Just two more episodes left? How will they end this well? Don't rush it, don't overdo it, don't use any clichés, per favore. Magnificent performance, no less. I would have loved it when her entrance would have been as great, but they probably showed her as the regular Nodame to the audience, in order to wow them even more. I can see why, I just want her to go past that fase for once and truly grow.

Soo.. she doesn't wanna see Chiaki now huh?

I loved how at one point in the performance Nodame and Chiaki had identical sweat drops on their cheeks.

Ohh, why isn't next week sooner!

("spoilered" for size)

A very good summary and I completely agree.

The proposal was her desperate try to hold on to Chiaki, Chiaki always just focused on Nodames music rather than on her. Now that there was Rui who was an equal to Nodame, plus she was already famous and she fulfilled all the Dreams that Nodame actually had... all that while she wasn't really allowed to perform.

I'm really happy Stresemann gave her this opportunity so she could finally fulfill one of her dreams (wanting to play with an orchestra).
Also I wonder what O'Claire-sensei will say once he hears of her performance. :D

Well atleast they did show seconds of role from the S- orchestra
Okuyama, Masumi
Mine, Ryutarou
Miki, Kiyora

I wonder what had happen to them

Oh haha I'm happy for Nodame, now she can be in an orchestra.

Nodame's statistics lols 88..??
What the, Stresemann's poise

............Nodame's entrance whaahaha and the guys beside Chiaki's reaction

GO NODA!! from the start to finish I still had this goosebumps =)

It's been like 43 episodes and still they aren't an official couple yet! =(

Two words... Damn Awesome. Her performance was that and then some. Just to change the pace from the rehearsal to the performance, was just unreal. She has some amazing talent. As for her not seeing Chiaki... all I can say is.... wow and... damn. That is huge... he decided to go back to Italy (that what you call denying your true feelings huh? ;)) like a tool that he is? What the hell man? Chiaki the next 2 episodes... he has to man up or we are not going to like the ending at all. ---- Randy

If I remember right, this is the last series of Nodame seeing as how the manga ended a little while ago in Japan. So, it's done after this season -- well, aside from that OAD episode which will probably be fluff like the last one.

I suppose this has been brought up before but this Chopin instance reminded me of the previous Lang Lang discussion on these threads... as to how much of the influence for Nodame's peculiarities are derived therefrom. I dunno, but if you want to see it...

T.T, I feel like Nodame and Chiaki are going to go their on separate ways here sadly. Though it is pretty much Chiaki's fault completely, he could have invited her to play a Piano Concerto for his opera but he believed she wasn't good enough for it or some crap although boy did she prove him wrong and he turned down her proposal... Well sad but oh well, interested to see what will happen next.

Nice Nodame shines. That was a great performance.
And the part when Milch was exhausted said "I dont want to go. I want some ice cream'' :P

Only 2 more episodes left. Cant wait to see how things will turn out at the end.

Go Nodame!!! Milhi sure is hyperactive for a oldman.

"Nodame Gumi" Gumi as in vocaloid? xD

Finally, Nodame Cantabile! I waited for it so damn much. Beautiful and amazing, she rocked there! I am so so happy for her...

Nodame is acting pretty selfishly imo. She's ditching Auclair's classes, without him she wouldn't even be in Paris, and then not even letting Chiaki congratulate her who traveled all the freaking way from Italy just to see her debut.

Don't give me that "well he did turn down her proposal" excuse either. It was random and unexpected, just like when Chiaki tried to kiss her the first time and she denied him. I'm pretty sure she's always joking around and asking him to marry her too so it's not unreasonable that he wasn't sure if she was serious or not this time around.

Then there's also his fear that she was going to lose interest in playing the piano professionally after accomplishing her goal which was to play that certain piece in a piano concerto with Chiaki. Now that Chiaki and Rui did what she dreamed of doing together she was going to give up on her goal, plus everything she's accomplished to get so far, and just decide to get married instead.
