her full talent.
As I thought...
she's amazing!
Oh, what are you doing?
Who?
Ah, no...
Franz?! (she called him Franz)
Dame?!
Gyabon!!
Why are you here?
You passed the Conservatoire too!
That's great, Dame!!
Gyabo...
I'm not Dame but Nodame. (dame= bad, or a negation)
No. Dame!
Your surname is "No", and your name is "Dame", right?
Are you living in this apartment too, Franz?
Though you're a Frenchman?
I was surprised that you were the one playing the piano previously.
It was wonderful!
Where did you buy the sweets you gave me at the last exam?
I want you to listen to my piano too.
Actually I...
...I can't forget you since then...
..and then we do meet again now, don't we?
It's in our destiny, don't you think?
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Chiaki Senpai, what are we two talking about?
Ah, let me introduce you!
This is Franz.
Or Franck?
We met at the exam to the Conservatoire.
And this is Chiaki Shinichi-kun...
...the man in Nodame's heart.
Being a perfectionist, he would look down on other people, but...
actually he's very good at looking after people.
Hai, Senpai! Exchange money please. (LOL, wrong French)
Don't joke around!
Go take a crash course in instant French!
Gyabo!!
Everyone, otsukaresama for viewing the (Japanese) subtitled broadcast.
We are sorry for acting one-sidedly...
from now on we will decrease the subtitle
and will broadcast in Japanese as much as possible.
"Otaku"...
In Japan, otaku means...
people who always stay at home,
as people who investigate one thing very thoroughly,
they are supreme figures highly respected by people.
Dame...
Huh?
However...
even so...
first of all, they hardly succeed with women.
Oh no!
I must tidy up so that Dame won't dislike me!
Tidy up! Tidy up!
...because today I'm going to invite Dame to come over for tea!
Beautiful buildings...
The whole city of Paris is the world's legacy...
- Bonjour - Bonjour
On Sundays it is Bach at the Church...
I'm so happy...
Senpai!
Haven't you got your breakfast yet?
You're really...
After taking a shower we'll go to a cafe, so wait.
Then I'll wait in Senpai's room.
Do you mean to peep? Don't come in!
No. Please let me borrow your washing machine.
No!
Well, well, no need to restrain yourself.
Damn, damn...
I ask you, please live self-reliantly!
From now on there'll be times I have to go away for long periods of time too.
I understand that.
That's why Nodame is doing my best now!
*Instant French Conversation* First, language study.
How do you do. My name is Megumi Noda.
I'm his wife.
He's my husband.
You'll start with a lie, huh?
Ah, this one is good.
He's the Savior in our family.
Don't start by memorizing unnecessary words. Start from daily conversations.
Then the daily life section...
Bonjour! Did you sleep well?
Last night you snored!
Don't forget to take out the garbage, OK?
Could you help me cleaning the house?
Give me some allowance money!
Oi! Whom do you intend to say those words to?
Help!
Call the Police!
I was raped!
No! It's not true!
Why do you look at me like that?
Give me back my money!!
She's studying French now...
He is a scoundrel!!!
That book is weird, isn't it?
Eh, really? Youko bought it for me. ( = her Mom)
Start from the lowest level for beginners! Using normal textbook.
Then please give me private lessons!
I'm going to study conducting from now on.
Then teach me in the afternoon.
I'll be studying in the afternoon too.
What about at night?
I'll be studying at night too.
The competition's preliminary exam will start from next month.
Sorry but please study by your own.
Eh?
Sorry.
Platini International Conductors' Competition.
The gate to success for young conductors which is held once in every 4 years...
And...
for me, it will be my first conductors' competition.
Though I feel sorry for Nodame,
I want to concentrate on this.
(Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No.1)
Hey, Franck! You promised me, didn't you?
You said you would help connect my computer to the internet!
Do it today!
Be quiet...
It's the final episode of "The Dog of Flanders".
Sheesh...
That's why she rejected you.
Otaku!
I'm...I'm not rejected yet!!
I just can't find the courage to say it.
She'll reject you anyway, just like Naoko did!
You really like Japanese girls, don't you?
But Tanya were also rejected by your boyfriend recently!
Moreover he also said many things like "Your makeup is too thick"...
... and "Your clothes is in bad taste"...
Such a jerk, I was the one dumping him!
Hmph!
I hate Frenchmen!
They always put on airs...
They think they're fashionable and smart!
I'm a Frenchman but I never think that way!
You're a Frenchman from another planet!
What??!
- A guest? - Wait, wait..
Charge! The Frenchman next door!
Comment allez-vous?
My pleasure, Dame!
I'm so glad you took the initiative to visit me!!
Gyabo!?
Eh? What is it with you today?
Are you inviting me for a date?
Umm...err...
I want you to teach me French...
Etch...etch...Excusez-moi.. what does it mean?
Dame?
*Puri Gorota* Great Adventure of Friendship in Outer Space.
A-ah, this is a TV broadcast!
I am not watching it on video...
Stupid!
Dame...
What about doing your homework, Gorota?
Ah right, Puririn!
Please take me to outer space by your magic!
Ah right, Puririn!
Please take me to outer space by your magic!
Wao!!!
Dame???
Eeek!!
She's talking to the TV set!
Eh?
Bonjour, Monsieur Chiaki
Do you have time now?
I don't!
Just a while...
Just a little while...
Among Japanese anime
especially I like "Puri Gorota"!
Although my otaku friends said that it was too childish,
I don't think that way.
It's "Puri Gorota" ...
that is the anime for true adults!
It softly soothes distorted hearts...
But everybody doesn't realize it.
Don't you think so, Dame?
Ah! You're rewinding it again?
Dame, don't just watch the same thing...
Look! I have a lot of DVDs of the TV Series too!
Don't mind me!
What should we do!
Kazuo-kun will be blown away! We have to help him!
What should we do!
Kazuo-kun will be blown away! We have to help him!
But if we fail we'll be seaweeds in outer space too!
She can catch the French words perfectly!
