K-ON! MP3
Pre-ordered these limited edition K-ON! CD's from Amazon and they just arrived - thought I'd share whats inside.
First up is the "Cagayake! GIRLS" CD - the OP from K-ON!. The first batch are a limited edition which comes with various Jacket covers of the Kei On Bu girls. Available at Amazon and retails for 1,260 yen - get it before its gawn. As far as I know, Amzon ships CD's overseas - as long as its not ero.
Here we see sweetie Hirasawa Yui on lead. The catchy OP below.
And my fave - Akiyama Mio on bass. Mmmmmmm. Feeling hungry now.
Tainaka Ritsu on drums.
Kotobuki Tsumugi (mugi-chan) on keyboard.
And here's the CD which includes another catchy tune called "Happy!? Sorry!!"
And while we're here, a look at another SAPAB (Suddenly Acquired Pantsu and Bra). Retails for 5,000 yen. Sankyu to HobbyLink Japan for the sample. I shall have it with my afternoon tea later on.
The other CD is the limited edition "Don't Say Lazy" - available at Amazon for 1,260 yen - grab it now before drowning in manly tears after its all dawg gawn. The awesome ED below.
Cuuuuuuute! Yui-chan kawaii.
Mio Akiyama. *melts*
Ri-cchan.
Mugi-chan.
The CD comes with an additional track called "Sweet Bitter Beauty Song."
And as for the title of this photo article? No free MP3 here I'm afraid but a load of free traffic from search engines for folks searching for the term "K-ON! MP3" ^^;
Search for the term "K-ON! MP3" in 24 hours time and tell me what you see in Google ^^;
The girls have been getting very friendly with each other of late...
This afternoons Mio Table. Will have a cuppa tea on it in a mo.
So how has K-ON! been living up to your expectations? I rarely see opinions like "Its average" and either see "Best thing since sliced peanut buttered toast" or "toast spread with baboons poo."
Also ordered this LS-Q1.0TL/1D NAS (Network Attached Storage) from Amazon too which arrived with the CD's. Got it for 28,110 yen - 10,740 yen off the retail price ^o^ The box actually arrived like this and was surprised that it didn't come in any other protective box or padding.
To make things worse, it was delivered by Sagawa who are known to throw things and deliver a day late.
Its usually the nice old man at Pelican - great service and goods from Amazon usually arrive the next day.
The NAS comes with a 1TB HDD and has 3 extra bays for an additional 3 TB HDD's. By having a look at the product page you will see that it comes with a ton of features like a web interface, FTP server, DLNA, RAID1, RAID5, RAID10, is compatible with Mac Time Machine network restores, has USB port to enable a network printer and you can also combine 4 drives into a single drive so that it would appear on your network as a 4TB drive for example.
The DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) feature allows me to watch my movies over the network on the PS3 or other portable devices like the iPod Touch.
Before I used to have a few drives attached to a Mac Mini which were shared but if I mounted them on my Mac then every time I open a save dialog then the system hangs waiting for those disks on the Mini to spin up to speed. Also had problems mounting them too.
What sort of backup solutions do you have? Do you use NAS or just external drives? We need NAS to share between everybody in the office.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

i have still yet to get my hands on the wide broadcast so i cannot make a definite yes/no
*sigh* having patience is sure hard......
I have a couple of drives around the house that contain clones of my partitions - i don't really like 'backups' that need to be processed back into a useable format - I like to shove the drive right into the machine and boot straight from it
funny though, Backing up was the main reason i discovered this site many years ago - Search through the archives and im sure it's still there

It's average... LOL! I wasn't really taken by it until episode 3. Yui is shown to be quite an airhead and ditsy, but I found the antics pretty funny. Hope it continues to get better.

Yui really is getting annoying, I'd say average.

So far I watched 3 episode ~ It's just so-so for now, hope it'll get better in the later episodes.
Personally, I think the opening them it's not that good but do kinda' like the ending theme.

