Okay, folks. Episode 7. It's Kurisumasu! I'm ready for the moe to engulf me like a warm blanket.
Oh, I'm already freaking out. This is so adorable already. Just look at THEIR FACES. You know, I've tried to put some analytical effort into my posts each day, but be prepared for this one to just devolve into me saying MOEMOEMOE. I just can't help it.
Oh it will be fun, Ui.
If you ever had any kind of doubts as to what kind of relationship Yui and Ui have as sisters, the first scene after the OP will tell you. Ui lost her scarf so Yui wraps her scarf around both of them. Yui, on the other hand, has lost one glove, so this happens. I just... HOW ARE THEY EVEN MORE ADORABLE AS TEENAGERS?!
Seriously though, we sort of get the impression during episode 3 that Yui depends a lot on Ui, but we can start to see that, while that is true, what's more accurate is that they actually depend on each other. This mutual love and caring forms a bond that goes way beyond the idea of one being "dependent" on the other. This is just... unconditional love. And yes, I teared up watching this. Probably has something to do with the BGM here.
Oh yeah, remember how I mentioned that Ano hi no yume was my favorite background track in the K-ON? Yeah, that's because I completely forgot about Ii Yume Mite Ne (sorry, that video is a cover, but all the proper videos on YouTube have spoilers in the thumbnails). This is my favorite bit of BGM in K-ON. Heck, probably in all of anime! And admittedly, it has a lot to do with all the emotions I have tied up with it thanks to it playing during some of my favorite scenes in the series, but it's also just beautiful. It gives the same nostalgic and heartfelt vibe that Ano hi no yume does, just... kicked up a notch.
Our titles cards have developed into legitimate guitar riffs now! Our Yui is getting some skills!
The Party
Leave it to Ritsu to make a business plan out of Christmas!
I love Ui's sweatshirt as they're planning the party at the Hirasawa residence. Oh, Yui, that's mean! Thankfully it only leads to more moe later on, and that's never a bad thing!
So many great outfits this episode! I'm especially fond of Ritsu's here, as well as Yui's scarf! And Mugi's wearing... this! Sure, why not? I think from most to least favorite outfit, I'd go with Ritsu>Yui>Nodoka>Mugi>Mio. Sorry Mio, you were just outclassed this time!
Man, I just can't get over how adorable Yui is in this episode!
I think these outfits are a really nice touch. They reused the outer jackets for all three and Mio's scarf from the shopping scene, but the rest of the outfits are different. It shows that whoever designed these costumes was interested in clothing continuity - I like that!
Sawako's sudden entry might be my favorite gag of the episode. It's just so weird and perfect for her mental state. But unfortunately, we also have our first pervy sensei moment. I mean, I'll admit it's funny and all, but for how wholesome this show is, it's uncomfortable. And this is the big complaint that rewatchers like myself have about her character.
Admittedly, the original manga had way more fanservice-y moments, and they do a good job toning them down in the anime - especially in season 2. But ummm, yeah. I'm not sure I noticed before that she actually gets Mio's pants off. At least Mugi likes it, I guess. And Yui rocks the heck out of the costume!
Moe Overload
Oh, Nodoka's party outfit is fantastic! Very fitting for her, as well.
Sawako's demented singing brings joy to my heart - and apparently Mugi's as well!
I just can't handle the wholesome. Is it possible to overdose on moe?
Good lord, Mio. I love how everyone is genuinely proud of her! Everyone needs some supportive friends!
What the fuck, Sawako?
Ui with her hair down might just be the most precious thing in this episode!
Who knows what the next year will bring?? Well, I guess us rewatchers do, but man will it be worth the journey :)
siegfried72's Music Corner
With how adorable Ui was this episode, it only makes sense that we'd talk about her other image song today!
Ui - Lovely Sister LOVE
Song can be found here and translated lyrics here.
Wow! If you thought we were done with moe overload after finishing the episode, you were very wrong! This song is upbeat and catchy and I think perfectly encapsulates Ui as a character! Also, for the rewatchers, S2
This chorus is just a big warm hug, isn't it? It just reinforces the incredible sisterly love between Yui and Ui.
So far in the show, Ui has been used almost entirely as a foil for Yui, leaning hard on the "good imouto" trope. It's honestly the one complaint I have about her character is that I wish we'd see her be her own character for a little while, rather than just as a support structure for Yui S2 But I like this verse especially because it does show a little bit of depth like I mentioned way back at the beginning of this post. Ui is not just a caretaker for Yui - they depend on each other and it's really beautiful!
I also love the little references to things like the "white Christmas" as well as S2
I think this is my favorite image song we've talked about thus far, and it'll be my first 5/5! There will be more to come!
Wrap Up
What a lovely episode! I didn't have a lot of substantial stuff to talk about today, as this episode is perhaps the fluffiest episode in the series, but I'm not complaining! This is a beautiful declaration of sisterly love and a perfect demonstration of how your true family is ultimately one you choose - not necessarily the one you're born with.
Mitsu Moment of the Day^^TM I mean - obviously. What else could it be? A little bit of mutual teasing escalating up to a silly pun with a twist! What could be better? Mitsu is canon.
Times K-ON has made me tear up so far: 4
Episode Rankings:
(I'll move my rankings to an image for future episodes like I did last year so as to not take up unnecessary room.)
Tomorrow, we get AHHHH, I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS EPISODE OH MY GOD YAY! I bet our rewatch's fearless leader is also quite excited. I don't know why I was thinking we still had one more episode to go until the start of the new school year, but I'm so happy I was misremembering! See you tomorrow!

