To describe their music in my own words, well, it’s pop with a little touch of jazz within down-tempo (and often electronical) sense. Simply a music that should make you feel good, a good ambience music for the evening of relaxing with friends.
Nodame Cantabile is a movie about the relationship of two aspiring classical musician with contrasting personalities. Nodame Megumi, the main character of the movie (who happen to get lesser time screen than the other main character despite the fact that her name is included in the movie title) is a sloppy pianist with a carefree and childlike attitude who fall in love with her senpai, Shinichi Chiaki, a strict straightforward genius who is a rising star in a classic music world. The movie..ssS! (there will be two movies) was based on the manga of the same name who already got adapted into two-season TV serials and an anime serials. It was highly popular and successfully entertaining. Well, that’s the most important thing from a romantic comedy anyway: funny, entertaining, and touching at the same time.
I’d highly reccomend watching the serials first (anime or tv series; doesn’t matter which), or at least read the manga to get to know the characters before watching the movies. Don’t worry about time, Nodame Cantabile Live Action Movies won’t be released anytime soon. It was scheduled for 2010 releases.
This movies are perfect for:
Movie about classic music
and in a romantic comedy genre
Those who like Juri Ueno acting (or her beauty), like I do (I personally believe that she’s the best actress ever spawned by japan, and on par with A list hollywood actress)
Fans of the handsome Tamaki Hirosho
or Eita
or any handsome/cute actors and actress in the movies
