Takenaka Naoto

Many years ago in Japan, Shinichi Chiaki (Hiroshi Tamaki) and Megumi “Nodame” Noda (Juri Ueno) met at university. The former was a demanding perfectionist who dreamed of becoming a top conductor, and the latter was a sloppy pianist with natural talent but no affinity for learning. They never expected to become lovers, but Cupid had other plans for them. Eventually, and in spite of their very different personalities, they became a couple.

Chiaki’s career has taken him to France, where he is starting to make a name for himself. Nodame is also in France, where she is studying at a prestigious conservatory. But cracks are starting to appear in their relationship. Chiaki wonders if he should have let Nodame live a happier life in Japan, away from the stuffiness and strictly ordered world of European classical music. And Nodame also wonders if she should step back and let Chiaki shine without having to worry about her. But each of them still clings to the secret dream of performing onstage together. Could this – and their long-held feelings for one another – help love prevail in the “final act” of their love story?

This film was based on a popular 2001 manga series named “Nodame Cantabile” that also inspired a hit 20206 live-action series and a 2014 South Korean remake. The film is the sequel to 2009’s “Nodame Cantabile: The Movie 1.”

“Nodame Cantabile: The Movie 2” is a 2010 Japanese movie that was directed by Hideki Takeuchi and Yasuhiro Kawamura.

Nodame Cantabile: The Movie 2

Shinichi Chiaki (Hiroshi Tamaki) and Megumi “Nodame” Noda (Juri Ueno), first met at university. Chiaki was an arrogant and condescending – but genial – musician with secret dreams of becoming one of the world’s leading classical music conductors. Nodame, meanwhile, was a scatterbrained pianist with little regard for musical theory. Over time, the duo eventually found love, despite their many differences.

Now, years later, Chiaki finds himself on the verge of his dream. After winning a highly prestigious music competition, he is appointed as the conductor of a French orchestra – ahead of a major performance. But when he arrives to check on the orchestra’s condition, he is shocked to find the entire outfit in disarray. Nodame, who fears that Chiaki’s new project will tear him away from her, vows to help him. The orchestra’s first performance is disastrous, and now Chiaki and Nodame must find a way to turn its fate around. Will they succeed – or will Chiaki’s big moment end in disappointment?

This film was based on a hit 2001 manga series named “Nodame Cantabile” that also spawned a popular live-action series of the same name in 2006. It is the precursor to 2010’s “Nodame Cantabile: The Movie 2.”

“Nodame Cantabile: The Movie 1” is a 2009 Japanese movie that was directed by Hideki Takeuchi.
