great show! i never expected to see a japanese drama that resembles the korean drama way of acting ^^but this doesnt mean that j drama is bad actually i love j drama more tha k drama but k drama is more attractive and this show was so attractive like k drama ^^it was super hit drama even i really dont like orchestra but this show was so honourable and fun at the same time chiaki and nodaime were so great they remind me of you are beautiful ! you must watch to laugh from the bottom of your heart sooooooo funny yet hounorable show^_^
