Curry, then riceHōkago Tī Taimu
The TV anime K-ON!, which began airing in 2009, is a masterpiece that left its mark on Japanese anime history, sparking such a phenomenon that anime fans and teens of the time picked up instruments.
At the same time, because it centers on a high school girls’ band, the series produced many beloved songs that continue to be cherished well into the 2020s.
The song we’re featuring today, Curry Nochi Rice, perfectly encapsulates the essence of Yui Hirasawa, who serves as the main vocalist.
Over a cool track driven by punk rock–style, fast-paced drums, a flashily active bass, a hard-driving guitar, and an organ that takes a star turn, Aki Toyosaki’s irresistibly cute vocals as Yui shine with brilliant contrast.
The lyrics, which cleverly juxtapose curry and a girlish first crush, are superb as well.
