By the time you see this post I'd be on my way to the beach with a friend who wants to do a tryout for amateur surfing competition. I figure I can use a few days off to relax a bit since I'm a bit tired lately. I was actually planning to post Nodame Cantabile episode 3 but I didn't have the chance to take any screencaps before we left. Well, I have my laptop with me so if I'm motivated, I'll probably post it once I get there. Unfortunately this means that a few posts like Kekkaishi will be delayed until I come back early Wednesday or earlier if the weather sucks. Anyway, to pad this otherwise small entry, I included images from The Television magazine featuring Nodame and Chiaki (Ueno Juri and Tamaki Hiroshi) from Nodame Cantabile. As you can see, the two are holding lemons similar to character on Suzumiya Haruhi DVD Cover. When I saw the magazine, I remember Muhootsaver mentioned about this. I find it amusing and bizarre and worth a mention again.

Thank you for posting the pictures. Will you post the contents of the article too? After you're thoroughly wet and won the competition, that is. :)

I envy you going to the beach.

Judging to the official website informations, it seems that we would get to hear the crucial Piano Concerto very soon. I am very worried that they would be doing this so soon, up to that point, all the musical impressions has been one of idiosyncrasy, which heavily favor passionate liberal interpretation, but that Piano Concerto must be the one at the pinacle of orthodoxy. You can cover many weakness if you are doing something interesting with liberal interpretations with heavy emphasis in various rubatos, but only way to distiguish yourself in orthodox interpretation is flawless technique and very deep understanding of the piece itself; any slight flaw in performance or understanding of 'proper' interpretation is easily noticeable and quickly degrades the experience to any well-informed listeners. I am worried, yet is excited about this.

Sorry to disappoint you but only my friend did the tryout. :) I'll try to scan the other pages once I have the chance.
