K-ON! (2011 Film)

K-ON! (2011 Film)


It's Saturday, December 3, 2011. As most of them know, it was the day the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show is opened to the public. However, there are some people prefer not to go to the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show at the Tokyo Big Sight because why? They are going to the cinemas to watch the highly anticipated theatrical movie version of the phenomenal 2009 TBS anime series that sparked a sensation worldwide, that is none other than K-ON!

That's right folks, Hokago Tea Time finally made it on the big screen after spending two seasons in TV and this is a dream come true to the fans who loved K-ON so much. In here, our favorite girls; Yui Hirasawa, Mio Akiyama, Ritsu Tainaka, Tsumugi Kotobuki, and Azusa Nakano, are going on a trip to London, United Kingdom as a graduation trip. Life in London is not all about living like The Beatles or walking through Abbey Road like The Beatles, especially if you were the girls of K-ON. This is how their friendship is tested and expect some dramas and some laughs at all times, oh and some funny expressions only Yui can pull off. Because they're in England, we're not calling it Hokago Tea Time, but we'll call it ENGLISH TEA TIME, a fitting catchphrase for the movie version of the blockbuster 2009 anime aired on TBS.

Definitely a must-see for every K-ON fan, this movie would be the biggest memorabilia for all not only because this is just film but it's because this is the most ambitious but rubbish masterpiece we're surely enjoy. We're glad to see the girls exploring around the streets of London, United Kingdom, from Piccadilly to Westminster. At the end, it will surely leave viewers shed so many tears not only because the girls are on their bigger and brighter things but these are the tears of joy they can felt after ditching their tickets to the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show in favor of watching the whole K-ON movie.

CAST:

Aki Toyosaki as Yui Hirasawa

Yoko Hikasa as Mio Akiyama

Satomi Sato as Ritsu Tainaka

Minako Kotobuki as Tsumugi Kotobuki

Ayana Taketatsu as Azusa Nakano

..and others...

OPENING THEME:

Unmei♪wa♪Endless! by Hokago Tea Time

CLOSING THEME:

Singing! by Hokago Tea Time

All 5 K-ON girls were made it on the BEST 30 female anime characters, Animedia said

On the 30th anniversary issue of Animedia, this magazine listed the top 30 anime characters separated by male and female. Looking at the top 30 female anime characters, 5 of the K-On girls made it on the top 30! It's like every magazine in Japan that has every K-ON character made it on the top spots.


*Photo taken by a certain blogger

Yui Hirasawa was in 1st place, Azusa Nakano lands 2nd, Ritsu Tainaka in 4th, Mio Akiyama in 5th, and Tsumugi Kotobuki in the 30th place! 

1, 2, 4, 5, 30! This makes it a perfect lotto combination except for one more.

If I am picking for a 6-number lotto combination, it would be a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 30 and why 3? December 3 of course. December 3, 2011 was the date the K-ON movie is slated to show in Japanese theaters, making it a perfect pre-Christmas treat.

K-On! Houkago Live!!

K-On! Houkago Live!!

Moments after the second season of K-on (日本名:けいおん!) ended in a not so major major way, there is a major major surprise for those who enjoyed the anime and listened to the songs from K-On. K-On Houkago Live is here and bringing the K-On fever to your PSP wherever you go.

The gameplay is much more similar to the Hatsune Miku Project Diva game, because you have to press consecutive buttons shown in the screen and be as accurate as you can while enjoying the song. K-On! Houkago Live!! features 19 songs such as the opening theme and closing theme of the first season, songs from the Hokago Tea Time album, or even songs from the Character Image Song series. Depending on the choice of five characters; Yui Hirasawa (CV: Aki Toyosaki), Mio Akiyama (CV: Yoko Hikasa), Ritsu Tainaka (CV: Satomi Sato), Tsumugi Kotobuki (CV: Minako Kotobuki), and Azusa Nakano (CV:Ayana Taketatsu), and depending on the difficulty setting, enjoying your favorite K-On song while accurately pressing buttons can be somewhat of a challenge. The better you play, the higher your rank and score is and you'll score some numerous items, some are useful, some are just for fun, or even something else.

Did you know, you can have up to 5 players via Ad-hoc to enjoy playing Houkago Time as a group and play cooperatively to gain a higher score.

There is also a surprise part, this game turns your PSP into a clock featuring one of your Hokago Tea Time girls; Yui, Mio, Ritsu, Tsumugi, and Azu-nyan, I mean, Azusa. At a random time, you will hear a dialog from your favorite character. Not much of a surprise but it's fine for the fans.

LIMITED EDITON:
A limited-edition item includes not just the game itself but also 5 UMD Cases, a PSP pouch, and a guitar-designed Cover to personalize the PSP just for you. There is another limited edition in a form of six PSP stickers to put it at the rear of the PSP to play Houkago Live in style. Hurry up because these are in a limited quantity basis. First come, first served!

A not so major major ending...

Recently, on September 14, 2010, with Japanese otakus flipping their HD TV remotes to Tokyo Broadcasting System, the second season of K-On! (K-On!!) ended in a not so major major way.

Screenshots from the final episode:

With the second season's twenty-four episodes of existence, I can say that there is nothing major major excitement shown on this season because this season seems to be OK for them, with the upcoming character CDs (Character CD 2nd series), and the full album coming this October.

And by saying major major, it seems most Filipinos are enjoying that word spoken by Maria Venus Raj, 4th runner-up in Ms. Universe.

THANK YOU! THANKS FOR K-ON!! SEE YOU SOON!

With the second season recently ended, you can still enjoy some goodies left such as K-On!! Character Image CD Series. With Yui and Mio coming this September 21, expect the Azu-nyan, Tsumugi, and Ritsu character CDs coming this November.

Two opening songs (Go! Go! Maniac and Utauyo Miracle) and two closing songs (Listen and No, Thank You!) are still on sale, although the limited editions (shown below) are running out fast.


As for that, how about some insert songs from the second season which includes Pure Pure Heart by Hokago Tea Time, Gohan Wa Okazu/U&I by Hokago Tea Time, and Love by Death Devil.

Combine two things we wish they'll be exist...

Saw recently at some Japanese blogs that there was a spotting at some "itasha exhibition" somewhere in Japan that was happened since May 9. A Japanese blogger saw some itasha that two things we wish to be exist.

CASE 1:
The K-On character (possibly non-existent) we wish to be exist in the second season of K-On (currently on air).

CASE 2:
The Mazda 3 (known in Japan as the Axela) we wish to be here in the Philippines.

When two things we wished to be existed collide, it turns into this!


Combining two things we wished to be existed resulted into a Mazda 3 hatchback Akane Miura-spec vehicle. It's amazing some owner of this car was lucky enough to create an itasha that stands out the crowd!

For this character, we are obvious that we want to see this one existed in K-On!!

For this car, we are jealous to wish that this car should be in the Philippines, if FGP-Mazda has the chance.