I'm a big fan of the DNS series NAS by D-Link. You can get 3rd party plugins that add a lot of functionality to the NAS drive like FTP,HTTP & Print Server, Bittorrent and P2P and even a simple linux shell that can compile your own programs for the NAS. I'm currently using the DNS-323 with 2 1TB disk in there but I'm thinking about upgrading to the DNS-343 and stick 4 2TB disks in there.
Another interesting NAS that I like is the Drobo by Data Robotics. It's ease of use is it's selling point here. You can stick in different size disks and still make it run in various Raid types. Pretty cool IMO.
Head Lackey and Scape Goat
I have a Drobo with 2.5T of space. It's very similar to a RAID system but it doesn't store the data redundantly across all the drives which is why you can use various sized HDs.
Regardless of this fact, if one goes down or you hot swap out the smallest HD, data flow isn't interrupted.
I have mine attached via USB because I don't like anything to slow down my network. Well, that and the fact that the 2 previous routers REALLY hated my old NAS and insisted on crashing in the middle of large data transfers.
Who else prefers the opening song over the ending song? I think the endings becomes quite stale once you take out the animation. On the other hand, the opening is still catchy without the animation. 8D
Funny I feel the exact opposite. I listen to the ED CD much more than the OP one. But to each his own right?
QA Lead
Agree here. I like the OP a bit more than the ED. I usually skip the ED when it comes up ^^;

Heh. Like the misdirect. I was worried you might actually have put the mp3`s up ^^ I have a Nas box but its cheap & slow so most of the time I just use it as offline mass storage.

Oops, forgot to tell about backups.
Im afraid our backup plan at work isnt NAS fancy, we have an unused PC thats just sitting on the network, so we use it for backups, and probably more importantly, Visual Source Safe that saves all our code :P
At home, just got an external thats split into 2 partitions, 1 for Mac Time Machine, and 1 for my Windows backups.

Whoa... it topped google search result if quote is applied, without quote, it'll be like what DeathSnake said... even when i wrote "K On Mp3" without quotes... it returned the same result...
Amazing! just how do you do that?? I know it's that SEO you've been talking about, but i just still can't understand how it worked...
I've tried looking for K-On once, and it didn't even return any relevant page, not even the wikipedia page... I just realized that it'll return the correct result when you take out the dash... but yours works with or without dash....
I still don't understand though, why would you put "Mp3" on the article title?? ^^; Trying to bring in traffic from people who are looking for the songs.. XD lolol.

After seeing those different CD covers, it really makes me want to buy them, but I think I'll hold off. As for a NAS, I'd love a Drobo especially cuz my Macbook only has 2 USB slots and I'd love to free them up and backup wirelessly.
Student
K-On's shaping up to be one of the finest this season, can't wait to see their performance. Will they use original songs or sing songs by other artists?
Student
I still use external drives, I like them because they are not always turned on and connected to a network, so it's safer this way. Of course the bad thing is that I have to manually connect them one a week to make a backup.
I make backups more often than one a week, but those backups are not on the external drives, just on separate drives inside the computers. I have automated setup that does the following: makes a copy from the system drive of computer A and copies it to the computer B's non-system drive and vice-versa.

Regarding K-On: I'm definately in the middle for K-On. I like Mio and the ED, but nothing else has grabbed me.
As far as storage - I've got a Buffalo Terrastation. It's a bit out of date in terms of size - 4 disk raid/5 giving me a total of 500GB. Haven't really noticed any spin-up delays or anything. Apparently upgradable by swapping out the HDs. Only things I don't like about it is 1: it's not hot-swappable, and 2: it's OS is totally incapable of handling japanese filenames. :(
Student
"Regarding K-On: I'm definately in the middle for K-On. I like Mio and the ED, but nothing else has grabbed me."
This exactly.
And Yui is getting to the point where I regret watching the show after it's finished, simply for wasting my time.
As for backups, it's just me, so an external drive works fine.

Nice loot you got there! Love the Mio & Yui covers.

I actually used to use a server with RAID, but since I have a tiny apartment I decided to buy an External HDD with hardware RAID. I am currently using a Western Digital 2TB external RAID HDD. It has 2 1TB drives in it and is a USB 2.0 interface. I have it in RAID 1 for drive mirroring. So far it's been fantastic and much, much smaller than having an entire server around.

