The OP and ED for Mio oppai anime K-ON! were recently released as singles, and to no one’s surprise both have proved hits, coming in at third and fourth in the national Oricon charts. Both also seized the top two positions on Amazon’s rankings.
The ED tune, Don’t Say “Lazy”, came in at number three, whilst the OP song “Cagayake! GIRLS” took fourth place.
As you can see from the above image, with one otaku alone buying no less than 11 copies, we must wonder how much of this success is due to musical value and how much to canny marketing on the publisher’s part, though admittedly in the case of otaku it is more akin to shooting fish in a barrel…
You can pick up the CDs here and here. Anyone buying more than 11 is invited to post pictures on the forums.

One of these days ill be 9000+ of something and force Artefact to write a article about me, and have you all comment on how stupid i am for wasting so much money!
GENIUS!!
It’s funny how after just one episode K-ON! has become a Mio oppai anime, I swear this site cracks me up!
But 11 CDs?! I fail to see the logic, or apparently lack there of. Unless they’re gifts of course, one of them being a copy for me which I’d gladly accept!
lol
11? That’s ridiculous. It’s not even funny.
This is fucking ass stupid!
Those otakus are going CRAZY over K-on and I don’t even think it’s that great of a show in my personal opinion.
It’s like Beck except take away a few degrees of realism and add in moe characters. In the end it only has a tiny tiny tiny portion of the band and music element left.
Oh yeah, the OP and ED suck.
