Nodame Cantabile in Europe (Nodame kantâbire in Yôroppa)

Eiffel Tower!

Roast chestnuts!

You're just eating, aren't you?

Gyabo!

Franz?

Dame?

Gyabo!

Monsieur Chiaki

Do you have time now?

I don't!

First I will participate in a Conductors' Competition here...

...to confirm my own ability.

Sorry but he won't take the 1st place!

...it's because my Jean here will take the 1st place!

1st.

Shinichi Chiaki!

It's great that you won, isn't it?

Senpai made one goal in.

"Since I met her, only good things happen"?

Nodame too will do my best!

I won't be defeated!

Because I love your piano!

You always say irrelevant things!

Mukyaaa!

I wonder what do I play the piano for...

My beloved Vieira Sensei...

Finally I managed to reach this stage.

Performance tour with Vieira Sensei?

After the contract is settled, I'll immediately go to see him.

To be honest...

I thought I had been forgotten.

Vieira Sensei...

Don't move!

I guarantee your safety as long as you don't create a stir!

German?

- Oliver!? - Right.

What the hell are you doing!?

No... this is...

Is that old man paying you for this, huh?

Just come with me quietly!

I don't want to!

It's okay! Nothing to be sacred about!

I beg you, come with me!

No!

Look Mommy, those two men are hugging each other!

What are you plotting?

Damn!

Sorry to be abrupt but from now on we will decrease the subtitles...

and will broadcast in Japanese as much as possible.

Paris National High Academy of Music

Wait!

Quick! Yoisho!

Hurry! Hurry! This way! This way!

We made it!

We're almost late because of Nodame!

Tanya, Franck, merci beaucoup.

I'm glad we woke you up!

But I didn't get any notice on the Entrance Ceremony.

No such a thing as entrance ceremony.

You got a notice for the introductory meeting, right?

Eh?

Nodame didn't go to the introductory meeting?

What about the announcement for the Analyse? And the reservation for the side-reading?

Analyse? Reservation?

Sorry! I wish I had told you about it.

Nodame must find it hard to read and write still.

You did it on purpose, didn't you?

Even if only person, it's better to decrease rivals, isn't it?

Hey!

I don't have such intention!

But didn't Nodame attend the same academy as that Chiaki, right?

She's a strong rival, isn't she?

Yes, Chiaki suddenly won out of the blue...

I feel as if my brain suddenly went faraway.

Yes, that was way too amazing.

But Nodame-chan,

the way you are now,

...you can't be together with Chiaki.

You can't be together with Chiaki.

Okay, let's begin the Analyse lesson.

First, listen to the piece...

then from its particular characteristics,

assume the composer and the era.

After that, look at the score...

and try to analyze the harmony and other things. OK!

Ho?

A lost child?

There is a child over there...

In the Conservatoire, as long as you pass the exam you can get in, age doesn't matter.

Though there is an age limit of 22 as the oldest.

Could I possibly be the oldest here?

Now let's listen starting from the 1st piece.

Hoo gee!

While listening to this piece now, please give comments on it.

This is Brahms' Symphony No. 3, 3rd Movement.

Unmistakenly in 1883,

he composed four Symphonies, didn't he?

As Brahms' Symphony, it is simple, flowing, and...

compact!

Brahms at this time composed a lot of songs too...

As to the motif making up the melody,

suppose the first dotted note rhythm is section motif "a",

the next section motif would be...

The So-Fa-Re in the 2nd measure, I think. Right?

No. Because it's the same rhythm as the section motif "a",

it as a transformation of "a".

So it means that there is only one motif?

Isn't it impossible for a melodious theme?!

Even if the 2nd measure has the same rhythm, the intervals are different, so it's a separate motif.

But as the melody starts with an auftakt,

until the next one it should be a single motif.

No. Isn't there one more motif in there?

So many Chiaki Senpais in here...

Then from the dotted quarter note after this dotted rhythm

until the transformation of section motif "a" in the next measure...

what about regarding it as motif "b"?

Wooo!

Thinking that way, the auftakt has a meaning too now, hasn't it?

That's true.

The 2nd measure became connected to the 3rd measure now.

Ah that's true. Yes, right, right. I think so too.

That is a good thought.

I think so too.

You..

You too, please make a comment.

Ano...

Yes... hmmm...

I'll do it next time.

Hehhh?!

Nodame...

Are you alright?

Why...

Huh?

Why do all of you have such a deep knowledge?

Franck too...

Even a child.

Aaah...

Well...

Because I like it.

Besides, I've done such an Analyse lesson at my previous school, so I'm used to it.

Didn't you do it in Japan? Analyse?

"Desert Prometheus Plan"

Is it successful for now?

But different from my expectation,

you're already so black and blue?

Different from Maestro, he's young, so his resisting power is...

Elise.

What's this?

This "Desert Prometheus Plan"?!

I want you to sign a contract with our agency.

HA?

If you belong to our agency, we will give you a good promotion...

A lot of business will be coming to you

so you can work like a cart horse!

This a wonderful contract which will make you an excellent conductor!

Now, will you sign it? Or won't you?

I won't!

Wooooow! Why?

It's the same agency as your respected teacher, you know!

It's definitely not an honest business!

For my promotion, the Competition's agency...

Our agency is more excellent.

Accept the Prize money and the performance right from them.

However all other schedules will all be administered by us.

I refuse!

Such an inhumane agency like this!

Really?

What a pity.

I hadn't wanted to use this means...

Wh... what are you going to do...?

Do you know this story?

Prometheus...

because he gave fire to mortals, Zeus' anger befell on him.

He was chained to a cliff,

and had his intestines pecked and eaten by eagles.

Day by day his intestines were pecked and eaten...

Koshokoshokosho!

Stop it! Heeeeh!

Hoooore horehorehore! Koshokoshokosho!

That serves you right, Chiaki!

This is Jean's revenge!

Jean?

Let him have it! The hand of God!

Cheer up, Nodame!

It's alright, you'll soon get used to it!

Besides, the Practical hasn't started yet anyway.

Ah right...

We want to play the piano soon, don't we?

Yes! After listening to Chiaki's performance in the Competition,

I got highly stimulated too.

I feel that I've found ...

different new discoveries from the past.

As I thought, orchestra is good, isn't it?

Oui, oui!

Nodame will also...

do my best...

and practice more.

For me to be able to perform a piano concerto with Chiaki Senpai,

I must...

Nodame-chan! You haven't changed!
