Plot

edit
Further information: List of Nodame Cantabile characters

Shinichi Chiaki, an arrogant, multilingual perfectionist, is the top student at Momogaoka College of Music and has secret ambitions to become a conductor. Born into a musical family, he is talented in piano and violin and once lived abroad in the music capitals of the world as a young boy (namely Prague), but is trapped in Japan because of his childhood phobia of airplanes and the ocean. In contrast, Megumi Noda, or "Nodame", is a piano student at Momogaoka, notorious for messiness and eccentric behavior. Despite being very talented, Nodame prefers to play by ear rather than according to the musical score; thus, she is regarded as sloppy and playful.

When they meet by accident, Nodame quickly falls in love, but it takes much longer for Chiaki to even begin to appreciate Nodame's unusual qualities. Their relationship causes them both to develop and grow. Along the way, they meet some crazy people (like Masumi, Mine, and Stresemann) and make lasting friendships. Because of Nodame, Chiaki gets the opportunity to lead a student orchestra and begins to have a broader appreciation of people's musical abilities. Because of Chiaki, Nodame faces her fears and enters a piano competition. Opportunities open up as both begin taking risks, stretching themselves far more than they ever thought possible.

After graduation, Nodame succeeds in curing Chiaki from his phobias and they both move to Paris, where Nodame continues her piano studies at the Conservatoire de Paris while Chiaki starts a professional career as a conductor. In Europe, they encounter new friends and rivals, as well as keep in touch with their friends from Japan.

Development

edit

Tomoko Ninomiya based the character of Megumi Noda on a real-life counterpart with the same name. Ninomiya first learned about the real Noda when the latter, a music college student at the time, posted a photograph of her messy room on a website Ninomiya managed. This inspired her to start a comedy series about a sloppy music student. Ninomiya consults with Noda about musical details, claiming to receive inspiration from her, and thanks Noda in the acknowledgments of every tankōbon volume of Nodame Cantabile.[3][4] Noda, currently a piano teacher in Fukuoka (the home-town of her fictional counterpart), composed the music and co-wrote (with Ninomiya) the lyrics for the "Fart Song" Nodame plays in the first episode of the anime series,[3] and visited Ninomiya upon the birth of her son.[5]

Ninomiya also based the character of James DePreist, the musical director of the fictional Roux-Marlet Orchestra in Paris, on a real-life counterpart with the same name. James DePreist was Permanent Conductor of the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, and conducted the Nodame Orchestra, which provided the music for both the live-action drama and the anime adaptations.

Main article: List of Nodame Cantabile chapters

Nodame Cantabile, written and illustrated by Tomoko Ninomiya, started in Kodansha's biweekly josei manga (aimed at younger adult women) manga magazine Kiss on 10 July 2001.[6] Starting in May 2008, the serialization changed from biweekly to monthly because of Ninomiya's pregnancy. Serialization went on hiatus starting October 2008 following the birth of her son and Ninomiya's subsequent diagnosis of having carpal tunnel syndrome, but resumed in March 2009 on an irregular schedule depending on her continued recovery.[7] The series finished on 10 October 2009.[8] A short series, titled Nodame Cantabile: Encore Opera Chapter, was serialized in the same magazine from 10 December 2009 to 25 August 2010.[9][10] Kodansha collected the chapters (including the Encore Opera Chapter chapters) in 25 tankōbon volumes, released from 11 January 2002 to 13 December 2010.[11][12] Ninomiya published a one-shot chapter, set five years after the last installment, in Kiss on 25 February 2016. It was described as a final coda to Nodame and Chiaki's story.[13]

The manga was licensed in North America by Del Rey Manga,[14] who released 16 volumes from 26 April 2005 to 28 July 2009.[15] In 2016 Kodansha USA announced that they received the rights to the series for digital release.[16] They released the series from 26 July 2016 to 27 June 2017.[17][18]

It is licensed in France by Pika Édition,[19] in South Korea by Daiwon C.I.,[20] in Thailand by NED Comics,[21] in Indonesia by Elex Media Komputindo,[22] and in Taiwan by Tong Li Comics.[23]

Live-action drama

edit

Nodame Cantabile has been adapted as a live-action television drama broadcast in 11 hour-long episodes from 16 October – 25 December 2006, on Fuji TV, covering events up to volume 9 of the manga. This was followed by a four-hour sequel television special, Nodame Cantabile New Year's Special in Europe, adapting further events in the manga after Chiaki and Nodame move to Paris, broadcast on Fuji TV on 4 and 5 January 2008. These were directed by Hideki Takeuchi from scripts by Rin Etou, and starred Hiroshi Tamaki as Shinichi Chiaki and Juri Ueno as Megumi "Nodame" Noda.

