ah btw what ist the song called which was played during the time where they realized that they have no band name? It sounds a bit like Popcorn
Sounded like track 33 on the Original Soundtrack to me. It's called Pinch Daisuki!.
Wait... after school tea time?? O_o
Thats so lame xD
Not as lame as their lyrics, though.
Sounds better in japanese "Houkago Tea Time".
Peace.
hope this ends well:

For those waiting for the CoalGuys version, here it is:
[CoalGuys] K-On! - Episode 12: HD
I am training in the shadows.
Currently playing: All of your games, probably.
Weird to see Yui sing that song in the end, though i would have preferred to see a new song, id say the ending wasnt so bad. Gotta laugh and Ui in this episode.

That was quite an enjoyable not-so-final ep. I can't say that K-ON! ended as high as where it started, or that it finished at its peak. They went for more serious stuff this ep without overdoing moe scenes, but as you'd expect, there isn't terribly much stuff left minus the fluff.
What I really liked about this episode was that it had closure. I'm a sucker for flashback-monologue-finishes because they tie everything up from start to finish so well. Same with Yui announcing that the school performance will be their current Budokan. The song meanwhile, though used, still felt pretty good with them pulling off a previously imperfect performance. (even if it wasn't because of skill).
A very enjoyable series that I'd certainly welcome another season.

I really like how Ui looks so much like Yui with that hair style. Had me fooled as well.

I think it was stupid to make Ui play better than Yui despite having barely touched a guitar. Yui's musical talent was her redeeming factor, something that makes a person admire her despite her many shortcomings. Then we have her perfect sister suddenly come in and play better than her despite having put practically no effort into it. Stupid.
I wish they played Don't say lazy at least once in the series, and I feel very sad that their lead vocalist can't even sing properly (sorry Yui, but it's mainly your seiyuu's fault). I really feel that this final episode is underwhelming.
Peace.

After listening to the tracks on the Character Image Album - Akiyama Mio [Hisaka Yoko], I realized something that had at least been in the back of my mind over the course of the series, but there wasn't any proof to use as a comparison until then.
There is a good reason that Aki Toyosaki (Yui's seiyuu) can't sing properly in the series, and Hisaka Yoko is a much better singer on Don't Say Lazy, Sweet Bitter Beauty Song, and FuwaFuwa Time. On those three tracks, she doesn't sing in character at all. Aki Toyosaki always sings in character when she's the lead singer. Aki Toyosaki sings in character on the FuwaFuwa Time single, but she does not on the Don't Say Lazy single. Yui's seiyuu is the backup singer on those tracks, and she's much better, because it is a purely out-of-character album.
If you listen to Heart Goes Boom!, Hello Little Girl, and 'Let's Go', of Mio's Character Image Album, Hisaka Yoko sings in character during the verses (but not the refrains). They are much weaker songs, Heart Goes Boom! in particular . You can definitely notice when she breaks character and belts out a good line or two. She sings very timid, as one would expect the shy Mio to sing like.
They showed it in the show when she first began to sing FuwaFuwa Time before they went into Perfect Music Video Mode, and at the end when they came out of it and the unpolished version returned. There is an enormous difference when she is singing in character and when she is not.
---------------------------
As for the episode, it was a very Yui heavy episode, so of course I was pleased. The Ui thing didn't really surprise me so much (if there's one genius from that family, there's bound to be another), but for her to play better and that perfectly was a bit much.
I really liked the crayfish flashback scene though. I kept thinking, "WTF does this have to do with Nodoka's point?" and it really only made any sense at all until she explained it. Maybe Yui's influence is spreading.
I agree with you about the Mio singing out of character, thought I can't hear a difference at the end of FuwaFuwa Time since the song actually ends before it gets out of MV mode. The beginning was a easy to make out enough if you pay attention.
The biggest difference was "My Love is a Stapler". It sounded much more authentic, whether it was Mio's voice or the whole performance in general. Did they play with the sound so it sounded like a "live in a hall"? I don't know, but that's still my favourite performance.
At the beginning of "My Love is a Stapler", Mio comments that Yui's playing an exceptionally hard riff perfectly. Perfectly = in rhythm. From that, and all the other scenes we've seen, Yui is definitely playing her parts well. If she hears something and can play it back perfectly (quite a few examples of this), then there's no way Ui can beat that, or would there be much audible difference if she was just marginally "more" perfect.
They could have easily made Ui play a bit worse, and ask if she's sick.. The producers were going for a "wow" factor, and it just rebounded for me.

@Ryll - In that case, I feel very sad that their lead vocalist can't even sing properly (sorry Aki Toyosaki, but it's mainly your character's fault).
I think that even if they went out of character and sang superbly, no one (or very few) would really complain if it is the final episode.
Peace.
I think you all (apparently everyone who posts on this show who's not me) pay far more attention to the minute details of the music than I ever dreamed anyone could or would.
In any case, I thought it was a nice ending, Ui's disguise scene was a pleasant surprise. I certainly didnt' expect her to have the Mystic Fingers of Guitar Perception even stronger than Yui but I think it played into her 'perfect imouto' image. I wonder if we can dare to hope for a season 2...
I was also underwhelmed by this last episode, but I can forgive them since many of the other eps were so much pure win and I don't even care that last one was not that good.
I'd watch it again, even knowing last ep would be not as good as the other ones
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
We can hope, but it'll be a while away if it does come. The special winter episode next week looks like it'll be based off chapter 26, which is the latest scanlated chap available from onemanga.
That concert finale was based on Chap 25.
