Playing the world's smallest violin in Nodame Cantabile


We don't mean that in a sarcastic fake-sadness way. We mean that in Nodame Cantabile: Dream Orchestra, you'll be playing a violin so small that it is insubstantial. We introduced you to Nodame Cantabile's novel gesture controls before, but now the unfortunate Namco Bandai staffer stuck in the mongoose suit is back to demonstrate the pantomime-based control scheme on video. It's like Air Guitar Hero.

Each instrument has its own page on the Cantabile website, with a diagram of its Wii approximation and a short video of the dapper mongoose demonstrating it. The embedded trailer contains even shorter demonstrations. While you're at the website, be sure to download the calendar wallpaper! We suggest doing so while it's still December, for obvious reasons.
