La Corda d'Oro
La Corda d’ Oro ~primo passo~ Summer Special “Reliving the Corda Love”
hawtt +___+ Tsukimori and Tsuchiura are chums, for once :3
It’s been quite some time since I went into major fangurl mode, and now is the time to rekindle that flame! :3 This post is almost a week in the making, caused by delays due to slacking off, and reading Elements of Style by Strunk & White, which made me all the more see how bad of a writer I am. It allowed me to reflect on my writing sins, compelled me to revise my post, making it less horrendous, but still far from good. ok, enough of that first. *ahem*
I missed you Corda! Though it’s more like, I’ve been driven by my guilt for postponing this post for about a month now (because I supposedly received my DVD last month) >.> I loved this anime, and I still do, despite how it made my wallet run dry, as I found myself unable to resist buying the game (Encore2, PS2), mangas (both the official manga and the anthologies), DVDs (1st and the last), illustration books, fanbooks, Lala Magazines bought simply for the Corda furokus… what the?! I’ve already bought this much?! O__O *faints*
Allow me to narrate a little of my Kin-iro no Corda story first, before I proceed to the Summer Special episode.
Mio Colore
Aside from the fact that Corda is the first anime I “blogged”—with “quotes” because I used to post the summaries in animesuki forum, before it spawned into my own blog—I believe it is what drove me into joining the blogosphere, with the initial intent of spreading my Corda fangurlism (hence the name “Mio Colore” for my first ever anime blog, inspired from the title of the Kin-iro no Corda Character Illustrations book) but later on evolved into something else. Apparently, it also brought me back to the anime track, since I was getting contented with my regular dose of manga (and otome games) a few years back.
What made the anime even more memorable is how I got dengue fever in the middle of the series (what a way to celebrate the new year~!), which somehow inspired(?) me to spread the Corda <3, and the blog was born several weeks after. It took a few more months before I got into AB, thanks to Seleria <3, so my posts have then been transferred to this site. My last Corda post was way back May… wow, it’s been that long o__O
So, without further ado, the La Corda d’Oro Summer Special~!
La Corda d’ Oro ~primo passo~ Summer Special “One Summer of Encore”
The Seiyo Academy concours opened Hino to the world of music and its beauty. Inspired by her love for music, Hino continues her violin studies, pressing on with her own strength.
Kanazawa-sensei gathers the participants of the concours for another music camp despite the end of the competition, giving them the task of finding the unique melody. Nami, Mio and Nao tease Hino that this is a chance for a summer violin romance fling, and it goes without saying that it will indeed turn out this way :3
The camp is scheduled for three days and two nights, giving the participants enough time for sightseeing.Or allow Hino to spend time with each of the guys, rather 
Date #1 Hihara
Hino heads out by herself, clueless on where to go first, until Hihara invites her to the park on the hill with a view of the wind, where they once again play the duet of Gavotte, as the wind dances with their music. Hihara continues to be fascinated by how playing with Hino makes this experience all the more enjoyable, and gets into mushy-mode as he tells her “…It’s most likely because I’m with you” * ^-^ * On a side note, Hihara’s shirt had “Corda” in it :3
Date #2 Ousaki
Hino ends up wandering by the roadside, after a failed solo souvenir-buying attempt, where Ousaki-sempai finds her. She takes this opportunity to thank him for all the support he gave throughout the concours, especially for cheering her up when she was down. Ousaki however, feels even more thankful to Hino and her music, which certainly shows in his violin love confession: “I really like your violin.” orz. They talk about the violin romance rumor, started most likely during the time of Ousaki’s concours—a rumor that had yet to come true, but that which Ousaki has so desired himself. Ousaki also mentions about doing part-time job in a seaside clubhouse, which is really surprising.
Date #3 Yunoki
Yunoki welcomes Hino upon her return to the lodge, inviting her to the garden, where he shows the「月下美人」(gekka bijin), a flower which only blooms on one summer night each year—a little thank-you gift in return for making him enjoy the concours. “I’m going to play this one song especially for you”, says Yunoki, as he dedicates her a song, reminiscing how she allowed him to stand up for his own decisions, with which he can finally enjoy his life to the fullest. The flowers bloom in tune with his flute, leaving Hino speechless and mesmerized by the performance, which Yunoki finds really cute.
”Date” #4 Kanazawa-sensei
Unable to sleep—probably because of Yunoki—Hino heads to the kitchen where she finds Kanazawa-sensei cooking up his midnight snack. Hino was amazed at how a great cook he is, but Kana-yan simply returns the praise with modesty, finding this skill something but natural for a single man like him. He changes the topic to Hino’s love life, which he finds rather lonely, seeing how she’s not particularly interested in anyone because there are just too many guys. If he only knew.
