Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

"Waaaaah, Guangda, why do you have to make me suffer again on my second day at work...?"

"Having just been ripped off by 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' and 'Digimon Adventure,' are they going after 'K-On!' too?"

"Graduation... I hate it the most! My light music club! My youth!!"

"Please, just give me a quick death! Aren't my tears worth anything?!"

"They're handing out knives right after we start work, Land of Light, you really know how to make a good start to the year... (crying at her workstation)"

Yang Qian was completely bewildered as she looked at the flood of tearful messages pouring in from the backstage and Weibo private messages.

knife?

today?

No, right?

A new animation.

"Xiao Ran." He looked up at Su Xiao Ran, who was organizing documents, "Have we released any new angst-themed animations recently?"

Su Xiaoran tilted her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head firmly, "No, Director Yang."

"Today's release dates are for 'Taro' and 'The Adventures of Chenglong,' both of which are promotional material and haven't officially aired yet."

She paused, then suddenly remembered something, picked up the tablet and glanced at it.

"Oh, right, today is the final episode of K-On!, and I haven't watched it yet."

Yang Qian suddenly realized.

No wonder the audience said they felt like they were being stabbed in the back.

For many viewers who were immersed in that warm, everyday world.

Graduation and parting are the gentlest of farewells.

Since its premiere, K-On! has captivated countless viewers with its unique, lighthearted, everyday style.

There are no dramatic, tragic storylines, and no life-or-death competitions.

There were only a few girls in the club activity room after school, drinking black tea, eating cake, playing guitar, and chatting.

However, it is precisely this seemingly mundane daily life that strikes a chord with countless viewers' imaginations and nostalgia for a beautiful youth.

"The everyday moments of girls being all lovey-dovey are just so beautiful! I really want to jump into the screen and join the light music club, even if it's just to help them eat snacks!"

"Azusa-nyan! Mommy's sweet daughter! Stay cute forever!"

"Seriously, why is my Daxia High School filled with endless 'Five-Year College Entrance Exam, Three-Year Simulation' exercises and never enough sleep? I want a club like the Light Music Club too! (So envious!)"

"Because the setting is in the Sakura Province Special Administrative Region, the education systems on both sides are indeed different (doge)."

"But actually, the high school I attended at Daxia had a music club similar to a light music club (attached a photo of the band rehearsing after school), it just wasn't as dreamy as in the anime."

"Holy crap! These are interior photos of a top private high school in Great Xia, aren't they? It's like I've accidentally wandered into the royal palace!"

"Hirasawa Yui's black pantyhose... ouch... those lines... that texture... PrPrPr (reason gradually disappears)"

"Please, members of the Foot Fetish Forum, stop this! There are minors here!"

Besides the heartwarming daily life scenes, what viewers love most about K-On! is the series of high-quality songs.

The energetic opening of "Cagayake!GIRLS";

The cool ending credits of "Don't say 'lazy'";

The addictive and brainwashing effect of "Light and Fleeting Time" (Slippery Egg);

The sweet and innocent charm of "My Love Is Like a Stapler";

The dynamic energy of "GO! GO! MANIAC";

The clarity and brightness of "Listen!"

The cheerful and exciting "Utauyo!! MIRACLE";

The playful and adorable nature of "NO, Thank You!"

Each song easily surpasses ten million plays.

The number of digital single downloads also surpassed one million long ago.

Today, with the airing of the final episode, a new song destined to become a "graduation season anthem" has quietly been released.

K-On! final episode: Graduation Ceremony!

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Sakuragaoka High School held its new graduation ceremony.

The four high school seniors in the light music department are Yui Hirasawa, Mio Akiyama, Ritsu Takai, and Tsumugi Kotobuki.

The four are about to leave their club activity room, bid farewell to their familiar campus, and embark on a new stage in their lives.

During the final club activities, the atmosphere was no longer as relaxed and lively as usual.

Azusa, who grew up being cared for by four senior students, lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly.

She tried hard to hold back her tears, but they still rolled down in large drops.

"sorry……"

Zimiao's voice was clearly choked with sobs, and she looked up, her face already covered in tears.

"I originally wanted to say goodbye with a smile..."

Hirasawa Yui walked up to her, her face showing an unprecedented tenderness.

She took out a photograph.

It was a group photo of the four of us taken when we were in our first year of high school, right after the Light Music Club was reorganized.

"This is for Azusa."

Wei gently placed the photo in Azusa's hand, saying, "I specially added Azusa-nyan's photo."

"And this five-petaled flower."

Akiyama Mio took a deep breath. "Azusa, there's a song... I hope you can listen to it."

Tainaka Ritsu exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Even Mio..."

Hirasawa Yui laughed and replied, "This song was specially written for Azusa-chan!"

Kotobuki Tsumugi pouted, feigning displeasure: "Yui, that line is mine!"

The music is ringing.

There was no glamorous stage, no dazzling lights.

In this activity room filled with memories, four senior students picked up their instruments and played this farewell song for their beloved juniors.

Encountering Angels

【

If you want to recall fragments

Give it a name and keep it as a keepsake

Calling it a "treasure" would be quite appropriate, wouldn't it?