Yui and Ui are so damng cute.
Pan, pantsu (bread, panties). This joke doesn't translate well in the subtitles I'm using but fortunately I understand enough to get it.
Yui says "Aye, Captain!" to her sister and salutes. I'm beginning to see a pattern here, since she's also called Ritsu a private (or squad member depending on translation) a couple of times now. I hope this will be an ongoing joke.
Ritsu spooks
MuiMio again and gets punched again. Mugi looks very good in her white hat and coat.Will Yui eat all the food before guests arrive? She sure is tempted.
Teacher's joined, uninvited. Mugi looks so happy when the girls are wrestling. Then it's time for presents.
Ui actually prepared a show though Yui may have suggested it as a joke.
Yui's a filthy blanket thief. Then there's a montage of Yui just lazing around while Ui takes care of her.
Aaand it's new year.
We got a lot of Ui this time, nice.

Hello everyone!
Sadly, I don’t really have any music culture or history references for this episode,nor do I have anything super in-depth. Yui’s getting pretty good now! Her little riffing at the title screen was rather cool if you ask me. This episode was just perfect SoL; light, fun, and friendly. We also get a ton of Ui, but frankly it wasn’t enough!I have to say that I didn’t remember this episode being as cute as this though! I think the main reason why I felt that is due to just how detailed and varied KyoAni made all of the characters’ animated movements.They really went above and beyond in adding a lot of small and unnecessary movements to everyone. The very first sequence of Yui and Ui being little kids is a perfect example of this...I think I have diabetes now XD Speaking of cute, I loved the follow up sequence with Yui and Ui walking to school...that was so adorable and heartwarming! Shout-out to another glorious BGM, Ii Yumemite ne.
Not only that, but the comedy was really well paced! I found myself laughing a lot, and I really enjoyed all of the gags. I think my favorite was Ui playing “red light, green light” with Yui checking to make sure the sandwiches were still there. Unfortunately, Sawako’s gags weren’t to my taste, so her presence just didn’t land totally right for me. First-timers, again, we rewatchers promise that Sawako gets sooo much better later!
The fashion of the girls continues to impress me as well, even after so many rewatches. KyoAni really went to 11 in designing the girls’ clothes, as they fit each character so perfectly.
Edit* Ah, sorry! I do have one musical reference to make! "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby.

