Many people say Nodame comic is heading gradually to the end. (But they don't think it will end this year. Some people think it will end early next year. Nobody knows but Ninomiya-sensei ) All of us are expecting that we can hear the announcement of the Nodame Final(?) as soon as the comic finishes.

i've been following the manga via reading online and it does seem it's nearing the end..waaa!! anticipating that announcement too!!

In the DVD we can also see the interview with Tamaki-kun. He said he had continued meatless diet to drop his cheeks off during the shooting. He seemed to �genjoy�h looking like a deer. The three main actresses laughed many times saying �gTamaki-san�fs face is so funny!�@He really looks like a deer without the mask!�h.....I laughed out too.

so he was on a diet because of Shikaotoko? Does he have to do that? I mean in order to get the "deerlike" look?

I sooo miss his old look

As you know, Tamaki-kun doesn't hesitate showing his funny faces.
He seemed to enjoy his deerlike look and the other casts and staffs too.
The director of Shikaotoko Aoniyoshi said in the interview, "I was very impressed to know that Tamaki-kun is really a person of high caliber. Any other actor wouldn't accept the offer of this role. His attitude toward his role was so natural that I enjoyed working with him very much."

At first I was sad as he threw away his Chiaki look, but now I'm glad to hear the casts and staffs admire him in the DVD.

I believe he will regain his Chiaki look once the announcement of making new Nodame comes.

Honestly, I couldn�ft enjoy KIDS... The theme of the movie is friendship and parental bond. Especially it focuses on the frienship among the three main characters. But it seemed to me that the role Tamaki-kun played was utterly apart from the other two roles...It made me feel uncomfortable while watching it...
So I don�ft know if I should buy the DVD which is released in August. I�fd buy it if someone said the bonus disc was very good.

this is another reason why I love him... he really is a profesional one, a good actor. hope he can make his international debut soon.

Shiori-chan thanks for your response. wondering if you have the written translation (script) of that interview. I really want to have it...

also hope that they will make another Nodame Cantabile drama.

I completely agree. The last thing he needs is to go on a diet. He has lost too much weight already. Just compare him in Waterboys to when he did Nodame. And now he's even skinnier??

Hiroshi is a natural born actor. With just a change of hair and facial expression he can create a totally different character. He's the guy with a thousand masks. The other nice thing is he's really down to earth in real life which makes him very easy to work with. I respect the guy. He knows what he's doing and he's very good at it be it acting or writing songs/singing.

She said �gI was going to finish the managa by Vol. 21, but I couldn�ft. There were a lot of scenes where I thought I had to detail the feelings of the characters...As a result, I've expanded it a little."
�gA little�h ..... Today Nodame Vol 21 has come out, and I�fve just read it. �gA little�hmeans the manga will finish very soon, right? I got very excited to think about coming of Nodame�fs new drama( or movie ).

Yamada Takayuki said in a magazine, �gAt first when I read the script, I couldn�ft understand why Garai(the priest he plays) is so desperate to help Yuuki. So I asked the producer. When he answered Garai is a gay, I understood all.LOL I�fve been trying to express his feelings toward Yuuki so that people can understand he is a gay, although the producer doesn�ft want to emphasize the gay relationship.�h
Keep an eye on Yamada's impassioned glance, guys!

BTW, I wrote the Nodame manga may finish soon, however, Ninomiya-sensei will stop the manga soon because she's pregnant! Well, have a healthy baby, Ninomiya-sensei!
And after an enough break, please come back to Nodame World ASAP.
