They speak the need of taking their axe, er, guitar to maintenance every once in a while. In 17 years of owning bass guitars, and 22 years or owning trumpets, I have never taken my instruments in for a maintenance. With my latest trumpet, it might change, but who knows? And as for the Ibaneze I had the picture of earlier? The last time I changed its strings were in 1994 – 15 years ago. No rusts. (That’s a set of medium heavy Blue Steels.) I don’t see the neck warping either. As long as these things sit in normal climate, I really don’t see the need for such serious maintenance only a year after the purchase of the guitar. If anything, the guitar should be retuned on the spot when you buy it.
There is something that Yui did that everyone should also do – name your guitar! Even the Les Paul in Beck had a name – a pretty name, Lucille. (I know, they are in totally different context, but who cares?)

Hawk is crazy. But it’s Miguel Zale who amplified the ferocity by unleashing the monster to the ring. And Zale has absolutely no regrets of doing so. He’s enjoying every minute of it. Even Takamura looks like an angel compared to him. For now.

For 8 looooong episodes, Takizawa-kun has restrained is strong inner need to flash someone, anyone, but he can no longer hold it in. When Akira has the opportunity to illicit much-needed information about how to beat the newest hentai game and satisfy his urges, he abandons all pretense. Otaku need lovin’ too.

Takizawa tests the neuralizer option on his phone after some careful directions from Juiz regarding the proper direction of focus and a bit of trial and error. Juiz came up with this option while watching MIB in between Savior requests. An unfortunate side effect for Juiz however, is the tendency to have to explain the option multiple times when Selecao seem unable to point it in the correct direction.

In many, many series, the beach episode has become one of the iconic cliche topic. Now, they’re pulling off the second set of it in this 12-episode series. What gives? And… is it just me who wanted to see the girls play their music in their swim suits?

Oh yeah, we do get an onsen scene too.

Hawk’s got the crazy eye now. And Takamura lost his usual hair style from all the beatings. That’s about it for this episode. The rest is another full episode of punching action, which is why we’re all watching this show.

When I entered junior high school, I had no real previous school club experience. The club activity was an extra curricular activity that only those peoplo wanting to do it did it in the elementary school. (That was when Captain Tsubasa was gaining popularity in Japan, and lots of kids picked up soccer. I joined soccer club in 5th grade, but I only lasted less than two weeks. So I’m not counting that as having a school club experience.)
If you’ve followed all of my stories I’ve written for the past K-On! releases, you probably picked up the fact that I love performing music. But I didn’t know that part of me at the beginning of the 7th grade. I thought I had a pretty good interest in playing music, but that was about it. Maybe I wasn’t as clueless as Yui and her imagination playing castanet in the band. But I sure didn’t have the experience or skills of Azusa when she joined the club.
Yeah, this Azusa girl is pretty damn good.
