Another great music from K-ON!! My favorite song from their repertoire, Brush and Ballpoint Pen is having it's remix. An acoustic version of the YuiAzu duo. This episode is all about the finals week. Everybody is so busy with the upcoming exams that even the K-ON girls don't have the time to practice since they still need to study for the exams. Yui is also getting serious about her studies after writing in her career paper that she will now do her best. Surprisingly, she now tries her best to study and burn the midnight oil in doing her assignments and school work. We also get to meet an elderly lady that lives near Yui's house. She always take care of them ever since they are kids. She even gave Yui a bowl of sugar after being asked by Ui to buy a bottle of soy sauce. (Well, it was Yui's poor memory at fault for mistaking sugar from soy sauce.) But anyway, the point is the old lady is always willing to help Yui and Ui in times of dire need. One day, the old lady invited Yui to join in a talent show. Seeing that the date of the talent show will also be the day of after their finals, she cannot simply refuse the invitation. She accepted it and swore that she will manage her schedule for studying and practicing. Ritsu and everyone else cannot help her since they will also study and besides, Yui said that she wants to return the favor to the old lady, so she wants to it by herself. Yui will perform solo with Gitah. When one day she is practicing, Azu-nyan saw her and after hearing the story behind, she decided to join Yui in the competition. Since Azu-nyan studies in advance, she can manage with the practices. Azu-nyan also took the liberty of creating Yui's schedule so that she can study and practice at the same time. They met the next day to decide on what song to sing. Since they will be facing old audiences, they thought of singing Fuwa Fuwa Time in enka version. They try singing it but it is impossible since Azu-nyan cannot do enka. They also decided for their group name since they cannot use After School Tea Time. After Yui's weird suggestions, Azu-nyan thought of the name, YuiAzu. The day of the exam passed and so the talent show day came. In the performance, they sang a new version of Brush and Ballpoint Pen and to make it more entertaining, they also added a comedic skit before the song. Though the episode didn't feature the whole version of the song. Below is the clip from the episode: <object height="385" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZuFsFcba0HA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0xcc2550&amp;color2=0xe87a9f"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZuFsFcba0HA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0xcc2550&amp;color2=0xe87a9f" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> At the end of the competition, Yui didn't win and just got participation gifts. Even so, the old lady appreciated it and commended Yui for being mature. And for the exam results, Yui passed with high grades. Lucky her!!
