K-On! (short for Keiongaku, or "Light Music") is a yonkoma manga written and illustrated by Kakifly, which was serialized in the seinen magazine Manga Time Kirara from 2007 to 2012 and compiled into six volumes. The manga is licensed in English by Yen Press.When Sakuragaoka High School's Light Music Club is about to be disbanded with all of its members graduating, Ritsu Tainaka seizes her chance to become a club president without actually being elected and drags her shy friend Mio Akiyama along for the ride. They recruit two more students in order to meet the minimum member requirement: Tsumugi Kotobuki, a wealthy blonde who was looking for another club, and Yui Hirasawa, an airheaded girl whom they tempt with numerous sweet things until she agrees to join.With their new band formed, the four come to a sudden realization: none of them can play an instrument that well. The group sets off to improve their musical skills, with plenty of Slice of Life cuteness along the way.The series follows their progress as they get a club adviser (Sawako Yamanaka, an alumna of the Light Music Club), decide on a band name (Houkagonote after-school Tea Time), write their first original songs and finally perform on stage. Later, they recruit an additional guitarist: Azusa Nakano, a hard-working musician bewildered by the eccentric and relaxed attitudes of the other members.The manga was adapted into an anime by Kyoto Animation in the spring season of 2009. The show was directed by Naoko Yamada (making her directorial debut), with Reiko Yoshida serving as series composer, and Yukiko Horiguchi serving as character designer and chief animation director. The show proved to be a runaway success, with the opening and ending themes topping out at #1 and #2 in the Japanese music charts as well. The second season, K-On!! (note the two exclamation points), aired in the spring of 2010 for 26 more episodes. A film was announced after the second season ended; it was released on December 3, 2011.In 2010, Bandai Entertainment announced that they had licensed the first season in the US and Canada. In August of that year, they announced they would dub it with Bang Zoom! Entertainment. The first volume of the English dub was released on April 26, 2011. In early 2012, Sentai Filmworks licensed the second season, complete with the same dub cast. The first season is licensed to Manga Entertainment in the UK, and both seasons (as well as the movie) are distributed by Madman Entertainment in Australia and New Zealand. In 2012, Sentai Filmworks announced they acquired the movie and would also dub it. They did so, releasing it on May 21, 2013. They would later re-acquire the rights to Season 1 in 2014. The dub aired in Australia on ABC3 starting 19 June 2015.Kakifly has made two one-volume sequel manga series: K-On! College, which follows the four high school graduate members into their life at college, and K-On! High School, observing Azusa's efforts to keep the Light Music Club alive. These series have been released in English by Yen Press just like the original manga.K-On! Shuffle, a third spin-off manga with completely different characters, started serialization in July 2018.All characterization tropes are listed on the character sheet subpage.

Tag Team Twins: While not twins, Ui takes her older sister Yui's place in band practice when Yui catches a cold, attempting to fool the other band members. The others only realize something is wrong because Ui is much better at keeping the tempo than Yui is, and she uses the wrong nicknames. See Twin Switch below.

 K-On! (Manga) / int_151bc113
comment
Cover Identity Anomaly: Ui's attempt to disguise herself as her sister while her sister is sick at home is outed firstly by her superior guitar playing skill and also by her use of the wrong honorifics with the other bandmates, particularly Azusa when she doesn't use Yui's personal "Azu-nyan" nickname. The others don't fully realize that it's actually Ui, until Sawako says she could tell by just looking at Ui's chest.

Badass Adorable
 K-On! (Manga) / int_15da4941
comment
Badass Adorable: Mugi is one, especially given how strong she apparently is and the fact that she knocked Akira head over heels with a "light blow." Just to prove her strength, while keeping in mind that she has a keyboard which she regularly carries with her to and from school, take a look at this. Ui also qualifies, though her badassery is more modest. She single-handedly takes care of her older sister and manages to predict when the other members of the band are coming over, by always conveniently having enough food ready for everyone. She also manages to, after only playing on Gitah a few times every now and then, become a much tighter guitar player than Yui ever was, to the point where she's actually too good to pass as Yui while Yui is sick. Then, when she joins the Light Music Club in K-On! High School, she manages to perfectly play a part that would require her to have more fingers than she actually does, even after Sawako says the part is physically impossible to play.

Right Behind Me
 K-On! (Manga) / int_170128e9
comment
Right Behind Me: In season 1 episode 10, when Azusa is telling Ui what she thinks of her new friends in the light music club, she proceeds to call Ritsu irresponsible and sketchy... at which point Ritsu replies from the seat immediately behind Azusa. It's actually Ritsu who asks what Azusa thinks about Ritsu, as she had been listening in on the conversation. Ritsu's ability to imitate other people and intrude into their inner monologues is a running gag in both the manga and anime.

Do You Want to Haggle?
 K-On! (Manga) / int_17d44dcc
comment
Do You Want to Haggle?: Pre-series, Ritsu persuaded a guy to accept a lower price for her drum set. She explains this to Mugi, who then tries it on the music store clerk to help Yui. Through grit, energy, (and being the company owner's daughter) she worked the price from $2,500 (the actual price of a real Gibson Les Paul Standard Sunburst) to $500! Done again in the K-On! High School manga, when Azusa, Ui, Jun and Sumire go to look for a drum kit for the music room. By this time, the clerk is so used to giving HTT discounts that Ui just needs to let her hair down and ask politely, rather than actually haggle.

Never Trust a Trailer: The trailer for the episode "School Play" opens with Mio dramatically announcing her family is moving out of town because her father got a new job. In the episode proper, it's a transparently obvious lie she uses to try and get out of being the lead actress.

Imagine the Audience Naked: Well, imagine the audience is Ritsu but close enough. Back when Mio was in 4th grade and had to read her award-winning essay in front of the school, Ritsu tells her to imagine the audience was made up of pineapples (Ritsu's father originally gave her this advice, although Ritsu couldn't change her hairstyle to look like a potato so she used a pineapple instead).

Yui hugging Azusa to calm her down has a high resemblance to Kyou's glomp on Kotomi in CLANNAD (another show by the same studio), especially with the the "good girl" part◊. It also occurs in the manga, which might be mere coincidence, but Kyoto Animation sure picked up on it.

Breaking the Fourth Wall
 K-On! (Manga) / int_1e7487cd
comment
Breaking the Fourth Wall: A special issue of the Manga was released when K-ON was first announced to become an Anime. Among expected things (like Mio freaking out about being on TV), Yui actually straight out admitted she hadn't actually continued to sing when off panel, since no-one would notice as it's a comic. The pilot episode has a mild case: This happens a few times in episode 5. The characters talk out loud about how the teacher has "triggered flashback mode!" and how Sawako's art style changes. In episode 9, Ritsu is hit by Mio; the hit is covered by a crayon-drawn title card showing Ritsu at her drums. In the next shot, Ritsu is shown with a lump on her head and she is holding the title card. When Sawako in the manga complains about not being able to tell Mio and Azusa apart without her glasses, Mio makes a minor comment on how the artist could be blamed for that. In Season 2 Episode 9 Yui does this in an And Knowing Is Half the Battle moment when she looks directly into the "camera" and talks about how she has decided to better herself.

Stealth Pun
 K-On! (Manga) / int_1e7c47ab
comment
Stealth Pun: Yui wears a giant chicken suit when trying to gain new members for the club, and underclassmen flee before her in terror. While "chicken" in Japanese is niwatori, the word for molester is... chikan. Does that also count as a Bilingual Bonus Visual Pun? Another one: The last names of the band members spell THANK, as seen in the second season's second ed. In the scene where they all line up in the ED, their positions spell KNAHT from their last names, which is THANK if you read right to left, like a JDM audience. Before Azusa joined as the fifth member, some fans hoped there would be a fifth member whose name started with an E, as their first name initials (Ritsu, Yui, Tsugumi, Mio) would then spell out "RYTME", a Scandinavian word meaning "Rhythm". This was firmly shot down when Azusa joined.

