I have almost 200 screencaps from the first 4 episodes of Nodame Cantabile, and needed to do something with them!
I used to play in my middle school and high school orchestras (I played contrabass/double bass... you know, that huge string instrument). This drama is bringing back a LOT of memories for me. I miss playing... I wasn't terribly good (it's kinda hard to carry around a bass to practice), but I enjoyed it a lot.
So, MASSIVE PICSPAM!


I took this one because I loved the weird phrasing; "Who do you think I am!"... like a combo between "who do you think you are", and "do you know who I am"...

Mini Chiaki is adorables!

The first of many random shots of Chiaki that I found impossible not to include.

#2 gratuitous cap!


Nodame = awesome. I adore her (though she does irritate me sometimes!)


I LOVE Chiaki's look of horror upon waking up in Nodame's apartment. The trash! The clutter! It's like a nightmare!

He's so pretty. I could not resist.


Awesome scene!

More random hotness.

EIIIITAAA!

Milch! I like how the Japanese pronounce German! Also, I am weirdly transfixed by his fake nose. I find myself staring at it whenever he's on screen. Hehehe, it's like 'white-face'! I kinda find it amusing that the Japanese think our defining characteristic is a large nose. It's interesting, really, how races are perceived.

Oh Eita... your hair... The only place I've seen him with normal(ish) hair was in the Densha Otoko movie.

I nearly died when I saw Masumi. I've only seen Koide Keisuke in one other thing (Anmistu Hime), and he DID NOT look like that! I barely recognized him! Masumi is the shit though, with the fro and the 70's clothes!

PRETTY.

OTP!

Chiaki senpai's ANGRY FACE!


I loved this exchange. Milch is trying to get in Nodame's pants, and Chiaki is all trying to save her!







You see what I meant about all the Hiroshi caps? I wasn't lying.


Mine-kun is all like "YOU ARE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE! ACCOMPANY ME ON PIANO PLEASE?!"

AWWWWWW Masumi when he wasn't 70's-ified! I love his pink headband, and totally want one.

More pretty!

Poor Eita's gravity-defying hair got all flat!

Wtf is he wearing?! LOVE IT!

Curly fro!

*snort*

It was around episode 2 when I was like "Hmmm.... Eita's pretty damn hot!"... I then started capping him a lot.


But not as much as I cap Chiaki!


EITA AND HIS HAIR! I don't know why, but it's super sexy to me...


Hehehehehehe!

FAKE NOSE

Told you there were a lot...

I used to play contrabass, naturally I loved bass-girl!

As far as I could tell in this scene, she was playing scales... but pretty well. Her fingering wasn't bad, though her bowing is a bit weird...

More Chiaki...

I LOVED her reasoning for playing bass instead of violin. Because it's "bigger and cooler"! That was kinda my reasoning for playing too! The others are all like "wtf?!"


And just imagine, these are the ones I deemed fit enough to post. I have like, a TON more of him.


NODAME! She's so cute! Chiaki doesn't stand a chance!

Yup. More.


Adorable!

Eita gratuitous cap!

HAHA! I almost ship Mine and Chiaki!



Gah! Wet Hiroshi is almost too much for me. Also... sunset Hiroshi!

Obviously not as much as Hiroshi, but I did cap Eita a lot.


Conductor!Chiaki is HOT. I loved my orchestra teacher/conductor, but God, I wished he had looked like Hiroshi.

SO CLOSE to shipping them!



*sigh* Oh Nodame, I wouldn't have been able to resist him either!
Recently I've been restless, and have only been able to watch one episode a night. It's weird...

