Sentai Filmworks has since re-licensed the first season, in addition to acquiring the rights for the second season and film. The title of the series comes from the Japanese word for light music, keiongaku (軽音楽?), which in the Japanese context is similar to pop music.

Plot

In K-On! in an unspecified part of Japan, four Japanese high school girls join the light music club of Sakuragaoka Girl's High School to try to save it from being disbanded. However, they are the only members of the club. At first, Yui Hirasawa has no experience playing musical instruments or reading sheet music, but she eventually becomes an excellent guitar player. From then on, Yui, along with bassist Mio Akiyama, drummer Ritsu Tainaka, and keyboardist Tsumugi Kotobuki spend their school days practicing, performing, and hanging out together. The club is overseen by music teacher Sawako Yamanaka who eventually becomes their homeroom teacher as well during their final year of high school.

In their second year, the club welcomes another guitarist, underclassman Azusa Nakano. After Azusa joins they gain more structure and begin to practice more.

After their third year, Yui, Mio, Ritsu and Tsumugi graduate and enroll into a university. There they join its light music club alongside three other students: Akira Wada, Ayame Yoshida, and Sachi Hayashi. Meanwhile, Azusa continues to run the high school light music club alongside Yui's sister Ui, their classmate Jun Suzuki, and new members Sumire Saitō and Nao Okuda.

Yui Hirasawa (平沢 唯 Hirasawa Yui?)
Voiced by: Aki Toyosaki (Japanese); Stephanie Sheh (English)
Yui is the main protagonist of the series. She is one of the members of the light music club and plays a Heritage Cherry Sunburst Gibson Les Paul Standard electric guitar (before she knew how to play the electric guitar, the only instrument she knew how to play was the castanets)[1][2][3] that she nicknames "Gīta" (ギー太?).[4] She does not get good grades in school (though when properly coached, she can achieve astounding results) and is easily distracted by trivialities (mainly those deemed cute and adorable). Yui is clumsy and easily spaces out most of the time. She can be forgetful and is sometimes oblivious to the situation around her. Yui has shoulder-length, brown hair (a little longer than Ritsu's) which she accessorizes with two yellow hair clips, and brown eyes. She takes a huge liking for any kind of food (though she never gains weight, which is greatly envied by Mugi, Mio,[5] and Sawako[6]).

She has a younger sister named Ui, who is very mature and acts as the "older sister" of Yui, taking care of her and keeping her in line.[2] Yui works extremely hard to get better at playing guitar. During performances, Yui plays with amazing energy and joy which usually results in great response from the audience.[7][8][9]
Yui is the band's main vocalist and lead guitarist and has absolute pitch—she can tune her guitar perfectly without a tuner, which greatly impresses Azusa, who has played the guitar much longer than Yui.[6][10] She has a very easy-going nature, but has incredible focus and retention when she has a clear goal in sight; unfortunately this is limited to only one subject at a time, and her other skills deteriorate quickly (for example, Yui is at one point pressed to make up failing test scores, and she quickly brings her math skills up to par while allowing her guitar skills to deteriorate.)[11]

Despite all of this, Yui is still devoted to her band and will always practice hard enough for the club. At school, she has become quite admired for her great voice. However, she is known to forget her lyrics in mid-performance as well as overdoing things, making her unable to perform sometimes.[7] Mio was the lead vocalist at first, since Yui could not play the guitar and sing at the same time.[12][13] Yui is also known to write childish lyrics as Ui has assisted her in creating them.[14][15]
Mio Akiyama (秋山 澪 Akiyama Mio?)
Voiced by: Yōko Hikasa (Japanese); Cristina Vee (English)
Mio is a shy girl who is in the light music club. She plays a left-handed, 3-Color Sunburst Fender Jazz Bass with a tortoiseshell pickguard,[1][2] though is shown playing a Fender Precision Bass in the first manga volume.[16] She uses D'Addario EXL160M medium bass strings.[17] Her bass is given the name Elizabeth (エリザベス Erizabesu?, or Elizabass) later in the anime.

While she originally intended to join the literary club, she was forced into the light music club by her childhood friend and the club's president/drummer, Ritsu.[1] She gets excellent grades in school and is often mature and strict especially where Ritsu is involved; her weakness is the horrific; she is often incapacitated with fear when stories involving ghosts, blood, injuries,[18] haunted houses,[19] barnacles[20] or other disturbing topics come up. She also has a fear of being in the spotlight and gets embarrassed easily, and is often subject to teasing from Ritsu[18] and Sawako, their club adviser and eventual third-year homeroom teacher. Mio has long, straight black hair and gray eyes (that are angled slightly more than the other characters). She cites that she chose bass since it is not the center of attention in the band, unlike the guitarist.[16] Mio is more technical when it comes to music, and Yui often comes to her when she is in need of more guitar tutorials.

Mio is the second vocalist of the band, though given her dislike of being center stage, she tries to avoid taking the lead vocal if possible, generally singing if Yui is unable to.[7][12] She writes most of the songs, although they usually feature some odd and overly girlish lyrics like "Light and Fluffy Time".[12] As she is left-handed, she becomes entranced whenever she sees left-handed instruments, because of their rarity.[4] After their first live performance, the attractive Mio gained a huge fan following (in no small part due to an unfortunate accident that occurred at the end of the show),[19][21] led by an infatuated former student council president.[22] Also resulting from her sudden popularity, most of her classmates voted that she portray Romeo in their class play.[23] Mio comes to greatly enjoy her time at university as she encounters many new experiences.[24] She is also able to overcome some of her shyness and make new friends such as Sachi and Ayame.[24][25]

Wait, 4chan didn't have captchas once?

Captcha was originally going to be a temporary thing but it proved to be too effective for moot to remove.
Befor Captcha 4chan was filled to the brim with spambots posting viruses, some autistic swede kept promoting his own website and people used them to bomb threads until they reached bump limit.