Late for School: Yui, in the first episode. Ends up being subverted when it turns out she was actually an hour early. In the final episode of Season 1 (not counting the Extra Episodes), Yui finds out that Ui brought Gitah home while Yui was sick, so Yui has to go home to retrieve Gitah, even though Sawako offered that Yui could borrow Sawako's Flying V (Yui declines, saying she can't play any other guitar than Gitah), and ends up being late for Houkago Tea Time's first concert under that name.

The girls want to have an air conditioner for their clubroom, but they have to go through the student council to get it. Ritsu prepares herself to explain why they should be given one, expecting a lot of opposition, and is surprised when the student council's answer is "Yes, sure, you can have one." Heck, the only reason they have the problems they do with the student council is because Ritsu keeps forgetting to file the paperwork for them... and Nodoka ends up doing most of the paperwork for them anyway.

Real Place Background
 K-On! (Manga) / int_20152e12
comment
Real-Place Background: The anime's settings are based on actual locations in Kyoto. The school building is modeled after a renovated elementary school in Toyosato, Shiga Prefecture, which isn't that far from Kyoto either. The meticulously researched backgrounds for Hokagou Teatimes' trip to London is astoundingly accurate, and with a few negligible differences in scale, almost identical to the actual locations in London. California Doubling: However, the fact that they have to pass Mt. Fuji on the bullet train to get to Kyoto indicates that the setting is supposed to be in the Kant� region (or even T�hoku, judging by the weather map in one episode).

Spice Up the Subtitles: Yen Press' official English translations of the manga tend to include slightly more swearing than is true to the original Japanese dialogue, perhaps to truly earn their older teen rating.

Adaptation Expansion: Compare any anime plot to the manga segment it was based on. Definitely for the better, though, and produces lots of good music and extra gags. This is even more pronounced in the second season, which is twice as long as the first due to adding many more new scenes.

Generation Xerox: Houkago Tea Time mimics the closely-knit nature of its predecessor, Death Devil, which Sawako was a member of. In K-On! High School, in the final chapter, Sawako says that Azusa's new band, Wakaba Girls, is every bit as great a band as Houkago Tea Time. Azusa then goes on to announce their last song "Fuwa Fuea Time", and Sawako states that they are exactly the same as Houkago Tea Time.

Hollywood Tone-Deaf: In one flashback to Yui's childhood, her seiyuu sings an appropriately ear-grinding song about turtles (she was only a little child). Some people thought it was cute. In the band's first school festival performance, Yui has to sing the backing vocals to "Fuwa Fuwa Time" despite still being hoarse from Sawako's singing lessons. Yui's seiyuu performs her vocal parts for the song in a manner that sounds like a spectacularly off-key frog hijacked Yui's throat. Apparently Azusa is during the restart manga, as she's asked to front the new Light Music Club band and finds out her singing voice is quite scratchy.

Club Stub: The club in K-On starts out with NO members, since all the previous members graduated. Ritsu joins to be president of a club, so she drags in Mio, Mugi wanders by after a day, and Yui manages to show up at the end the first episode, fulfilling the membership quota to save the club. Although the club isn't truly saved until episode 5 (having to deal with Yui possibly being booted out due to sub-par performance on a test and lacking a club advisor until Sawako-sensei accepts the role). Azusa ends up in a similar situation in the restart manga, as she's only able to recruit her close friends Ui and Jun at first. The Occult Club appears to only have two members, somehow.

comment
Non-Indicative Name: Despite the show literally being named "light music", which to westerners conjures up snippets of soft rock like The Carpenters, many of Houkago Teatime's songs are quite hard. A good example is the extended version of "Fuwa Fuwa Time", which features a very heavy breakdown during the bridge that Yui raps over. At times their crunchy guitar tone and hard-hitting drumming even veers into punk rock territory. Likewise, during Sawako's school days they played Speed Metal, complete with GWAR-style costumes. The school's annual "marathon" is really only a 5K run.

Parental Abandonment: None of the girls seem to deal with their parents a lot, even though they are only 15 years old at the start of the series. While Yui specifically says her parents like to travel a lot, she seems to be the only one with actual abandonment going on. Mugi mentions spending time with her parents all the time, Mio and Azusa talk to their respective off-screen or off-panel mother a few times, and so on. Like Peanuts, most adults in K-On! are apparently He Who Must Not Be Seen. The Hirasawa couple are finally home! After three years.◊

Bland-Name Product
 K-On! (Manga) / int_2b5ea43c
comment
Bland-Name Product: While Mio uses a "Pony" cassette player and camera and the girls eat at "Max Burger" (complete with golden "M"), the musical instruments and equipment are shown as they are: Fender, Gibson, KORG, Yamaha, Marshall, Peavey, Roland and VOX. However, at the instrument shop, there's a "Peart" Drums adboard, as well as several bins of "Dunlup" guitar picks. The name "Max" has more to do with the Japanese burger chain Mos Burger. The exterior is typically McDonald's, while the interior design is derived from another Japanese chain: Freshness Burger. Played straight whenever the musical instruments are reproduced for merchandise such as figurines and the PSP game: the makers' logos are always removed. Mio and Azusa's tuners - Mio's is a Korg AW-2 (backlit), whereas Azusa's is a Korg AW-1, but mislabeled a Yamaha. Ironically, Korg has a license with Yamaha for actually selling a Yamaha AW-1 in Japan only, but the real one has the triple-tuning-fork logo on the clip, not written in block on the face. Many instruments played by minor characters actually feature correct logos, such as Christine's B.C. Rich (from Death Devil) or Sawako's Epiphone Flying V (in episode 12 of Season 1).

Tareme Eyes / Tsurime Eyes: The art style has everyone (yes, even Yui) toggling between these two types of eyes, but it's most noticeable with Sawako, showing how wild she's currently being. When Yui does an impression of Mio in the manga, she uses her fingers to physically push her eyes into the Tsurime shape for one panel.

Afterwards, it turns out that it was Ritsu who screwed up.

Evolving Credits

comment
Evolving Credits: Azusa is added to the opening after she joins the club. If you listen closely, you can also hear an extra guitar part added to the song. This is more noticeable with you listen to the first release of the "Cagayake! Girls" OP song and the "Cagayake! Girls (5-nin version)" released a bit later. There is also a "5-nin" version of "Don't Say 'Lazy'" (though the credits themselves were not updated to include Azusa). In the anime, this is most notable during the Pre-Chorus ("sukaato take ni senchi..."). After Azusa joins, one can hear some lead-playing going on behind the vocals, where there was none prior to Azusa joining.

Trailers Always Lie: The next episode previews intentionally feature snippets of dialogue that never convey what the episode is actually about. For instance, Season 2 Episode 18's preview made it look like Mio was serious about moving to Irkutsk, when it was just one of her increasingly lame excuses to get out of starring in the class play. To be fair, most of the time the titles are Exactly What It Says on the Tin, and most other episodes play it straight.

Meaningful Appearance: Hair decorations are pretty much a necessity since it's hard to tell Yui, Ui, and Ritsu apart from each other (aside from their bust size) without the accessories. Ui has, on more than one occasion, even disguised herself as Yui, by simply changing her hairstyle.

The costumes Sawako makes aren't quite as revealing as they are in the manga. One example is in the Christmas episode where Sawako makes Yui wear a Sexy Santa Dress; in the manga it's a midriff-baring two-piece that Yui is embarrassed about, but in the anime it's a more modest one-piece dress that Yui isn't ashamed to wear at all.

Team Power Walk: In each of the three endings, the girls do this, although a bit differently each time. In 'Don't Say Lazy', the four original members do it together in their (much loved, according to fan art) Goth-Lolita outfits. In 'Listen!!', the five members of Afterschool Tea Time after the addition of Azusa do this inside the cake. In 'No, Thank You!', the five girls are all present doing this amidst a field of H's and T's, although this is the only time they are not together as a group, and also the only time they are wearing school uniforms (although they've all changed by the time the chorus comes; also note that the school uniforms worn are not the uniforms of Sakuragaoka). It is possibly worth noting that in each of these cases, the girls are walking right to left.

