Nodame Cantabile: Nodame to Chiaki no Umi Monogatari

Synopsis

Franz von Stresemann, a world-famous conductor, sends his top students—Shinichi Chiaki, Megumi "Nodame" Noda, Ryuutarou Mine, and Masumi Okuyama—to the Nina Lutz Music Festival in Nagano to study under renowned conductors. During the trip, Chiaki grows annoyed with his companions' behavior until he falls asleep. When he wakes up, he finds they have taken a detour to a beach in Niigata. While Mine relaxes in the sun and Nodame and Masumi swim in the sea, Chiaki stays inside the beach club, trying to hide his fear of water. When Nodame suggests renting an inflatable boat to explore a nearby island, can Chiaki keep his fear a secret?
