the day i'm talking about music and chiaki senpai =)

warning: this post may be filled with lots of photos and bias comments leaning towards chiaki senpai. hehe

My idea is that there is music in the air, music all around us; the world is full of it, and you simply take as much as you require. ~Edward Elgar

i have always loved listening to music. and music is kind of my escapism. i turn to music whenever i'm sad. tuning into something to distract my mind, something to cry on, something to laugh on. and it actually works you know. music as a theraphy. for me la, at least. anyway, i listen to songs, music with wordings. it never really came to me to listen to music only. like instrumentals i mean. besides kenny g's the moment, and that's just it

but recently, i came across this japanese drama, nodame cantabile. awesome gila! it had once been aired on 8tv but i didn't catch it back then. now dapat pinjam cd and the story was layaaan siot. about a number of students in music school. gorgeous chiaki who specialized in piano and violin but dreams of becoming a conductor. and cutie- pie nodame who learns piano but just wants to play it happily and dreams of becoming a kindergarden teacher instead. and other characters as well like the gay masumi, si gatal milch stresseman, pengerusi rambut naruto (lupe nama)

so the story revolves around each of them trying to achieve own's dream, playing in an orchestra, having the biggest crush on chiaki (who wouldn't?) and berebut chiaki (again, who wouldn't? hehe). anyway, this is a must- watch. the comic- like performance was damn funny. i have yet to watch the sequel which i am waiting patiently. hmph. here's some pixs

suka suka suka! i lurve music. and chiaki senpai of course. hehe. the whole story was filled with classical music at all times. from mozart, schubert, beethoven and all those genius musicians which i can't quite grasp their names. the music was really nice though, thus another reason to enjoy the show! bravo! do go watch ok?

There is in souls a sympathy with sounds:
And as the mind is pitch'd the ear is pleased
With melting airs, or martial, brisk or grave;
Some chord in unison with what we hear
Is touch'd within us, and the heart replies.
~William Cowper