Playing Against Type: An in-universe example, when Mio and Ritsu are forced to play Romeo and Juliet, respectively. Also out-of-universe, Satomi Sato had main roles before and after Ritsu whose character type she plays more often, as in subdued characters like Yuzuki Mikage or Manami Tamura. Likewise with her role as Shichijou Aria in Seitokai Yakuindomo, who is now a perverted Ojou. Speaking of Seitokai Yakuindomo, just try comparing Shino to Mio.

Absurdly Powerful Student Council: Subverted.

Two sketch gags in manga Volume 3 show Sawako asking Nodoka for a raise, and the Cosplaying Principal asking her for a bigger role in the series.

Bittersweet Ending: Natch. A few second season episodes have this, but the kicker is definitely Episode 24, and the second Extra Episode, which ends with Azusa practicing a rough version of "Fuwa Fuwa Time" with the future members of next year's light music club (which, given the voices, are Ui and Jun) for the recruitment concert. The seniors decide not to disturb them and run away, out into the yard in the sunset, where they give their old school one last goodbye. The movie ends with the girls playing "Tenshi Ni Fureta Yo!" for Azusa, before saying goodbye to their school.

Playing a Tree: Yui is cast as "Tree G" in the girls' class production of Romeo and Juliet. Oddly enough, Yui seems to get as much stage time as the lead players. When Mugi and one of the other students run off to borrow the Occult Club's Rosetta Stone replica, due to their own tombstone prop being missing, Yui takes over that student's role... as a bush. Which is labelled as "Tree H"... As lampshaded in the anime: "Why is it even necessary for the trees to show their faces?"

Painting the Medium: The exposition about the girls' music teacher/club sponsor is revealed to be Ritsu talking the whole time. Later, Mio has an Inner Monologue, which Ritsu adds narration to. Mio tells her to stop doing that. In the manga chapter where Ayame and Sachi flash back to their high school days when Akira used to be much more feminine, Ritsu repeatedly points up to the previous panel to ask "Who is this person you're talking about?" In the PSP game, Mio's notes are dominated by directional buttons instead of shape buttons, since she's a left-hander.

Yui pouts and claims that Ui would get mad and make a scary face if the latter brought more stuff home. Cue cutscene showing a "scary" Ui giving a thumbs up to Yui, after the latter had dropped other stuff she took home earlier and apologized profusely. Both Mio and Azusa wonder if Ui isn't the older, more responsible sister after all.

ClubPresident
 K-On! (Manga) / int_528b6fe5
comment
Club President: Subverted by Ritsu being no more or less important than any of the other girls. She is not particularly driven and often needs "positive reinforcement" from Mio, whom she is more interested in dressing up in a maid outfit. Mio, on the other hand, is the most organized member of the club but since Ritsu is president, it falls to her to do all the administrativa and that almost always gets blown off for one reason or another, leaving Mio to watch and express annoyance. The beginning of both the anime and manga versions have this post as one of Ritsu's goals for restarting the club. Since it's nearing dissolution she doesn't need to run for the post and can obtain it by default. Azusa imagines herself as the Light Music Club's president, as she will be the only one left after the upperclassmen graduate. It's understood that she will become the new president next year.

Carried over into one chapter of the restarted manga; at the start of said chapter, Yui opens her door, slamming it into the face of Akira, who was left with the rather unsavory task of waking her up. At the end of the chapter, Yui opens her door the next day and slams it into Akira and Ritsu's faces. "Some doors are more dangerous to stand in front of than others'" indeed.

Synchronous Episodes: The episode Field Trip! follows the third year class on their trip to Kyoto. The following Staying Behind! shows what the second year students were doing during the same time. A phone call between Yui and Azusa is shown from both point of views. The end of the The Movie takes place at the same time as episode 24, including one movie scene which picks up practically the same moment a scene from the episode ended, and the performance for Azusa being shown from new angles.

Gratuitous Japanese: The German dub leaves all the Japanese honorifics ("-chan", "-san", "sensei" and so on) untranslated and doesn't even bother to change the order of family name and first name to what is normal in German. For whatever reason, Azusa's nickname was translated in the German dub but not in the English dub.

Luminescent Blush: Yui's in response to Mio's cuteness is especially endearing. Sawako-sensei manages to blush through her mask during the flashback in which she confessed to a guy. Numerous characters manage to blush through the hair on the back of their heads when their face is not visible because they have turned away in embarrassment.

comment
Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: In season 2 episode 13 (15:05), Azusa complains that Yui still hasn't learned to read music, which is consistent with the manga. However, in a scene created for the anime in season 1 episode 10, Yui was reading a score while practicing guitar in the middle of the night. Resolved in episode 16 by the anime pointing out there are "degrees of fail" when reading sheet music. Yui can read the notes on the staff (the BD bonus materials have each girl's annotated version of the basic "Fuwa Fuwa" score) but has trouble with following the score as it reuses (jumps back) to an earlier section and the abbreviations left in Italian.

Adaptational Modesty
 K-On! (Manga) / int_580be152
comment
Adaptational Modesty: The anime is generally Tamer and Chaster than the manga, and this extends to what the characters wear as well: Mio's infamous Panty Shot from the manga gets replaced by a bowl of rice with the same striped design as the panties, and Azusa's reaction (a Nosebleed) to it is alluded to by a paper tissue dispenser box. The costumes Sawako makes aren't quite as revealing as they are in the manga. One example is in the Christmas episode where Sawako makes Yui wear a Sexy Santa Dress; in the manga it's a midriff-baring two-piece that Yui is embarrassed about, but in the anime it's a more modest one-piece dress that Yui isn't ashamed to wear at all.

Big Eater: The enormous amounts of sweets, cake and other desserts the girls eat every day during band practice don't seem to affect their waistlines at all. Especially Yui appears to have an extremely high metabolism. As of volume 5 chapter 14 reveals Mio gains weight of 2 kilos after entering university. When Mio tries to eat a smaller portion of her meal she then is peeved when Ritsu eats the food on her plate. Catch is what Mio eats goes to her boobs which is why she is wearing loose clothing to hide them.

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: When Azusa first joins up, the club seems extremely lax to her and uninterested in practicing. However, she knows first-hand that they can perform well together (as the whole reason she was even drawn to them was how impressed she was with their performance at the Freshman Welcoming Ceremony). Mio acknowledges that they do mess around a lot but ultimately they have a good feel for each other and that's how they're able to crank out solid performances in spite of their leisurely pace.

comment
Puni Plush: Very noticeable, in some scenes more than others. Listen to Yui exclaiming "Puni! Puni!" as she squeezes Mio's callused fingers. The art style as a whole is a lot more 'squishy' with less consistency of form than most anime and while it tends to make most movements look more fluid than they really are it also leads to noticeable distortion during in-between frames. This is most noticeable with characters' fingers which are also more extensively animated than in an average anime.

For musicians, primarily, in Episode 2x2, 1 minute and 30 seconds in, when the girls are looking in the storage, one of the quick shots shows a guitar amplifier in the left side of the shot. That amplifier is a 1979 Mesa Engineering Mark IIA, an amp that is no longer in production and would be quite valuable as a collector's object today.

Four-Temperament Ensemble: Sanguine: Yui, the ditzy Nice Girl who just wants to have fun and be happy together with her friends. Choleric: Ritsu, the brash Genki Girl and nominal leader who is a bit of a bully but has a kind heart deep down and wants to make her friends happy. Sociable, lazy and a bit rude, she's actually more sanguine than choleric, but compared to the others she counts as the choleric. Melancholic: Mio, The Reliable One. A kind, shy bassist and the voice of reason, but also extremely sensitive and introverted. Tends towards supine when she overcomes her shyness. Phlegmatic: Mugi, The Quiet One but also a laid-back and Nice Girl like Yui, who provides as much as she can for her friends. Supine: Azusa. May be younger than the others but is very well-balanced and the Only Sane Woman.

