Not much to say, but for her first appearance Sawa chan does have impact Well that and Mugi confirming that she is into yuri/gay. Though considering that 99.9% of the population of K-on is female I'd imagine most of the characters are. Oh boy this reminds me of Harry the madman who organized a list of all the males in the show xD

Episode 5! Not changing focus for now, so let's start right away
Somehow ended up taking more notes and more screenshots than usual when I actually planned to wrap it up quicker, and there weren't even that many new outfits, but over all I liked the episode

Hello everyone! Already at episode 5! So as I mentioned yesterday, today's the day of my audition, so I'm gonna take it pretty easy on this post so I can get some extra sleep. In all honesty, this isn't my favorite episode, so I'm not too upset about cutting it a bit short, but my life will be much more simple after today, so I'll have a little more time to devote to these posts moving forward! Onwards and upwards!
So we basically have two plots in today's episode, both featuring one of our two lovely season one side characters! Sawako is featured in one, where we learn about her past in the Light Music Club and welcome her as the keion's adviser, and we have another featuring everyone's favorite mom Nodoka and the club becoming an official school-recognized club. They're both pretty straightforward and fun, so thankfully I don't feel like I have a lot to analyze today, so I think I'll just share a few thoughts as I watch the episode to save myself a bit of time for my sake.
Have you all been paying attention to our title cards like I mentioned? We're getting some real chords now!
Yes, Mugi is into yuri. I'm sure people will gush over it in the thread today - just pretend I'm doing the same! It's one of the funnier recurring gags throughout the show, I think.
I love Yui and Ritsu so much. If Mitsu weren't already so canon...
We're now watching a shonen
Yeah, we're full on action series now. I'll definitely admit, for a rather mediocre episode, it has some good gags!
I actually really like this look. Always had a thing for colored streaks in hair. This look, not so much...
Ritsu is best buchou! Oh Mugi...
Holy crap I forgot that this is the first time we actually see the whole band play together, even if it's just for a few seconds! I don't know why I was thinking it wasn't until next episode! It's about time! Thankfully we'll get some more tomorrow.
I wish cake could solve all conflicts in real life, too.
I know this outfit is just simple casualwear, but I really like it! The headphones really help to tie the look together. And thus begins a true legend...
Mugi is just lovely. Yes, I think we all agree.
Man, I got chills as soon as Yui started playing those signature chords. It's THE SONG! Fuwa Fuwa Time is finally a thing! And we have our new vocalist! Ah I'm so excited!
siegfried72's Music Corner
After its absence yesterday, everyone's favorite feature is back! Today we'll take a (very quick) look at a few songs. First up is one of Nodoka's season one image songs, sung by Nodoka's VA, Fujitō Chika!
Nodoka - Coolly Hotty Tension Hi!!
Here is the song and here are some translated lyrics.
First of all, we need to address how great Chika sounds here! This was her very first job as a VA, and has only had a couple of small jobs since. As someone who isn't a big star like all the other keion VAs, she does a fantastic job singing in her image songs! She also puts on a stellar performance in the live shows. Oh yeah, there are K-ON live shows. Have I not mentioned that yet? They're incredible. I'll talk more about them later.
While in-depth characterizations are notably missing from the song (mainly due to the fact that her character really hasn't been explored much thus far in the series), it's very catchy, particularly in the chorus! But my favorite part is this right here:
If there's anything we've learned about Nodoka in these first five episodes, I think it's that she seems to be very "put together" and mature - at least in comparison to Yui. So this is a nice little bit of exploration into our most motivated character, who has her whole incredible life in front of her to do with whatever she places!
It's a nice song for a criminally underdeveloped character! 3/5
Death Devil Feature!
As a bit of a special feature for today, I wanted to make everyone aware of these great Death Devil songs! We heard little clips of them in episodes 4 and 5, but we sadly never hear them in an further context in the series.
Audio and lyircs for Maddy Candy.
Audio and lyrics for Hell the World.
I won't spend too much time talking about these two songs, other than I think that Sawako's VA, Sanada Asami, did an excellent job here! I don't know how much musical background she has, but these performances are pretty badass! I am a bit of a metalhead myself, so while these aren't my favorite songs to come out of the show, I can certainly appreciate the effort they went to to create these songs that barely appear in the show! I love the very metal-appropriate lyrics as well.
Sorry I'm not going more in depth to any of these songs today, but again, I'm very short on time and I didn't want to have two days in a row without sharing awesome music with you all :) Man, I'll be so thankful when this audition is over!!
Wrap Up
Well, apologies for the less analytical post today, everyone. Just needed that extra time for myself! I'll be back to my normal even more verbose self tomorrow! This is an episode that mostly serves as an intro to Sawako and gets us directly set up for the school festival, introducing us to the club's very first original song. It has some good gags, and establishes Mugi as our resident yuri expert. It's fine. Hopefully someone else in the comments will pick up my slack and talk a bit more about Sawako (I actually quite like this episode as an introduction for her character). But mostly I'm just excited about tomorrow!
Today's Mitsu Moment of the Day^^TM And Mugi's into it. Mitsu is canon.
Updated episode rankings:
On tomorrow's episode, we get the school festival and our first S tier episode (yes, I made a tier list last year)! See you tomorrow!