I am really into this series. It reminds me of my High School Years with the BHS Band from 1999-2003. Those were some the best and worst years of my life. I like the way I am now, but I miss some of them who are not here with us anymore.
The CD's with the Dolfie's king of remind me of them holding LP's. Vinyl Forever, you have not listened to music until you have heard the crackle of the amp, and the fuzz of the needle. They need to make LP's of this. So I can buy it, and hear the warm sounds of the bass, and guitar.

K-ON! would be the next Lucky Star since its about the life of 4 High School girls . Ritsu is mostly like Haruhi , Mio is totaly like Kagami , Mugi-chan is like Miyuki and finally Yui has the personality of Tsukasa

just pe-order from play-asia, only take limited edition "Don't Say Lazy".. the opening izzint that good to take... got lolita K-ON girls..
Student
http://foxkey.blog126.fc2.com/
Hmm, I might have to invest in a NAS i've got quite a few HDD's lying around and could probably put them to use. I guess it would just make my table look neater with one box instead of multiple.
In my opinion, Don't say 'lazy' is the superior song. Limited edition doesn't seem to add much more, different art and 4 different jacket covers. As for the anime itself, I find it pretty good a different slice of life, but i've seen it compared to other slice of life such as Lucky Star quite alot around the internets. Will have to see how it roll itself out though. I'm sure it will continue it's feel good vibe.
Hah! That article name was just for that sake wasn't it? Sneaky Danny trying to raise your view count so you can feel good about yourself! Well, I guess it will generate more viewers to join the DC community which is always good, more comments and such.
Maybe you should separate those dolls Danny, don't know what they might get up to when you're sleeping.

K-On's been pretty "eh" for me so far. Nothing to get excited about but it's an okay watch.
Thinking of getting my hands on those singles; the limited edition ones looks neat. Of course, their are already rips of both singles out and I've had them on loop since yesterday. As for the series? I LOVE IT! Got hooked with the first episode! :D

Limited edition cds are really nice..like the ones I have bought (Namida no Mukou, trust you from Gundam 00 and etc..) But, the custom charges in the UK is a killer...so I've stopped ordering them...and it's a shame I can't order these when they look really nice >_<!

Uhm, I like K-On!. Compared to the other 4koma from KyoAni feels more enjoyable as a series. I'm crazy about Lucky Star, don't misunderstand, but I can't help thinking about it as a bunch of amazingly hilarious gags, while K-ON! has got a...smoother development. More like a "standard" series. Without being that boring.

They have 2 songs on each disc plus the instrumental version of both songs for a total of 4 each disc. It is just 2 unique songs on each disc if that makes any sense.

I do like the animation and art of K-ON!, but one thing that makes me want to pull my hair out is the animation for the singing scenes. Wish they would have paid more attention to detail there, but. Still a fun show.

anime is sure different from what it used to be.
People nowadays prefer anime that depict reality,I guess even otaku needs a change of pace once in a while.

As for using a NAS, just finished assembling a Home Server using Windows Home Server OS and I must say I am impressed with it. Running on 2GB ram, 2.8ghz Core2Duo and 2 x 1TB drives inside, 2 x 320GB USB drives. I used an old case for it, planning on getting one of those smaller HTPC cases to migrate all the hardware to it. Sadly it doesn't support Mac TimeMachine, yet, maybe with some AddIn later on it will. Not to worry, I have 1 x 320GB USB drive to use as TM backup for my Macbook Pro ^^.
Awesome desk danny.

I like the ED song more than the OP. Not much of a fan of the anime, I gave up after episode 2. But I gotta agree the characters are extremely cute.

The full OP was somewhat a disappointment. On the other hand, the full version of 'Don't say 'lazy'' was awesome!
K-ON! seems to be just slightly above average though. Doesn't have that comedy sense that Lucky Star had.

great job with the pics danny, but to be honest i prefer the OP to the ED. what i do with the drives is just bang them into any system that i got (4) and just run it straight from the drive.

