Great Teacher Onizuka, aka GTO, came out in 1998 and is based on a manga and anime series with the same name. It is also the sequel to the manga Shonan Love Gang.

GTO is another school drama that is very much like Gokusen. Both teachers in those series have deliquent students who they need to set straight. Both teachers have some kind of gang related background. The main difference is that one’s male and one’s female. ^_^

This drama was actually pretty successful. A special was released for this series as well as a movie. For the full synopsis check out:

Nodame Cantabile is the best drama of the 51st TV Drama Academy Awards and best miniseries for the 2nd Seoul Drama Awards! Besides that there is also an ongoing manga and a special for this series!

Nodame, the main character of the series, is played by Ueno Juri and it’s very interesting to see how it’s so different from her role in Last Friends and I think she did a great job. I’m assuming others thought so as well since she was named best actress for the 1st Tokyo Drama Awards.

I think Drama Wiki’s synopsis describes it best:

Synopsis

Based on the hit comic book by Tomoko Ninomiya, this is a fun-filled quirky romantic story of two very opposite people.

Megumi Noda, or “Nodame” is a piano student at Momogaoka College of Music. An extremely talented pianist who wants to be a kindergarten teacher, she prefers playing by ear rather than reading the music score. She is messy and disorganized, takes baths several days apart and loves to eat, sometimes stealing her friend’s lunchbox when it is filled with delicacies.

Shinichi Chiaki, is Momogaoka’s top student. Born into a musical family, he is talented in piano and violin and has secret ambitions to become a conductor. An arrogant multi-lingual perfectionist who once lived abroad in the music capitals of the world as a young boy, he feels mired in Japan because of a childhood phobia.

They meet by accident. Nodame quickly falls in love, but it takes much longer for Chiaki to even begin to appreciate Nodame’s unusual qualities. Their relationship causes them both to develop and grow. Because of Nodame, Chiaki got the opportunity to lead a student orchestra and begins to have a broader appreciation of people’s musical abilities. Because of Chiaki, Nodame faces her fears and enters a piano competition. Opportunities open up as both begin taking risks, stretching themselves far more than they ever thought possible.

I thought Nodame Cantabile was very good romantic comedy. To download visit the Disclaimer page and click on the Downloads section!