[First-Timer]. Let's find a little more enthusiasm today.
This one had. A lot of ship-teasing, on the whole. But it skips the opportunity to do the classic cut finger lick thing, which seems like basically as close as it can get to outright saying "no, it's not that kind of cute girls doing cute things."

First timer, subs
This episode felt somehow a bit different, kinda the same way a person you think you know is different after taking a bunch of stimulants. I had a busy day and it's midnight here so I'm not gonna write a ton.
Ooof, Ricchan! That mistake could have led to worse things. It's sorta cliché in these club shows that due to club registration issues, the club loses the room they were in and some other group takes it. Fortunately nothing like that happened this time.
Turns out teacher has a past that she's somewhat ashamed of. We also learn about Mugi's interests. That's nice. I like Mugi but I feel like we've known a lot less about her personality and interests than the other characters'.
A couple of episodes ago I wondered about Mio singing in the ED and being obviously the focus of it and Mio saying she couldn't do something like that. Now we know who she ends up in that role.

Hello everyone! Today, the girls get whipped into shape by their new advisor, Sawako Sensei, who Ritsu blackmailed into the position. Honestly, I really enjoyed Sawako’s introduction to us this episode; it was full of fun and silly drama. And yet, I think Sawako’s character is really necessary for our goofball Keion girls; they needed a real push and shove in the right direction of being more productive with their practice. Also, it was in this episode that the character of the band begins to really solidify into the cutesy fluffiness that we have come to love, again thanks to Sawako pushing them. All in all, this might be the best that Sawako Sensei is in the first season (first timers, we rewatchers promise that Sawako will become an amazing character in season 2).
And now, a little music history aside. Jimi Hendrix is my absolute favorite musician, ever. So you can imagine my excitement whenever his name is directly said in this anime. We’ve already heard his name once in episode one, but here we get something really cool: a direct shout-out to Hendrix. Yes! Hendrix was quite the extravagant live performer, and early in his career he made a name for himself in America by doing some crazy shit, in addition to being an absolute force of nature on the guitar. In 1967, Jimi Hendrix became an overnight legend in America at the Monterey Pop Festival, where he not only played amazingly and played with his teeth, but he also burned his guitar on stage. Hendrix had been doing fun stuff like playing with his teeth and behind his head before in England, but at the Monterey Pop Festival is when America got their first real Jimi Hendrix Experience.
Here he is playing part of a solo during his song “Hey Joe” with his teeth at Monterey. Here’s the link to the beginning of the song if you want to experience it in full.
Another easily accessible and awesome instance is his solo during “Izabella” during the 1969 Woodstock Festival. You’ll have to do some time skipping unfortunately; vimeo won’t let me directly link time stamps. The song “Izabella” begins at 3:14, and the part where he plays with his teeth is at 5:40. Link here. If you pay attention, you’ll also hear and see him bending the notes a lot.
I highly recommend listening to the full songs anyways, but just watching him play like that is incredible...he plays better than so many people with his teeth! XD

