[K-On!] After-School Tea Time Songs (1–10)
Winter nightNEW!After School Tea Time
It gently paints budding feelings of love against a backdrop of swirling snow, using soft, tender words.
You can feel the honest wish to walk hand in hand with someone you like, and the warmth in your heart that makes you feel happy no matter how cold it is.
Included on the album “Hokago Tea Time II,” released in October 2010.
Yui Hirasawa’s lead vocals and Mio Akiyama’s chorus blend together so gently.
Why not give it a listen on Christmas Eve with your special someone, or when you need a little courage to confess your feelings?
GO! GO! MANIACAfter School Tea Time
The opening theme of K-On! season 2, “GO! GO! MANIAC.” Its poppy, bright sound is uplifting to listen to.
The song showcases performance skills that seem almost unbelievable for high school students, and the cuteness of the vocals is striking.
It captures the sparkling everyday atmosphere of high school girls.
Listen!!After School Tea Time
A single in which Yoko Hikasa, who plays Mio Akiyama, serves as the lead vocalist—Afterschool Tea Time’s fifth overall.
It’s the first ending theme of K-On!! Season 2.
From the intro, it opens with an organ riff, and the organ’s timbre is prominently featured throughout, which really defines the track.
The progression from the organ solo into the guitar solo is nothing short of downright cool.
If you love organ used in rock, this song is irresistible.
NO, Thank You!After School Tea Time
This is the second season’s latter-ending theme song from K-On!!, and the eighth single released under the name “Houkago Tea Time.” The main vocals are by Yoko Hikasa, who plays Mio Akiyama, and her voice fits perfectly with the strong, girl-power image and cool melody.
With its hard-driving guitars, danceable rhythm, and a band ensemble that knows when to push and pull, it’s a cool track that’s guaranteed to hype up the crowd if you play it at a school festival!
U&IAfter School Tea Time
Released under the name Ho-kago Tea Time, this song is their ninth overall double A-side single.
In the show, it is performed in episode 20 of K-On!! season 2.
Although the lyrics for Ho-kago Tea Time’s songs are usually written by Mio Akiyama, for this song Yui Hirasawa wrote the lyrics.
You can tell just by listening: it’s a song Yui sings about her younger sister, Ui.
Yui’s unusually gentle singing voice—quite different from her usually bubbly character—is wonderful.
For those who understand the relationship between the two, this could be considered a hidden gem that’s sure to move you to tears.
Utauyo!!MIRACLEAfter School Tea Time
Aki Toyosaki, who plays Yui Hirasawa, handles the lead vocals on this track, which serves as the second cour opening theme for K-ON!! and the seventh single released by Ho-kago Tea Time.
With lyrics and melody perfectly suited to Yui’s character, it’s a pop number where a surging groove and sparkling band sound blend seamlessly.
It’s not a straightforward, linear 8-beat either, so if you actually try to cover it, it’ll be quite challenging!
Rice is a side dish.After School Tea Time
The comical lyrics that perfectly capture Yui’s character are amusing, and the song proudly sings of Yui’s love for rice.
It was featured as an insert song in episode 20 of K-On!! and released as After-School Tea Time’s ninth double A-side single.
Although it’s what you’d call a comic song, the moving bass line and the keyboard carrying the main riff make it a cool-sounding track.