A smaller example (S2 16 16:13):

Serious Business: The strawberry on top of a slice of strawberry shortcake. Yui views taking the strawberry as taking the cake's crown or even its very soul, and when Tsumugi steals the strawberry from Mio's piece of cake it causes her to break down in tears. Rice cakes as well. In the case of Light Music itself, despite this being a series about playing in a band, this trope is subverted in that most of the time, the club doesn't really take its band practice all that seriously.

comment
Overlapping with Meaningful Echo and Ironic Echo, Yui and Azusa telling the band "It wasn't very good... but I want to hear more!" bookend the entire series.To elaborate, when Yui is first drafted by Ritsu and Mio in season 1, they play Tsubasa Wo Kudasai (A very famous Japanese folk song, often-covered by school bands) for her and she says it's not very good, but she'd like to hear more. So, she joins the club anyway. At the graduation Grand Finale, Azusa tells the four of them the same thing after they play Tenshi ni Furetayo! for her.

Fake Band: Only Houkago Tea Time ("Afterschool Tea Time", a.k.a. HTT) and Death Devil have released songs on CD. The voice actresses do their own singing, but music is performed by studio musicians except in the Radion CD. Other fake bands which have been mentioned in the show include Love Crysis, Kamakiri, Death Bang Bang Ji (punk), Black Frill (goth loli) and Namaha Ge.

Mischievous Body Language: When Ritsu Tainaka hears that the Light Music Club is to be disbanded, she grabs Mio's shoulder from behind and has a scheming look on her face while suggesting that if there are no holdover club members, she can easily take the role of Club President for herself.

Limp and Livid - Whenever Mio is about to go Krakatoa on Ritsu for screwing things up with her apathy/stupidity again. Also, whenever Sawa-chan-sensei's ladylike mask cracks and turns her into "Katherine." Most notable examples include when the girls huddled together in terror as she got a jack-in-the-box-in-the-face for her Christmas present, and when she CRACKS and shows just how "Death Devil is NOT CUTE" at her friend's wedding. Also, when Azusa tries to show some initiative by starting to practice, and Sawako snaps, because she just wanted to enjoy her tea in peace.

comment
Stealth Hi/Bye: Sawa-chan does this occasionally, either in the club room, or Yui's house. The girls, particularly Ritsu, are usually surprised at her sudden appearance. Even on their second training camp, Sawako shows up out of nowhere, without any explanation as to how she knew where the girls would be. Not even when the girls travel to London, can they avoid Sawako showing up out of nowhere.

comment
Does Not Know Her Own Strength: Most of the time, Mugi effortlessly carries her Korg Triton by herself, one of which weighs as much as a modern guided anti-tank missile with its launch tube and computer◊.note The Type 91 is a Japanese modification to the Stinger, notably the Type 91 is lighter (11kg vs 15kg), albeit shorter ranged than the Stinger. Possibly lampshaded during her outing with Ritsu. The latter brings the former to an arcade and tries out an arm wrestling game. Ritsu lost despite using both arms and putting her entire weight on it while Mugi effortlessly beats it literally single handedly. In the first festival episode (S1 Ep.06) Mugi is shown carrying numerous heavy things past Yui, who is struggling to carry only one (an amp). To be fair, even small guitar amplifiers can weigh over 10kg. It does become rather jarring when Mugi walks past Yui carrying Mio's speaker-cabinet, which should, considering the number and size of the speakers, weigh at least 40kg. And Mugi handles it as if it was made of papier-mâché. Brought up again as a kind of Continuity Nod in the restarted manga. Akira, a university freshman and member of the university's own light music club ends up making Mugi cry due to something she said. In an effort to make it up to her, she lets Mugi slap her, thinking that a pampered Ojou like Mugi would probably be pretty weak. Boy was she wrong; the slap quite literally sends Akira flying across the room. And Mugi was going for a "light strike".

Team Shot: The first opening concludes with a shot of the band members all posed together with their instruments for a couple of seconds after the music stops. Azusa was even added to the shot in midseason after she joined the club. Other team shots are used for many (though not all) of the various DVD covers for both the series and the movie. The picture at the top of this page is a V-Formation Team Shot.

comment
Artistic License – Animal Care: Ton-chan is a pig-nosed turtle, a species that is actually hard to keep in captivity, since it's rather aggressive and prone to stress and illnesses. It takes dedication and specialized knowledge to care for one, so one wonders whether the girls would be up to the task. It might be especially unwise to keep it in a place with lots of noise, like where a band is playing. Pig-nosed turtles also need to get out of the water ever so often, so it's not a good idea to keep them in an aquarium with nothing to climb on.

Your Door Was Open: Played for laughs. Occasionally, Sawako-sensei suddenly drops in unnoticed when it should be logically impossible for someone not to realize she came in, usually when she was neither invited or informed of the get-together beforehand. Ritsu is usually the one to make a note of this, saying "Wait, when did you get here?" or "You were sitting here the entire time?!"

Medium Awareness: In one strip, Sawako comments that without her glasses, Mio and Azusa look the same. "A Criticism of the Manga Artist?" is Mio’s response. Likewise a Bonus Comic celebrating the anime adaptation has the characters aware that they’re in a comic. Because an anime actually has sound, Yui realizes she couldn’t skip singing like she can in the comic. And to look better for broadcast tv, Sawako puts on makeup.

I Was Told There Would Be Cake: Frequently used as motivation. For example, when Yui falls asleep in the classroom [S2 E02], the girls try to wake her by saying "We've got cake for you." She looks up, doesn't see any cake, and goes right back to sleep.

Distressed Drink Jitters: In "School Festival", Mio is very nervous about having to sing lead when the band plays at the school festival. She tries to play it off cool, but when the girls meet up for tea, it's not just her hands that are trembling as she holds her cup and saucer, it's both arms. The others are not fooled one bit.

Art Shift
 K-On! (Manga) / int_912b24c4
comment
Art Shift: A distinctive Chiaroscuro lighting scheme is used whenever a character is being dramatic (or just pretending to be. Others include: When Mugi gets ideas. During the School Festival there is a Music Video within a show that has a noticeably different style. There's a quite creepy one in the manga◊. Proving that no matter how light and fluffy a given media is, these days it'll contain at least some Nightmare Fuel. The characters break the Fourth Wall to explain that Sawako's eyes have drastically changed shape, color, and design in episode 5. Then there's the DVD specials, which are drawn in a sketchy limited-animation style more reminiscent of Crayon Shin-chan. "K-On Shin-chan", perhaps? The anime closing/credits "music video" features the girls making mouth movements and facial expressions that deviate from the normal style of the show. Yui bursts into a slight Art Shift when she is called "Yui-Senpai" for the first time by Azusa. In Season 2, the first episode has much more detailed animation than the rest of the episodes.

"Well, I think Azunyan is Azunyan. Ricchan is Ricchan. Mio-chan is Mio-chan. Mugi-chan is Mugi-chan." "Afterschool Tea Time will always, always be... after school!" "Will I be an adult when I grow up?"

comment
Riddle for the Ages: The manga ends without revealing what subject Ritsu is majoring in at the university, saying only that Ayame is in the same department. The only major to be confirmed is Yui's, in education; it's safe to assume Mio is studying literature and we can guess Mugi is in business and/or music. Because of Ritsu's cooking skills, some fanfic authors assume she's studying to be a chef.

The band-naming session goes nowhere fast, but it does include Yui suggesting "Yui Hirasawa and Her Happy Friends" (Ritsu immediately comments on this: "Hey, are we supposed to be part of the background?"). Sawa-sensei is annoyed that the debate is delaying her tea-time and forces the band to adopt the name "Afterschool Tea Time".