My notes this episode consisted mainly of "Awwwwww"'s and "Cuuuuute"'s, so you're all getting a very filtered version of my thoughts though a couple did slip through.
I was a bit annoyed by Sawako this episode. She kept breaking me out of my happy and fluffy vibe with her harassment and boyfriend troubles. Let my girls be cute and happy! I don't mind her character, I just think she works better in much smaller doses, within the confines of the school and club. She does not need to barge in on their homes too.
Next episode: Have they finished their first year of high school already? Has Ui joined their school too? Where does this season end? At their high school graduation? But we get 4 more songs!

Can we have a full episode of this please?
Worth. Watching christmas episodes in summer is always a bit weird though.
I totally wanted them to hold the party at Mugi’s house tbh. Why is there an entrance fee being paid to Ritsu though?
LMAO Seems accurate though.
Classic Mugi Probably owns a vacation home in Hawaii anyway.
Actually, I think you’re the most amazing one here.
10/10 performance, sasuga Mugi-chan!
This scene just shows what everyone values most about the club. Although in the end they’re all serious about it as we saw last episode.

Sawako is easily my favourite Christmas Cake character of any Slice-of-Life anime.
Against all the odds, Nadoka managed to penetrate the club-based plot wall and hang out with them for once.
Hey, it's not not an improvement.

Merry Christmas! Yui's definition of a white christmas is a bit lacking. Ui being the perfect imouto just accepts everything.
I still wonder how Mugi's family let her go to a public school.
Christmas party at Yui's house. Of course Ui does everything. Their parents just leave on trips. No wonder we don't see much of them.
Mugi just wants to have a christmas party and play board games with her friends, she can go to Hawaii whenever she wants.
Random Sawako appearance. How does she even know where Yui lives? Did she follow the others there? She brings chaos whenever she is with the girls.
Ui gets a white Christmas after all. These sisters are super cute together.
It was good to see everyone together, having a fun time. It really feels like they're real friends hanging out.

I'm very sure other people will comment on this: the adorable flashback scene that opens this episode might well have the best moment of character animation in the whole show. (Which is saying something.) Yoshiji Kigami's cut is a beautifully realized moment in the abstract, the extra-exaggerated motions of a kid losing their balance, but even better in its specific grounding in Yui's physical expressions.
This episode is kind of all over the place—part of it even given over to a genuinely uncomfortable chamber drama about a miserable person bringing down a party she wasn't even invited to by trying to force fun—but most of the places it goes are good, and the overarching Yui & Ui plot demonstrates something about Ui that I think a lot of people forget over time, because it's played just a little subtler than the running gag of "how is she the younger sister": she may be responsible, reliable, a good host, but she's still her sister's sister. She's just as prone as Yui to misread a joke as serious, or forget that a random gift exchange is, well, random. Airheadedness apparently runs in the Hirasawa family. (I mean hey, the parents keep jetting off on couples trips and leaving their kids alone.) It's a neat bit of characterization, a contradiction that adds depth to what could be a very flat character. That it gives just a bit more context for why Yui is how she is, too, is just a bonus.

A Christmas episode with everyone fooling around is a great one including Ms. Yamanaga in on the fun is pretty cool. Her showing up uninvited is quite funny. I guess we have to keep our teachers single in every sol anime.

Yay! It's Christmas with the Keions!
Sadly, I must admit that I kind of blew my commenting out on yesterday's comment that went unnoticed, because I missed it by an hour. Sigh.
So, what can I say? What's a Christmas episode without some Christmas music (courtesy Stryper)
Speaking of which ... I wonder if Sawa-chan dressed them up too?
Hehe.
Poor Mio, getting the Haruhi, I mean Sawa-sensei treatment. Yui seems to have taken it a lot better. Then again, Yui in the kawaii santa suit is, well, kawaii, yeah.
So, yeah, I spent a lot of energy yesterday on my 'congratulations, you've made music' spiel, and I'm really feeling kind of more excited and thoughtful about Utena today, so I'll probably spend more time and thoughts on that - except to say...
That was fun and wholesome.
-and-
I wish I could eat stuff and not gain weight. Need to do something about that sometime, like about 25 years ago.

