Oh man, I can only imagine how tough it would be to have Nodame Cantabile as your first drama. That's setting the bar pretty damn high! Then again, nothing will ever quite top my affection for Hana Yori Dango, so I think it's always hard to compete with your first. ♥

Here's to hoping Japan produces more awesome WIN like this in the future
Hear, hear! It really is an amazingly well executed drama. I had trouble narrowing down the picspam as I love all aspects of the show. Seriously, the producers and writers of Nodame should have jobs for life. :D

Thanks so much for the lovely comment!
