Nodame is upset partly because she thought that this little boy was laughing at her piano playing previously. Actually, he was only laughing at how funny her mouth looks. (aye.. this is weird.. sometimes Nodame does not seem to bother about people's opinions but yet sometimes.. she cares too much.. =/)
Chiaki performs with Wiltord Symphony Orchestra for the first time after his win at the Platini Concour competition. He performs Ravel's Ma Mere L'Oie.His family is present to support him.After his performance, Nodame goes backstage to get the First autograph.Not only did she get the autograph.. she also gets a hug and a...Kiss?! (It's not shown but since she faints.. I believe the kiss has happened..)After an art museum tour, they decide to eat chestnuts by the river.That's when.. Nodame addresses Chiaki-sempai as Shinichi-kun for the first time.. (that's quite sweet.. ^^)She also tries to ask for another kiss as the first one was too hazy in her memory.. haha..Again.. whether they kiss or not, it's not shown.But they finally hold hands. Nodame is of course.... HAPPY!