Re-Release Soundtrack

comment
Re-Release Soundtrack: K-On!'s founding band performs an instrumental version of "Tsubasa wo Kudasai" in the Japanese version of the release in order to convince a prospect to join. On the US distribution, on both the US and the JP tracks, this is replaced with an instrumental version of "Aura Lea" (or "Love Me Tender," the Elvis Presley version of the song), which causes a minor continuity glitch as both language tracks refer to the "Tsubasa wo Kudasai" performance in later episodes.

This Is Reality: Inverted during a short joke in the Yen Press translation of the the college arc. While Yui is acting strangely for a chapter, Ritsu inspects Yui's head for lumps, thinking that she might have had a personality switch from getting hit somewhere. In the original, Mio simply notes the absurdity of Ritsu acknowledging that she's jokingly using a manga trope (Easy Amnesia) while in the midst of seriously looking for another manga trope (Cranial Eruption).

Brought up again as a kind of Continuity Nod in the restarted manga. Akira, a university freshman and member of the university's own light music club ends up making Mugi cry due to something she said. In an effort to make it up to her, she lets Mugi slap her, thinking that a pampered Ojou like Mugi would probably be pretty weak. Boy was she wrong; the slap quite literally sends Akira flying across the room. And Mugi was going for a "light strike".

comment
Blue with Shock: Happens occasionally, with most of the cast getting it at least once. Played comically in episode 18 season 2, when Azusa tries to encourage Mio about her role in the Romeo And Juliet play. And Ritsu in episode 22 season 2, when she misplaces her exam pass.

Retcon: When we first see Megumi in the first season, she's wearing a green ribbon, indicating that she's one year ahead of Nodoka. However, in the flashbacks from the second season, she has a red ribbon, which means she was two years ahead. (After her class graduated, the incoming first-year class, which included Azusa, was next to use red ribbons.)

comment
Holding in Laughter: During a bath scene, Ritsu ponders if she styled her hair differently, that if it would make her seem more mature. Yui partially submerges herself to hold back her laugh, but eventually laughs out loud at the thought of the "Bangs monster" changing her hair. Azusa tries not to laugh at Ritsu, turning her back on her. But her cheeks puff out and there's a squeaking noise, which only succeeds in irritating Ritsu to no end.

12-Episode Anime: The first season's main Story Arc spans twelve episodes. Episode 12 was labeled as the "finale," causing some people to think it would actually be the last one (It was, until the announcement of Season 2, which is why it was very finale-esque). There is an Episode 13 and 14, but they lie outside the story arc.

During Azusa's third year, she is hanging out with Ui and Jun, and Ui offers to apply a really powerful sunblock to Azusa. Azusa managed to go from pale to completely sunburnt while Ui is looking away for a few seconds, much to Ui's surprise.

A Good Name for a Rock Band
 K-On! (Manga) / int_b9561236
comment
A Good Name for a Rock Band: The band-naming session goes nowhere fast, but it does include Yui suggesting "Yui Hirasawa and Her Happy Friends" (Ritsu immediately comments on this: "Hey, are we supposed to be part of the background?"). Sawa-sensei is annoyed that the debate is delaying her tea-time and forces the band to adopt the name "Afterschool Tea Time". When Afterschool Tea Time meet Love Crysis (the band whose drummer went to junior high with Ritsu), Yui is envious of how much cooler their name is. Sawako's metal band, Death Devil, has a good name and an even better logo. Black Frill is an excellent name for a Gothic Lolita duo. One of Mio's rejected suggestions for a band name, Pure Pure, ended up getting recycled into a song, "Pure Pure Heart". On the other hand, one of Ritsu's rejected suggestions for a band name was OnNaGumi (Gang of Girls), and by a truly Contrived Coincidence, this turns out to be the name of Akira's band when they meet her in college. The other band in the college Light Music Club is called Guitar Allergy. Sawako seems to have established Wakaba Girls as the name of the band formed by Azusa, Ui, Jun, Sumire and Nao. Granted, it is revealed in the final chapter that Sawako only picked that name for the sake of being able to make a pun after the School Festival Concert.

Color Failure: Happens fairly frequently, especially Mio. And then there's the instance in episode 2 season 2, when all of the girls get told how much Sawako's guitar is worth.◊ And then again in episode 2 season 2, where all of the girls get it. To be fair, it was in the face of an angry Sawa-chan. Yui suffers one in front of Sawa-chan in episode 3 of Season 1 right after finishing her make-up test.

Shout-Out
 K-On! (Manga) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out Johannes Krauser II. from Detroit Metal City makes an appearance in one of Yui's delusions in Episode 1. "Jimi Hendrix?" "Jimmy Page?" "Jeff Beck?!" When Azusa plays guitar the first time images of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and Kurt Cobain (all wearing Azusa's pigtails) can be seen. When the music store clerk tells the history of Sawako's guitar, images of Eric Clapton, Angus Young, Tony Iommi and Pete Townshend are shown, along with a suspiciously similar versions of respective guitar riffs. The Music Video that plays during the school festival concert suggests an outlaw concert like The Beatles' rooftop concert, with a little Thelma & Louise thrown in as well. Speaking of the Fab Four, did anyone notice that Mio is a left-handed bass player? That sounds strangely familiar... Yui hugging Azusa to calm her down has a high resemblance to Kyou's glomp on Kotomi in CLANNAD (another show by the same studio), especially with the the "good girl" part◊. It also occurs in the manga, which might be mere coincidence, but Kyoto Animation sure picked up on it. Ritsu's attempt to make herself more noticeable onstage is called Operation Shine On You Crazy Ritchan. Azusa and her tora-mimi◊ are reminiscent of Kisa from Fruits Basket. A cheeky homage to the "I'm flying!!" scene (complete with Gratuitous English) from Titanic (1997). (S1 10 08:03) In episode 4, Mio is looking through a box of old club members stuff, and finds a score book of Ozzy Osbourne. In one episode, it shows a clip of Sawako playing guitar with her teeth - an obvious reference to Jimi Hendrix. Outright stated in the English dub when Ritsu exclaims "She's Hendrixing!" "ZA WHO." More specifically, Keith Moon, one of the reasons Ritsu took up drumming. When Ritsu mentions him in the club, Azusa asks if he's the guy who blew up his house with fireworks. Yui is seen imitating Pete Townshend's windmill strumming move from time to time. Sawako-sensei's white Flying V may be a shout out to The Legend of Black Heaven, where the a very similar guitar (the original Gibson version) is the signature instrument of another has-been ex-rocker, Oji "Gabriel" Tanaka. The nautical cap that Mugi wears in the second ending theme is just like the one invariably worn by '70s keyboard player Daryl 'The Captain' Dragon. Kamakiri, the band with the left-handed guitarist who catches Mio's attention during the outdoor music fest, might be a shout out to Donald Fagen. "Oscar!" (with screenshot◊) Less obvious, but in the third ending theme ("No, Thank You"), there's a shot where Mio puts her thumbs and index fingers together and in the gap between her hands, there's a shot of the sky. A similar hand-portal effect was used heavily in the video to "Shut Up and Let Me Go" by The Ting Tings. The little frog statue in front of the club room looks an awful lot like a similar statue◊ in Kamichu!. Nodoka and Yui do a Vulcan salute at each other in "Graduation Ceremony!". From the dub: "The power of cute compels you!" When Yui fills in for Sawako in Episode 10 of season 2, her Gitah is decorated with Spikes of Villainy on the headstock and target-shaped lines across its body, ala Kerry King and Zakk Wylde. In the Season 2 OVA where Nodoka and Azusa are discussing places to visit overseas, Nodoka brings up Machu Pichu. In the original, Azusa simply mispronounces it. In the dub, Azsua's first attempt to pronounce it is "My Pikachu?" In the movie, when the band finishes playing the heavy metal song in the beginning, Ritsu compares it to Iron Maiden. The scene transitions in "Planning Discussion" are accompanied by—of all things—the infamous Terminator 2: Judgment Day drumbeat. The name of Sawako's band, Death Devil, is a reference to the thrash metal band Death Angel.