Then we see the gang have some fun under the summer sun~ w00t!
Date #5 Shimizu
Hino comes across Shimizu-kun, who dedicates to her an in-church cello performance, in return for making him discover his own music, the music of his heart. Amazed by the influence Hino had in his music, Shimizu thinks, “What a wonderful sound I weave whenever I think of Kaho-sempai…” Hino finds solace in the warmth of Shimizu’s cello, who seemed one with the angels, right at that moment.
Date #6 Tsukimori
Hino heads next to the aquarium, to buy the rest of the souvenirs for her friends, right about the same time as Tsukimori, who was asked a favor by a friend of his father’s: to play for the dolphin and relieve its stress. Tsukimori had qualms about his ability to accomplish this, but Hino’s words dispelled his doubts. Reflecting on Hino’s music as he plays, a gentle smile is painted on Tsukimori’s face, as he envisions how a poignant melody like hers will be able to pierce through the dolphin’s heart. Moved by Tsukimori’s violin, the dolphin regains its vigor, exhibited in the high leap it made. Hino was delighted at this turnout, a success which Tsukimori owes to no one else but Hino. Reminiscing what Hino has brought to his life, Tsukimori is filled with gratefulness. “Hino, your melody opened up the door to a new world for me” (*^ ^*)
Date #7 Tsuchiura
Tsuchiura finds Hino by herself at the front garden, taking this opportunity to have her accompany him someplace. They first have a little chat about the assignment Kana-yan gave, which Hino is still unable to figure out, before arriving at the piano hall. Tsuchiura tells her a little history about the place, how famous pianists like Hamai Misa performed here, then dedicates a song for her. Thoughts of Hino filled Tsuchiura as he played the piano: “Hino, you opened up the door to the music kept sealed in my heart, that’s why I’m dedicating this song especially for you. To enrich your music…”, as a romantic mood fills the place, made even more enchanting by the unfolding of the planeterium.
Hino’s Love Greeting
The gang have a barbeque picnic for the last night of their camp. Hino, especially, found this a worthwhile activity, since it allowed her to see the guys in a different kind performance. Nami makes a surprise visit and joins them for dinner, teasing Hino about her summer romance fling. As for the answer Kaho had for their assignment, it’s an insightful thought which came to her after all that has happened in this camp: that the uniqueness of a melody lies in the moment in which it was played or heard, encompassing a set of factors affecting its interpretation, the place where it happens, as well the feelings involved at that moment. Kana-yan interprets what Kaho meant as 「一期一会」(ichigo ichie), a famous saying which translates to: one meeting one opportunity or treasure every moment for it will never recur, whichever is your preference. In Hino’s case it’d be “One moment, one melody” or something 
The guys request Hino to play for them (in return for the performance they dedicated to her throughout their stay :p), and the episode ends with the tune of her “Salut d’ Amour” (Love Greeting) :3
Thoughts
Corda still hasn’t lost its power to move me and of course, mesmerize me with its bishies *___* It was great to see the guys back in its animated glory, after months! I thought I was gonna be disappointed with the special right after I saw it wasn’t the ending I was anticipating: the multiple-ending special route HaruToki took. As it turned out, looks like this one-shot summer special was much better after all. We have the game for the multiple endings anyways
Similar to my sentiments in the Corda series, I was hoping there will be more violin romance vibes, as I love the Len x Kaho pairing. They’re like the canon pair of the series, with the most dramatic scenes and character development involved, especially that of Tsukimori. A duet violin performance would’ve worked wonders for that dolphin scene, like the balcony scene of the anime. In any case, seeing Tsukimori’s gentle smile and blush somewhat made up for that. Cute! *^-^* But then it seems that the love is *gasp* one sided, since Hino didn’t blush a bit with Tsukimori o__O
Compared with the cute little scene with Tsukimori however, I found Tsuchiura’s much more romantic, with the splendid performance of “Romance”(?) and planetarium setting, and of course the mushy words…*sigh* /me faints
There goes my top two Corda guys, the bitter rivals in music and love, the two Tsu’s, both of whom Hino didn’t show a blush to in this episode. The rivalry wasn’t focused on as well; it was just filled with lots of love, with no tension between the guys. I think that’s both a good thing and a bad thing. But you can only do so much in one episode special.
