Nodame Cantabile

I watched the drama Nodame Cantabile. This drama is based on a popular manga turned into anime. The drama is about two extremely gifted pianists. Both of them attend a prestigious graduate musical institution in Japan. One aspires to be a conductor, while the other seemingly does not have much direction, though she often expresses a desire to be a preschool teacher. The story unfolds as each of them learn important lessons about friendship, facing hardships, and enjoying music as something more than notes to be played correctly in an arrangement. The drama is proceeded by two movies. The drama and movies were highly entertaining; I would highly recommend it.