Date: 2009-05-02 03:32 am (UTC)I know, when have I EVER seen the actor that plays Eita with unweird hair! I used to play clarinet and oboe btw. I've always liked cello alot though!
LOL you and Lisa crack me up with your comments!! XD
no subject
Date: 2009-05-02 03:36 am (UTC)Eita's hair is a mystery... Totally illogical...
I tried playing trumpet when I was in 5th grade, but I couldn't do it at all. I totally don't have the lung capacity for wind/brass instruments. That's why I ended up doing strings.
Hehe! We're like, on crack tonight!
no subject
Date: 2009-05-02 03:51 am (UTC)LOL I totally wrote "the actor that plays Eita" *idiot*
I don't think I really had the lung capacity either! Well normally I was ok, but when I took up oboe (double reed, which requires more forceful breath) I found it out. I was in a special one on one lesson. The teacher was always like "Breath through your nose! You need to breath through your nose!" and halfway through playing once I just got SUPER dizzy and all the music was going in circles in front of me lol. The instructor was like, you need to go back to class now. So I did XD. Eventually I decided to focus on vocal, so I quit concert band. But omg I loved that oboe instructor! He was French and super cool! And when he had to leave he gave me this little gold Eiffel Tower key chain, haha.
BTW, I'm like NOOB and don't understand what "shipping" means lol.
You ARE! I'm enjoying every word XD!
Actually I hope you don't mind I read your comments! I wonder if people feel like that is rude or not every LOL.
no subject
Date: 2009-05-02 04:02 am (UTC)Heh! I figured it was a typo!
Oh, crazy! It wasn't so bad for me with trumpet (I just couldn't do the weird thing you needed to do to play)... Oh cool!! I wish my teachers has been awesome like that!
Shipping = "Relationshipping", meaning if I say I'm shipping Rui/Tsukushi, I was Rui and Tsukushi to get together. It might be a fanfic thing... I tend to assume that everyone always knows exactly what I'm talking about! I've been in fandom/fanfic for over 10 years now, it's my way of life now :D
I don't mind at all! (I read other people's comments too!)
no subject
Date: 2009-05-02 04:09 am (UTC)Yea I don't know what my brain was thinking XD
Ahh ok that makes sense! I figured it must have been something like that. I never really read fanfics so I'm not hip on the lingo lol.
It's midnight, but I feel super hyper yet tired at the same time! And I didn't PACK ANYTHING UGG I suck lol.
no subject
Date: 2009-05-02 04:19 am (UTC)Ah, it's late, and a friday. Brains are supposed to be dead at this time!
Really?! Fanfic is my thing. I get upset that I can't find fanfic for dramas easily!
I'm like, CRAZY hyper right now! Heh! I never pack stuff until right before I go. When Lisa and I went to Europe, we basically stayed up all night before the flight packing because we left it to the last minute!
no subject
Date: 2009-05-02 04:25 am (UTC)Yea, I guess I never really wanted to read them. I never read one so I guess it could be fun XD I don't know how to write ones, but I could write a crappy one for ya lol
That's INSANE! I usually procrastinate like no-one's business, but I HATE the feeling of rushing. Plus I really gotta be out of here by a certain date, so, I want to make it easier on myself. But watching friggin' Super Junior on youtube is NOT helping me LOLZ
no subject
Date: 2009-05-02 04:32 am (UTC)They're nice if you want an uncanon pair to get together, because it's like an alternative ending. Hehehe!! I've written bad fanfic before! It's fun! You should write one! I'd SO read it!
I hate it too, but I can't seem to avoid it. I'm ALWAYS procrastinating. Hehehe!! I was doing that earlier! Last night I was up until 4 am watching Big Bang on music awards shows... Stupid youtube and it's downward spiral!
no subject
Date: 2009-05-02 04:58 am (UTC)So pick some fandom, well I have to know about it or it wouldn't work of course. But also I never read a fanfic so this is going to suck PRETTY bad! But should be lulz-tastic I'm sure.
Ugh I know it's already 1am! Thank god I don't have to get up early tomorrow lol. But it's fun to keep commenting back and forth too XD! The other thing I keep watching is that JunKi video. He's just so good looking @_@!

Date: 2009-05-02 04:18 am (UTC)Wasn't band optional in 5th grade? I think I joined because of Justin Colangalo (sp? you'd think I'd learn how to spell his name, wouldn't you?), and then I was soooo disappointed when we ended up in different classes because we picked different instruments. But thinking back, WHY would I expect him to pick clarinet?! The only dudes in clarinet were the Star Trek geeks..
no subject
Date: 2009-05-02 04:21 am (UTC)Was it optional...? I forget. Hehehe! Like in chorus, with BILL! You joined to get away from him, but then you inexplicably started liking him...
Dude, you DO talk about Justin a lot! Did I tell you my mom say him awhile back?!
I wonder what he picked... probably something cool...
Hehe! That's kinda the way it goes, doesn't it? The wind instrument guys are always dorks!
no subject
Date: 2009-05-02 04:30 am (UTC)I think it was..or maybe it was like, you could choose between regular music class vs band class? I don't remember. GODDDD BILL! I don't even know WHY I started liking him! (I got way too many crushes back then! ...I totally still have a crush on Jeff by the way. He was so cute..and his facebook pic was cute too!)
I think you did!! It's weird to imagine Justin as an adult..
He picked saxophone! I remember, because I'm a dork...
They are!! And the "bad kids" are always the drummers! (In 5th grade we had to do duets, and the three nerdy clarinet boys performed together, and they did the Star Trek theme...)
no subject
Date: 2009-05-02 04:36 am (UTC)YOU DID! I always had a crush, but, like, one a year. Jeff WAS cute! I wonder what he's doing now. It freaks me out that people we went to school with could be married with kids (I know a few).
HAHA! See, I KNEW it was something cool!
Exactly! And the "smart kids" are strings... it's weird how it works out like that. (HAHAHA! OMG, they're lucky it was only 5th grade. If they pulled that shit in high school they would have NEVER gotten laid).
no subject
Date: 2009-05-02 04:45 am (UTC)Remember the dream I had about Mark Gustin?!
ugh I knooow! stupid people and their so-called "growing up"!
(HAHAHAHA that kind of implies that they've gotten laid since, though, doesn't it? Maybe they still haven't! [not like there's anything wrong with virgins lmao])
no subject
Date: 2009-05-02 04:49 am (UTC)YES! I don't remember what it was about, but I knew Mark Gustin was there! And I remember I teased you a lot about it...
I know! Who ever wants to grow up?!
(True, true... Maybe they were just going through a phase... I'll believe they eventually found someone... [nothing wrong with it of course!])
no subject
Date: 2009-05-02 04:54 am (UTC)Yeah, that's most of what I remember about it, too.. I just remember we were on a bed together (but there was no sex or anything!)
NO ONE!! DAMMIT!!
(Hehehe that's nice of you! The only one I remember btw was David Price. Also there was an Asian but I don't remember his name)

Date: 2009-05-02 05:02 am (UTC)Most of the kids in my band were just dorks by default. Because all the "cool kids" were just...stupid (basically the ones who ended up smoking in the bathrooms/taking up drugs later on. God how did they ever graduate...)
If I got a crush it lasted for like several years LOL

it'd be funny to form a band and have like clarinet and random stuff like that XD
no subject
Date: 2009-05-02 04:55 am (UTC)Of COURSE!
It would be funny XD! You'd have to like play your clarinet like those jazz players used to, because it'd be like having a crazy guitar solo where you move the guitar all around LOL