Hihara’s scene was really sweet, filled with his usual genkiness, and a touch of mushiness. Yunoki’s was smutty and smexy, as expected, whilst Shimizu’s was beautifully… radiant. In the end, Hino returns all the guy’s performance and feelings with the “Greeting of Love”, without giving us a definite ending. I remain hopeful that the manga will provide us with more violin romance~
Kin-iro no Corda is a great anime, not only because of the bishielicious factor, but because of the solid development of the characters and relationships in the show. Despite the lack of definite ending, the show was able to impart what it so desired from the beginning: making people, both with or without musical abilities, appreciate and love music from the bottom of their heart. If you can stand the glaring shoujo-ness of the show, due to the amount of bishies, as well as its mushiness, I’d recommend you to watch this. This might be a really late (and random) review, since I didn’t indicate my rating for this show in my earlier review of the series.
Scrumptious Meter: 4.5 (-0.5 due to the lack of more violin romance icing; deduct more points depending on your tolerance to shoujo-ey stuff, especially bishies)
P.S. By the time of this writing, SMS (Strawberry Mint Subs) has already finished subbing the entire series, together with the Summer Special I featured in this post. So whoever wants to watch this can now do so in its fansubbed splendor~ (but please don’t ask me where and how to download the episodes, and use your resourcefulness instead.)
And so you’ve finally reached the end of this post~! Here’s a little reward for your effort, either for reading the entirety of this post, or for simply scrolling down the page to look at the pics :p
Two wonderful, and supposedly shiny, postcards included in the DVD:
filed under:
I squealed when I saw the SMS release of this special. I agree, the violin romance ending would have sealed this as one of my favorite series. Lacking that, it’s still a great series….but not one that compels me to re-watch it over and over again due to unsatisfactory romantic ending. All of the romance buildup goes…nowhere….sigh. I hope the manga ends differently :).
Despite the lack of romance ending, I am still enticed to watch this over and over again… I’m so weak x__x Playing the game made me such a fickle girl… and got to love the other guys as well… >.>””
But definitely, with a violin romance ending… I would’ve loved this show even more!
/me prays that the manga will end with Tsukimori x Hino~!
there is a summer special? where have i been all this time?!:p i guess since the subs are little slow, i abandoned this series for a while but it doesn’t mean i don’t like it. i love the music and well… the guys of course^_^
i agree with u usagijen, i would have loved if there was that violin romance ending. i also felt that len and kaho’s moments together had more depth than the others’ did which is why i was rooting for them. btw, since u played the game, what was len and kaho’s ending like?
this is off topic, but i noticed @usagijen that you mentioned you had dengue fever, are you from the phils? or anywhere in asia? coz it’s a tropical disease.^_^
@beingmeyuki: SMS picked up their pace these past few months, and now they’re done!
as for len x kaho’s game ending… I only got the not-so-perfect ending, otherwise Len would’ve come up the stairs when I played the Salut d’Amour song on the rooftop… give me a little confession, and dedicated his violin or something X3 I got Tsuchiura’s best ending, so I could picture that scene somehow. *swoons*
the scenes with Len leading to the end however was really sweet… especially when he starts smiling at you. tsundeRen x3
OT: yes, I am from the phils!
you are too? :3
@usagijen: i guess i should pick up where i left off last and DL all the eps that i lacked^_^ what was tsuchiura’s best ending like? though i’m still all for lenXkaho. i just hope the manga sticks to the violin romance *sigh*
OT: yup i’m from the phils too!XD i’m sure you felt the storm last mon too. i had no internet connection for 2 days and yesterday was blackout. T_T
If I were surrounded by a bunch of bishies with such interesting personalities, I’d be confused which one to pick!
