Ueno Juri Bids Farewell to Nodame
The end of Nodame Cantabile is fast approaching with the release of the movie Nodame Cantabile Saishu Gakusho ~ Kouhen, out next Saturday nationwide in Japan. The two lead actors, Tamaki Hiroshi and Ueno Juri, were joined by fellow cast members including Eita and Koide Keisuke in Tokyo for the premiere of the movie. Over 1,000 fans came to show their support, making it extremely lively at the scene.
Adapted from a manga series, the live action drama was an immense hit when it aired in 2006. Similarly, the character of Nodame has left deep impressions on the viewers. As the film and manga will be wrapping up at the same time, it's no wonder that actress Ueno Juri is finding it hard to let go. "I cried when filming was over. It's hard to believe that Nodame has been with me for the past four years!" As for Chiaki, Tamaki Hiroshi says he fondly remembers all the conducting scenes. It was a lot of work, but he relished in the experience.
