I am a new member. Thank you for accepting me into Lefty Bassist.

K-On! Let's Go! concert, Yokohama, 30th December 2009.

The women are the seiyuu (voice actresses) for the anime K-On! in their roles as Hokago Tea Time band.

The song is basic although pleasant in a bubblegum sort of way and the level of musicianship not very good. What is interesting is that they had never played a musical instrument until a month or two before the concert which was held as their way of saying farewell to their fans at the conclusion of the series. So. Each actress had to take a crash course. For only a small portion of the concert, there was a backing band behind a scrim for the solo songs. Otherwise, everything was live; performed by the women. No pre-recorded soundtrack.

There were several costume changes keeping in line with the characters which accounts for the strange outfits. The lengthy discussion before the song begins is a reenactment from an episode from the show.

Hikasa Yoko portrays the character Akiyama Mio on bass. Yoko is right-handed.

Significant moments 2:55 through 7:21.