Thanks for this post! If not, I wouldn’t have known of this special. =)
Tsuchiura looks so good in that postcard, love his outfit! I totally love Tsukimori, although I’m more of a HiharaxHino fan (they’re just too cute together!) ^_^
@beingmeyuki: the best endings for all the guys involve them going up the rooftop in response to your Salut D’Amour song (the song Lili gave at the start of the game, which Hino is not able to play until the ending, to “call out” to the guy you love =P)
I can’t quite remember Tsuchiura’s exact words as he played the piano for Hino… I’m thinking it’s the same as what he said in the episode special, about how she opened up his heart to music again. I’m a Len x Kaho shipper as well, so I’m hoping the manga will give us that ending =D
OT: The storm has gone, but another one has come =___=
@hazy: hahaha… why of course… bishies @___@
Hihara is indeed… soooo cuteeeee~ but I’m biased towards Len x Kaho because of the depth I see in their relationship :3
My GOD!!!!! How I never get bored watching my beloved Corda anime?!!! My love never dies for Tsukimori and Tsuchiura!! Ha3x…Usagijen, thnx 4 writing this 2 us; I’ve ordered my copy of this special episode as well and already curious about it! While waiting, thnx 2 U, I’ve seen the preview by reading this page!! U know, seeing this special Corda being made, there’s enuf enthusiasm in me to believe that there’ll be more of special ovas in the coming future, huh?! Especially this pairing romance haven’t reached the goal yet!!;p ha3x…I’m so certain that Kahoko will end up with Tsuchiura, ‘coz she always blushes whenever he shows up, especially when he’s already showing his stuff w/ his piano!;p Damn, why can’t they go on staedy already and make us all happy huh?!;p ha3x..Anyways, Long live La Corda anime!!! I’m sure this is not the end!!! C U!!!!
Ups..misspelled mistake! I meant, steady! Duh:P..ha3x..Eitherway, I’m always rooting for those two bishies; as long as Kahoko will pair up with Tsukimori or Tsuchiura!?;> At 1st, it’s like there’s no doubt about it that Len gets da girl, due to that in depth bonding; but as the series goes towards the end, Tsuchiura also has that in depth feelings towards Kahoko, and it really shows all throughout the series; especially when in da middle of the series, when she’s still down after the magic violin broke and she wanna dropped out from the concours; remember what Tsuchiura said to her in the park?” It’s b/c u’re here as one o/ the concours participants, I get to stay as well”..or s’thing like that:>..Aaah..also, since the beginning, after the jacket incident, he always being possesive when it comes to Kahoko’s matters, as if he’s already treating her as his gf! ha3x…Kimochi ii da yo ne?!!!!;p Well, I’m really hoping for this pair 2 really get to their senses and hook up, if there’ll be another ova or better yet the 2nd season!?;p Arrrrghgh..I’d probably faint if that really happens!! ha3x…jya ne!!!
@Serenity: I’m also hoping for more Corda anime goodness +__+ OVA~!!!
if it was just me, I’d say Tsuchiura is like THE BF material. But Len is just too tsundere-cute >.> and I love the bond between Len and Kaho <33
@ Serenity: Me three! More La Corda = anime bishie bliss! ^_^
@ usagijen: I agree with Tsuchiura being THE BF material. He’s almost a perfect gentleman! Everything he does and says seems to be right on the mark.
Len is… *sigh* *melts* Well, I can’t help but just be hopelessly drawn to his tsundere and mysterious aura… I love Mr. Darcy, Dr. House, Hei from DtB… can you spot the trend?
@hazy: tsundere guys are <33 especially when they start opening up, and become dere dere :3
LOL! @usagijen and @hazy, i agree with u on the tsunadere guys^_^ that’s y i like lenxkahoko because she’s the only one who managed to bring out his gentle side:)
Urgh! Iwas fangirlishing creaming for this!!! Hwaa! At the end of La Corda d’Oro ~~Primo Passo~~ the boys played Salut d’amour and now Kahoko. Urgh!! It’s so sweet ^_^ XD!!!!
@beingmeyuki: /me high fives
that’s what I like most about the Len x Kaho pairing
@lenxkaho: I was giggling as I was watching this too, and it never fails to make me go fangurl over it no matter how many times I watch it
*swooonss*
Can you post larger versions of those last two pics here?
I actually really like the open ending.
It leaves room for speculation.
Personally… I like Hihara best for Kaho, and then Ryou, and then Len. But its up to the mangaka.
They most likely keep it open ended for the sole purpose of not upsetting readers. XD;
i love love love this and the end left so many unanswered questions…
so…help!!
la corda d’oro needs a second season!!
sign for a petition here:
http://www.gopetition.com/online/15140.html
thanks!
(i mean..she dint even chose one of the guys…and no confessions for the violin romance!!!)
@Autumnaki: I think there are many Hino x Len supporters though (one of which is me lol), so I don’t think fans would mind a violin romance ending
@imafan: as much as I want to see a second season, I don’t think it’s really possible atm. They don’t have much material to make a second season, considering that they’ll have to show what happens after the final concours in the next series (if they plan on releasing it). OAVs or specials are more feasible at the moment.
This decision will depend much on the manga, which is still ongoing.
Wow, I love this blog, and thank you so much for reviewing this anime, I watched it after seeing it here.
