Nocturne in News: Nodame's Exposé

Nodame

Gyabo! Sorry I'm late! The power outage made all the traffic lights crazy!

Nodame

Where should I set up for the musical segment? Channel 8 usually puts me in the corner studio...

Nodame

(Everyone's so serious! Channel 8 and Channel 5 people look ready to fight each other!)

Nodame

Um... hello? Piano player needs space for piano things!

Nodame

At least the piano survived the power problems. Let me test the sound levels for tonight...

Nodame

(I'll play Beethoven tonight. Something dramatic to match all this tension!)

Nodame

(Everyone's arguing instead of working. Maybe I can use this computer to check my music files?)

Nodame

(What is this?! Video of the mayor accepting money from Axiom Corporation? And changing environmental test results?!)

Nodame

(Wait, Axiom is Channel 5's biggest sponsor! No wonder they're trying to keep this hidden!)

Nodame

(I should give this to Channel 8. But if Channel 5 people catch me...)

Nodame

Gyabo! You scared me! SD card? No, I haven't seen any SD card! Nodame is just here for piano!

Nodame

(He's looking at me so suspiciously! I'm a terrible liar!)

Nodame

(Are those security guards? And they have guns! This is bad, bad, bad!)

Nodame

(They're saying Channel 8 stole the footage and could face criminal charges! But Channel 5 is the one covering up the corruption!)

Nodame

(Oh no! Everyone's looking this way now!)

Nodame

(Wait... I have an idea. If I embed these video fragments into my background visuals for the piano segment...)

Nodame

Yes, I'm ready to perform. Nodame has prepared something special tonight!

Nodame

(Just like Chiaki taught me - tell a story with the music. This Beethoven piece is perfect for revealing corruption!)

Nodame

(They've noticed! Channel 5 director is waving his arms but it's too late - everyone can see it now!)

Nodame

(Keep playing! Don't stop until the whole story is told!)

Nodame

(Everyone's recording it on their phones! The truth is out!)

Nodame

Nodame just plays what feels right. And exposing corruption feels very right!

Nodame

Gyabo! Does this mean I get to play on both channels now? Nodame's musical news expose could be a regular segment!

Nodame

(Chiaki would be so proud! I used music to change the world!)