No, sweet stuff. I'm not so hot on the OP, but the ED is one of the few I watch on a regular basis. Love the video, it makes no sense at all... kinda like most recent Electro videos.
I like K-ON! It's light, it's fun, it's low brain power entertainment (which is a good thing)... Mio's probably my favorite part as well ^^; That said though, I think it'll probably be a fad anime: it'll keep us all happy for this season, then something else will be along in a season or two's time to replace it. Basically, I like it but I've not seen anything to really make it stand out from the crowd. I doubt it'll have any longevity of say the GitS set, NGE, FLCL (those shows that everyone knows) or even ARIA, Nadesico or Gunbuster (the shows with a really solid if smaller fanbase).
However, for this season I intend to keep enjoying it :D
As for backing up: I've got a 1TB external that basically serves as my media drive and I back up "important" files to it... ie: drawings, receipts, uni-stuffs and image collections ^^; Uni also gets backed up to a 8GB thumb drive. Got no need for a NAS... yet.

Ive been waiting for these cds for a while I finally found them on some blog.

I've been enjoying K-On! a lot, but it's a mixed bag. The production quality is excellent, and when it does something right it's spectacular. I get giddy just watching the OP and ED. However, I feel that in its attempt to adapt and extend the 4koma material, it really misses the ball about half the time. Some of my favorite punchlines and events in the manga are glossed over or fall flat. I don't think it's as spectacular as I'd hoped, but it's still quite good. Mio helps. I'm an unabashed Mio fanboy, although I hesitate to express it since she seems so popular in the community at large for all the wrong reasons.
All the key leading staff all seem to be female! That's really interesting to me, and it's one of the reasons I watched the show. I can definitely recognize their touches that I've noticed in other Kyoani series.
As for the CDs... I downloaded them with glee, but I'm somewhat disappointed. These are prime examples of inferior mixing and mastering going into the CD release. I see what they were attempting, but I feel it ultimately failed and resulted in a poor quality release. It also feels like the one minute and thirty seconds of each song was the focus. Everything else about the longer release feels very tacked on and inferior (The B tracks don't seem to suffer from that malady, though).
I ultimately used the primary cover as the album art in my mp3s, but I'm still very, very tempted to use the Mio only version.
Otaku ^^
Try to download the Full Version or get the CD Singles. OP/ED version usually are edits for the show. I do enjoy the Full Version oppose to the OP/ED version. They pack more energy and feeling on every single second of the tracks. You can feel the mood from the songs.
Cagayake! GIRLS = 4:10
Don't say "lazy" = 4:24
d@@b
Going to buy those 2 CDs after I lurk more and find a good site to buy off of.
Anyway I think I'm unlike the majority and like the OP more then the ED...
NAS doesn't really appeal to me because I can't make good use of it. I do download a lot of stuffs, so I use a E-SATA hard drive dock which serves my needs perfectly.

I didn't think I would like K-ON! from reading descriptions of it but checked it out after hearing so many people rave about it. Watched the first three episodes last weekend and really enjoyed it. The girls are all real cute but I think I like Ritsu the most. Yui might get annoying after a while though.
Saber looks great in that bra and panty set. I had looked at them on HLJ before but didn't think they looked great. Will reconsider my opinion. The pose is great as well. May pose my girls similarly tonight.

That Buffalo NAS looks nice! ^^
Currently I just use USB connected external hard drives for backup purposes.
I'd like to eventually have a nice NAS, but as I'm currently using a mix of Linux and Windows on my computers I'm not sure yet what NAS to pick to have it easy to use it on both. Plus I'd like one at a competitive price that is very quiet, still has sufficient cooling and holds enough discs so I can use Raid 5.
Haven't spotted any yet that didn't have one or the other drawback.
Maybe if I switch to Mac one day? But I need to keep in touch with Windows for work...
I enjoy watching K-ON!, but I'd say it's only the third best show of the season, with Full Metal Alchemist and Phantom being the best so far, but it's still early.
It seems Mio gets all the love, but she just reminds me of a younger Yomi from Ga Rei Zero when I look at her, so it just find myself thinking about Yomi and Kagura all the time. Anyway, I like Ritsu the most. Her personality and actions are just too cute, especially episode 3. While the show doesn't have much to offer in any deep sense, it is still very fun to watch.

I have never been able to grab singles from shows, the only store around here that used to have them, decided to stop stocking any the day I went to buy a bunch. I haven't seen k-on yet, some people here don't like it, one said it was interesting for the first episode. My watch list is so backed up though I don't know how long it will take to get to this one.
Also, very clever with the K-On MP3 there, you are, currently 2nd when you search it on google? Currently beat out by some software company that doesn't look like it has anything to do with K-on.