My favorite guys are Hihara and Ryotarou, though I am sure they are making the show favor a Tsukimori relationship.
Btw, do you have larger version of those group pics that you added at the end? I want to use them on my computer. (preferably post them here or post a link here.) Pleaseeeeee???
@Lambo’s Girl: I’ll go upload those pics later, as they’re in my comp at home
@usagijen Wow REALLY?? Awesome! I love those awesome images!
As for a second season, I think its possible, but yeah not for awhile, but if they do perhaps they will add that new guy I saw from the newer la corda game??
@Lambo’s Girl: oh, I forgot to edit the post for the links to the images
you can just go click that image for the larger size ^^
It’s quite blurred though, because of the glossy paper quality >_<
I have to admit i prefer this series without a lovey ending. Not every series needs that sort of conclusion.
Corda was more about the music than the relationships, namely Kaho learning she loves music, and the influence she has on those around her with that music. It could of been so easy to put in a love love ending, but im glad they didnt.
As for a second season, i agree with Usagi, while it would be awesome, there’s just not enough material for it. They ‘could’ make it up as they go, but chances are they’d ruin it.
Sometimes it makes more sense to stop at a first season, rather than push on for a second one that could ruin the entire thing.
Once there’s more material, then they can look at making another series. It wouldn’t be the first show to go years between sequals. Longest i know of was 8 years.
ahh I want Hino x Len ending
la corda needs a second season!!
I just finished this anime like 3 days ago. I kept downloading and downloading the episodes nonestop cause i wanted to see more Len x Kaho moments! X3
But the one that seriously was the best moment of them together was when Len was sick and well…yeah XDD *spazzes*
I’m currently reading the manga now and hoping to find more Len x Kaho goodies ^-^
This anime needs a second season…seriously…like Ouran….AH! DX
ack! I can’t believe I neglected to reply to other comments x__X
@Tomochii-Chan: you should check out volume 8 of the manga, that one has a major Len x Kaho moments
I’m still hoping for more “signs” pointing to a Len x Kaho ending in the manga~
i need La Corda d’ Oro ~primo passo~ Summer Special “One Summer of Encore video can you send it for me
ok… i know this post has been a while now… er… more like months back
but meh~ hehe! you already know im a tsukixhino shipper jen-chan, but my second choice is yunokixhino… :3 i know hes a pain in the ass sometimes, but i’m so into bad-assed bishies… *blush* 
and that top pic, i have that and made an icon months ago… of tsuki and tsuchi… it says “BL? o_O” hahaha! if its only the two of them, it really looks like BL ^^; but seeing as tsuki is the uke doesn’t sit well with me ^^;
nice………………….. ^_^
I like these anime very much
thank U
i love it..! they play instruments kasi..!
i really love a person who knows to play any instruments..and i love to play an instrumenta,,, that girl in blue hair play the clarinet and i play clarinet..! thats why im interested to watch a video of this anime..!
@sApphiRe: hisashiburi~~ I know what you mean about Yunoki… despite being a Len x Hino shipper, at the back of my naughty mind, I secretly wish that Yunoki will make his daring advances on Hino lool.
and… I’d rather not picture Tsuki and Tsuchi in the seme-uke relationship… it’s just not right x__x
Mmmmmm, I really have to finish La Corda, don’t I? I got stuck in the part wherein Hino got all emozzzz
But after reading this, I wanna watch again! 
BTW, Hino looks pretty in that last pic ;D And god! Tsuchiura’s made me smile~ Too sweet!
Haha!
i like this anime. i like hino and len.
i love LOVE. I LOVE LEN AND HINO..
i’m waiting for the 2nd season..
but i’m so sad and mad that tsukimori didn’t tell his feeling(propose) to hino in the end of the episodes..
I’ve posted my review for this anime special actually;p..just wanna ask s’thing else now..has anyone read the manga too? So far that’s been out in the bookstores, it’s up to vol.10 right? Assuming vol.11 will be out shortly, coz it should be right around the end o/ ths mo!? Anyway, I just wanna say that in the manga, at least Tsuchiura actually shows his emotions, n probably will make his “kokuhaku” in the following volumes!> ha3x…I can’t help but feel irrated watching the anime up to the summer special, there’s nothing “special” has been happening yet!!;p What ’bout Tsukimori, both in the manga and anime, he seems dull n cares nothing but only to his beloved violin!! Arrrrghghgh…I want it 2 be the pairing of Kaho & Len, though!;p ha3x…However, how come the cover of the manga or the special pages in LALA magazine always indicates that “there’s s’thing” b/w Kaho and Len after all!!? Did ya’ll notice it too? (for those who own the manga and Lala mags)
i really really loves tsukimori and hino!
owh i hate it!!!why tsukimori don’t tell his feelings to hino!!!
