The sequel to "Nodame Cantabile Paris-hen" will be back in the Noitamina slot in autumn 2009. This makes Nodame Cantabile the first anime to have 3 seasons in the Noitamina slot. The Paris-hen is currently on air so the sequel will be a continuation of where the current arc ends. With the impending launch of the sequel, Nodame will span over 40 episodes (23 episodes in the first season and 11 episodes in the Paris-hen).
The reason to produce the sequel lies in the high popularity of the series. The episode shown on 4 Dec registered a high rating of 6.6% which is the best in 10 years for animes shown in the midnight slot. In addition, sales of the original manga and the related classical music CDs have been very encouraging.
Coupled with the real-life movie versions due in 2010, the Nodame fever is set to continue for a long time.