I've only watched the first episode, but so far I'm just not feeling it. ^^; I mean, it's not bad, but I'm definitely pretty far from loving it. I do adore that ending song though and will likely download it sometime this weekend.
As for backups, I just have an external hard drive named Steve. My back up needs aren't exactly elaborate, so my backup system's not terribly complicated either.

I'm liking the series so far. I think the characters balance each other out pretty well.
I had a 500 external drive for storage but it met with an unfortunate accident... Now I'm down to my 80 gig mini external and my 8 gig thumbdrive.

The CD seems kind of expensive for a single. Last I checked (and it's been a while) that's about the price of a regular CD although I suppose it's limited edition. I already have the MP3s though.

Haven't watched K-ON! yet since I always get the whole season before watching. This is true nomatter the source so it's nice to have a big HD connected to the TV-tuner. The reason is that I want to have the next episode right away when I watch it so watching is controlled by my time and not air time.
Now I start to have 2nd thoughts about collecting K-ON. The reason is that it's a lot about music and now I heard the music. It's horrible D:
Basically it's the kind of music that makes me not only ditch a radio program, but a whole radio channel.
Is the anime really full of music like this?

I *really* like K-ON! for it's characters, but I'm hoping that it gets more exciting in future episodes.
Nice CDs, though---the ED is my favourite (especially the animation/idea).
the ED song is great. normally i don't like anime songs, but i listened to that one about 50 times already since it came out. mio is pure win.

I think K-On! has been meeting my expectations so far. The OP and ED got stuck in my head after episode 3.^^
But for those who wants the MP3, you can just download it from gen- *gets tackled by Mirai*.

Ya, I'm thinking of getting a 1T HD for all my music... at this time it's all on DVD discs and I have to consult my cataloging software then go dig one up to listen to something.
as far as K-On not really liking the anime although I will still watch some more to give it a chance, but I do like the OP & ED.

For sharing files I have a file server set up. I can SSH into from the Internet and I can share files between my PS3, 360 and PC's. For backups I have a 2 TB HP Media Vault NAS.

Not a masterpiece but it sure is pretty entertaining. Though what I relly like about this series is the OP/ED - especially the ED and the animation for it.

Its absolutely unbelievable that some people are buying up to 11 copies of the same cd...not surprising it has reached first place on the charts.

Nice looking CDs. I think the theme song is catchy and upbeat. It's an okay anime so far. Can't wait to watch more.

The ending and eponing are both good, but i prefer the ending. I have allready seen the first 4 episodes, can't wait for next weeks relase.

i buy this cd in comic toranoana.
its fantastic

Manage to download [Cagayake! GIRLS] and [Don't say "lazy"] tracks. After listening to both of them, [Don't say "lazy"] is my favorite. I'll try to get the singles from HMV or any anime/music carrying stores.
Of all the four member of the "Light Music Club", my favorite is Tsumugi and Mio. ^^
Manage to watch four episode of K-ON on the web. Very entertaining series. To bad there are no practice jamming session yet.
BTW, is "Sakurakou K-ON Bu" a real band or a virtual band for K-ON series? I manage to find out the vocals for the group. (Aki Toyasaki / Youko Hisaka / Satomi Satou / Minako Kotobuki)

Extras:
1x 1TB SataII Int (Still RAW)
2x 60Gb Pata Int
I wanted to try building a NAS network for my computers to share all my HDDs except for the internals HDDs. I was planning to swap my PC 160Gb with my extra 1Tb and make my 320Gb as my bootdisk and apps while all manual game installations on the 1Tb.
I think my Pata HDDs will go to the museum, but will extract all the data before putting them to cold storage.

At this point I don´t have any backup. It just lies on my HDDs, 3TB worth of storage space :)
Have a external drive that I was going to use for OS backups, but I haven´t gotten around making a backup yet.
But having one of those would be nice. Would make things easier as well. But I don´t think that it converts the files into a format that I could play on my PS3 right?
For backup and such I do think it would be nice.
Nice photos of the CDs, makes me want to buy them.
