Nodame Cantabile, eps. 7–12

Um, so synopses.

Yes.

Lesson seven.

Um, by the way, Wikipedia lists episode titles for this, but I didn't see them anywhere in the episode, so I didn't include them.

Except for that-

Yeah

...

this one seemed to have the title The Idiot's Orchestra, which is not what Wikipedia said the title of this episode was.

So, um, but the, a thing that looks like it could have been-

It's very out of it [laughs]

... a title card came in and said The Idiot's Orchestra.

Um, so this says, "Chiaki is still having trouble getting the orchestra into shape, and everyone's confidence shatters under his harsh criticisms.

Uh, with help from Nodame, Chiaki finally realizes Stresemann's reasoning behind the S Orchestra just in time for the concert subscription series.

And the S Orchestra manages to impress their audience with an unorthodox display." Um, I'll go into a little bit more detail here.

So one, we, we get a bit about the role of the concertmaster, which is the first violin, and, uh, we're told the second in command of the orchestra.

Um, they...

I- in this case, Mine is concertmaster.

Uh, and so his role is to, like, especially f- follow the, the conductor, be, like, really locked in, and reading the conductor's intentions throughout, you know, him conducting.

Uh, and helping further convey that to the other members of the band through his own sort of, uh, both signals to them with his body as well as, like, how he plays the music, right?

Mm-hmm.

Um, there's also talk in here, we get some, like, teachers discussing if they should just dissolve the S Orchestra.

Um, and Tanioka, who's the, the sort of teacher who fosters the, like, fail students, right?

Yeah.

Uh, who was teaching Nodame, and Chiaki got assigned there.

Um, he's the only one who seems to be supporting them.