@Serenity: volume 10 is the latest one released, just a few days ago, so volume 11 won’t be out till a few more months ^^;;;
and yes, Lala is fond of having Len x Kaho for their covers hehe. I just hope it’s a good sign~!
@full moon: lol, he’s too shy
I do hope that he’ll get to confess in the manga! x__x
jeezz…i really love this anime..i’ve only discovered it last day and i finished watching all the episodes for a day…i wish that there will be a next season coz of many reasons..the appearance of kira akihiko and kaji aoi?! of course i want the violin romance ending ( go LEN x KAHO PAIR..but i wish all the boys would fall for her deeper
) and of course..i want an ending where kaho can play the violin amazingly w/o the help of magic… GO FOR A SEASON 2 
oopss…where can i read the manga online??
and by the way..i read about a petition for a 2nd season in youtube…i’m not sure if it’s gonna work.. by d way here’s the url:
http://www.gopetition.com/online/15140.html
i love this story because the mucis and where kahoko be strong and
she in love with them alllll…. 
this story/movie is very interesting.
i hope it has 2nd Season,cus i like it so much!!!
Kawai na.
i wish this la corda will show in television soon
shimizu love hino
@katzuki: it’s showing in Animax, like earlier today :3 I think it’s gonna air every Wednesday.
tsuchiura love hino / yunoki love hino / hihara love hino / tsukimori love hino.
Yeah!! It’s really a good news for anyone who gets animax on their cable tv!! However, I feel sorry for those who don’t have the pleasure 2 get the bilingual service on their cable as well, coz I watched the premiere too last nite, and boy!!!…the English dubbed version sounds terrrrible!!! Especially for the fairy and Kaho’s voice! She sounds soooo old!! LOL!!;P..Even Len’s voice isn’t worth comparing to the real Jap version!! Too bad!!! The only good thing is that for those who haven’t seen this beautiful anime, can really watch it for the whole full hour every wed night!! and the re-runs the next day in the afternoon..So, the bottom line is Corda really rules this month’s special on animax! Ha5x…I’m really praying for the making of season2 now!!! Considering the fact that most of the latest anime now have season2, really brings my high expectations up to the sky!!
I first watched La Corda D’oro on Animax last wednesday and boy.. it got me hooked. I finished watching the whole series in two days. I’m really impressed by this anime. Normally, I would look at shoujo stories with disdain but this one is an exception. The music and the animation is nice (I love how the characters are animated when they play their instruments) and the characters’ development is wonderful. I became so attached to all of them and for once I’m not annoyed with anyone. Another reason why I love this anime is because of how delicious Tsukimori Len is *__*. The only thing which disappoints me is the ending. I know it would be fair for the rest of the characters if the opening is left opened but.. Then what’s the deal with the violin romance story told by Mio in the first episode? That made me feel confident that Len’s gonna get the girl in the end.. D: (LenxKaho FTW)
I do think that there’s a possibility of a 2nd season being made. Most of us know that there’s a part 2 of the ps2 game with new characters in it. And this time there’s an orchestra instead of a concour. I bet there’s more space for character development and stories of the characters’ past (I’m particularly thinking about Kanazawa’s past)
well i watched la corda doro in animax but not 1st time cause i watched in you tube alreadi den da english version very bad all sound so unly =.=
My favourite is Tsukimori
Is there gonna be a second season?? I wish there is. I really like this anime, I’m happy that I’ved watched it! I like Len and Ryoutarou coz they play violin and piano which I also play.
I’m very happy!!! But I’ll be much happier if there’s a second season 
The ending is too short, and I don’t get it that much.
sigh……. ……… PLEASE!! TELL ME THERE’S GONNA BE A SECOND SEASON!!
I haven’t watched La Corda on Animax, but I think the inferior dubbing quality is to be expected ^^;;;
@Komomo: same here
@Rolyne: no plans for it yet, sadly =/
I love Ryotaro and Hino
They’re just so cute together…although i like Len too…=D
Love Len n Ryotaro, they are really really good… But my favourite is Len, he is really cool… ^0^ I already watched it on animax… It’s so good (i like it very much!!!)… Please tell me if there’s a second season (i’ll wait 4 it !!!)…

I want to play it!!!
I really like the anime and i feel butterflies in my stomach every time i watch the special!!!