She must have good ears...
I want you to connect that second-hand PC I got from a friend to the internet.
Why should I?
Well because...
Japanese are good with electric stuff, right? Electric stuff!
"Electric stuff"? What's that?
My name is Tat'yana Vishnyova
I came from Russia.
I'm a 1st year student at The Conservatoire.
Please do it for me.
You're Madame Seiko's son, right? Let's be friends!
Damn!
I already said I didn't have time!
I'll choose the internet provider by myself.
Yes.
Sorry. Actually I've asked Franck to do it...
but he's so engrossed in anime!
Ha? Anime?
He's an otaku! Otaku!
But...
...your girlfriend is quite an otaku too, isn't she?
Huh?
Those two are being quite excited now, in Franck's room!
Is it alright? To leave your girlfriend alone?
Isn't it dangerous?
Who cares? She's not my girlfriend anyway.
Heh? Really?
Then it's a good chance for Franck!
Such compatible pair of otakus are rare, right?
It's a total lunar eclipse! (= very rare)
Ah right...
What about us becoming a pair too?
Actually I...
..have just split up with my boyfriend,
so my heart and body are both open...
My schedule for revival vacation is also open...
How miserable, right?
Right? Chiaki ~~
Done!
Eh?
It's connected to the net now! For the rest, do it as you please!
Move aside!
Eh? It's done already?
Wow, amazing!
So I can do online shopping now??
In addition to a French otaku, a Russian odd girl too.
Wasn't it an apartment for young people who aspire to be musicians?
Gorota...sorry for what I've done till now!
It's OK, Kazuo-kun.
I understood it after coming to outer space.
It's OK, Kazuo-kun.
I understood it after coming to outer space.
In outer space, or on earth...
human beings can't live alone.
We can't live without love and friendships.
Amazing!
So she isn't back yet...
Well, though having friends here will help her language-study...
and though his being an otaku doesn't matter either...
but...
"Franck"...
he's that guy, isn't he?
He's dangerous, isn't he?
How can she sleep over at his place...
She didn't even come to my place for meals...
Could it be...
Help!
Please call the Police!
Eh? Chiaki?
What are you doing?
That's Franck's room.
Eh?
Ah...really.
So your room's the other one there?
Eh?
These are for you.
It can't be true...
For me?
Such freshly-baked bread...
Thank you!
Chiaki!
Today your makeup is light, isn't it? (the other way round, LOL)
You're kidding!
Why did it come to this?
On top of that, "borsch"?! (= Russian stew)
How happy! I got a new friend!
Since I broke up with my boyfriend,
actually I always felt very lonely...
because he was my boyfriend since I was 17, when I first came to Paris.
Since she was 17?
At school, I feel everybody's a rival...
no one invites me for vacations either...
I don't like this situation.
In order to study music...
she lives by herself since young...
What should I do...
... for vacation?
Everybody's working hard...
Yes. Well...
Play the piano, would you?
Eh?
Surely I want to hear ...
...the performance of a Russian student.
I made a mistake...
Oi!
Are you really a student of The Conservatoire?
Eeek!
Listen, Dame...
I can't do it anymore...
Aaa...it's my limit!
I beg you, please...
...go home, would you?
Eeeek!!
More openly!
Your arms are too stiff!
More crispily!
That's not a quarter note!
Gather more!
Your arms are too rigid!!
That should start from your second finger! Once more!
What did you study this one year?
What "vacation", huh?!!
Such a thing, let a dog have it!
Eeeeeeek!
Please serve steak for today's dinner,
Puririn!
Oops!...Monsieur Shinichi!
Shall I attach rice too?
Gyahaha! Great!
You're really something!
Eh? What did you say?
I understand very well now why otaku rarely succeeds in love...
Though I can respect Dame...
as a girlfriend...impossible!
I understand very well now the reason why Japan became a giant economic power.
They don't take vacations!
Huh?
- Ou! Welcome! - Welcome!
Ryuu-chan!
Oh Masumi-chan!
Kimura and Takahashi-kun too! It's been a while!
You students are spirited as usual!
What are you doing? Studying for exams?
We're so exhausted from practising in New Metropolitan Philharmonic!
Master! Three Stamina set lunch please!
Sure!
Ah right...
It's the start of being pro-orchestra players. Right?
Yes, we don't want to be defeated by those who're studying abroad.
Ah, Paris?
It's far!
It's far, but...
Chiaki-Sama and Paris...
suits each other very well!
I'm wondering if Nodame-chan is fine too...
The sinking evening sun at Montmartre...
Museums filled with a crowd of nude statues...
Inside that magnificent Palace of Versailles...
could the two of them possibly...
What are you saying?!!
Well, well, well...stop it!
Anyway if Chiaki makes himself a career there,
our Rising Star will gain reputation as well!
Yes, it's true.
To pray for his success...
is true love, isn't it?
Love?
Ryuu-chan, what's wrong?
Lately, there seems to be no mails from Kiyora-san in Vienna...
Hai! Sorry to keep you waiting!
Th...thank you.
I don't mind it...
Anyway our hearts are connected to each other.
Ah! Mail!
Kiyora!?
It's for me.
Nodame?!
Chiaki Senpai brilliantly passed the preliminary exam for the Conductors' Competition. -from Versailles-
Conductors' Competition?
He passed the preliminary exam!
What's this unrelated photo?!!
This is a harassment!!
Chiaki-kun!! Aaaa...Aaaa...get in! Chiaki-kun...
Hey! What are you transferring to your own cell phone??!
Cut it out! Stop it!
Dad!
September
Seasons passed by...
Finally from tomorrow...
my new challenge will begin.
Gyaboooo!
- Anime Festival??! - Yes!
This is a festival they do annually around this area...
Anime fans all over the world will gather!
Furthermore, this year...
Puri Gorota's author will come here!
Waaahhh! Hara Hiroshi!!
Hara Hiroshi is coming??
Let's go together, Nodame!
- Oui, Oui! Tres bien! - Great!!