Music direction was by Daisuke Mogi with original music by Takayuki Hattori, with several works of classical music featured in each episode.[24] The orchestral music was performed by Nodame Orchestra, which consisted of members specially selected for the live-action drama with professional support from the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra. The Orchestra was conducted by James DePriest, Permanent Conductor of the Tokyo Metropolitan Orchestra, who would later have his name and likeness used in the Nodame storyline as the musical director of the fictional Roux-Marlet Orchestra. The opening theme for both the drama series and special was the first movement ("Andante Cantabile") from Beethoven's Symphony No. 7, and the ending theme was Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, both performed by the Nodame Orchestra conducted by Toshiaki Umeda.

An episode of PuriGorota: Uchū no Yūjō Daibōken (プリごろ太 宇宙の友情大冒険), the fictional anime series that Nodame watches, was created by J.C.Staff for the drama. The anime was written and directed by Ken'ichi Kasai, the director of the first season of the Nodame Cantabile anime. Segments of the PuriGorota anime were shown during episode 4 of the Nodame Cantabile drama, with the complete anime released as a DVD extra with the Nodame Cantabile anime series.

On 4 May 2009, the drama began airing in the Philippines on the GMA Network.[25] In South Korea the drama aired on MBC's cable channel where it achieved peak ratings of 2%, which is a record high for a foreign cable drama.[26]

A South Korean adaptation titled Naeil's Cantabile starring Joo Won, Shim Eun-kyung and Park Bo-gum aired on KBS2 in 2014.[27][28]

Reception

edit

The manga of Nodame Cantabile received the 2004 Kodansha Manga Award for best shōjo manga,[43] and was a jury recommendation at both the 2005 and 2008 Japan Media Arts Festivals.[44][45] It was a finalist for the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 2005 and 2006,[46][47] but did not win. In 2006, the English translation was named by the New York Public Library as one of the Books for the Teen Age.[48] The series sold 2.8 million copies in 2008, making it the 8th best-selling manga series in Japan that year.[49] Volume 17 was the third best-selling manga on the Oricon charts for 2007,[50] and volumes 20 and 21 were the 6th and 7th best-selling manga on the Oricon charts for 2008, respectively, selling 1.2 million copies each.[51] According to an Oricon survey men and women aged 10–40, Nodame Cantabile was the second "most interesting" manga series published during 2008.[52][53] The series and its associated music albums are credited with increasing sales of classical music in Japan.[54] By March 2015, the series had over 37 million copies in circulation.[55] By March 2023, it had over 39 million copies in circulation.[56]

The English translation of Nodame Cantabile has been praised for its quirky, interesting characters,[57] sense of humor,[58][59] and clean art.[60][61] Dirk Deppey in The Comics Journal praised Ninomiya's storytelling, saying she "has a solid sense of when to accentuate the highs and lows with just the right note, and understands that one can only do this by not hitting such notes very often", resulting in "an understated soap opera" that is "a seamless and enjoyable storytelling experience."[62] Reviewers have called Ninomiya's character development subtle,[60] while noting it is the character interactions that drive the story,[63][64] and that "each character has a real and lasting effect on others."[60] Reviewers also cite Ninomiya's ability to depict "scenes of people playing music that no one can hear" and her sense of humor as factors in the series' appeal.[57][58][65][66] Ninomiya has been criticized for not handling transitions between storylines well,[67][68] for sometimes letting the characters derail the story,[66] and for art and backgrounds that are sometimes too plain.[60][69][70] Rachel Thorn criticized the English translation for inaccuracies of tone.[71]

