It's the CD cover for the Nodame Cantabile rendition of Brahms Symphony No. 1 (Amazon JP link

I have no problem whatsoever with tie-in goods but damn, they sure pulled out the fan(girl)service. There'd probably be more people going into classical music if half the conductors looked like Chiaki there. He looks like a Japanese
Joshua Bell who's a conductor rather than a solo violinist.
Reminds me that I need to catch up on Nodame.
Oh god, I just had a horrible thought. Is there such a thing as...classical music fanfic?! If there's such a thing as Olympics fanfic, then..... Maybe I shouldn't think about this further. D:
