The opening and ending tunes for spoilt princess anime K-ON! has seized the top positions in Japan’s national singles chart, according to chart creator Oricon.
The ED tune, Don’t Say “Lazy”, is now number one, and the OP song “Cagayake! GIRLS” is in second place, as is visible on the chart pages.
As we saw, otaku support appears to have had a part to play in this.
This seems to mark K-ON!’s ascension into mega-hit anime status…

most of those who complain other songs are better never really bought the cd's for those songs. You can argue the K-on fans are sheep but they at least put their money where their mouth is. Succes is always measured in terms of sales and K-on tops in this case
Don't say otaku are LAZY,
because really they're CRAZY.
It's funny
because it's true
It's true because it's funny.......my bad
Nice job getting the girls to #1, Artefact!
Frankly thats incredible.
Inb4 Kaioshin-sama.
Otaku can make anything possible...
Granted, I love the songs.
didn't i read this news from here few days ago already? concerning otaku buying out the singles?
They were at spots 3 and 4 then.
Hahahaha it's 1st.And the songs aren't that great anyway XD.
Expected with how much attention this has got, the OP is alright. Nothing that really stands out, it was the ED that got me. Now I feel like watching Beck again.
This shows the otaku purchasing power
The OP and ED theme are uber good :3
I like both the OP and ED,but surprise to see that Fullmetal OP not on the list,coz it kick ass.
Somehow I felt things would end up this way. Also, we should've really got a "OP vs. ED" vote here.
YAY! FREE SHIPPING! :D I'M BUYING BOTH ^^
...for the picture did anyone else notice that the bass is magically flying...seriously the only thing supporting it is her hand on the strings which obviously would not hold it up
torrent rips FTW
I saw this coming...
these are good tunes.
i skip the op/ed.. takes up valuable anime time, ill proable watch half then skip the rest
Most fucking hyped show this season, and I really can't see why... Moeblob isn't that interesting at all.
HIKARI NI NARE!!!
J-QUATH!
OMAE NI RAINBOW!!!
What's with trolling K-ON? Can't deny the results: Fender sales up and OP/ED albums up in top 10. If I trolled on Queen's Blade, then...
Go forth and multiply! Dominate the Oricon charts for weeks!
Seriously, I love the anime, but everybody must see the songs are not even produce well enough for it to be considered music worthy of radio. Scratch that. Radio is not filled with good music, so I give up on caring.
I think music likes this are a combination of not just the sound of the music..but the visual effects and how the characters is presented...
Clearly I can see the characters when I am listening to the songs in the car. >.>
What I am trying to say is this kind of music doesn't have any merits to warrant it as something special, or anything worth of it's oricon chart position. And if you say is a combination of other visual production, than is a music video, which is something else altogether, and not music. Is sort of like how videogames is a combination of different type of art.
If you're going to have that kind of "requirements", you should just stick to classical music. You think something really artistic and special could top Oricon? Think again...
And that is why almost all mainstream music in general has succumb to the Radio. Though an Anime song is an even worse choice than a j-pop song. Also I list no requirements for good music; I did deem quality of the music in K-On! low standards. Clearly you were reading something else.
Cool kid here aren't you?
people generally like to think that enjoying and liking something means its top quality... but then again i do love the songs
ED is good but OP is much more fun so i like it more~
The ending is really great, opening kinda ok.
i expected of this… if each person buy 11 copies… no wander it can be no 1… hail mio!!!
finally an anime song have finally reached the number 1 spot.
Nope, iirc Negima's Happy Material once got the No.1 spot but the Japan pop music industry denied it because it was somewhat threatening the non-anime hits.
Clearly, you weren't around when Macross Frontier was airing.
Don't think they ever reached #1
I knew this would happen! XD
with ottaku's buying 11 cd's a time...no wonder they gonna be to hits...
So, now what? They're going to make a "real" PV version of the song?
that would be OSOM
Yes please.
Oh wow,I'm gonna buy this album!

Mix of OP and ED
Good to see that it's happening
I hate the ED, I love the OP.
Interestingly enough, I like the 2nd track of each album better than the 1st
OP single - Both awesome
ED single - 2nd track better
I love the ED, I love the OP =|
Interesting.
I love the ED, but don't care much for the OP.
Both are awesome. I wish this months pay would hurry up so I can buy them, AND I WILL DIE IF I CAN'T GET THE LIMITED EDITION!!!
I like the full version of the OP rather than the full version of the ED.
On the other hand I like the short version of the ED more than the OP. -_-
Agreed. But i'm not really crazy about the albums though...
same here. I love the ED, but not the OP.
same here~
same here three~~
same here too~
Same here. I find the OP just a tiny bit better.
....just a tiny bit better...
The OP is certainly upbeat and fun, but it sounds like a lot of other stuff is all.
If I had my choice I'd get the single for Haruhi-chan anyway, and then annoy all my friends with it.
(I rather enjoy the song and would likely end up with it on infinite loop.)
My friend's blaming me for keep listening to the song that it' would stuck in his head during class...
