Nodame Cantabile: The Movie I

Shinichi Chiaki (Hiroshi Tamaki) takes the podium in front of an orchestra assembled from substitutes, with a promotion exam at his music conservatory still to pass. Megumi Noda (Juri Ueno), his devoted Nodame, stays close and cheers him on while he works to rebuild the broken ensemble. Hideki Takeuchi keeps the rehearsals loud and cheerful, and Chiaki, the aspiring conductor, wants this one orchestra to launch his career.
