In particular, the first OP [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZZAd3BVHV4 'Allegro Cantabile' by SUEMITSU & THE SUEMITH]] comprises lyrics of which are about the joys devoting one's life to playing music. Also the first ED theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZxggflHeRw 'Konna ni Chikaku de...' by Crystal Kay]] is beautiful. If there were a theme song for the tropes CannotSpitItOut, and AllLoveIsUnrequited, it would be this.

** Chiaki frequently uses physical violence against Nodame, PlayedForLaughs in the manner of a BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine. In the live-action version especially, however, it can come across as less slapstick and a bit more disturbing for some (ironically for most of the same people it's a DoubleStandard since they'll give a pass to female {{tsundere}}s who do the exact same thing to male anime characters who act like Nodame for RuleOfFunny, and they're often fine with others hitting her for RuleOfFunny such as Masumi hitting her [[BerserkButton for touching his instruments]]).
** In one Paris-Hen episode, Nodame ''herself'' [[{{Yandere}} becomes extremely violent against Chiaki]], going as far as kick him in the head. It's supposed to be partly PlayedForLaughs and partly PlayedForDrama, but it's hard to be sympathetic with her at that point.
