A couple of days ago I got my hand on Nodame Cantabile's 2nd season - Paris-hen from my coursemate (のだめカンタビレ-巴里編）and again (like the 1st season) I was awestruck not just by all the classical music featured inside but the colour and setting as well, being in Paris and Europe and all. And to take the Europe/classical music feel further, the ending song for Paris-hen is done fully in french accompanied with violin. The song itself has a soft, light-hearted feel and definitely suits the overall Parisien mood in Nodame Cantabile-Paris-hen. So ladies and Gentlemen, there you have it, Tokyo et Paris, by Miyamoto Emiri (violinist) x Solita (Singer. Real French btw.) *Hmm, seems like getting foreign singer to anime song in language other than Japanese is getting more popular now?*
Anime ending version, as it is from Nodame Cantabile-Paris-hen

Tokyo et Paris
Paris et Tokyo
Et puis toujours la musique
À Paris nous étudierons
En bonne harmonie
On se connaît depuis l'enfance
On allait au cours de piano a côte
En face du grand marché
On jouait au square du quartier
À la marelle et au ballon prisonnier
Puis c'était le goûter
C'était bien la nos plus belles années
Qu'aucun souci ne pouvait altérer
Tokyo et Paris
Paris et Tokyo
Et puis toujours la musique
Tokyo et Paris
Paris et Tokyo
Et puis toujours la musique,
À Paris, nous étudierons
Ensemble
On s'est aimé depuis toujours
Plein d'appréhension avant nos auditions
À la tombée du jour
Concerts privés tous les étés
Dans la grande salle aux immenses baies vitrées
Un été enchanté
C'était bien la nos plus belles années
Qu'aucun souci ne pouvait altérer
Tokyo et Paris
Paris et Tokyo
Et puis toujours la musique
Tokyo et Paris
Paris et Tokyo
Et puis toujours la musique, musique, musique,
À Paris nous étudierons
En bonne harmonie.......

Tokyo and Paris,
Paris and Tokyo,
And there is always music;
In Paris we will study
In perfect harmony
We've known each other since childhood,
Walked to piano lessons side by side;
Facing the street market
we played in the neighborhood square,
Hopscotch and dodgeball,
But that was just child's play...
Those were truly our best years
That no worries could have changed,
Tokyo and Paris,
Paris and Tokyo,
And always there is music;
Tokyo and Paris,
Paris and Tokyo,
And always there is music;
In Paris, we will study
Together
We've always loved each other;
Full of apprehension before our auditions;
At dusk,
Private concerts every summer,
in the hall with the picture windows;
One enchanted summer;
Those were truly our best years
That no worries could have changed
Tokyo and Paris,
Paris and Tokyo,
And always there is music;
Tokyo and Paris,
Paris and Tokyo,
And always there is music,
music, music;
In paris we will study together
In perfect harmony.......

Epilogue:...nah, have not figured out what should I write for epilogue anyway. My brain is so dry right now and that I can't even come out with a proper, short blurb to put in the epilogue not to mention a real post...as for USM election coverage, wait until I see official announcement on notice board first or just head over to AspirasiUSM blog for more details...
