K-ON! has long been notorious for selling large numbers of musical instruments to fans, which naturally go unplayed, but in this rather extreme case the otaku seems to have assembled instruments for the entire band, as well as headphones, a Mac and much else…
“Please stop me!” he begs, though it seems 2ch is unlikely to be of much assistance.
With fans like this, it seems little wonder that the likes of Endless Eight can sell 14,000 copies…

I hate this ppl buying an instrument and not playing it is like buying an eroge and not playing it just looking at the cover @_@.
Even if he can buy all that, he's still missing the most important part of the collection....
Unless of course he kidnaps all the seiyuu...but that's just not the same. T.T
Oh, yeah...Eroge...I totally forgot to mention I would even spend my money on eroge XD
I've never played one before but have the urge to try it^^
( Once I was so bored that I even came up with a plot for an erogame XD - I guess that was the time I had no internet for a week!! O_O')
this is madness. I wish I could buy my musical equipment easily like this guy!
what's the point on having a lefty bass if you're not lefty [or regular guitars if you are lefty!!!!]
and even a mac, lol
K-On! rocks
Well at least he should now buy lessons to learn how to play this stuff.
Playing a guitar is just a little more harder then jerking off.
I bought myself a Vox amp partially because they used one in an episode. It's actually a good amp, so I have no complaints.I really want that guy's Mustang though.
Did they? Which episode was it? I only remember seeing Fenders and Marshall amps.
WHAT THE FUCK DUDE? GIVE ME THE DRUMS, YOU DO NOT DESERVE IT!!! I WANT A DRUMSET!!!!!!!!
Holy shat those guitars if they are authentic are worth over or around $5,000. If he plays its no biggie.
The guy is loaded - check out that chair - It's a Herman Miller Chair, only people with excessive amount of money buy shit like that.
wtf is going on here.
If you don't have the tea sets, you're nothing.
At least he didn't buy Mugi's Korg Triton. That has to be the most expensive keyboard I've ever seen!
Imma let you finish but Kurzweil has the most expensive keyboards of all time. The most expensive of ALL TIME!
So.........is he going to use those instruments or what?
Buuuu!! He should at least buy Yui's "How To Play Guitar" book and start practicing them.
I can help this guy if he wants to give his instruments to me for free
no shima bowl? fail...
What? No drums?? You can't stop until you have drums!! >:o Haha!
mwahah!! He does not have all k-on CDs!
I have one which he doesnt! :D
Idiot. Well, if he wants to waste his money it's his business.
I've seen K-on to the end, and think it's pretty damn SHITTY anime, not even worth to watch it EVER again.
Agree
First of all :
Girl on the net...
I have a boyfriend...
And he paid me once a coke...( I wanted to pay for it myself but he invited me )
So no, a relationship/having a girlfriend/wife not neccessarly means you have to pay for the girl...
And seriously...
1. Do not marry or
2. Sign a fu*ing marriage settlement with her...
Jeesh, some guys can whine like little girls...
If I would have the spare money I would buy lots of merchandise myself...*__*
( Yamashita Shunya figurines are my weak point T T ) I even have a saying that "Until the day I buy my very first loli figurine with removable panties, I am to be considered as a harmless otaku" ^^U
Just thinking of those figurines makes me wanna cryyy!!*goes back to draw hot girls and lolis*...
lets date XD
Pre-nuptial agreements are not legally recognised in many countries so it is not quite as simple as that.
Yes Artefact. A shame to see so many people who thinks United States laws apply for all the world. Myabe too much game consoles and too little reading?
You said it. The ralationship based on money is not even worth having.
Just WHAT THE FUCK is so great about K-On anyway????
people have an innate attraction to musicians. and if they happen to be moe schoolgirls? :) that's just me.
No drums = fail.
Someone tell the guy he must stop eating for a couple of months so he can get those drums and keyboard.
I love 2d girls in animes but i dont like animes which try too hard to impress the moe fans. k-on. pfft.
Some people go over with their hobbies, I just can't understand people that do this sort of stuff.
Admittedly I'm not a lot better than this otaku
I have started learning guitar because of K-On! and have spent over a thousand dollar buying Mio's Headphone the AKG701, her Herman & Miller Aeron Chair, Yui's guitar, Azu-nyan's tuner and God knows what else...
>____<
Wow what a faggot
For what all that cost, he probably could have just bought a teenage girl and had her dress up as a K-On character...
This guy... Is drowning in red ink. My Thunderbird damn near broke me.
YEAH! HOW RICH ARE JAPANESE NEETS?!
i started playing electric guitar after seeing S1 of K-on bah... when i boughted Cherry (my Memphis Les paul Cherry Sunburst) the 1 season continued to issue
If they sell them! Be sure to be legendary ONE!!!
Nice music set!
Would love to own (and play!) the Le Paul guitar but it costs $2300 USD!
Some day... maybe...
So so..rich
I do hope they give those gear to people who actually play.
I'd kill for an LP.
I wasted my time and money trying to learn how to play guitar.
But luckily my ADD ticked in and I got bored, imagine what would have been of me learning how to play all the instruments and going poor.
i want the bass. and no, not cos im an otaku. because im a left handed bassist that happens to like K-ON!
xD
He's still missing the amp setups the girls used for their live performances.
I checked the prices, they costs from around $5k until as much as $12k, depends the release year.
Now, if you think that is a LOT money, then my friend, you are fucking poor, so go get a real job! I spend over $20k each 2~3 years ONLY on my PC, and to me that is fucking normal.
I even plan to burn $200k (or more) only on my Home Theater in near future.
Btw, I can get free 15yo (or less) here for FREE, and yes, they are HOT. But I'm a very calm guy, so I don't need that much. Thanks God there are always Tenga for emergencies.
