Line 24:
* [[Blue with Shock]]: Happens a lot to Nodame--and everyone who gets involved with her.
* [[Book Ends]]: The first anime season uses these expertly, with the first scene of episode one, a flashback, running alongside a "narration" (words appearing an otherwise blank screen) about memories, and the final scene of the last episode continuing the thought to reflect one of the series' big themes and the development of the characters. Makes an already touching finale so damn-near perfect, that this troper is convinced it is impossible to watch it without feeling happy.
** In the live-drama, the first song that the group together as an orchestra was Beethoven
* [[The Cameo]]: Hige Danshaku in season two during Nodame's recital at a French castle.

In the manga, the microbes from Moyasimon make an appearance in Nodame's curry!
* [[The Capital of Brazil Is Buenos Aires]]: When Chiaki goes to {{spoiler|[[Sao Paulo]], in Brazil}}, the guy that caught him in the airport takes him to the beach. [[Did Not Do Research|Almost anyone]] knows that city has no beaches so near.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: GYABOOOOOOO~
* [[Child Prodigy]]: Season 2's Son Rui started performing internationally at age 10. Luca is a child also accepted into the same conservatory as Nodame. Of course, neither compares to the real life child prodigy in season 2, Mozart!
Line 60:
* [[Josei]]
* [[Just Friends]] / [[Better as Friends]]: Stresemann and the school's principal decided to be this after the principal had an illness that stopped her from playing the piano when she was younger. Stresemann's assistant Elise mentioned that if not for this illness, the two of them may have become lovers.
* [[Ladykiller in Love]]: Stresemann, who is a borderline [[Dirty Old Man]],
* [[Last-Minute Hookup]]
* [[Les Yay]]: Nodame and Saiko have an ... interesting encounter in a karaoke-bar. It's rather short-lived though, since Nodame is very drunk and Saiko clearly not interested.
Line 69:
** Mozart's [[Ominous Latin Chanting|Requiem Dies Irae]] playing during these scenes does not help.
* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]: [[Cloudcuckoolander|Nodame]] to [[Straight Man|Chiaki]]. Chiaki takes a while to warm to Nodame, though.
* [[Manly Tears]]: Everyone, including [[The Stoic|Chiaki and Kiyora]], get a bit teary as they realize this may be their last concert together before they all go their

* [[Product Placement]]: The show is sponsored by Yamaha. Guess what brand ''every'' piano is. Yes, also in France, which is not that surprising, a lot of music-school pianos are Yamahas, even in France.
* [[Save Our Team|Save Our Orchestra]]: Of the musical variety. Starring Chiaki in his first full-time conducting job with Paris' Roux-Marlet Orchestra. The orchestra itself has [[Glory Days|a storied and prestigious 150 year long history]], and was conducted in the past by Chiaki's [[Trickster Mentor|famous mentor]], [[Lovable Sex Maniac|Franz Stresemann]].
