K-ON!!
It's the final year of high school for Yui Hirasawa (guitar), Ritsu Tainaka (drums), Mio Akiyama (bass), and Tsumugi Kotobuki (keyboard); the founding members of the Light Music Club. Together with their junior member Azusa Nakano (guitar), they spend their days after school in the music room enjoying tea and sweets, and practicing music. Amidst band practice, preparations for the new student orientation performance, scouting for new members, and student responsibilities they still have time for "After School Tea Time".
At long last, the long wait is over! I am so late in watching this one but finally, time has permitted me to watch K-ON!! once again.

As always, Yui is seen in the first sequence of the episode and this she is NOT LATE!!! Hoorah!!! She is one hour early than usual simply because she misread her alarm clock. She also wanted to be early so that she can practice her new guitar technique that she wants to use when they perform in the first year welcoming concert.

Everybody is now in senior year but not for Azusa. I guess the season 2 of K-ON will deal with recruiting new members so that the club can still continue in the next years. That will be the central theme and the biggest hindrance the girls of After School Teatime needs to face. But hey, they are the protagonists so they will pull things off in the end.

The series started pretty well with the girls belonging to the same class. All thanks to Sawa-chan who pulled some strings to make sure that the seniors can have the chance to enjoy their high school life to the fullest.

Their first every performance for the school year went well but sadly, no one is interested to join the club. How will they solve this problem? Well..I guess I will tune in regularly for K-ON!!! :)
