Due to the vintage instrument that Nao uses and the lack of official artwork on the entire internet, I figured that I’d show all the things that make MY VERSION of Nao, Nao. The Roland G-707 in the center is just awesome and the GR-700 Synthesizer pedal box that goes with it is just as cool. Also included are Nao’s current headphones and even her glasses. Send out the Nao love!

Keion!!!! K-ON!!!! “Dust in the Wind” Part 6.

Last time Nao and Sumire were joined by their band mates and began setting up for the recording of their album and …

In this Photoshop created cover, the focus is on Nao (left) and Sumire (right). The purpose of this cover is to highlight how far both girls have come since their high school days as beginners, to the current story where they are just as well pros.

The text boxes are small, so below is what I wrote in each:

“Nao has come a long way from hiding backstage performing live mixing at shows. She has become almost center stage as she performs live with her fellow “Wakaba Girls” and her vintage Roland G707!”

“Sumire had once been a novice drummer, a …

To Akira’s black and gold “Tuxedo” Gibson Les Paul Custom, Yui says “It’s Black Gita!” Well, courtesy of a friend, here is “Camo Gita” an Epiphone Les Paul Custom Zakk Wylde with custom graphics. The blue is my project Strat and the gray is my beloved Ivanka Ibanez. As you can see, “Yui” is draped over the Les Paul, how fitting.

Last time, Yui showed her worth as a teacher and an influential group formed to pull Ritsu in the right direction—this story continues now. After; a big day for Azusa and Jun—but, be warned, there are very graphic depictions; READER …

Back in 2007 Kakifly released the first story of K-ON! And this photo of Mio and Ritsu in their first year of high school after forming the Light Music Club showcases what a lot of 15 year old girls would do with some photos. Note the tabs on the corners for putting it in an album—hey, its 2007, digital was blooming, but people still liked albums…!

Last time, Ritsu witnessed the coming together of “The Wakaba Girls” and their popularity as a band. She saw old friends and spoke with a new. Nao warned her that Mio was not ready—ready for …

Taken from the Manga by Kakifly. From left to right are Ui, Nao, Azusa, Sumire and Jun–The Wakaba Girls!

The fan fiction…there are so many out there, but this one is mine. A fantasy written by a fan of a show, character, book, etc… How would I see these characters? This is what the writer of a fan fiction would say before they put pen to paper.
The intention is not to break copyrights or piss off other fans; it is to let the fans share their own ideas or fantasy of what they would do with their favorite characters—its also …