Oi! You two!
I'll be busy preparing for the Competition which will start tomorrow...
... so why are you meeting up at my place?
Ah, is Chiaki's Competition ...
starting from tomorrow?
That Competition will be held near my relative's house, so I want to go to give you support, but..
I never thought the time would collide with the Anime Festival!
- What should we do?!! - What should we do, what should we do?!
You don't have to come!
Senpai's Competition will take 10 days anyway...
I will surely go.
Well, the 1st Round won't be open to the public anyway.
When will the 2nd Round be?
On the 17th.
Noooooo!
That's just when they'll hold an anime party, renting this whole Castle!!
Heh?!! Heh? A party in a Castle?!!
Anime fans from all over the world will gather there...
...and this year they'll also have a Puri Gorota show too!
What should we do...
Senpai, when will the 3rd Round be?
Naturally you'll remain in the 3rd round, won't you?
You don't have to come!
Is my Competition less important than anime??!!
Don't be warped like that...
I'll surely go to the 3rd Round, so be in the 3rd Round, OK?
What shall we do if we meet Hara Hiroshi?
What about taking a two-shot photo?
Photo? Autograph! Let's get his autograph too!
For autograph...
DEFINITELY DON'T COME!!!
Lyon Train Station, Paris.
Waaah!!! Hohhh!!
Oi! Are they your friends?
Yes. There'll be Anime Festa today, they said.
Wow, everyobody is wonderful!!
Cosplay is a worldwide thing, isn't it?
Rather than that, The Conservatoire will start soon, right?
You had better make a serious effort practising your piano!
I know.
Therefore at least for now I want to...
Ack! Senpai smells good!
Super-rich fragrance!
Keep your distance!
How noisy...
Japanese?
Are you okay, Jean? You can't concentrate, can you?
No problem, Yuko.
Now I'm just enjoying this music score.
Really?
As expected of you, Jean!
That person next to us seems to participate in the Competition too...
Mm!
Ah right! Senpai!
Hai! This is a charm for you!
This is...
... a finger-doll usually attached to something for free...
Use that...
on Senpai's baton here...
With this, you'll surely win the Competition. Just fit ~
How can I conduct with such a thing here?
It's made of rubber so it will function as an anti-slip too!
I ...I can't take it off!!
Oh no!
Kazuo baton??
It's okay for you to join the Competition, but..
don't bring shame to Japanese people in another country!
"Shame"?
We won't!
Chiaki Senpai will surely win!
He's the pride of Japan!
Sorry but he won't take the 1st place!
As to why...
...it's because my Jean here will take the 1st place!
Sorry to say such a cold comment though I'm a Japanese too.
But it's because...
it's the truth!
Mukyaaa!!
The Competition will only start from now..
why did you say such a rude...
It's you who are rude!
It was rude of you to say that he would win!
Last year, Jean took 1st place in the Conductors' Competition in Belgium,
he's the new weapon people put their hope on!
He's the pride of France!
But Chiaki Senpai...
also won in a Violin Competition a long time ago!
Hooo...and so????
His tall nose has never been broken yet! (=never loses yet)
Who has a tall nose?? (tall nose = smug, arrogant)
You seem to be extremely confident, but...
Jean...
among Sebastiano Vieira's young pupils,
is the most promising bud, you know!
I wonder whose pupil you are...
You look young. Are you a student?
But Chiaki Senpai is...
Milch Holstein's pupil!!
Who the heck is that?
A cow??
What was Milch's real name? Shu...Shu...?
It's game-over!!
This time, again Jean seems to have no rival!
Yuko, it's time to go.
Let's go.
A-ah...sorry, Jean!
That's all I need to say! Excuse me!
Mmmmuack!
Aaaaa! Daaaahh!!
Vieira Sensei's pupil...
I know that there are several like him...
I have never put up a tall nose...
I had even resigned coming here in the past.
I must surely win...
Senpai, wait for me!
Nodame's going to the Competition too!
Hah?
Didn't you say you were going to the Anime Festa?
Certainly you won't lose!
Silly!
What will you do going with me?
I will protect you.
It's not open for the public till the 3rd Round! How can you see me?
Then I'll be your attached-attendant...
Bringing animals in is forbidden!
Ehhhhh?...Wuahhhh...
From now on it's a battle with myself.
How can I bring a girl along?!
I hope it will be a beautiful place...
HE can??!
Practice your piano well, OK?!
Hauuun...
Platini International Conductors' Competition. *Prague*
To commemorate the famous conductor Platini,
since 1960,
they hold the International Competition once every 4 years.
The period of time is 10 days.
The musical performance will be played by the famous Wiltord Symphony Orchestra.
With many subjects of musical pieces to perform,
as a competition for young people below the age of 30,
it is known to be very severe and highly difficult.
The winner will benefit from receiving a large amount of money,
performing with The Wiltord Philharmonic Orchestra,
and also...
receiving a one-year contract for career management and promotion.
And then...
consisting of the 18 people who passed the preliminary exam by video,
the 1st round will now begin.
First, it is lottery.
We must choose one piece from among the other subjects.
I got...
Haydn
Symphony No.104!
Oh great, Jean!
It's what you want to do: Rossini!!
You're wonderful, Yuko!
As I thought, you're my Goddess of Fortune!
It's because God loves you, Jean!
Isn't he Jean Donnadieu who took 1st place at the Belgium International last year?
Why does he join this competition too??!
So he's really quite famous...
Jean...
Acting lovey-dovey so shamelessly like that...
while I left my wife and kid in Japan, coming to this competition staking everything!
Is it acceptable to behave like that?!
Eh?
Oh...
Don't look down at me!
You're a Japanese, aren't you?
What do you think about that?
Ah, hai...
Well, I don't know...
I often saw people bringing their mothers along, but...
since this is my first Conductors' Competition,
I don't know what to think about it.
Ah, so it's your first time?
Well...
There are quite a lot of people with such a big attitude.
It's my 4th time here so I know it.