Informed Disability: We are repeatedly told that Houkago Tea Time is "not very good" even as late as S2 E24. You'd never know it from listening to them though. Or from the number of fans they seem to have picked up from amongst their schoolmates for that matter. In S2 E24, she was talking about a specific song, which the girls may not have had enough time to rehearse. One of the most frequent criticisms of the band's playing is that Ritsu is a sloppy drummer with a tendency to rush, although Akira, Ayame, and Mio all reassure her that it doesn't hurt the songs because the rest of Houkago Tea Time are able to seamlessly shift their own pace to keep up with her. Ritsu's rushing becomes an informed disability in the anime that is mentioned but never heard; the drums always keep a steady pace during the band's performances. Consequently, the rest of the band's ability to adjust on the fly is never demonstrated either.

No Name Given: We never find out the real names of Death Devil's drummer and bassist (who don't get any lines); the liner notes of their CD single only give their stage names, Jane and Della. In-universe example with Okuda-san, at least for the first few months they've been together. The two girls in the Occult Club. Officially, they've only been listed as "Occult Club member A" and "Occult Club member B".

Series Continuity Error
 K-On! (Manga) / int_ca95473c
comment
Series Continuity Error: In the second season, Azusa is told about Megumi Sokabe, the former Student Council President. According to the flashback, she's two years older than the main four girls, and therefore graduated when they finished their first year. However, she made a quick cameo appearance in episode 11, where she talked to the Light Music Club, which at that point in time also included Azusa... Retcon: When we first see Megumi in the first season, she's wearing a green ribbon, indicating that she's one year ahead of Nodoka. However, in the flashbacks from the second season, she has a red ribbon, which means she was two years ahead. (After her class graduated, the incoming first-year class, which included Azusa, was next to use red ribbons.) In season 2 episode 13 (15:05), Azusa complains that Yui still hasn't learned to read music, which is consistent with the manga, but in a scene created for the anime in season 1 episode 10, Yui was reading a score while practicing guitar in the middle of the night. Though she might have been reading guitar tab. Actually, most guitar players who aren't trained in Classical or Jazz (that is, most guitarists who don't have extensive knowledge of music theory) don't know how to read sheet music even after years of playing. Reading Tab is generally considered to be a much simpler way to learn songs, since it shows what strings to play at what frets, and normally just uses classical notation to indicate the rhythm. With original songs, the arranger needs to be good with guitar to make a good tab. Most chords and notes can be produced multiple ways on the guitar (for example, you can produce the lowest A using the 5th fret of the lowest string or the open 2nd string), and choosing the optimal version requires the arranger to be able to put herself into the guitarist's shoes. Instead, what's likely happening (as implied by a later episode) is that the scores are getting more complicated versus the simplistic "lead / fake book" used in Fuwa Fuwa (one melody line + chords) to include more Italian / Latin abbreviations and cross-references to earlier phrases. Episode 14 of season 1 is supposed to take place before episode 12, but the backstage passes from episode 14 don't show up on the girls' gigbags until Season 2. Justified in that episode 14 was made only as a special episode after season 1 officially ended, and it would have raised more questions if the backstage passes just showed up out of nowhere.

Cloudcuckoolander: Yui is the quirkiest of the five girls, being prone to distractions and goofy behavior. Exemplified best by this exchange: Mugi also counts, as her wealthy upbringing leads her to become fascinated with even the most mundane things, such as working at a fast food restaurant. She also once suggested that the club offer a car, a plane, a boat or a mansion to anyone who's willing to sign up (to be fair, Ritsu did say that they could suggest offering an amazing prize for joining). The other girls also have shades of this at times. Examples include Azusa putting on cat-ears along with a maid-outfit because she thought the cat-ears were part of the outfit, and Sawako constantly thinking about everything not related to what the band actually needs at any given time.

Hard Work Hardly Works
 K-On! (Manga) / int_cc427069
comment
Hard Work Hardly Works: Subverted since while the band does slack off a lot, they also work hard. Mio is a Lead Bassist because Yui lost her voice in trying to learn to sing and play simultaneously. In that same episode, Mio had spent most of the morning practicing alone (and it stands to reason they had a good few practices in the couple days previous). Before that, Yui learned to play a good amount of chords by practicing instead of studying for her midterm exams. We also get Ui's perspective that Yui's constant and consistent "messing around with" her guitar has replaced her normal laziness by giving her something to focus on. Mugi had been playing piano since she was four, so it stands to reason that she practices on her own time. When Ritsu puts down her drumsticks for a while to try learning other instruments in S2 E3, she mentions during a moment of self-reflection that she normally practices her drums every day, and this was the first time she'd taken a break from it since she decided to be a drummer. And Azusa is probably the hardest worker of all; if anyone is pushing them to spend even more time practicing and less time drinking tea, it's usually her.

Nobody Loves the Bassist: Averted. Everybody loves Mio, both within the band and outside. Mio even is the only band member with her own fan club! The HTT songs also tend to have noteworthy bass lines, mixed way up front. Conversely, Mio herself attempted to enforce this by learning bass as a way to play music while simultaneously not having to be the central figure of a band (though circumstances push her out front as the band's secondary singer).

Lyrical Dissonance: In spite of Mio writing lyrics about stuffed toys, food and stationery (see Sickeningly Sweet), HTT plays moderately hard pop-rock songs, often with a retro-'60s style. "Pure Pure Heart" has fairly cheerful lyrics, but sounds like a sad ballad. The background for "U&I" is fairly sad, and the lyrics reflect this perfectly. However, it is performed as if it was a happy-go-lucky pop song.

Cue episode 19, where those two girls turn out to be in the Occult Club, and lend their Rosetta Stone for use as Juliet's gravestone. And then during the all-nighter after the play, the Light Music Club decides to bring some of Ui's food to thank them, and enter their clubroom... to see the Occult Club arranging a diorama of a cow being picked up by a UFO.

No Antagonist: The only real source of conflict in K-ON! is the possibility of the band getting broken up, whether it's because they don't fulfill the requirements to exist as a club, or in the second season, if the girls were to go to different universities. However, they always end up doing the right things to keep themselves together, and nothing bad ever happens in this show. The restarted university and high school manga show that the real conflict present throughout all of K-ON! is laziness vs. diligence. Laziness usually wins.

Animal Motifs: There are small sculptures of a tortoise and a hare attached to the stair railing that leads up to the light music club's music room. Season 2, episode 8 makes it quite clear that the tortoise symbolizes Yui's slow development. These are actual architectural features of Toyosato Elementary School in Shiga Prefecture, which the high school in the anime was based on.

Expy: Some fans have argued that Kakifly hasn't been very imaginative when creating new characters for the restarted manga: Sumire is Mugi+Mio, and Nao is Nodoka+Yui. The new University characters are existing characters with their most distinctive attribute removed: Akira is Azusa without being a Token Mini-Moe, Ayame is Ritsu without being a Tomboy, Sachi is Mio without being a Shrinking Violet, and Kana and Chiyo are Sawako and Norimi as grad students.

Weight Woe: Mio and Mugi always have issues about their weight gain at the end of the year. Ritsu shows shades of this in the first training camp episode. K-On! College hints that literally all the extra weight Mio puts on goes to her breasts. Even so, she still wants to lose weight. One of the other members of the College Light Music Club also complains that she's gained weight lately, though that's due to suddenly growing taller fast. She thinks that if she burns some calories, she will get shorter, only for Mio to inform her that that's not how it works.

Secretly Wealthy
 K-On! (Manga) / int_e9c022ea
comment
Secretly Wealthy: Invoked with Mugi; none of the other girls realize just how rich she is until she casually buys Yui a brand-new Gibson Les Paul Standard (which as of December 2014, lists for ¥313,000(about $3,000.00 US). During the first two training camps, Mugi borrows a mansion for the girls to stay at from her father. The first time, it's the smallest mansion, which is still bigger than Yui's Mio's and Ritsu's houses combined, and says she wanted to borrow another one, but this was the only one available. The next year, they stay at an even bigger mansion, and the others automatically assume that's the one Mugi couldn't get the first time, only to find out there's an even bigger mansion. When they go through the special training prior to the school festival in Season 2, Mugi casually states that she has been getting the tea they drink in the club room from the restaurant. In the Manga, the prices are listed as between 600 and 1100 Yen a cup, causing Ritsu to nearly choke on her tea. "You're saying we've been drinking this kind of expensive stuff all along?" And then, of course, there is the tea sets themselves, imported from Europe, from the Finnish Royal Family, and stated to be worth around 100,000 Yen.

