[teddymeow]

Me am massive K-On! fan so this is pre-ordered already!!

With the pressing of some buttons and d-pad, 「K-ON! After School Live!!」 will allow the player to participate with the band members of Houkago Tea Time in their live jamming session. Be ready to create combos with either Yui on lead guitar, Mio on bass, Tsumugi on keyboard, Ritsu on drums, or Azusa on rhythm guitar. The game does include cooperative gameplay, up to 5 players, with the aid of ad-hoc mode.

The K-ON! PSP rhythm game is slated for release September 30th ? priced at 6,090 JPY (~$68). Please check out the first trailer to come out below.

EDIT: It's al about playing bass with Mio!

brilliant, this is so bought!

Never heard of the anime but after watching the vid it looks like a fun rhythm game, hmm 3 psp games bought in a year it could be a record LOL.

Very tempted to pick it up.

K-On! is amazing. A really fun show.

A useless fact for you. The music store where the girls buy Yui her guitar is based on a real music store in Kyoto. My Japanese teachers father works there!! Cool!!

I'll have to go look for the fansubbed anime then & give it a whirl i have been looking for another show to fill the huge gap that Kimi Ni Todoke has left.

Hey, we like useless facts on here, you can never have too many

I'm not too sure a game like this will have a decently sized tracklist. From what I've seen of K-ON! there really isn't much emphesis on music. Generally, it's just a scenario case of the characters going on about practicing followed by scenes that stray from that.

Good for the fans though.

It could include songs from the second season which is currently airing in Japan. He'll, it's worth the money for 5-player Cagayake Girls, Don't Say Lazy and Tsubasa wo Kudasai.

There'll be a fair few songs I'm sure. I'd buy it just for the above but there's also Fuwa Fuwa Time, Maddy Candy, Love, Go Go Maniacs, Utauyo!! Miracle, No Thank You.

Then there's the 5 character singles which they could include too.

It'll be great!!

Sorry to resurrect an ancient thread but did anyone ever pick this up? Just wondered if it was any good and how playable it was for a non-Japanese speaker.

I did try to find a first play thread but the search engine doesn't like "K-On" for some reason.

[teddymeow]

I bought it. All the language was hiragana so not too tricky to figure out.

Was bloody good fun.

[BearBoy]

Cheers teddymeow. Have ordered a copy so I'll find out soon enough whether I'll actually be able to play it. Looked good fun from the trailer videos I've seen.