Seeing people who seem to be calm, inadvertently we'll feel nervous...
but don't let it bother you at all.
As long as you don't get influenced by other people and concentrate on your own music, you'll be fine!
That's what I learned after participating in competitions up to now.
Though I failed 3 times, hehehe...
We are both Japanese, let's do our best together.
I'm Katahira. Katahira Hajime.
I'm 30.
I'm Chiaki Shinichi, 22 years old.
Nice meeting you.
Mm, so your name is Chiaki?
Could you be related to the pianist Masayuki Chiaki? (Chiaki's father)
No!
Really?
Because you have the same name, I was just wondering. Sorry!
Jean...
See you later Chiaki. Let's do our best from tomorrow.
Is he your acquaintance?
No.
(Haydn - Symphony No. 104)
The father of Symphony, Haydn.
In Symphony, including the menuet, he made 4 forms of Movements...
arranging the styles of sonata and string quartet,
establishing the foundation for classical music, he is a great composer.
To be tested by Haydn's music...
is a great honor for me!
Tamaya...
I'm glad Nodame looks cheerful now.
No, no...
...because you seemed to be worrying about Chiaki earlier.
There is no need to worry about Chiaki Senpai!
Hm?
He must be enjoying it anyway.

Platini International Conductors' Competition *1st Round*
Finally it started...
How many contestants have been up there by now?
It has just started, so it's the 1st contestant now.
The 1st contestant?
Steve was a classmate when I studied in The United States...
He was a Vice Conductor of a private orchestra, so why...
Huh?
...why did he have to join this Competition too? I have never defeated him...
I got a stomachache... I got a stomachache...
As long as you don't get influenced by other people and concentrate on your own music, you'll be fine!
Right?
Insolent newcomer...
By the way, Chiaki-kun, aren't you No.2?
Your neguse is pretty bad! (neguse = tousled hair from sleep)
I overslept ...
I couldn't sleep from overexcitement.
I'm going now.
Platini Intenational Conductors' Competition
The 1st Round
In the alotted 15 minutes for each piece,
we must conduct the rehearsal and full performance.
The Juries will chiefly observe the rehearsal.
Observing the ability to understand music, to express music...
observing how good the ears are...
...and then observing one's talent.
Neguse? (neguse = tousled hair from sleep)
Huh?
Next is a neguse youth, eh?
Did you oversleep?
He did it...
A Japanese? He's cute!
Damn!
I thought I already fixed it...
Please.
Symphony No. 104?
The piece itself is an explicit Haydn.
If it's simply played lightly it will be a dull performance.
Okay, let's see how he'll do it...
Phew! Somehow I managed to get in...
Oh! Chiaki!
So heavy!
Besides, the fermata is long...
Despite Haydn, this tempo???
Make the forzato sharper... Differentiate it from the piano.
Violin, the rhythm more clearly !
Pay attention before string change!
First violin, don't give an accent.
Play the quarter notes evenly.
Don't make the quarter notes stiff! Strings, don't do a crescendo!
16th notes more clearly! Don't tumble down!
Timpani's rhythm solidly and clearly!
Horn, it's an essential motif, louder!
Quarter notes, leap more in general!
Second violin, play it more!
The theme of the low-pitched sounds, emphasize the forzato!
Crescendo on the ascending scale!
The first beat's harmony, adjust the timing a little more.
Aaah!!
Black feathers?
Aaah...
Awesome!!
At first I thought it was too solemn,
...but while comprehending the structure very well, it was a profound expression, wasn't it?
It was indeed an interesting performance.
He's only 22, eh?
He must have studied a great deal of conducting.
Everyone, it's time for the next contestant's performance.
I've told you...
there's no need to see it from the 1st round!
Huh?
"Look for Nodame-chan"?
What's that?
Ah..
Bonjour
Kyaaaa!!
Isn't he handsome?!
The trill for English horn, more beautifully.
The duet should converse to each other gently.
Right.
Horn, try to wrap the melody...
Aaah!
Wh...white roses!
Aaaah...
The aura...
Hara Hiroshi! Hara Hiroshi!
Hara Hiroshi! The real thing?
He's here! The real thing, the real thing!
Excuse me!
I'm your big fan!
Ano, I'm so glad to meet you! May I take a photo together with you?
Sure, sure!
Franck, take 3 photos!
OK, leave it to me! OK, leave it to me!
- Un, deux, trois... - OK!
Chiaki Senpai!
Come on, Nodame! Ah, Hara Hiroshi-san...
I passed the 1st Round.
"I passed the 1st Round"?
Wuaaa~
- What, what? It's about Chiaki? - Hai...
Whoah! He passed the exam?
Miss, let's take a photo together..
Senpai...
Congratulations! (LOL, look at Hara Hiroshi)
Kanpai!
I wish it was only Jean here.
Kora, kora, Yuko!
Jean...
Yuko, mon amour ~
Je t`aime~
Yuko, je t`aime~
Jean, mon amour ~
Day 4 of the Competition.
The 2nd Round.
The subject is...
...finding mistakes.
15 minutes before one's turn, a music score will be shown for the 1st time in a private room...
and then he will have to perform immediately...
(Dvorak Symphony No.9)
The orchestra performs an intentionally rewritten music score,
and the conductor...
relies only on his own eyes and ears.
Stop, stop!
Timpani!
It's not A he was beating, but C.
Wow...
There are still a lot to find!
Stop, stop, stop!
Cellobass..
he's playing an octave higher on the 2nd beat reverse, and on the 3rd beat.
Next, we begin from the 22nd measure.
First violin..
...the grace note fis was played as C.
Now it's from the 26th measure.
Stop, stop!
Trumpet...
his C became A and dis.
Next, it's from the 30th measure.
Trumpet... the rest is lacking!
Second violin, he's playing the same sound as the viola's on the 1st beat!
Oboe...that is D-C-C.
Cellobass...he's playing the same rhythm as the previous measure.
Fagott...he's playing the same as the cellobass.