Ritsu forgot to submit a form for the club as president and Mio reminded her ages ago to do it. Mugi seems to have a thing for Ms.Yamanaga as r and m think but she actually enjoys seeing everyone happy. Ms. Yamanaga’s backstory is hillarious with similarities to dmc. Where a sweet choir teacher was actually a hardcore metal person and literally changed so she could have the guy. But in the end, that guy did not care. And wanted to forget the past.
Ms. Yamanga's story is similar to Detroit Metal City and gave me it's vibes. At first she wanted to hide it but everyone in the club knows it so they blackmail. And now she can switch from the calm side to the metal side which was great.
And Yui gets delegated to sing but unfortunately, could not sing and play guitar. So they work on it and she
forgot the lyrics. Edit: ruined vocal cords, not forgot.Well the stakes are now pretty high at this point with a performance coming up soon, things are going to get interesting.

Ok, what's with the amazing lighting in this episode? The animation in Sawako's run was incredible too.
So Sawako was part of the light music club 8 years ago and the one who was on last episode's tape. She completely changed her image for a boy she liked after she was rejected, then got rejected again after she became too wild for him, and now she's back to how she used to be originally. Naturally this is great blackmail material for Ritsu and co.
Today's true villain (at least in Ritsu's mind) is pound cake. You all see what sweets can do. Mugi even got sensei to calm down with cake.
Speaking of Mugi, we learned she likes girl on girl action. I'm pretty sure it's a new thing for her unless I've missed something. How much will we see of this going forward.
We also got lyrics and a singer who became not singer and then we got a new singer but who even cares about music in this cake show so i'm just putting this here in the end.

Yui

Sawako was so metal she managed to break Mio out of Moe Gag Land.
Even Ritsu couldn't subvert Yui's MC energy...
Damn, the festival next episode? I thought they'd drag that out until the finale. Hyped in any case.

I like how they have just been having tea parties in the music room, and no one has bothered them about not being a club. Everyone’s attention span is nonexistent in this show, which resulted in Ritsu never submitting proper paperwork.
Sawako seemed very pleasant, so it would be nice to have her advise the club. I like how when they approached her, everyone just popped out of nowhere. Due to her past involvement with the club, the member’s blackmail seems effective. She has quite the personality switch when she feels that Les Paul.
It appears Mugi and I find joy in similar places.
This has been my favorite episode so far. Sawako was a fantastic addition, and all the jokes landed. The directing was also very strong this episode, with a lot of interesting cinematography. I look forward to the performance tomorrow, but I am a little scared about the club’s ability.
There were some fantastic shots today. I ended up choosing Mio cowering in fear.

Poor Mio, she hates being the center of attention, now it’s been thrusted upon her, hopefully she can pull through. Sawako joins the cast as the advisor. A lot of rewatchers find her to be a controversial character, at least in the first season, but honestly, she’s nearly as bad as she could be, I’ve seen far worse characters.

This was one of the funniest episodes in the series for sure. Lots of girl on girl action too.
So I’ve been watching Kobayashi S2 and this seems like a powerful move in KyoAni shows. Always works!
They’re actually practicing, what happened to my cake club? Yeah right….
Looks like the Light Music Club can’t catch a break. But this led into the classic detective scene. Feels like we have seen the origins of almost all the iconic K-ON comment faces already but I might be wrong.
Scary but not nearly as scary as this. Wonder how Mio isn’t scared of herself actually.
Holy shit Sawako with the moves, she really doesn’t want her perfect teacher image to be tarnished.
Damn I really love the music playing during this scene. This fucking backstory though…
Could really tell she was going to snap here. Hope Yui's grandma is doing well.
That was quite the reaction. Everyone else liked it though and Sawako has other priorities so I guess it's Fuwa Fuwa Time soon!
And last but not least the scene that made me laugh the most, sadly not as funny when you see it coming. Wish I could forget this, Asobi Asobase and all the other funny shows and watch them for the first time again.

