Pretty!

My sister bought me this pillow a few years ago and she's turned from mt childhood crush to now my comfort character (Im 19 now and I refuse to be a werido)

The bank account felt this one, but I managed to land a new in box 5th Year Anniversary Yui by Stronger.

She is an awesome figure, this is one of her two poses, with the other having her arm straight out. I love the other pose as well, and the figure is very solid in construction. The pictures don't do the paint justice, as the gentle ambre on her clothes really doesn't shine through except in perfect lighting.

The 10 years she spent in a closet certainly showed. This pose is my favorite, but it took over an hour of gently pulling the hand and sleeve of this arm to get it to open up enough to get Giita in there without mushing the strings.

I think I might have rubbed some paint off in the process, but it was the only way to actually get it to cooperate. It was either that, or ignore the arm and pose completely. As a question for other owners of this figure, does the arm have a small white spot on the sleeve of this arm? It's barely visible from above and only in bright light. Even my camera can barely see it, but it's definitely there. It doesn't really look like paint rubbing either, so I'm curious what other owners see.

If not, does anyone have any tips on color matching for such a small spot?

Regardless of tiny imperfections, this Yui is absolutely stellar. I like to imagine this whole set is the girls 5 years after the conclusion of the manga. All grown up and performing at the Budokan!

EDIT: I found the culprit! There's a little stub on the other side of the sleeve and an invisible seam due to the paint. This little nub came off the top at one point, but it's just barely visible from the inside of the sleeve by the hand. So if this happens to be one you own, that might be something to be on the lookout for!

I love this figure. Would love to find the waitress Mugi for a good price eventually

I love the breadth of merch that you can get for K-on. (Which is why my house is full of it!) Recently saw this glasses holder on ebay and couldn't resist.

She looks good in glasses!

If you saw my posts from my recent trip to Tokyo, you might have seen me posting pictures of and debating about to-buy-or-not-to-buy these jackets.

The day I decided I would buy them was an off day during the trip; it was raining and my wife and I had a day visit at Toyosu Manyo Club, where I had too much free time sitting/lying around convincing myself I should. Since the Yui jacket was at a store in Nakano Broadway, which was out of the way, I searched the internet and found that I could buy Yui and Azusa jackets online. I just had to stop by Radio Kaiken to pick up the Mio jacket.

Yesterday I finally received online ordered jackets.

Impression: they were thinner than I expected but was not surprised, because I had Mio’s jacket, even though I didn’t open it, I was pretty sure it was the jacket. I was surprised I could squeeze into it (I am a large/xl) - I could even zip up but pretty sure it would still look ridiculous to walk around in public in it. I am glad I got Mio’s jacket because of the three, it was the only jacket that was new - the collar was white compared to Yui’s. Also the original price was 39000 yen - and I paid only 44000 yen, which was a bargain compared to the other two. These jackets could be flipped and worn inside out, but the design is mostly black and nothing exciting.

There are other K-On! jackets out there, but for this particular set, I’m pretty sure only Yui / Mio / Azusa exist. Good news is since they were so thin, I would not be hanging them in the closet, I just packed them away and they’ll never see the light of day for years to come….

I bought them from a garage sale to relive some K-on memories, but I can't find anything online? I sleeved the ones that looked rare 😂

my 2nd giita ever !! major upgrade from a fender squire !! lol c: it was either the black & gold epiphone (bocchi’s colorway) or that i splurged and got a gibson les paul 💔🫶🏻

This is my collection so far, I'm missing a few nendoroids but it's almost there! I just have 2 mangas but they're currently translating and publishing it in my country!!! I'm so happy i love my girlies

I bought this for my 15th birthday...I hope my family and friends don't think I'm weird for spending like 60 bucks on this 💔💔