Horns #3 and #4, they are playing the same theme as the trumpet and trombone!
Cellobass, that's a dotted note.
Horn #2 is playing an octave lower like horn #1.
Trombone...cis is becoming D.
Viola is not playing D but G!
Horns #3 and #4, the rhythm is wrong!
Bass trombone is playing the same sound as the cellobass!
Trumpet, it's not A but C!
Timpani is beating at the rest point!
Bravo! Perfect!
After the 2nd Round is over, because the next Round will be open for the public,
suddenly the town is in a festive mood...
He's a Japanese!!
Congratulations!
We heard that the ones receiving perfect scores are only you and Jean...
Any comment?
Perfect?
Eh! Did I get a perfect score?
No, it's the wrong Japanese.
Where is Chiaki?
What? Where's Chiaki? Where's Chiaki? Chiaki? Chiaki!!
Somehow I managed to do it...
There are 6 persons in the 2nd Round...
From tomorrow it will be the 3rd Round...
If I can pass, next it will be the Final...
Tomorrow...
is she really coming?
Ne ~
There should be a restaurant with a handsome chef nearby this place...
I wonder where it is...
Tanya, again you ...
We came here to support Chiaki, didn't we?
So what's wrong with it, we're having a vacation anyway...
this is just a side-event.
Eh? Where's Nodame?
Smooooch!!!
Eh, what are you doing??
Je t`aime!
It's just a photo, OK?
What a handsome guy!
Tanya! Tanya!
Tanya! Nodame too! Tanya!
- Taaaaaaa...NYAHH!! - Ohhh!!
The White Prince and ...
The Black Prince...
which one will win, do you think?
The White Prince!
He's very sexy!
Aah, but Chiaki is good-looking too, isn't he?
He's very stoic.
We can say that if Jean is sensually colorful,
Chiaki is philosophically profound.
They are of completely different types, but...
I think they both have great talents.
Both of them have aura, don't they?
They're both very open and have confidence.
Again Lauren said there were feathers and roses...
I could really see them, I said!
But I like the other Japanese.
Katahira????
Chiaki-kun? Yes he's here!
Having breakfast this late?
The 3rd Round will start soon, you know. Aren't you going to see it?
No. Besides, my turn to perform will be in the afternoon today.
I'm thinking of doing some more studying first...
Really? Then I'll go by myself.
I want to see the performance of that guy Jean.
Excuse me.
My turn will be tomorrow...
...and besides, from the 3rd Round we can see the others' performance.
OK! I'll be looking forward to Chiaki-kun's conducting.
I'll go now.
Jean...
Wait..
I'm going too.
Platini International Conductors' Competition 3rd Round.
I wonder if Chiaki Senpai is here.
We can meet him soon.
Ah, those seats over there are vacant!
- O-oh...that's good! - Good, good!
Finally I can sit down.
Ack!
Huuuk!
The 3rd Round.
It's to see how well we can finish up the subject piece we got by lottery, in 30 minutes.
Jean~
Bonjour
We'll see a fine performance, won't we?
(Richard Strauss - Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks)
Sing more!
This is...
Richard Strauss'
Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks...
It's the same subject piece as mine.
It's Strauss...
No good for me!
He's doing it very well!
It's flowing...
Typical of Frenchman, his sense of colors is wonderful...
Viola, tone down a bit. Be careful with the rhythm.
The sound is...
dazzling!
Here, play like a child! Don't forget the scherzando.
He's so handsome ~
The merry and mischievous Till Eulenspiegel...
This is just the right piece for Jean...
This is the music for the most bewitching Jean!
I'm sure with this everyone will love Jean.
Bravo!
Jean!!
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
I'm sorry! Are you alright?
I'm okay, I'm okay.
Mr. Chiaki, it's your turn.
Hai.
Wait!
You're forgetting your tie...
Thank you.
Excuse me...
Excuse me.
I'm...
quite tense...
I'll be fine...
...as long as I play my own music.
It's Chiaki!
Chiaki!
("Jean" on the paper fan)
(Richard Strauss - Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks)
Violin, play a bit lighter!
The same with cello too...
Here, don't give too much feeling into it.
Eh?
Is it the same piece as the previous one?
So Chiaki plays "Till" too?
Don't let the tempo fall behind.
Horn, softer!
Softer!
More...
More!
Stop, stop!
Oi, oi! Does one need to be so harsh in just a competition?
You should already feel grateful that I'm playing the horn for you, young apprentice!
Softer.
My own music...
As long as I can express my own music...
The woodwind is not in harmony.
Horn, still too loud!
Don't stagnate!
Oboe, pitch!
Harmonize the sforzando, Concert Master!
Clarinet, the pitch is bad!
Horn, too loud!
Don't stagnate and head for forte!
It's not good, Chiaki...
It's too heavy!
I'm sorry.
Just now, I made a mistake.
Once again, please...
Nobody's looking at my conducting...
The sound is...
falling off my hand...
Chiaki...
Again?
Kazuo...
Chiaki...will he be alright?
He recovered at the latter half, so...
he'll be alright...won't he, Nodame?
You two, please go home first.
Nodame wants to see Senpai...for a little.
Then I will also...
Non!
You had better not.
See you then! Take care!
Say hi to Chiaki for us.
Oui!
- Bye! - Bye!
Please do not use this subtitle for commercial reason.
Mr. Chiaki? Excuse me, but..
Aaa, I'm his wife.
I am his "Honey"...
???
Mr. Chiaki...
Your wife is here at the Front Desk...
Eh? "Go home"??
Gyabo!
Senpai! Just a bit!
Just a little bit!
Ah!
Senpai?
Wooo...
Foo foo foo foo...
"Defeated"! (It's a kanji meaning "defeated")
Fooo...
Ohhh...
Ooooo...
What did you come here for?
Senpai, well, well, you don't have to feel so down..
It's not decided yet that you don't pass!
Look, the latter half was very wonderful...
You only got disliked by the orchestra, that's all!
Just like when you were in S-Oke...