The live-action drama received the 2007 Japanese Drama Academy Awards for Best Drama, Best Lead Actress (Juri Ueno), Best Direction (Hideki Takeuchi), Best Music (Takayuki Hattori), and Best Title Song;[72] the show was also recognized overseas as Best Miniseries at the 2nd Seoul Drama Festival.[73] Juri Ueno also was named Best Newcomer at the Élan d'or Awards for her performance,[74] and the next year was named Best Actress at the International Drama Festival in Tokyo Awards for reprising her role as Nodame in the television special.[75] The New Year's Special in Europe received an average household rating of 20.3% and 21.0% for the two nights it was broadcast in Japan, making it them the highest-rated drama episodes of the week.[76] The first soundtrack album for the drama, Nodame Orchestra LIVE!, reached number seven on the Oricon album chart, breaking the record for highest ranked classical music album.[38]

The opening episode of the anime series broke the record for audience share for its time-slot.[77][78] The first DVD volume debuted at number 3 on the Oricon chart for anime the week it went on sale.[79]

Although the anime has not been licensed in English, it has still received notice from English reviewers, who praised the character development and chemistry, the balance between drama and comedy, voice acting, and especially the music—both the performances and how it was presented.[80] Reviewers did complain that the visual design of some secondary characters were too similar.[80]

In 2006, a cafe based on Nodame Cantabile opened in Harajuku, Tokyo, including live music from the live-action drama and sets from the show.[81]

A storyline that pirouettes between bouncy jokes and subtle romance and musical rapture, this is one set of chapters that pulls you in with its sheer effervescence ... [Mozart]'s ebullient style seems to have rubbed off on Tomoko Ninomiya as well, as the entire recital arc glows with Wolfgang's unmistakable joy and humor.
  59. ^ "Graphic Novels - 11/15/2005". Library Journal. 15 November 2005. Archived from the original on 30 August 2008. Retrieved 6 January 2009. Ninomiya's cartooning is fairly simple, but her writing has a refreshing unpredictability.

Tomoko Ninomiya seems to enjoy keeping the panels relatively free of clutter and background distractions, which makes it easier to concentrate on the characters.
  61. ^ Chavez, Eduardo M. (20 May 2005). "Nodame Cantabile Vol. #01". Mania.com. Archived from the original on 24 January 2009. Retrieved 12 December 2008. Ninomiya uses good shape and form to make her characters stand out. On top of that she also has a good sense of style, which adds to the individual characteristics. The strongest aspect of her art is how she draws the expressions of her cast. With so little detail in her faces, she still is able to put in a good amount of emotion in them.
  62. ^ Deppey, Dirk (28 September 2006). "Nodame Cantabile Vol. 6". The Comics Journal. Archived from the original on 22 January 2009. Retrieved 23 March 2021. Ninomiya refrains from excessive melodrama, allowing the scenario to play itself out without calling undue attention to dramatic high points, and trusting to our familiarity with the dramatis personae to draw us into their world.

This series is all about the characters and the changing dynamics between them, and the various members of the supporting cast really do a lot to drive the series along.
  65. ^ Santos, Carlo (5 September 2007). "Review: Nodame Cantabile: GN 10". Anime News Network. Archived from the original on 2 December 2008. Retrieved 10 December 2008. The series' artwork is at its most expressive when it comes to the music performance scenes ... sweeping lines, impressionistic backgrounds, and closeups that almost make it feel like being there... Ninomiya also uses layouts to her advantage—notice, for example, how the panels become more angular and compressed when Chiaki stresses out on his final assignment.

The transition to the next stage of the story, however, is not quite as graceful: it takes some really stupid, improbable plot twists to get Chiaki into Stresemann's world tour, and their itinerary turns out to be even more outlandish.

After so much build up leading to Noda and Chiaki's decision to take their talents abroad, little of the preparation was discussed. Instead, Ninomiya fresh from a trip to France, jumped right into this next chapter

Simple but striking character designs also add to the series' unique style, but the one major flaw is in the backgrounds—characters often find themselves standing in front of plain white space, a generic screentone, or a hastily drawn interior