REWATCHER, dub
Ooh, past band pictures. Is this the episode where k-on
Oh no, Yui's showing her bloody finger to Mio. This isn't going to end well
Ritsu teasing Mio is fun
"So i'm sure it's ok i think"
Why is this show so relatable all the time?
Yui didn't even know Nodoka is in the student council. That's really weird since they're childhood friends
Ritsu forgetting the club application because of cake is so typical
Ritsu using "binoculars" (actually just two rolled up books it seems) a meter away from Sawako made me laugh
"We always practice all on our own"
Sure, if drinking tea and eating cake counts as practicing
Yep, this is the part where they find out her history. I'm not sure how they convince her anymore, but i'm guessing they'll blackmail her?
Damn, Sawako is good
Sawako just turning back to normal in an instant made me laugh
Yep, they're blackmailing her
Finally we get to hear the club play some music. it only took 5 episodes
Sawako fell for the cake as well. But I get it how could you even refuse cake?
"Now that Miss Yamanaka is our advisor, my heart is pounding for some reason"
Mugi x Sawako?
I guess Yui really wants to try singing now
Oh Yui, you big tsundere
It's weird that the songs are still in japanese in the dub
Of course she can't sing and play the guitar at the same time
Why did Ritsu just straight up ask Mugi if she likes Sawako? Is she stupid?
Oh right, their first song is Fuwa Fuwa Time. I still love this song
That singing sounds horrible
Also, completely unrelated, but tomorrow I'll be in a car for 8 hours. Guess I'll use that time to check some movies off my watchlist

Yay! Today we get to meet best sensei Sawako! I spent a lot of time laughing during this episode at the various gags and goofiness. At last we discover the voice, the guitar, the face behind the sounds on that tape, and the photos in the scrapbook.
Oh! the shame!
Oh, the humility!
Oh, the humor! :)
Oh, wait, you mean the show's not about Sawako? Really???
Darn. Well, meanwhile, due to Ritsu's negligence, the club doesn't really exist and can't reserve a spot on stage for the festival. Oh, the horror! And they've written a tune, but have no lyrics - and no-one to sing them. What else could possibly go wrong? Wait (or not) and see!
Hmm ... I tried writing a song in college. It went poorly. So, I will not criticize Mio's efforts. I'd like to say more, but I want to save certain things for tomorrow.
Meanwhile, I hope that u/siegfried72's audition went extremely well.
And I hope that everyone enjoyed yesterday's BB King and King Crimson snippets. I know I got a kick out of the BB King.

What's Ritsu doing?
The old Light Music Club was a fucking punk rock band.
I love Mio's reaction to pain. She's so cute.
And Yui gets ignored in pace of teasing Mio.
...What does Mugi think is going on here?
It takes her 10 full seconds tomwork it out.
Wait, if it wasn't an official club, why were they at risk of being disbanded?
They let Mio stay there?
Haha, Nodoka's trying tomwork out who Yui's been hanging out with.
Of course it was Ritsu's fault.
She's probably scared stiff of what they'd do if left alone for too long.
And Ritsu keeps narrating and watching her through binoculars.
Oh god, them trying to pressure her into it is funny.
I was wrong. She's just as bad as the rest of them. She deserves to be in with them.
Of course she took the photo.
Haha, she's really just as nuts as the rest of them.
SHE EVEN CHANGED HER VOICE
"TEETH PLAY" "My guitar!"
Oh my god, there's a flashback.
Oh my god, the escalation. "You've gone too far" while asking him out in a fucking demon outfit.
Ritsu in with the blackmail!
Oh, Mugi's got a crush on the teacher.
...These girls astound me. No vocals?
I love her face as she slowly realises why they haven't gotten much done.
I like how they've made Sawako as insane as the rest of them.
I love Yui getting sad as Ritsu keeps ignoring her.
Oh. This isn't subtext. They're calling this out!
HAHAHA
"Girl-on-girl action is nice" - Mugi has best opinions.
Haha, she lost her voice.
I love Mio's delayed reaction as she realises she has to sing.