... more important than musical talent, is character...?
"Character"...?
Senpai is easily misunderstood, you know...
...because you're such a hardcore perfectionist.
But if you let me, your Senpai in competition, say it,
in a sense, it's good, isn't it?
It broke with a snap!
I mean your (tall) nose...
Human beings grow bigger after experiencing defeat, you know.
Just like Nodame! Nnng?
You! What did you actually come here for??
I'm sending you cheering yells...
What cheering yells?! You're adding salts to my wounds!
In fact you're thinking I am defeated, right?
I didn't think that you were defeated by Jean!
I ddin't think that I was defeated by Jean either!
I was defeated by...
myself...
I was nervous.
Listening to his performance,
I felt I had to do better than him and thus strained myself..
and turned spiteful.
Senpai, what about going to dinner first?
Nodame feels hungry...
Ne! Let's enjoy our time until the result comes out, OK?
Let's go out!
Look, this restaurant seems to serve delicious dishes.
Thank you.
Let's eat a lot!
Thank you.
Araaa...Chiaki-kun!
That's your name, right?
Your performance today, what a pity!
How can I say it?
"Till Eulen being murdered halfway from overconfidence"?
Mukyaaa!!!
Don't say such things as if sprinkling salts on a slug!
Who's a slug?
A slug? How disgusting!...
Just when we're enjoying our meals!
Well, it's understandable...
what with Jean clearly making such a big difference in performance!
Yuko...
Hm?
Stop laughing.
Eh?
Yuko doesn't understand it.
I've heard Chiaki's performance.
You don't have worry at all.
Let's return, Yuko. I'm sleepy already.
Wait, Jean!
The dessert hasn't...
Hhhh!!
Earlier...
was it a consolation?
Jean, what's wrong with you? To leave suddenly in the middle of our meals...
Nothing especially...
I just thought of returning home to study.
Ehh?
But to study, doing it tomorrow will be as good.
No it's not good!
Somehow I feel it won't be good.
He's a good guy...
...I suppose.
If he wins...
I guess Vieira Sensei will be happy too.
I've wanted to meet Sensei quickly too.
One more!
Gyabo!
Nodame, let's drink again at home.
Senpai, you drank too much!
Nodame must go to Franck's relative's house too now.
Stupid!
There are no more trains running.
Ack...umm...does it mean...
...that I may sleep over at Senpai's room?
Yes, that'll be fine too. Whatever.
But today ...
my top and bottom underwear does not match other...
Will that be fine with you?
Hmmm?
Heee...
This is a torture, leaving me half-dead...
*Wishing you all A Happy New Year 2008*
Chiaki Senpai, wake up! Let's go to see the 3rd Round!
Let me sleep at least on my day off!
A father of which family is he??! (= he sounds like a father)
Get up quickly!
Let's see other people's performance!
This music festival is a good chance for us. It's our loss not to enjoy it.
Ah, right...today's the 2nd day of the 3rd Round.
I want to see Katahira-san's conducting at the end of the round.
Hai, hai...what about taking a shower?
Ora!!
Gyaboooo!!
(Glinka - from Opera "Ruslan and Lyudmila ")
He jumped!
A unique way of conducting...
but somehow it's easy to understand.
his using movements to express...
..and then, the diverse fortissimo pulled out from those jumps...
The rhythm doesn't get out of order...
even the length of time is being calculated.
He...
looks bigger...
Gyahaha...
Mukyaaa ~
I too...
wanted to make them happy...
I wish I had enjoyed music from the heart like he does...
If I had another chance...
Bravo!!
Whew! As expected, arriving at this stage, they are all high-level, aren't they?
It makes me get real serious as well.
However, getting familiar with the competition,
there'll be quite a few who'd try to meneuver themselves to victory.
That's true.
Doing things like flattering the Orchestra members and pleasing them...
Even if they make a mistake...
they'll try to quickly hide it.
Thinking about it, he...
Making a mistake is something that often happens.
Besides, everybody is making their best effort.
He did apologize properly, didn't he?
I am sorry.
Just now, I made a mistake.
At first I thought that he was a showy and arrogant apprentice...
but I was wrong.
Up to that time, his performance had been wonderful.
We had wronged him, really...
Senpai!
What time will the announcement of the result be?
I think it will be soon.
In about 30 minutes...
Heh? That fast?
It's the same with the Competition you had, isn't it...
... "Senpai in competition"?
Oh! A Japanese!
Chiaki!
Do your best in the Final Round!
Huh?
I am supporting you.
Final Round?
The result isn't out yet.
No, no, you'll be fine, you'll be fine!
Running full speed from excess passion, on the contrary gives a good impression.
It's just so like youth.
Running full speed...?
Since I was still inside my mother's womb,
I have been a fan of this Competition for many years.
This time too, please continue making me enjoy it.
Thank you.
If you can perform in the Final, work it out nicely with the Orchestra, OK?
Senpai!
Your eyes are red, you know.
No...
Nothing.
From now on we will announce the names of the Finalists...
to the 13th Platini International Conductors' Competition.
I'm in!
Chiaki Senpai!!
Chiaki-kun!!
I did it too!
It's my first time making it to the Final!!
I managed to be a Finalist at 30, the age limit!! Look!!
Congratulations.
Congratulations to you too!!
My turn!
Kataira! My turn!! (LOL, she said Kataira)
As I thought, he passed to the Final.
Yuko?
What are you doing?
I'm inviting the light to enter my hands...
Now they will ask us to draw the lottery for the Final, right?
HAKK!!
For the the Final, beside the selection of music by lottery,
you may freely select one from among the pieces you have performed up to now.
First, we'll begin with the lottery for Concerto.
Please.
- Wait, Yuko. - Eh?
For this last time, let me draw it.
Jean?
Concerto.
A musical piece that suits me...
a cheerful and flamboyant piece of music.
This one.
Eeek!!
Lalo...
Symphonie Espagnole ...
in D minor!
Ah! That piece with those "BONG! DONG!", sounding very heavy?