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: Almost none of their time (be it Yui's class or Ui's class) is spent practicing as a band. There's been one concert during the entire run and it was off screen. Azusa even acknowledges and doesn't comprehend the fact that they don't practice when she first joins. She even attempts to start on her own only to be yelled at by Sawako for attempting to play! The rest of the episode is a clash between them attempting to do actual band things and just goofing off like they always have.

Technician Versus Performer: A veeeeery mild example between Azusa (technician) and Yui (performer). Azusa knows much more about guitars and playing technique, with years of experience, but Yui has a natural talent for most instruments and perfect pitch. Houkago Tea Time and Death Devil is another example. HTT generally plays simple, catchy songs and deliver amazing performances, while Death Devil plays more technical music (Speed Metal, according to Metal Archives) and focus more on tightness as a group than actually putting on an interesting show.

comment
In the second season, Yui has taken to calling Mio's bass "Elizabeth/Erizabesu" (which Mio inadvertently does as well, to the amusement of Mugi, Ritsu, and Yui) while Azusa subconsciously considered naming her Fender Mustang "Muttan." Elizabeth's name comes from the fact that it's a bass guitar (bass sounds like "beth"). This is emphasized the clearest in the dub, where they just have Mio call it "Elizabass". Muttan is from the sound of "Mustang" without the "g" sound (the "s" sound is rather faint when she pronounced it). Gitah's origin should be rather obvious.

Twin Switch: When Yui gets sick before the concert, Ui lets her hair down and goes in her place. She fools everyone for a while, but Sawako-sensei eventually sees through her disguise as she is better "endowed" than her OLDER sister. Curiously, nobody wonders why Yui would suddenly don the red inside shoes worn by first years. A similar event occurs again: Yui is shown packing things for her Kyoto trip and declaring that everything is all set... and then ties up her hair. Ui was packing for her sister, and then proceeds to wake up Yui, who is sacked in her bed. And in S2 E23, we see Ui ironing... but it's actually Yui. Yui uses Ui's picture for her summer school ID card. Milked for all it's worth in episode 21, where Yui is trying to decide which hairstyle to use for her yearbook picture. That includes having Ui model for her, and this being Yui, she forgets to take her hairpin back, and Ui ends up wearing it for the morning. Everyone comments how identical the sisters are once Ui lets her hair down. Bonus points when Azusa sees it, and Ui hugs her from behind saying Azu-nyan! in the cutest voice ever heard. Used once again in the second chapter of the new manga, when Ui tries to convince Azusa that she was really Yui come back to check up on the club. Azusa and Jun actually start to buy it until Ui is "outed" again by Sawako-sensei in the same way as the first time (i.e. Sawa-chan noting the difference in chest sizes). Also in the reboot manga, when the new Light Music Club goes to look at instruments, Ui poses as Yui, and asks the clerk if they can get a discount on a drum kit for the music room. The clerk, thinking it's really Yui, doesn't even bother trying to decline.

Product Placement

comment
Product Placement: The band uses real, licensed instruments from Gibson (Yui), Fender (Azusa, Mio, and their amps), Yamaha/Zildjian (Ritsu), and Korg (Tsumugi). Yui runs her guitar through a Marshall combo at first, then later, once the band gets its name, she and Azusa both use Marshall JCM900 stacks when playing live (they stick with small combos for practicing). During the first Training Camp, Yui uses a VOX amplifier. Mugi uses a Roland amp to amplify her keyboard for concerts too. Sawako also owns an Epiphone Flying-V and at one time had a Gibson SG (which is stated to be one of the very first SGs built in the 1960s, making it ridiculously valuable). Christine from Death Devil plays a B.C. Rich Warlock through a Marshall JCM900. In the movie, when they borrow a couple of amplifiers for the festival concert, they are provided with the same amplifiers they're used to: 2 Marshall JCM900s for guitars, a Fender Super Bassman for bass and a Roland Jazz Chorus for Keyboards. The girls flew from Tokyo to London with Japan Airlines, with JAL Boeing 777-300ER registration JA735J clearly shown.

Series Fauxnale: At the end of the first season, Yui reflects on how much she's grown from the person she was at the beginning of the show, and the band performs at the school festival, exclaiming "This is our Budokan!". A change from the manga, where Yui's cold results in the performance being quite bad, so as to make the last episode more satisfying. Then the second season gets announced, and the episode is pretty much handwaved.

Running Gag
 K-On! (Manga) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: In the manga, Yui's wish to be able to snap her fingers turn up at various times. The statue of the school founder keeps getting new accessories. (Azusa shows up with a tan) "Who are you?" Mugi carrying heavy objects without any strain. Not exactly a gag, as it isn't commented on much. She did beat that arm-wrestling machine in S2-EP14 literally single-handedly. Mio hitting Ritsu on the head, leaving a cartoonish lump. It's liable to be joined by a second, smaller lump on top of the first lump. Barnacles. Ui's resemblance to her sister is quickly becoming this. Ui being the more mature sister, to the point where she's practically a surrogate parent for Yui. The rest of the Light Music Club frequently asks Yui to share her sister. Nodoka saying "The Light Music Club seems like a perfect fit for you" to Yui. Someone is hiding behind the club room's door, secretly watching what happens on the other side, and falls down (or is hit by the door) when the door is opened. (Examples: S2 07 04:29; S2 16 08:08; S2 22 16:39) Carried over into one chapter of the restarted manga; at the start of said chapter, Yui opens her door, slamming it into the face of Akira, who was left with the rather unsavory task of waking her up. At the end of the chapter, Yui opens her door the next day and slams it into Akira and Ritsu's faces. "Some doors are more dangerous to stand in front of than others'" indeed. When the band is hanging out in either the club room or Yui's house, Sawako-sensei has a tendency to appear without anyone else noticing, usually with Ritsu shouting, "Wait, when did you get here!?" Sawako's fascination with making costumes for the band and trying to force Mio into said costumes, especially the more embarrassing ones.

Food and Body Comparison: At the end of the Light Music Club's first concert, Mio walks away, content that she managed to sing the song without succumbing to her shy nature, only to trip on a cable and flash everyone. While the manga shows her panties outright, the anime briefly moves down before it cuts to an image of a bowl of rice with a matching stripe pattern.

I Call It "Vera"
 K-On! (Manga) / int_faf5732b
comment
I Call It "Vera": Yui nicknames her guitar "Gitah". In the second season, Yui has taken to calling Mio's bass "Elizabeth/Erizabesu" (which Mio inadvertently does as well, to the amusement of Mugi, Ritsu, and Yui) while Azusa subconsciously considered naming her Fender Mustang "Muttan." Elizabeth's name comes from the fact that it's a bass guitar (bass sounds like "beth"). This is emphasized the clearest in the dub, where they just have Mio call it "Elizabass". Muttan is from the sound of "Mustang" without the "g" sound (the "s" sound is rather faint when she pronounced it). Gitah's origin should be rather obvious. In the new manga, Akira calls her black Les Paul "Rosalie".

Dragged by the Collar: Mio to Ritsu in episode 1 season 1, for being too aggressive in trying to recruit people Tiny-little Azunyan dragging Yui crying off to study in season 2 episode 9. Mio flies along behind Sawako like so much fluttery clothing when Sawako drags her out of the music room at mach speed to get changed. And Ritsu to Mio in episode 18 season 2, when the latter refuses to practice for their school play, Romeo and Juliet.