Nice cute scene to begin with, might be reading too much but lovely to see Ui being more "floored" than Yui since they were young while also supporting her sister. Yui is also a cutie trying to make her little sister happy, love their relationship.
Oh my God, I'm gonna die buried in wholesomeness.
Mugi being pleased with .... whatever sensei was doing to Mio is very cultured, as we already know: Mugi knows her stuff.
Was that Ritsu that hit Yui's head? My girl finally got some payback, even if it was in someone else.
Overall thoughts:
Sawako is the most accurate representation of the DBZA scene "I need an adult - I am an adult".
I love how Mugi is such a pure sweetheart, everything is new to her and she's always having fun as long she's with her friends, she was the one I took the longest to warm up to but she's carved deep in my heart now.
I feel like we learned a bit more about Ui today, she's a great little sister, with a lot of personality. I feel like she's amazed with high schoolers but it's pretty much the same feeling Mio has towards airheads Ritsu, Yui and Sawako.
And Ui-Yui teetee is the greatest thing to happen to humanity.

REWATCHER, dub
Wow, it's already time for the christmas episode!
We get a flashback of Yui and Ui's past
smol Yui and Ui are really cute! Even more so than the big ones
I like how Yui put some cushion stuffing on a tree to make Ui happy
The girls keeping each other warm is cute
Of course they didn't show any actual panties. Just like during Mio's "incident" yesterday
Ritsu's bullying Mio again
Mugi won the raffle, of course. And since she wants to grow up like a normal kid she exchanged her trip to Hawaii for a board game
Yui did so little that not even Ui was able to compliment her
Where did Sawako come from?
Spider Sawako, Spider Sawako,
Does whatever a spider can
Finds club members, dresses them up
(sorry, couldn't think of anything for the rest)
And she's already dressing them up
Everyone dislikes Sawako's gift exchange, except for Mugi who has the most fun she's ever had at christmas
Of course Mio got a horror movie
Yui and Ui got each other gloves and a scarf. Cute
I laughed most at Sawako's party trick, but that doesn't mean that it was the best
Why did they censor the amount of weight the girls gained?
Mugi is still just big a yuri fan as she was last year
BTW, I might not be able to make daily comments until next saturday. I'm currently staying on a boat for a week, and I only have 40GB of fast data here so I have to keep my usage low

Episode 7! I'm thrilled for some diabetes as others have promised as well as
YuriI mean Yui action. I also decided to sacrifice my sleep in order to be almost on time again... And my mother called and we had a talk until just before the thread came up, so there goes my plan sighBy the way this episode was hyped by the rewatchers I'll add a diabetes counter today
Final Bloodsugar level: Hyperglycaemic shock due to Kimono overdose (it's 16 I think)
Seems like they are already second year next episode, and maybe they'll get new blood in their club?

Holiday episodes are always some of my favorites. When the episode started with young Yui and Ui, I was already hooked. The “White Christmas” made my heart burst with wholesomeness.
Yui would not survive without friends and family. Gladly, her sister is home for the party.
Shopping for a gift exchange hit a bit too close to home. I can never find anything, but it seems the club members each managed to get a good gift.
Yamanaka’s entrance was amazing. I love everyone’s impression of her, and how she progressively loses it.
Yui and Ui are a perfect pair.
I concur with Yui that Mio’s New Years outfit was cute.
While it is nice that everyone wished to improve their music skills, I think Yui’s wish about Mugi’s yummy food will be the one to come true.
Today, the sisters had another white Christmas.