Oh-ho-ho-ho-hoooo...
Nodame...
Do it for me.
Heh?
Is it alright?
It's OK, it's OK.
It's the last time anyway...
Then it should suit Senpai...
...grim and vicious!
Who's vicious?
tokotokotokotokoto...
Dodon!!
Mukyaaa!!!
This one!
Tchaikovsky, Violin Concerto in D major...
Chiaki, shall we swap our selections?
No, thanks!
It's a swirling and flamboyant piece, isn't it?
Tchaiko's Violin Concerto...
I often practiced this piece with a violin when I was small...
This is a piece that I love very much!
Mine is Dvorak's Cello Concerto! It's a good piece!
Wow! Cello?
You didn't get a piano concerto, did you!
Do you prefer it's a piano concerto?
No! It's good that it's not a piano concerto...
because for Senpai's piano concerto, Nodame will be the pianist.
Yes. It seems that somehow he made it to the Final.
Hmph!
If he's defeated in such a place...
he'll be disqualified...
as my pupilllllll!!!!
Out! Safe!
Yoyoi no yoi!!
Ohhhh! Nein!
But it's Jean who'll win...
Jean?
It can't be helped, can it?
Besides, I heard that he's Sabastiano Vieira's pupil...
Vieira?!!
If he's defeated, I'll expell him!!
Certainly expell and break off!
Certainly expell and break-kkk-kkkkk...
Yes. Three people made it to the Final.
Excluding me, the other two are Japanese.
Their names are Chiaki and Katahira...
Eh?? Chiaki??
Chiaki...could it possibly be Shinichi?
Does Sensei know him?
I know him very well!
Since he was 11, he's my pupil!
I see! So Shinichi finally came here!
Moreover, making it to the Final too!
Well...
it's dangerous if you're not careful, Jean!
you might break with a snap...hahaha...
Do your best, both of you!
Senpai, I'm home!
I bought dinner and various other things.
Ou! Merci-
Eau or jus...which one? (water or juice)
- Eau! (water) - Hai.
And then...
This and this...which one?
The shop attendant said that this one is definitely better to attract you, but...
for panties, Nodame always like to wear one with strings...
She said that depending on my boyfriend's selection, I may return either one, so...
Senpai, which one do you like?
Why should I know!
If you mean to disturb me, go home!!!
Gyabo!!!
I didn't mean to disturb you.
Damn!
Who?
D!? (LOL, D size is a big cup for a bra!)
Hello?
Anniversaire!!
Yay!!
Oi, oi! You couldn't have forgotten your best friend's voice, could you?
Mine!
Chiaki-Sama!
Masumi here! I'm Masumi!
Congratulations for going to the Final!!
Why did you...(know it)?
Your place should still be ...(in the dark)
Still 7 o'clock here! 7 o'clock! (LOL, he misinterpreted him)
Ano...Nodame informed me by mail...
and then everybody came gathering at my house!
It's a victory party!! Yay!
You went away discarding us, so we expect you to win, OK!
If you lose, as a punishment we'll make you sing in karaoke!
Chiaki-Sama, this is Moe!
This is Kaoru.
We are all supporting you!
We believe that you'll do a great performance!
Yes, if the Orchestra doesn't hate you...
Don't do it so spartanly like you did with us, OK?
It's true, it's true, but...
It was great, wasn't it?
Stop, stop!
The wind instruments too loud!
Cellobass! Too weak!
And then all of you!
The balance is a mess!
About A-Oke or defeating them...
don't be bothered with such things anymore.
Chiaki...
This 1st performance of our S-Oke...
let's enjoy it!
Hai!
It was really...
enjoyable.
You'll be in the Final at International Competition?
It's been a while since we got such a good stimulation.
If you win,
make a triumphant performance in Japan, OK?
For matters related accounting, leave it to me! We'll be waiting for a good news from you!
I love Parisians...
but...
I love Chiaki-kun the best!
Give it to me!
Chiaki-Sama, eventhough we are far apart,
we are all praying for Chiaki-Sama's success!
By the way, I'm the secondly famous in this town...
Chiaki-san!
I have fully prepared a new menu too! *Chiaki Shinichi Victory Memorial Menu* *with photograph attached*
And so..
as we are all here anyway..
We Rising Star...
shall we practice now after not doing so for a while?
Ou!!
Hello, this is Kikuchi in Boston...
I heard about it! Do your best at the Final!
Yes.
What about you?
Me?
Mmm...well...
Nothing changes...
I bother to come here from Japan , you know! Who the heck are you?!
Vienna
Congratulations!
Becoming a Finalist, you did it earlier than me, didn't you?
What about you, Kiyora?
How's Vienna?
Mm.
While studying chamber music at school, I'm starting to prepare for Competition now.
To be honest it's my limit already, but...
...hearing about you now, I wouldn't want to lose out to you.
Do your best up to to the last note...
...so you won't regret it later.
Mm!
Thanks.
Ganbare...
Now, study, study!
Ha!
Till...?
Huh?
Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks...
Is Senpai going to do this again tomorrow?
Yes, as the piece I select from among the ones I've performed up to now.
But it's the piece you've failed in the 3rd Round...
Wouldn't it be better for you to select one that you're especially good at?
I can't let it remain that way. I'm vexed.
I do remember the whole piece, but yet I made a mistake...
Something was wrong with me.
Yes, it's true.
Huh?
Nodame likes "Till" too.
It's enjoyable...
and really merry, isn't it?
True!
"Till" resembles you, doesn't he?
Eh?
Always jesting back and forth...
and then immediately escaping!
I love you!
Gyabooooo!!!
Just when I thought you've gone away, you reappear.
Senpai's a demon!
A devil!!
Don't whine!!
You're a man with a small asshole!
Chiaki Senpai!
She came!
I love you!
Chiaki Senpai!
Then...
... in the end Till was caught...
and killed. (= not true)
Heh! Gyabo!!
Is "Till" such a story??
It's not merry at all, isn't it?
