Yeah, Nodame being more reserved during her performance is a definite sign of maturity to me. She knows she has a duty to live up to (giving a performance she agreed upon), and she goes out and does it despite her personal feelings (even if her performance suffers slightly because of it). It's only after Nodame finishes her job that she is able to let her emotions out. .-= Shinmaru´s last blog ..Nodame Cantabile Finale – 3 =-.

I totally think it shows maturity. Instead of falling apart like she did (maybe I should say performing unevenly) during the Maradona competition (season 1), she performed very professionally.

Hmm, I do wonder if she was having as much fun, and how much Chiaki has to do with it. Nodame was pretty reserved throughout the performance. But she seemed reserved even before the performance began and before she knew Chiaki couldn’t make it. I don’t know. I feel like I want to chalk some of that up to maturity, but maybe I’m overstating it.

[...] choice, then Nodame should be able to be selfishly stubborn about accepting that choice, right? Like RP, it’s moments like this that make me wonder whether Nodame and Chiaki will be together at the [...]

One of the nice points that this episode made is the constant tug of war between work and fun and responsibility and ambition. That’s a lot of factors that they threw in there. Knowing Chiaki, he does want to advance his career and all that, but Nodame’s happiness will suffer for it.

I almost swore I detected a tone of sadness from Nodame during that performance scene, as though she wasn’t having as much fun as she would have had Chiaki been there. The question Mme. Lambert asked her at the end was rather telling. She covered it up well for the concert, but her emotions at the end pretty much said it all.

You know, I thought about this… and I realized I had no comeback. Ok, I don’t blame him completely but yeah it was a jerk move.

I do fault him. That was a jerk move. It’s not like she performs all the time, like he does.
