Remember the time, not too long ago, when many went crazy over Mio and began raiding music instrument stores for her lefty bass? Some could afford the money to make their purchase, but many of the other (diehard) Mio fans could only stand by the sidelines, watching helpless as others obtain their Fender Jazz bass while all they can play is air guitar. That was pretty entertaining.
Then, I saw this.
Now, I’m sharing the emotions of the other poor Mio fans. I think it might be love at first sight, like how Yui reacted when she first saw Guitar in the store.

I’ve been seeing quite a bit of news regarding the special K-ON! guitars that are to be released, and was wondering why there wasn’t one for BECK. My question was answered while I was browsing through the music magazine section in Kinokuniya. Holding up a copy of the August release of GiGS, I was deciding if I should make the purchase just for the band score of Black Market Blues by 9mm Parabellum Bullet. While deciding, I flipped to the back of the magazine, and was surprised by the advertisement.
It was Koyuki’s Fender Mustang (MG69-BECK) going for 105,000 yen. The advertisement’s there probably because of the upcoming movie next year, which is still a long way to go.

For those of you who have watched or read Nodame Cantabile, do you remember when Chiaki criticised Mine, that punky rocker violinist, regarding the way he plays? Chiaki used the words “Onani play”, which translates to masturbation play. In other words, self pleasure. I still remember how I laughed at that. The phrase was simply hilarious.
Nodame’s expression while she says - Priceless
Yet, I think that the phrase can now be applied towards me. Yes, I think I’m guilty of that.

Finally, after months of waiting for I’m not sure exactly what, I got myself an electric guitar. A real Fender Stratocaster would have been a dream come true, but no, poor noobs like me should stick to copies like Squier.

After hearing the hilarious tale of how The Sojourner was forced into playing the piano after his parents watched the Nodame Cantabile drama, it sparked my interest and I soon found myself watching the anime. After all, K-ON! alone isn’t enough to satisfy my appetite for music-themed anime since it seems to be focusing more on snacks rather than the music.
I’m almost done with the first season of the anime, and I’ve come to realise how similar Nodame and Yui are. Yui’s just like a guitar playing version of Nodame with loads of Moe implants. It’s as though Yui’s character was based on Nodame.