……

But then she met a beautiful angel.

Graduation is not the end

We'll still be friends from now on.

...]

As the song played, images flashed by one by one.

The famous "blue and white bowl" scene where Mio fell and died;

Ritsu and Tsumugi's antics in various activities;

Azumi's shyness and determination when she joined;

Countless tea parties after school;

A performance with all their might at the school festival;

The laughter and embarrassing moments during the training camp...

【

……

The station platform, the walkway along the riverbank

Even if we go our separate ways, we will still look up at the same sky.

Let's sing together!

But then she met a beautiful angel.

Graduation is not the end

We'll still be friends from now on.

That "I like it the most" was replaced by "I like it the most, the most."

I have no regrets now.

We will always be together.

】

The song falls

Azusa clapped her hands vigorously, "Not very exciting!"

"well?"

The four female students were taken aback.

Azusa looked at them, her smile growing even brighter: "But... I want to hear more!"

"One more!"

Yui Hirasawa paused for a moment, then said, "Then, Azusa-nyan, let's join in next!"

"Okay!"

The familiar intro to "Light and Fleeting Time" begins again.

This time, it was a five-person ensemble.

K-On! has officially ended.

Countless viewers were already teary-eyed watching the video.

"Graduation should be a happy occasion, so why did I cry like an idiot..."

"Waaaah... It's only been two seasons, but why do I feel like I've been with them for the entire three years of high school..."

"Guangda! Why can't K-On! last longer?! I have money! I'm willing to pay any amount! I want the K-On! club to never graduate!!"

"Exactly! Those bloated and trashy web dramas in the Chinese entertainment industry can have over a hundred episodes, so why is 'K-On!' so short! I don't accept this!"

"Only Azusa is left guarding the activity room. What should she do? Should I go in and keep her company? (The situation is becoming increasingly dangerous)"

"Turn on the power directly!"

"Although my high school years were filled with exams and pressure, every time I watch K-On!, I feel like my soul is healed, as if I also had such a sparkling daily life."

Fun fact: The five members of K-On! are based on real people! They're the same [HTT] who appeared at the Land of Light Comic Con! And they're actually still in high school! It's said that the Land of Light was created based on them!

"Suddenly, I feel like I've come back to life! The voice actresses are still here! The music is still here! Their friendship is still here!"

Yang Qian browsed through the comments section filled with lamentations and expressions of emotion, then smiled and shook her head.

end?

From the perspective of the main storyline, yes.

But who says... that's the end?

Attentive viewers may have noticed that the final rating did not immediately pop up on the Starlight Video's "K-On!" special page.

Because there are still three unreleased spin-off episodes.

Clearly, most viewers who are still immersed in the sadness of graduation haven't noticed this Easter egg yet.

"Xiaoran."

Yang Qian instructed, "Contact the voice actor teams for K-On! and LoveLive!"

"Inform them that the Land of Light plans to hold a special music show, FES, during this summer vacation."

Since there are more and more musical works and virtual/voice actor idols under the flag of the Kingdom of Light.

It's time for these girls who carry dreams to step onto a wider stage.

"By the way, Director Yang."

Su Xiaoran flipped through her schedule memo.

"Singer Ado and animation director Makoto Shinkai have both confirmed their schedules and will arrive in City A tomorrow."

"Would you like me to arrange a meeting time for you?"

"Okay, let's schedule it for tomorrow afternoon."

Yang Qian nodded.

He really didn't expect Wu Dashan to be so good at producing talented people.

Is this what the older generation's connections are all about?

That's truly... terrifying.

"Okay, and one more thing..."

Su Xiaoran glanced at the schedule and paused slightly.

"Director Yang, it seems you have a class reunion tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Qian raised an eyebrow slightly.

A class reunion?

He had no interest in such social activities and had planned to decline them long ago.

But when he casually glanced at the rough list sent by the initiator, one name made him change his mind.

Cranes dance with cuttlefish.

This ID...

Or rather, he vaguely remembered this pen name.

interesting.

"understood."

Yang Qian replied, "I'll leave work early tonight."

"clear."

Su Xiaoran calmly agreed.

But a small flame suddenly ignited in his heart, and his eyes brightened a bit.

Here it comes!

Yang Qian, a domineering CEO and genius animation director, is about to attend an ordinary class reunion.

As is typical in classic storylines, there will inevitably be some clueless old classmates who will put on a show of traditional skills.

Then, Director Yang casually and unintentionally revealed his identity as the boss of the Kingdom of Light, the creator of many phenomenal works, and an industry legend, completing a low-key, luxurious, and meaningful slap in the face!

With the God of Joy above, just imagining that scene made Su Xiaoran's anticipation reach its peak.

Of course, as a professional assistant, she would only keep this expectation deep in her heart.

In addition, she had to prepare small props for Director Yang that might be needed to embarrass him.

Inside the office, Yang Qian was completely unaware of her assistant's inner thoughts.

He checked the time and tidied up his desk.

A class reunion...

It would be good to go see my old classmates.

By the way, let's see what kind of person this "Crane Dancing with Inkfish" really is.