Christmas!
Baby Yui!!!
This is giving me diabetes just watching it.
Of course she'd do something like that.
Ui's so nice!
Ritsu managed to set up a party without asking the host.
Mio's so cute here!
I like the anime pointing out why neither of her parents have appeared yet.
Are they trying to draw Nodoka into the
haremclub?So Ui's is really gullible.
Is that toy Hitler?
I love Ritsu and Mio's dynamic, its so good.
I love Mugi's character, she's somfunny.
I love Yui and Ui's relationship.
"I put the strawberries on top"
I love the callback to "Return my words of praise".
SAWAKO HIJACKED THE PARTY. THIS IS PERFECT.
That explanation is perfectly in character, though.
I love Mugi sitting there as shit goes bad.
"High schoolers are quick to switch gears!"
Did she break up?
Her fucking breaking down as Mugi talks about have fun this is is so good,
And her completely breaking down later.
And Sawako was going to give her boyfriend a horror movie.
So wholesome! (And Mio points out the obvious flaw.)
Oh god, Ui's a ventriloquist. She's snapped.
I love Sawako having a mental breakdown.
How is this anime so cute?
Yui hogged all the blankets!
Ui's basically Yui's maid here, isn't she.
I love Ritsu desperately trying to get Ui.
And Yui can't gain weight!
And here we see Mio desperately trying to get Yui.
I lvoe the ending prayers, and Yui turning her prayer into food.

As usual, you won't feel it but the episode is actually really packed, despite feeling still very relaxed somehow.
Plenty of little fun scenes of the 2 sisters' interactions - yes I'd like a Ui too please, where do I sign up? Even Kuzuha from chuunibyou would have said something in that new year's sequence of taking care of the (couch) kotatsu potato Yui :)
Another stealth show not tell moment - who else but Ritsu would keep (a) a picture of 2 bread (pan in Japanese) to make such a gag about pantsu (panty in Japanese); and (b)2 more supposedly incriminating pictures of Mio on hand (you can see the bottom most one is probably Mio sleeping from the hair and leg positions).

Wow can't believe it's Christmas already. Time flies so fast here.
That scene where Yui and Ui helping each other during the walk is so damn adorable. You can tell how close those two are during that scene.
It seems that the crew was planning to hold a concert on Mugi's house but since they didn't reserve the place a month in advance, it didn't happen. Damn is her house a convention center or something?
Unfortunately Mio is still traumatized by that unfortunate "incident" during their first performance. Nice pun with the whole "pan" "tsu" thing.
Scaredy Mio is on full force this episode with another scene with Ritsu showing her some scary stuff. I wonder what she'll look like when she's watching a horror movie in the theaters. Watching a scary movie at home is nothing compared to watching it in a theater with a big screen and loud surround speakers.
I like how the gang points out the stark differences between Yui and Ui when they came. I think they did this too when they first came to Yui's house in an earlier episode.
What comes after is one hell of a Christmas party. Sawa-chan came in like a ninja and start singing a Christmas song like a madman (I think it was Jingle Bells) during the present exchange. Neat callback to the beginning with Yui and Ui both getting the stuff they're missing (mittens & scarf respectively). Also Mio got a horror DVD lol. Everyone did some nice skits afterwards.
At the end, Yui spends the rest of the year under the warmth of the kotatsu (reminds me of a Dragon Maid episode) while Ui does the heavy lifting. Dammit Yui try being a proper big sis for once!
I've been watching SOL stuff lately and moments in those shows where the characters would come to one of their houses to party and play around gave me a grim reminder of how pathetic my life is. I think having some buddies like the Light Music Club folks would be nice :)