With Friends Like These.../Vitriolic Best Buds - One wonders why Mio still considers Ritsu her friend, with the teasing, humiliations and blackmailing and all... She gets back at Ritsu through violence. See Cranial Eruption above. During her brief stint as a waitress, Mio tries pretending all the customers are her friends to overcome her shyness. Problem is, even the imaginary Yui and Ritsu irritate her.

Brick Joke "Your bangs are really long..." At the end of the Christmas Episode from season 1, Mio and Mugi are distressed over how much weight they gained over the holiday. Then in season 2 episode 11, once Azusa mentions that sweating a lot is sure to result in weight loss... "The strawberry on top is the cake's heart! Its soul!" Ritsu putting her hand on Yui's shoulder in the class photo in s2 ep 3, for a payoff in ep 26, virtually an entire season later! In season 2 episode 4, Sawako buys a green match-making good-luck charm in Kyoto. Seven episodes later, Mugi notices a green charm hanging in Sawako's car...

Shown Their Work
 K-On! (Manga) / int_ffad4e9f

Shown Their Work: The instruments played by the girls are all existing models in the real world: Yui plays a Heritage Cherry Sunburst Gibson Les Paul Standard Classic; not bad at all for a first guitar. She apparently strings it with D'Addario XL Nickel Round Wounds. And those really don't rust. Judging from the packaging on the strings, both Yui and Azusa use D'Addario EXL120+ strings. This set has a string-gauge of 0.0095-0.042 inches, which would suit their sound perfectly (the only other set with the same logo-color on the packaging is the EXL140 set, with a string-gauge of 0.012-0.052 inches, which naturally sound heavier than the EXL120+). Mio provides the low frequencies on a left-handed 3-Color Sunburst Fender Jazz Bass (likely Japanese) in the anime, and a Fender Precision in the manga, both four-string. The bass she swoons over in the anime is a five-string left-handed Music Man Stingray. Good taste there! Mio's reaction to seeing right-handed instruments, and likewise to seeing left-handed instruments, while exaggerated, does reflect how many left-handed guitarists and bass players feel about many manufacturers mainly producing right-handed instruments, with a limited selection of left-handed models, if any. Mugi's keyboard is a Korg Triton Extreme (likely the 76-key version since she mentions it in her Image Song). Its built-in valve circuit features prominently in the opening credits. In "No thank You" the second ending of the second season, she plays a Hammond organ. Ritsu bangs around on what looks like a Yamaha Hipgig Rick Marotta drum kit with Zildjian cymbals. Azusa made a fine choice with her Cherry-red Fender Mustang, since its short scale is a nice fit for her small hands. Sawako plays an Alpine White Epiphone Flying V in the Season 1 finale, and also owns a 1964 Gibson SG Cherry, which the Club sells for for half a million Yen. The show even treats the viewers to a 1 minute long explanation as to '''why''' the guitar is worth half a million Yen. The amplifiers used also exist in the real world. When practicing and during the first concerts (until Azusa joins), Yui uses a Marshall MG-series combo, Mio uses a Fender Super Bassman and Mugi uses a Roland combo (probably Jazz Chorus). After Azusa joins, Yui and Azusa both use Marshall JCM 900 amplifiers for concerts. During HTT's final concert, Mio also changes to an Ampeg bass amp instead of the Fender Super Bassman. Some of the equipment that appears but never gets used also exists in the real world. For instance, the multi-amp simulator Mio fantasizes about buying in Season 2 episode 2 looks like a BOSS multi-effect unit, and in the same episode, one can see briefly see a 1979 Mesa Engineering Mark IIA tube-amplifier for guitars, which could easily fetch the band a good price if sold to the guitar store as a collector's object. The effects pedals used by some of the other bands in episode 14 also look very much like real pedals, with at least one BOSS-lookalike. Played straight and averted at the same time in the movie. When playing at the Japanese Culture Exhibition Festival, HTT doesn't have their own amps, so they have to borrow some, which is common enough for fly-in gigs like this one. The amps they get, however, are not. Usually, for fly-in gigs, guitarists can be sure to get Marshall JCM 800, Fender Deluxe Reverb, Fender Twin Reverb or VOX AC 30 amps if requested, since those are the most popular guitar amps out there. So those are typically the ones a promoter or rental company will be able to provide, especially with such short notice. Instead, Yui and Azusa both get a Marshall JCM 900, which is a dual-channel version of the JCM 800 with a built-in reverb tank (that isn't quite as good as most stand-alone units). Mio playing through an Ampeg stack does make sense though, since Ampeg makes some of the most popular bass amplifiers for their style of music. The other guitarist in Death Devil plays a BC Rich Warlock, a guitar that fits the band's look and sound perfectly. Episode 2 in season 1 shows right away how much research they did. When Yui asks if there are any criteria for choosing a guitar, Mio provides a lengthy list of recommended things she should be aware of, such as the weight, how the neck feels, how thick the neck is, the scale-length and so on. All of the point Mio makes are actually legitimate things to keep in mind when choosing a guitar or bass, and not just for beginners either.note (A brief rundown: the weight affects both the tone of the instrument - more weight equals richer tone, less weight equals thinner - and how comfortable the instrument is to wear - a seven-pound instrument is much different than a twelve or thirteen-pound one; the finish on the neck can affect how quickly the player is able to move their hands up and down the frets; the thickness of the neck is a factor in who can play the instrument, due to people having differently sized hands; and lastly the scale length figures greatly into the instrument's overall tone and the ease of bending the strings due to their tension - for decades all Gibsons had a 24.75 inch length, while Fenders had 25.5 inches - a shorter scale length makes the guitar sound warmer and the strings easier to bend - a longer scale length makes the strings a bit harder to bend, can be offset by using lighter-gauge strings, but makes the guitar sound brighter). Season 2 Episode 3 ("Drummer!") also deserves some recognition, for being one of very few anime episodes (if not the only) ever produced to realistically deal with the topic of musical burnout. Non-musicians might think it's a bit unrealistic how quickly Ritsu gets over it, but in reality, this is exactly how quickly people usually get over it! The interactions between Houkago Tea Time and various other bands (such as in the "Live House!" OVA and when Yui fills in for Sawako in Death Devil) also realistically reflect how many professional and even upcoming bands are towards each other. In "Live House!", it is clear to the other bands playing that Houkago Tea Time has no experience playing outside of the school, and have every opportunity to sabotage their performance. However, they decide to be supportive instead of hostile, for what can only be assumed to be due to two reasons: 1, it's a shared bill, so if one of the five bands playing puts on a bad performance, the audience might leave, resulting in everyone after that band getting less exposure, and 2, by being friendly instead of competitive, they all expand their musical network, which can come in handy at a later time (and it does for HTT in the movie). Death Devil calling in a replacement guitarist (just like HTT did in Season 1 Episode 12) to replace one of their band members is a common practice among bands, particularly if there won't be time for the event booker to find another band (or in this case, if the booker doesn't want to find another band). Even The Beatles did it when they temporarily replaced Ringo with a local drummer named Jimmie Nicol when Ringo fell ill before a tour in Australasia. Special mention should also go to the animation. Whenever an instrument is played on-screen, the pitch heard at any given time is the exact same pitch one would hear if they played a real Les Paul, Mustang or J-Bass and fretted the same notes as the girls. This means that it's actually possible to learn at least some of the riffs just by watching how the girls play the songs! It does become slightly jarring in Episode 2x3, when Azusa shows Ritsu a note sheet for "Fuwa Fuwa Time". The notation is actually perfectly spot-on. What makes it jarring is that the notation is for the vocal-part, not the guitar-parts. Several of the random items (such as the tea sets or Mio's headphones) are also recognizable (and very expensive) real world products. Mio's headphones are the AKG K 701, for example. It even goes so far as to include their clothes: the shoes Mio wears◊ during the "No, Thank You" ED (second season) are T.U.K. A6803 white leather Mondo-sole creepers. In a few places, a set of Tama Iron Cobra double bass drum pedals show up.
