I can’t get enough of strawberry parfaits.

I can eat tons of rice, but sweets go in a separate stomach! This song is exactly that! It’s a track from the anime K-On!!, which sparked a band boom, included on the 2010 album Ho-kago Tea Time II.

It’s a lively, catchy, and super-cute rock tune that makes you want to turn up the volume! And thanks to the lyrics’ worldview, you’ll find yourself craving parfaits more and more.

Maybe listen with caution if you’re on a diet.

The most full K-On

It’s the opening theme for the feature film K-On! The Movie, with Yui Hirasawa as the lead vocalist.

It’s included as the B-side on After-School Tea Time’s tenth single, “Unmei♪wa♪Endless!” It features a luxurious ensemble with strings as well as woodwinds and brass, and—perhaps to match the setting of a graduation trip to the UK—you can hear Beatles-like arrangements throughout.

【K-ON!】Ohayou, Mata Ashita

A hidden gem that wasn’t used in the film, this is the coupling track to the ending theme “Singing!” from the K-ON! movie.

All five members of After-School Tea Time share lead vocals, and its shuffle rhythm and Brit-pop-like arrangement—akin to the movie’s opening theme “Ichiban Ippai”—feel wonderfully pleasant.

The lyrics evoke the gentle close of a leisurely day and a hope that things will continue on, leaving you with a touch of bittersweet emotion.

❤[K-On!] Tokimeki Sugar (with lyrics)❤

Despite its intensely prominent bassline, this song is also charming for its lyrics packed with Mio’s cuteness.

In the show, it appears in Season 2, Episode 7, presented as a song Mio wrote for members of the Mio Akiyama Fan Club, with both the title and lyrics shown.

The punchline is that her unique sense wasn’t understood not only by the club members but even by the members of After School Tea Time.

Curry, then riceAfter School Tea Time19rank/position

Curry, then rice

The TV anime K-ON!, which began airing in 2009, is a masterpiece that left its mark on Japanese anime history, sparking such a phenomenon that anime fans and teens of the time picked up instruments.

At the same time, because it centers on a high school girls’ band, the series produced many beloved songs that continue to be cherished well into the 2020s.

The song we’re featuring today, Curry Nochi Rice, perfectly encapsulates the essence of Yui Hirasawa, who serves as the main vocalist.

Over a cool track driven by punk rock–style, fast-paced drums, a flashily active bass, a hard-driving guitar, and an organ that takes a star turn, Aki Toyosaki’s irresistibly cute vocals as Yui shine with brilliant contrast.

The lyrics, which cleverly juxtapose curry and a girlish first crush, are superb as well.

Head over heels for GītaAfter School Tea Time20rank/position

[K-ON!] [Yui] Head Over Heels for Gitah

It’s not a song by After-School Tea Time; it’s a character song for Yui Hirasawa released in June 2009.

“Gīta” is the nickname for Yui’s Gibson Les Paul Standard, and the track is packed with her love for the guitar.

The lyrics skillfully incorporate lines that Yui would likely say, making it a must-listen for fans of both Yui and Gīta.

Samidare 20 LoveAfter School Tea Time21rank/position

Samidare 20 Love K-On

This is a song from K-On!, a band-themed anime that became a social phenomenon from the late 2000s to the early 2010s.

It doesn’t appear in the main TV series, but it’s briefly sung in the movie version.

With its cool sound, it remains highly popular among fans.

The opening bass phrase is especially striking, giving off a level of sophistication you wouldn’t expect from high school students.
