oh man, i cant believe i forgot to post after watching this. Anyways, i loved the episode. This is why La Corda isnt as good as Nodame. It was a funny episode and there was a lot of music. I especially loved Yuuto's song. I cant believe there is only 2 episodes left. Looking forward to it ^^

yes, nodame in the scarlet o'hara dress was amazing (just as amazing as her performance, until she stopped that is)...i also agree with yuuko, the new concertmaster is hilarious and i'm feeling the mine x kyoya pairing (awesome couple and chiaki didn't realize they were seeing each other, lol)...and yeah, la corda can't compete against nodame...not even yunoki's character can compete against nodame's character...

i just can't believe this is almost over...it feels so short to me...*sighs*...

It was so sad when she stopped, and the notes were all flying around and then the ringtone appeared... :'(

Still funny at other bits like the new concertmaster and Chiaki being very naive about the Mine X Kiyora thing.... Nooooo only two episodes left :O Anime I really like seems so short because i watch it so quickly :P

At first I thought Mine had said one of those 'I was thinking of you, but oblivious type of statements about Kiyora but then he came out sounding really cool. And damn dude, put your cellphone on vibrate on the train.

Isn't it considered rude to talk on the phone whilst on a train in Japan? I'm pretty sure they have signs that remind you to atleast turn the sound off on your mobile as well.

NODAMEEEEE, DON’T STOP, PLEASE (;__;) Darn ringtones. And what happened to her on the past…? Maybe she was abused when she didn’t play like she should…?

Mine x Kiyora couple~ Chiaki was like “Eh? Eh?!” He didn’t notice all this time. I don’t like the cocky concertmaster.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

Uh oh, that hint at her past seemed pretty dark. I feel kinda sorry for the other kid, if he's still under that probably abusive teacher. And the mother..!

I really like her sensei by now, even if I can't remember his name! And his wife is a wonderful addition to the show! Loved how she reenacted Nodame's weird finger-touching thing.

Nodame's powered-up dress was awesome. Shame that she didn't manage the third piece, it started so well - though I had to laugh when the ringtone interfered with her inner sheet music. Preview hints that she won't be able to get back on track, but also suggests possible Chiaki goodness.

Wow.. They played Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement..
I was waiting for that to be played.. Wish it could have been longer..
Enjoyed Nodame's performance but the cliffhanger.. Tsk..

Did Nodame's outer fever and inner demons somehow catch up with her? And what a time for that to happen!
Two more episodes to go...I hope Chiaki gives her a kiss before all this is over.

Nodame and those green beams xD She is so great with piano, talented to the core.

That Mozart was fabulous!!!

Schumann was also amazing, as expected of her. She might win at this rate, yes! Stravinsky was also great.... she stopped. What is gonna happen? I am going to watch the next episode right now...such a cliffhanger.

It was obvious that something would happen during her Petrouchka. Man, that dumbass with his dumbass ringtone xD

It also look like that little brat and his sensei are the root of his demotivation on piano.

The Schumann she did was splendid, even divine. I'm not really a fan of Mozart though.

The dream she made was pretty fucked up xD
The return of the mongoose!

The scene between Mine and the other girl that I forgot her name was so sweet :3

That dress and hairstyle really give Nodame a weird look lol.

Can't believe a damn ringtone stopped her.

Kiyoura and Mine are so great together.

You gotta wing it Nodame, thats the only way!!

That ringtone makes us lol for Japanese people.
That's a theme music of the daily TV peogram that called Kyou no Ryouri (cooking of today) in Japan.
I've just seeked original music on youtube, but I couldn' find original one.
But I found some contents near the original.
The one is a medley for 3 famous musics in Japan though,

I suggest you to watch this before to watch next episode.
