Yes, La Corda D’Oro:D
In Seiso Academy, the students were split into two sections — the General Education and the Music Education. Our main heroine here called Hino Kahoko, was a student from the General Ed. One day, she ran into a fairy called Lili, who’s a musical fairy that only appeared to certain people. It was hinted that the director of the academy could see this fairy as well. The Academy was going to hold it’s concours again, a competition for those who were good in music. Kaho was shocked to find herself listed as on of the participants even though she couldn’t play any instrument. It was revealed that Lili was the one behind this, and he gave her a magical violin for her to participate in the concours. She refused at first, but was pressed by Lili to join. Slowly, she began to fell in love with the violin and she met really nice people along the way [ Len Tsukimori, the blue hair guy, who played the violin. Kazuki Hihara, the light green hair guy, who played the trumpet. Ryuotaro Tschuira, the dark green hair guy, who played the piano. Azuma Yunoki, the purple hair guy, who played the flute. Keiji Shizumu, the blond hair guy, who played the cello. Shoko Fuyummi, a girl that is sadly not shown in the picture above, who played the clarinet]
Kaho met alot of obstacles along the way, but those people she loved and liked around her were always there to support her. Watch to find out what happen!
For me, I really like this anime because it revolves around music. The music that they play is so beautiful and it is because of this anime that I fell in love with a lot of new classical pieces that I’d never known before! There are other pieces that I’ve heard but I’d never known the name, so I was quite happy that the characters inside used these pieces. I don’t know if this is a spoiler, or if it will put off anyone who is going to watch it, but there is quite little romance here. Even though ultimately, almost all the male characters fell in love with the girl, the girl is the usual character whereby she remained oblivious to the attention she gained from those around her.
I can’t really tell if this will be good for those who don’t love music/ never liked music before, because I’m not one of them, so I can’t really put myself into their shoes. However, I would say that this anime is a good way to start exposing yourself to music, because it’s really good! Otherwise, one can also watch for the plot though I would say that he or she wouldn’t be enjoying the anime fully then.
I learn the piano and have only started loving it much more in the recent years/months. I’m fortunately one of those who chose piano out of my own accord, so I’m more willing to learn it as compared to those around me who were sort of forced by their parents. Therefore, this anime is very enjoyable to me! So much so that as aforementioned, I’ve managed to finish 20 episodes in like… 2 days, and finished the entire season 1 + special episode + 2 more episodes titled: La Corda D’Oro Secondo Passo
I didn’t read the manga though but I would love to check it out when my exams are over!
*For those who are interested, in La Corda D’Oro, they played really nice and famous pieces like Ave Maria, Serenade by Schubert, La Campanella, Salut D’Amour etc
Hope this review helps!^^

it’s v. i promise myself to comment quickly this time…
I’m so GLAD you like this anime. The manga is not done yet so i’m quite impatient to see how they end it…
and i think it’s reasonable to say that pple who have no particular interest in music will like this drama as well (if they are into shoujo genre of course) since i know friends who like this and who don’t know much about classical music at all.
I’ve just watched PK…sigh. why do guys blow hot and cold.
now i’m off to watch MGIAG and Fugitive. As much as I care about those two, i really really hope PK’s ratings rise.

nope… the manga is not finished yet but i sure hope she ends up with someone… anyone would be fine by me, just someone. i hate it when dramas/mangas/whatever else set up for some romance and ends up killing it. atachinshi no danshi nearly killed me when horikita rejected sho out of fear of rejection. thank god they kinda hinted something in the end as well. or for BoF when kim bum never really confessed. i’m kinda confused, r they officially dating or not.. at least, that’s better than what happened with Hanayoridango and meteor garden.
lol. don’t worry about wirtting recaps since ur busy.. life should take priority (and here i think i should take my own advice). i was literally squealing at the backhug, or any times seungjo smiled… i loved him the first half of the ep. and then he turned all mean again. sigh.
just watched ep 10 live. it was awesome. the first part was depressing but the second part was really cute+squeal-inducing. and no preview… as expected but still disappointing altho i guess they compensated with the cute special tennis scene.
and ill reply to ur other reply here as well.
well, if PK stops, i’m sure there’s something that’ll come up as well. and try to find pple with the same interest as you (there’s plenty)…j-entertainment as a bunch of fans and you’re an entertaining writer as well+uve just started.
OMG, you haven’t seen Pride… now, THAT’s a MUST-SEE drama… ok, im afraid i’m overhyping it but seriously, go see it. it’s not a too old dorama. kimutaku has older dramas (that are really really good as well). but, yeah, please go check it.i don’t know if you’ll like it but i’d hate it for you to miss it without even trying it.
Kurosagi: both girls? which one. i remember only horikita… im a yamaki shipper since nobuta days but i also like masami. it’s a toss up really.
and OMG no.2… you HAVE to watch WGM if you haven’t. if you want to watch it (i don’t know if u need subs or not). no subs is easy to find. without subs, there’s mysoju.com… man, that show is awesome. KHJ’s ep start ep 9 from what i remember. the guy is totally hilarious. i knew it before watching WGM because SS501 appeared in other shows as well but WGM particularly highlighted that aspect of his personality. there’s other couples too and you should totally watch them too. i didn’t know half of them before starting the show and now, i love all of them, even the mania Witch couple. yep, the mosquitoes thing is when he was smashing mosquitoes and felt like he was protecting his wife by doing it. haha. only the reason there was so many mosquitoes in the loft was because of the opened window. -_-”
lol.. his collarbone+neck during the piggyback.. i totally wanted to kiss/bite it… sigh. yeah, yoo eunhye in goong was cute as well. but i think i like hani slightly better even tho she seems like she forgot to bring her pride with her whenever she meets seungjo.
piggyback.. what about New Heart? MGIAG also had a piggyback but it was the girl piggybacking the guy. i dont remember winter sonata piggyback… hum, which one was it… and leeseungki, skinny? OMG, you haven’t seen his abs? the guy is far from skinny. he’s quite buff behind his prim and proper shirts. i remember in an interview, he said he worked out a lot.
and sorry for the long comment… AGAIN.

