Nodame Cantabile/Trivia


 * Dyeing for Your Art: All the Japanese actors who played European characters for the live-action adaptation dyed their hair. In particular, Becky and Eiji Wentz dyed their hair orange/strawberry blonde to play the Russian Tanya and French Frank.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Ayako Kawasumi as Nodame, though chances are you won't recognize her until she gets really, really angry. Then she sounds like Saber. Conveniently Kate Higgins voices both Nodame and Saber in the respective dubs.
 * Interestingly, Chiaki sounds a lot like Gilgamesh from the same due to also being voiced by Tomokazu Seki. In the dub he's voiced by Doug Erholtz.
 * No Export for You: Animax Asia produced a (rather good) dub for the series. It can be viewed in the U.S. via online streaming, but its only DVD release was for Region 3 (Hong Kong). Here's a sample.
 * Screwed by the Network: Animax Latin America had the first six episodes dubbed in Spanish, but then never really has been followed up, thanks to Network Decay.
 * It was completed and finally started airing. Sadly, all anime that is left in the network (now known as Spin and dedicated to live-action series) was moved to a space ridiculously early in the morning.