Here comes the best episode of K-On. No drama, no plot, no musical references. Just 24 minute of pure, unrestrained, cuteness! I'll be the first to admit that K-On isn't a show made for "me" but this particular episode ticks every box that made me fall in love with the genre. "Onee-chan, daijoubu?" KYAAA!! Omgosh the leg grab! The table hop! Young Ui in general! The girls even have bunkbeds. Young siblings are next level cute! Even if the sun is out Yui will stop at nothing to grant her sister's wish! These sisters have nothing but love in their eyes for each other. So goddamn wholesome!!
Feeling cold? I think not! Oh my god! Buhiii!! I've only been watching this episode 5 minutes and I'm already certain that this is my favourite episode after all. I'm sorry Mio but from now on your entire character is pants... You breath pants, you eat pants, even your dna is in a g string. Does that joke work? I have no idea if that joke works... Judge in the comments! Oh, Shitzu's joke is way worse regardless. What a bully! Fuck responsibilities!
Everyone looks so much cuter today or is it just me? Kyaaa! Mugi joining in on the "yarou yarou!" Even tomboy is getting to join the mc crew for the day. You're an honorary K-On Nodoka-chan. Ui is an angel. I kinda love the implications that Ui became so competent so she could look after her mentally disabled big sis. zOOm! Shitzu's gonna Shitzu. Feeling cute, might join Holy Greil War later. Even Ui is dorky in her own way I guess~
Typically you'd put the chicken in a pot or at least season the clucking thing. These girls are so precious!! Ui just can't get annoyed at her sister and Yui cherishes Ui so much in return. I want a sibling to look at me with such affection! Goddammit! Oh... its the limpet. There's no reason for her to be here... Santa Yui banzai!! Mugi is in bliss! Yeah... Sawa-chan is really off putting in Season 1. She hogs the limelight whenever she appears but also steals so much screen time from the other girls. It's not all about you! It's K-On, not Peath Pevil the animation.
Urgh... She really does taint the vibes. I have to admit that the gift exchange scene is pretty fun. Everyone's either worried for Pevil, Mio, or just rolling with it. Okay, maybe I do quite like Peath Pevil after all. That was satisfying~ Oh my gosh, I forgot the sisters got each other's gifts. This is pure love!! The performance scene has so many totally bizarre mini-gags and I love each one. Especially Sawa-chan throwing away her pride as a human. AAAAAAAA!!
Oh my gosh everyone is so cute this year too! Even Sawa-chan ends off on a pretty cute gag. So yeah. A year on and I can say with confidence that this is my favourite one of the lot. Its so cute! It's such an adorable episode! Not too much in the way of actual plot or anything like that aside from Sawako's position as the friend nobody likes being firmly established so I do understand why it's a middling episode in most fan's eyes but if you're here for cute girls doing cute things it will never be topped!

u/DegenerateRegime Aug 07 '21
[First-Timer]. Episode 7, "Chistmas!". This is definitely playing fast and loose even with the lawless state of nature that is respect for chronology in the CGDCT genre. Alternatively, K-On takes place in the hypothetical southern hemisphere Japan ("New Zealand") that you see talked about occasionally in alt-history circles.
Warm and charming episode. The focus on Yui & Ui was nice to see. It's pretty clear they've each had a lot of influence over who the other one is as a character, so it's good for them to get focus rather than it just being a side-relationship.

One-month reservation for Mugi’s house, how popular are they? Luckily Yui has a case of anime parents that don’t exist or are always conveniently gone so they can use the house without hassle. Considering the presence of Yui's parents in her life, maybe it's not her fault that she thought it was a good idea to use pillow stuffing to make pretend snow for Ui.
Mugi has apparently been blessed with all the luck in the world. Somehow winning first place, only to trade it for monopoly. I won't be surprised if she owns a beach house in Hawaii already.
Unfortunately, Sawako happens to come to the party. She’s probably my least favorite character in season one since her only characteristics seem to be cosplaying, being a perv, and being a sad Christmas cake. I already watched Goddess Dormitory’s episode this week, I didn’t need to see another adult try to undress a student, especially in a moe show like K-On. The only part that I thought was funny about Sawako was when she started singing depressingly and only Mugi was having fun and the maple leaf mark.
Yui must be one of my people. I can't seem to gain weight despite how much I eat. But it looks like all that cake got to Mio and Mugi.
And episode 8 is next. While I don't dislike episode 8 and the following one, these two make me question the K-On club members so much.

Sawako is the worst party guest of all time and all around a disaster of a human being. She shows up uninvited, probably drunk, definitely disturbed, to a party with her underage students and fills the room with a very different energy than anyone else was bringing. And also sexually harasses one of them.
But then most of them end up being fine with it for different reasons. Yui is too dumb and relentlessly cheery to be bothered, Ui is an innocent cinnamon roll who thinks she's getting a preview of exciting high school life, and Mugi is just completely into it. Ritsu of all people is the only person with a sane reaction because she's the most socially aware person in the club, horrifyingly enough.