"Btw, I can get free 15yo (or less) here for FREE"
Correction (sorry was watching TV while writing this shit), I meant:
Btw, I can get 15yo girls (or less) here for FREE
Yes, if you are a douchebag or a jerk, girls love jerks.
Otaku and their gods...Guess I'm not an otaku yet, never spend that much for a silly idol, not that I'm having that much cash though.
sometimes i wish i was really really rich
Poor okatu, I spend some of my money on anime goods, but nothing to that extent.
But to the prior discussion, woman can definitely more expensive then anime (last one took just about everything I had - even my poor cat) Been single for a couple years now, never had so much money.
F*CK buddies FOR THE WIN!!
where is the edit button....can be more expensive*
On the forums, for 1 hour after you posted the comment...
At least he's not experiencing an endless recursion of time.
ho kill him please
omg windows on a mac kill him instantanely please!!!!!
How many VNs have been released on Mac?
Exactly.
VERY good point I think.
I...I....need a Les Paul!
Heck i want the Fender Mustang
Uh. There are 12 CD albums out, yet I see 21. Limited and normal editions?
That guy bought a damn Gibson and didn't even use it? What blasphemy is this I don't even
Those guitars and bass are just gonna sit there collecting dust. Unless the dude knows how to play.
Where did he got the money to buy all this stuff? Did he even play the instruments?
Highly doubt it
Shit, I'm a pretty pathetic person, but I've never spent much(or anything at all in recent years) on animu merchandise. I wonder if it's something to do with it being in your native language/culture that drives their neckbeards to do such things.
Spending money on direct anime merchandise is fine, but to be spending this huge amount of money on things that were just featured in an anime for know no more then five seconds is just plain ridiculous.
Indeed. Unless he wants to play all of that, it's just pure retardness.
Cool room. But doesn't the design on the wardrobe doors look a bit fem? Is this a fellow female otaku?! OAO >w<
anon there... havent seen enuf otaku rooms? many otakus have very clean and cool rooms D; also seen that quite many otakus have very new big tv's and expensive sofas etc... idk where they get moneys... cant be coz *they dont have woman* or so on. since seen alot otakus with girlfriends and so on. otaku + otaku > perfect match :D
once met this couple which did live in quite big house. both had own room for figures etc :D
marry me ayu jochuu ;3
Otaku often live with their parents. Imagine if all the money you had to spend on bills and mortgages were disposable income and you had an obsession with buying things to 'prove your loyalty' to a character or series. This is your answer to why they have so much money.
that bastard! I want those guitars, and not just because i like the show.
You like to play music? Then muy friend, you are...
A FAGGOT.
I would like to buy a Gibson, only to burn it and post the video on youtube ;)
Okay, there's trolling and then there's TROLLING, but that doesn't even make sense.
I can think of quite a few musicians who got into it for the heterosexual relations... many of whom probably never should have.
Kevin Federline? Agreed, and agreed *hard*. But... I like Motley Crue. :o
KISS was proof of individuals who went into the business for the pussy, and actually WON.
Gene Simmons: the epitome of a rockstar douchebag/jerk.
And also a greedy jew during daytime!
Anon 06:20: correction Gene Simmons NEVER legally married to her "girlfriend" she is not, will never be his "wife"; so in the end he inflicted some degree of humiliation for the LULZ.
Miroku74: Gene Simmons "real" TV show is just shit, as all the other "real" TV shows are.
KISS was never, EVER in it for pussy. Gene Simmons has been about money from day one. Pussy was a side-benefit that follows money but the sole reason for KISS's existence is money. As for winning, if you define becoming so sad that you have to hire roadies to dress up like members who quit as winning, then I'll stick with losing thanks. KISS is a laughing stock and while they were once great, all they're doing now is cashing in on their stupid fans (kind of like Suzimiya Haruhi). BTW, ever watch Simmons reality show....that guy is the most pussy-whipped dude ever....his wife runs his life. If he got into all this for pussy, he got OWNED because in the end, he takes orders from pussy.
Well, I've never heard of, much less watched Gene Simmons's reality show. Should I? o_0
Kevin Federline springs to mind. And Motley Crue.
You mean like... Elthon John?
I wanna spectate when you walk up to the 300 pounds-plus gangster/rapper and tell him, "My friend, you are A FAGGOT."
hahaha, brilliant answer, make me laugh at the idea of being ass raped.
hahahaha, I'm really, really laughting at that idea. Congrats, you totally powned me!
you should learn to spell the word "my" before you start insulting people dipshit second anon. this comment box has a built in spell checker.
Ah, but that's a FireFox addon. I have it, but configured to another language (my native one, by request of my brother).
when you misspell a word a red line appears under it
Fail to see the built in spell checker.
Ah ain't it so easy to say "faggot" to someone in the intraweb especially when your anonymous.
Why so curious, got aroused?
At least it makes the instrument merchants richer.
Like why.. will he even play on those instruments? I would love to have that Jaguar.
Jaguar or Mustang?
Either way, it makes me cry to know none of those instruments will be loved...
Like why.. will he even play on those instruments? I would love to have that Fender Jaguar.
thats a fender mustang I think
yep you failed thats a mustang
Oh right, didn't look that carefully. Well then he can keep it :P
that's so sad
Y'know what the worst part is?
They buy that fucking awesome Les Paul (middle one) and don't even know how to play it o.o
I'd kill to have those guitars
I hear ya, Anon 21:42.
I would kill to have that Les Paul. What a beautiful guitar... It deserves to be played!
2nded. Guitars like these are not meant to be for rabid otakus that buys them just to emulate their 2D idols. They are meant to be loved, played and to produce music (and not to mention pick up girls occasionally :p)