And why is he like Nodame?
What do you feel in your heart?
There are times I feel like killing you!!
MUKYAAAA!!!
Why is Nodame "Till"??
Ahahahaha...
Smetana Hall, Prague
Platini International Conductors' Competition Final
For the Final, we do private rehearsals with only the Juries present.
And then, that evening...
the performance is conducted in the form of a Concert.
Chiaki...
why does he have to choose "Till" again???
Hmph! In any case it'll be the same as before.
What will Chiaki do...
Will he apologize, or...
...will he try to divert it with a joke?
With this, the severe Competition will be over.
Let's enjoy it!
Please.
(Richard Strauss - Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks)
What a good sound...
He's laughing...
The sounds are blending well ...
What happened??
When I first conducted an Orchestra,
the thing Maestro taught me is...
to respect music...
... and people...
and those things will return to oneself.
So it's the Final now! How exciting, isn't it?
But will Chiaki be alright?
Isn't he in the dump because of last time's failure?
He'll be alright!
Let's go, let's go!
- We can't wait to see it, can we? - Yes!
It's completely different from the 3rd Round last time...
And it's a completely different "Till" from Jean's too.
In contrast with Jean's flowing and pleasant performance despite the many sections somehow,
Chiaki, even in a short time like this, is showing us the structure of the original work,
and is expressing the spirit of the piece in detail...
He is showing us his strong will and intelligence.
This is...
the last piece in this Competition.
Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto
It is a famous piece praised as one of the Four Great Violin Concertos.
Starting from the 1st note of the 1st measure...
all throughout the piece is entirely...
full of beautiful singing melodies.
(Tchaikovsky - Violin Concerto in D major)
And then...
the solo violin which is overflowing with great feeling...
When I was small...
I wanted to conduct this piece with an orchestra some day...
This is a piece I have always adored...
Bravo! Bravo!
Bravo!
It's over.
I enjoyed it very much.
He seems to outdo the other two...
It can't be helped.
With this performance, he deserves it...
Now we are going to announce...
the result of the Final of Platini International Conductors' Competition.
Let me announce...
The 1st place...
Shinichi Chiaki!
Thank you
Chiaki!
Nodame.
1st
1st?!
He won??!!
Congratulations!
Chiaki Shinichi-kun Congratulations for winning!
Chiaki Senpai!
Non!
Chiaki-kun!
Congratulations!
Thank you.
Don't get too carried away, OK?
It's you!
Though Jean was a little bad too, it's the Competition that was bad!
But well, maybe to let a type like Chiaki win
might be a good thing for Jean too.
Pokkiri sukkiri, right? (= snapped and felt good)
Didn't I tell you not to get too carried away?!!!!
Mukyaaaaaa!!
Oh no! It's rayon??? (rayon is cheap, unlike silk)
Your girlfriend is cute, Chiaki.
She's not my girlfriend.
Your girlfriend is...
a...amazing.
She is, isn't she?
Yuko's wonderful, isn't she?
No, that's not what I mean.
Moreover, since I met Yuko, only good things happen...
though this time it's regretable for me.
Na, Chiaki...
For the result, I want you to be the one informing Vieira Sensei.
Huh?
Chiaki is my senior, right? I heard it from Sensei.
Here. Vieira Sensei's and his Manager's mobile phone numbers
Thank you.
If it's now, he might take you with him in his performance tour.
I envy you, Chiaki.
Besides, the winner of this Competition will be given 1-year of promotion.
And the prize money is a lot too!
For Nodame, a ring will be fine! A ring!
I read your mail.
Chiaki-kun's amazing!
Ou!
By the way...
it's been a while since we last talked to each other.
As I expected, did you gave me a call because you missed me?
Until the competition, I have to stay at Kyle Dune Sensei's house for lessons.
Since you won't be able to contact me by mobile phone, I thought of telling you in advance.
Eh? What about sending letters?
If you have the time to do such things,
you had better practice too, Ryu.
Bye! Say hi to the others for me.
About that...
Kiyora?!
Oh wow, Kiyora? Pass it to me.
Hello, Kiyora, how are ... ?
It isn't connected...
Ryu-chan? What's wrong?
Ryu-chan!?
Nodame, let's drink again at home!
Heh? Again?
I didn't drink at all.
I was just greeting people the whole time...
Nodame can't drink anymore.
Geh!
So you were drinking again?
Why did you drink that much when you knew you're weak with alcohol?
Because Yuko-syhan said it was delisyhious...
You girls...
Come!
It's great that you won, isyhn't it?
Senpai made one goal in.
"Since I met her, only good things happen" ??
Because Milch suddenly fell ill...
today this person will conduct!
Senpai, it's great, isn't it?
I'm...
...this Oke's...
official conductor?
Bravo!
D?!
(LOLOL...is her cup size really D ???)
Have you prepared it, Elise?
Alright...
EXECUTE the "Desert Prometheus Plan".
Nodame!
It stinks!
What are you doing? School's starting from today!
School?
- What smell is this?? - What's this smell?
Hurry! Anyway get dressed first!
Open your mouth!
- Let the water out!!!! - Haiiii!
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
We must hurry! Or we'll be late to school!
Nodame! If we don't hurry we can't catch the bus! This way, this way!
If one skips class 3 times, she'll be expelled!
Expelled!!
Mukyaaaaaaa!
Paris National High Academy of Music (Conservatoire)
Nodame too will do my best!
I won't be defeated!
Aaaa...Japanese girl!
Hurry!
Let's hurry!
Wait, wait!
Hurry!
Good bye, Chiaki-kun. Take care!
Katahira-san too.
Good bye, Chiaki-kun.
Bye ...
Bye!
Next time Jean will win!!
Convey it to that girl.
- Let's go, Jean. - Mm.
Bye!
Bye bye!
Jean ~ Today's cold, isn't it?
Performance tour with Vieira Sensei?
After the contract is settled, I will immediately go to see him.
To be honest, actually...
I thought I had been forgotten.
