A bit of mishmash, this is an SG—made by Epiphone and not Gibson, it is created in almost the same way as Nao’s vintage guitar. The sweat towels feature Ritsu (rear) and Yui (center)…if you look close enough, you’ll see the Mio and Yui Figma on top of the Ritsu towel. Also, is ‘HEART STATION’, probably the best Hikaru Utada album out there. Think of this as a tribute to Nao that includes others from the band.

Last time on K-ON!!!!! “Beautiful World’ the girls of ‘Hokago Tea Time’ took second place in a competition featuring the big names in music, …

From left to right: Haruka Tomatsu, Minako Kotobuki, Ayahi Takagaki and Aki Toyosaki.

Sphere, the Japanese Idol group that features Aki Toyosaki who voices Yui and Minako Kotobuki who voices Tsumugi in K-ON! Joining them are Haruka Tomatsu—Plays Ai Hidaka on The Idolmaster and Ayahi Takagaki.—plays Chris Yukine on Symphogear. Voice actors, Idols, and very popular in Japan; I have to admit that they sound good. My personal preference are bands who write their own songs, play their own instruments and such, but sometimes there is quite a lot of enjoyment in watching singers; I’d say check them out, Amazon is …

Cut and paste—Photo Shop style! This is what Miho would look like. I used the girl as the base—I can’t find a signature or where I got the picture to give credit to the great artist, but if you are out there, awesome art! I added other pieces to her and re-colored her outfit to match. The guitar is a Takamine Jasmine, I went over it with the paint bucket tool and it turned out cartoon style with wear on the body, it was just luck. I tried to size everything as correctly as possible—after all, Miho is only 5’2”, so …

The rainy season in Japan—mixed with the dim-witted Yui and her sister Ui makes for a good laugh! In this screen capture from the Anime, Yui and Ui are walking to school and its pouring! Yui is trying to protect her guitar, Gita from the downpour but it’s a losing battle for her as she gets soaked by the falling rain, kids running by, a car splashing through a puddle and a dog shaking off on her. Finally, Yui ends up falling down finishing her off. Yui and Ui should follow suit and copy the woman who is walking the dog…but, …

From left to right: Jun, Azusa, Ui, Nao, Sawako and Sumire.

Here it is, the last Manga of K-ON! Although I’ve read the fan translation online a ton of times, it’s nice to actually own the book. However, there are some serious translation problems—most notably is that the translator has changed the fact that Sumire’s family comes from Austria to Australia? What the hell? I triple checked the information and came to the conclusion that they want to hide that Sumire’s family was probably against the Nazi’s and were taken to Japan by the Kotobuki family who were also probably against …

Yui and Ui—High School and Junior High—Why is the junior high student taking care of the high school student? Ui’s sister complex was pretty bad back then…Maybe it was caused by something more than just a story arc set to comedy…

Last time on K-ON!!!!! “Beautiful World” The NEW ‘Hokago Tea Time’ was formed with Nao as their lead guitar and singer. Azusa gave her Fender Mustang to Yui who became her bands Rhythm Guitarist in tribute to her Azu-Nyan.  Now, Nao and Ui meet to repair the relationship between Yui and Ui; in:

K-ON!!!!! “Beautiful World” Part 5.

She had …

A screen capture of Azusa and Yui from near the end of season 1 of the Anime; it really captures how much Yui thinks of her junior—although, after the touching moment, Azusa slaps Yui and leaves a hand print because Yui tried to kiss her…

Last time on K-ON!!!!! “Beautiful World” Azusa found that she wouldn’t be able to play her guitar anymore due to her brain injury. A small group went to see Nao and Maki after Nao had overcame her depression caused by the loss of her unborn children—however, Nao’s pain has yet to vanish and she began hurting …

Ever since the Avatar was fully explained thanks to Roku in the original series, most fans of the show, myself included, immediately started to wonder who was the first Avatar? Well after years of speculation and various fan theories, “Beginnings Part 1 & 2” finally answers this question in spectacular fashion in what may be the best episodes in both Avatar shows by far.

Part 1 begins with Korra being taken by the Fire Sages into their temple where they put her in something resembling holy water after figuring out her spirit was infected and would be destroyed unless she regained …

Nao and Sumire as maids for the Light Music Club!  Sawako liked to play dress up and use her girls as the models–maybe instead of becoming a teacher, she should have been a fashion designer?  This image is Anime style, it even looks official.  There is no signature and I don’t know where I got it on the vast Internet, but I love it, so that is the credit I’m giving.

Last time on K-ON!!!!! “Beautiful World,” Nao finally breaks free from her private hell with thoughts of her past and those who were there for her. Now, Jun and Azusa …

Paladin here, taking over for Miss M for this months Vintage Toy—yeah I sold her out…just kidding…

Anyhow, with Sailor Moon making a revival; Usagi and friends need a little…oh…wait…Well, I guess Serena and friends…::sigh::…

All right, so in the U.S. about 20 years ago we were cheated—uh—treated—to the Magical Girl Anime, Sailor Moon which consisted of five teenage girls who were actually princesses of the planets and moon of the Earth. These girls had the job of protecting humanity all the while, going to school, hanging out and growing up.

Although Go Lion (Voltron) was probably one of the most …
