the instrument-naming K-ON!! episode has finally arrived~

rainy season has arrived and while Yui was having trouble preventing her Gitah from getting wet, she was drenched instead. Incidentally not by tripping over, but due to:

1. kids running across puddles > splashes
2. a dog shaking off water from its fur in front of Yui > all drenched
3. vehicles over puddles > ._. yet again...

In the class, Mugi is apparently feeling uncomfortable about her curly hair due to the increase in humidity and when Yui comes in, Mio and Ritsu were surprised to see her being totally drenched. Yui then carefully places her Gitah down and Mugi helps to dry her hair with her towel. The others then suggests Yui to have a change of clothing to prevent her from catching a cold and goes off to the music room. She not only gets out of her drenched clothes, she even gets to warm herself up after Mugi when to fetch some hot water. Due to the lack of changeable clothes, Yui went into the pig costume they previously had and when Nodoka came in, she somehow could recognise that the one in the pig costume was Yui, which she says she kinda just felt that it was her... In the end, Yui went to class in a maid costume, apparently unacceptable as said by Sawa-chan but before Ritsu finish saying that the costume was made by her, Sawa-chan shuts her up with her deadly glare. Luckily, Nodoka managed to borrow a spare set of gym clothes and let Yui wear it temporary while drying her own uniform. In the music room, Azusa then shows everyone her guitar in a special raincoat and then incidentally reveals to everyone that she is a frequent online shopper. Azusa warns Yui that the fingerboard could become moldy if it gets wet. Seeing that Mio is afraid, Ritsu went to tease her more. Yui checks her Gitah to see if everything's well and Azusa advices her to change her strings, which she did, after taking quite some time talking to Gitah. Azusa coudn't understand why and it somehow led to Yui thinking that Azusa was jealous about Gitah and even Mio sees it as a triangle love. The next day it starts pouring again but this time, Yui had wrapped her Gitah in plastics and multiple tapes which did helped repelling rain but proved to be extremely difficult to unwrap later. Azusa then teaches Yui how to see if the guitar is out of tune due to the bad weather and the possibility of the neck bending and is surprised to see that Yui can tell exactly how off tune a string is without using the tuner at all. The rain then starts to get heavier and Mio decides to leave her bass behind and Yui goes forward and names Mio's bass as Elizabeth and feels sorry for it being left behind. Seeing that Yui had named her own guitar and Mio's bass, Azusa had almost named her own Mustang Muttan. Yui did leave her Gitah behind as well but started to scratch the walls in her room at home, worrying Ui, as she was worried about Gitah being left in school. Yui immediately retrieves her Gitah the next day and even holds it during lessons. Mio sees how worried Yui was and got herself worried too, rushing to the music room afterwards to check on her own bass. Thinking that she was alone, she "accepts" the name of her own bass and calls it Elizabeth, but the others were all at the entrance, and had obviously heard Mio calling out to her own bass.

all in all, i think Mio's bass name was actually the more normal among the others when u compare Elizabeth, Gitah and Muttan, but the others are unique as well. have been waiting to see these scenes being animated with Mio whispering to her own bass: "Elizabeth~" ... did loled when Sawa-chan gave Ritsu a deadly glare to prevent her from revealing that she had the fetish to dress them up and that she had made all those maid costumes and also trying to act very teacher-like when other teachers are around... in this season, there are at least more scenes on the other classmates and not too much centered amongst the five keion girls. and Mio crying to Ritsu that she had scratched her bass in the past but Ritsu doesn't seem to be even able to find the scratch was equally cute :D

and Thousand Enemies is really an awesome song~ love Rain Song and Highest Life too :)