Oh yep they did get together! It was kinda a hinted ending in that sense, if I remember correctly he told Ga Eul that she would be the first person he would visit after he returned from overseas… and when the kid that Ga Eul was teaching asked if he was her bf he didn’t deny I think:D I like them the best in BOF somehow they were so cute!:DD
I’m waiting eagerly for the preview to come out!^^ I squealed so much in episode 10 it was quite unlike myself:P
Thank you^^ [ reference to entertaining writer]!
Okay! I shall check it out [Pride] after my exams. I think I didn’t want to watch at first cos I didn’t like kimutaku much.. I tried finding WGM online but I don’t understand? It’s like when I start from episode 9, I don’t see the Hyun Joong couple but another couple… so I watched a bit and was so ??? that I just closed the window. LOL.
I think I like both equally! They just look so similar and have the same feel, it’s kinda hard to determine for me which one is cuter.:P Oops! He’s not skinny? hahahaha he looked so…. young and small I don’t know I just get the feeling that he’s very skinny^^
It’s okay!

its v. oh so they did go out together… i didn’t know how to interpret the “my boyfriend was from sweden” thing she told her students… it could either be “he’s really my bf” or it could be “im saying it cuz i wish thats what it was and like to boast about it”.
about WGM, there’s several couples on the show, and each couple takes up just a part of the show. sometimes, the couples meet together and have a trip together as well. seriously, don’t get discouraged because you would miss one of the most entertaining shows ever (and that’s not just me. a bunch of pple agree so i think theres certainly smth to that). if you have trouble starting from ep 9, then perhaps you should start from ep 1 altho hyunjoong only enters in ep 9. but i know a bunch of pple who started at ep 9 for hyun joong and were still able to catch up on what happened with the other couples as well and then of course, they all went back to watch the first 8 ep later on.
but i dont know… maybe it’s not of your taste.

actually in the manga she already has someone who really moves her so much. but the other guys also seem to be zeroing in on her in showing her their true feelings…
but then in the end she will choose only one of those gorgeous and talented men…
but i think the ultimate rivals for her would always be ryou and len..
but i still vote for len, but if he goes abroad.. (i know spoiler right, sorry) i will still root for him..
anyway just saw the raw of the lastest episode, and some are clearly disappointed with len and clearly rooting for ryou..
but i will always be for LEN, all the way..!!
and maybe next is Ryou..

I have watched quite few numbers of Japanese dramas and movies even l do not understand even a single words.

I kinda love goodlooking actress and actor hence l don’t prefer Hana Kimi Taiwanese, Ella is just overacting. I recommends for Jap drama lovers to watch Koizora, Yamato, Nobuta, Kimi wa petto, Gokusen and few others, they are really nice and worth watching. Thnx

I’ve watched the first episode of The Legend of Brown Sugar Chivalries & loved it so far.

K.O.3an Guo is finished & I loved it! One of my favourite dramas! Hayate The Combat Butler is finished & I loved it though I was a little disappointed at the ending. Myung Wol The Spy is also finished & I loved that too but the ending was a bit weird & random.
I see you’ve watched all of Hana Kimi Remake. I’m still waiting on subs 😦 I’m also still waiting for subs for the last episode of Ikemen Desu Ne. I can’t believe that Protect The Boss has just two episodes left! I don’t want it to end! Are you watching Protect The Boss again?