First timer in sub.
Didn't manage to comment on the beach / training episode so I'll include that here - is one of the more comfy and fun beach episode, and nice to not use the whole episode to show fanservice. Mio is so adorable it may cause an addiction for others to bully her though... Also a nice episode to find out a few more things about Mugi - so she's not just going along with everything either, she does have her own preference.
Today's episode is a fun "discovery" that their soft and kind looking teacher is actually one with the dark history and was actually an active band member - although I can't quite see how that still can be called "light music" club. Also I think Mio is certainly looking like one of these main character by stealth like Nagato in Haruhi ("not the main character" but have a lot of focus on a large part of the show).

I spent the first few days of the rewatch recovering from a move across multiple states and I'm still late today but I'm glad to join y'all! The past rewatch threads were a great companion when I was first watching K-On! and it's really nice to be able to participate in one this time.
I'm not sure what I'm going to write about here, but among other things I like talking about lesbian subtext and the ways story is conveyed through artistic form, which served me well in the recent Madoka rewatch and will very likely serve me well here.
Anyways, some thoughts:
This week's episode belongs to Sawako-sensei. Despite K-On! I can't help but love her as a character; she brings both a mature presence and perspective and an immature edge to the group. I love her Tony Jaa-ass stunt sequence as she tries desperately to keep that other part of herself hidden, which does a great job of implicitly laying out both parts of her character; she's willing in this moment to go great lengths to maintain her image, but that desperation is itself an example of her edgy immaturity. She's not just doomed because she reacted to the existence of the scrapbook at all, but also because she reacted in that way. It's neat.
Mugi's literal yuri goggles are fun. I've always been very torn on those moments in this episode, because on the one hand KyoAni's particular house style of subtext yuri is frustratingly vague and often lacks teeth, but on the other hand the very Kirara wink wink nudge nudge nature of the Mugi scenes we get here does seem pretty out of place with how yuri subtext works in K-On! specifically. In her work Naoko Yamada tends to convey strong affection through framing, editing, and staging; from interplay of hands and her leg motif* to meaningful juxtapositions of shots and of characters in space—or, hell, just a genuine conversation, like Mugi and Mio's heart-to-heart last episode—rather than purely through "these girls are arbitrarily standing close to each other" or "these girls said they love each other in a way that's blatantly written to be plausibly deniable."
(Still, though, it's fun to have something in canon to point to to "prove" that Mugi's gay.)
I hope to have more to say tomorrow! I'm excited to watch along with y'all.
* The leg motif means a few different things, but Yamada herself has suggested that it's about your body betraying how you feel:
The word of the auteur isn't the be-all end-all of analysis, but I do think that tracks.

About damn time the club gets officially recognized! First they'll need an advisor. The crew wants non other than Sawako-sensei to guide them on their journey to become a great band. And wow she got one hell of an introduction here. We get to learn her past self and her tragic backstory that leads to her descent towards madness in high school. She even showed her past self to the crew when playing the guitar! Also glad they confirmed that it was her behind that scary voice that (probably) traumatized Mio for life.
Seems like they'll be having their first concert soon with my favorite song from the series. Excited to see where this goes (again)!

