Synopsis

Shinichi Chiaki is quickly making a name for himself as the principal conductor of the revitalized Roux-Marlet Orchestra, and Megumi "Nodame" Noda has made leaps and bounds as a pianist at the Conservatoire de Paris. However, tensions mount between the two as Nodame feels left behind by Chiaki's growing success and his close friendship with legendary piano prodigy Rui Son. Disregarding her teacher Professor Charles Auclair's advice, Nodame enters another piano competition in an attempt to jumpstart her own performance career. Meanwhile, those around Chiaki and Nodame are at their own crossroads. Rui begins to doubt herself after hearing Nodame's playing and being denied tutelage from Auclair; Maestro Franz von Stresemann faces the reality of his mortality; pianists Yunlong Li and Tatiana Vishneva feverishly prepare for a competition, while the latter also struggles with her growing feelings for oboist and fellow student Yasunori Kuroki. As Chiaki, Nodame, and their friends continue on their respective journeys, they must not only strive to stay true to themselves, but also remember where it all started.

Of all the conclusion that push Nodame to go missing, I never imagine because she egotistical and small-minded in some innocent way. But I also love how in a way she was being an unreliable narrator since she experienced impulsive acts without understanding her own actions. To struggle on giving better performance than before is something that can be scary. However, just as Chiaki fell in love with her piano playing, Nodame fell in love with his musical sense and talent. So it is an appropriate solution to keep Nodame motivated in a precarious industry.

ACCCKKKK!!! 🤩 Nodame really blossomed as a musician and as a performer ─ she has reined her talents and formed them into something greater than herself. 👏 so proud of her!! but after the wonderful high of a performance comes the fall back to reality and the reality is Nodame and Chiaki's relationship is still in a precarious situation. ☹️ have they drifted too far apart to come back together? or is there still time left for them to repair whatever damage has been done? overall, the whole debut scene was truly amaziiinnnggg. SUGOI SUGOI~ ✨
