Time for another round of K-ON lyrics. This song is simply put very Yui-like which means I like it. It’s sometimes hard to make out what’s being sung just because of how fast Toyosaki Aki is singing but the lyrics themselves are relatively simple to understand. Anyway, all three sets of lyrics below as usual. NO, Thank You! coming up at some point whenever I feel like it. For now have fun attempting to sing this.

Here’s a request by a certain anon. This song was released with the Pure Pure Heart single and is a rock version of the school song for Sakuragaoka Girls’ Senior High School (桜ヶ丘女子高等学校高歌). You can hear the regular version in the first episode of K-ON!! The song’s pretty nice and the lyrics are pleasant. I kept in mind that the song is a school theme so I tried to keep it sounding school song-y if that even makes sense. Anyway translation below.

Here’s the insert song played in episode 10 of K-ON!! during the wedding reception. It’s by Sawa-chan-sensei’s former high school band DEATH DEVIL and she’s the lead singer. I guess because it’s so fast it’s pretty fun to sing. At the same time though I can sort of see why Sawa-chan-sensei goes out of her way to hide her past. Anyway I hope this turned out okay. Translation below:

Here are the lyrics for the insert song which Mio sings during her fanclub appreciation tea party in K-ON!! episode 7. The lyrics are pretty simple and cute. It’s about a shy person who has trouble expressing her affection to the person she likes. She can only watch and whenever she has the chance to confess she just ends up running away. It really suits Mio, doesn’t it? Anyway translation below like always. I’ll do the school anthem at some point too. Enjoy!

Now that the season is halfway over it’s time for a quick rundown of what I think about the season thus far. The two standout shows for me this season should be quite easy to guess. Thanks in part through the power of music Angel Beats and K-ON continue to remain at the top of my list. I don’t foresee that changing but the season has some other shows that I enjoy. Let’s take a look at my series impressions in alphabetical order.

After fighting the throng of rabid otaku my 1/8 scale Alter Hirasawa Yui has finally arrived! I reserved my copy as soon as preorders were open which was somewhere at the beginning of the fall semester for me. I’m now taking finals for the spring semester so it’s been a while. Given the various delays to Yui’s release date I was this close to canceling my order but I’m glad I didn’t.

So have you ever felt like doing something after watching an anime? You know the strange sensation to live out what just happened to recreate the magic, get in touch with characters or something else. Okay maybe not everyone does that but as embarrassed as I am I admit to doing that quite a bit. Well I’ve been feeling like that ever since watching the latest episode of Angel Beats. I wanted to understand the one thing that Kanade was looking forward to after Yuri ruined her life. Aorii and I went out to get some dinner and brought back some mapo tofu from a local Chinese restaurant. It was great. I can sympathize even more with her and how she was denied her one simple pleasure.

After finishing Listen!! I isolated myself in the mountains for years but finally I bring you GO! GO! MANIAC, the opening of K-ON 2. Actually that’s a lie. It’s just that the song is so long it almost felt like the years were just passing me by. That or somehow I got infected with FOXDIE. Anyway the song was rather easy to translate though because of the slang the romaji looks a little funny. Anyway enjoy my translation!

With the first episode or two of the new season’s anime out it’s time to give my first impressions of all the shows I’m watching. As this will be quite text and picture heavy I’ll get started right away. Note: Series are ordered in roughly the order I enjoyed them except for the two OVAs at the bottom of the list. Also I like Angel Beats and K-ON equally well. Anyway let’s go!