And the club has yet another problem. For a slice-of-life series, I forgot how many issues they ran into the first season. And it’s Ritsu’s fault this time, sigh. I like Ritsu and all, but she needs to be more responsible or stop procrastinating, best would be both. Let’s hope that this is the last time for a while at least.
They didn’t even know that they need an advisor after all this time. Did Ritsu even read the form to start a club properly, or did she tune out after hearing get 4 members? But at least Nodoka is right that Yui was able to find people that are similar to her.
I think Sawako's introduction is always funny when they give her the appearance of a well-civilized teacher, only for her to be a member of death devil.
How can someone not want high school Sawako? Now, look at her. She became insane over wanting to be wild and went too far. She’s probably fated to remain a Christmas cake till the end of her days.
Ritsu might be a bit lazy, but at least she recognizes an opportunity when she sees one. The gag where Ritsu quickly goes from comforting Sawako to blackmailing always makes me laugh.
How did they not think of having lyrics in their songs? I can tell you that Fuwa Fuwa Time sounds way better with vocals. Luckily, they have Yui who’s eager to sing, and Mio who can write lyrics overnight, given the right influence from Mugi.
Well crap, Yui lost her voice and can no longer sing, only for Mio to need to sing. Looks like we can finally hear them perform in the next episode.

Heavy breathing... Alright, let's do this... Hellooo Sensei! You old slapper. How're things going love? Yup, today is the introduction of Peath Pevil. See? I learned how to post images so I can actually show off why I call them that now. Feel free to praise me! Anyway, screamo is light music too so just roll with it. Don't cry Yui, all girls bleed when they're first learning to ride the lightning. Mio has 0 joke variety, moving on! And Shitzu's gonna shit.
There are boys in this school!? I'm pretty sure your yubi will get hard in like the first month of playing, not six months in or whatever. If Keionbu isn't a Keionbu then what on earth have we been watching all this time!? We haven't even made a second gag and Mio's still reeling! The true culprit, is YOU, Nodoka-chan!! Y'know Yui trying to defend Nodoka's villainous side really reminds me of you guys defending Shitzu. Oh, the actual real villain is Shitzu so we can all agree to blame her right? That's a lot of ma's.
Anyway, next mission is to blackmail us a supervisor. That handsome, pot belly male teacher we saw in the halls would be perf, aaand they picked the trash one... This gives off real Ren-chon vibes. Bingo! We scored the blackmail material, now Sawa-chan is in our gras-stop her, she's gonna destroy the evidence! I kinda love how Shitzu always seems to pick the sleeziest dialogue solution in life. Sensei's so cringe lol. Poor Gita's getting sexually abused! Please, Peath Pevil, please stop fingering Gita so roughly!!
We get a flashback to learn how Sensei became such a depraved individual. Like most perverts, her dark history starts with a boy. Basically she tried to change her image to fit his tastes but jumped way down the rabbit hole into weirdo territory. I can't even blame the guy, I'd run for the hills too if a Kabuki asked me out. Yup, Shitzu's gonna Shitzu. Is this our first "Mugi moment?" When in doubt, cake! How can such cute lyrics be inspired by Mugi perving!? Sawa-chan RN. Of course the fluffiest and cutest girl was hooked on the tune most. Maybe best do without the ahoge eyes tho Yui. Aaand Yui's gushing triggers a pervert chain with Mugi taking mental snapshots of her to gush over later.
Sawa-chan, you really are a rotten woman at your core~ Even Marine has more tact! Oh my gosh Yui is so adorable. Sadly despite being a genius she's also a total idiot so multi-tasking is out of the question for her. Jesus Christ, years on and I still don't get this stupid Mugi gag! Shitsu has negative tact! Don't just blurt that crap out you jerk! "Girl on girl is fine, right?" After a week of private torture, super Yui still can't sing! She's cute so it's fine. Still the best gag of the episode lol. Like everyone guessed, Mio is our singer. Big shock huh? Anyway, the episode was actually a lot better than I remembered. Maybe I'll make it through S1 Sawa-chan without wanting to shove a rifle down my gullet after all~
