The VAs playing their own instruments and singing "Fuwa Fuwa Time" is on http://www.tbs.co.jp/anime/k-on/radio/radio22.html (09/07/31 episode). About halfway through the first clip on that page. It is really is worth a listen. For reference: Ritsu - Satou Satomi Mio - Hikasa Youko Tsumugi - Kotobuki Minako Yui - Toyosaki Aki The second clip has the emotional moments when the VAs for Mugi and Mio are simply overwhelmed by the positive response of the fans.

- They've been learning how to play their respective instruments since the beginning of Rajion, so since February. - With that said and done, have no idea what Azunyan's seiyuu has done with guitar before. I haven't listened to Rajion at all since Sanada Asami/Sawa-sensei first appeared because it got boring and the girls don't know how to stay near the microphone. But during the bits, they've been learning to play some sort of song, which sounds better than them doing Fuwa Fuwa Time.... Edit: loool, I totally forgot about Japan and having music stuff for curriculum, unlike anti-art western side of the world. :>

They do a nice copy of it.... but Mio's VA just has a nice deep note to her voice that I was missing. Hmmm, I still prefer ZONE (at least their edgier stuff).

I actually didn't listen to all of it at first, lol. The girls are cute and that's pretty much why I just watched it. The singing is okay - prefer the middle girl's voice than the other ones. As for their arrangement, ehh, whatever.
I was too busy panting at the Minorin and Nana-sama part of the show.... Oh, uh, here's that K-On! event where the seiyuu performed Fuwa Fuwa Time if you don't want to load up Rajion. :V

Of course, I also note that Scandal's instrument work is pretty basic. Their rendition of "Don't Be Lazy" was musically seriously simplified. They have a ways to go before they match ZONE's technical skills (which weren't spectacular either to be honest). I'm getting the feeling that Japanese are just still amazed that girls might play rock instruments.... Flashback to the U.S.'s early 'girl bands' like the Go-Gos, the Bangles, etc for some comparison. More lessons, girls, eh?

Haven't done this in a couple weeks because getting numbers on some of the singles has been harder. My source for things out of the top 50 posts about a week after the numbers come out. In any case, here's the latest sales figures I can find for all of the K-On music:
Don't Say Lazy : 159729 total sales (current; was #54 for the week) Cagayake! Girls : 143780 total sales (current; was #62 for the week) Fuwafuwa Jikan : 77804 total sales (current, was not in top 100) Mio Character Single : 51897 total sales (current, was not in top 100) Yui Character Single : 50196 total sales (current, was not in top 100) Death Devil - Maddy Candy : 12101 total sales (current, #9 for the week) Hokago Tea Time : 96984 total sales (current; #18 for the week) A couple of interesting things to note here. First off, the OP/ED singles actually saw a small boost in sales this week, 16 weeks into their run. Also, Yui's single has been outselling Mio's for the past couple of weeks and might eventually catch her. As of right now, all 5 singles are in the yearly top 100, ranging from 22 to 83. HTT is also in the yearly top 100 at 65, and will probably break the 100k sales mark this week. Here's hoping the next batch of character singles will give the older material a little boost when they come out next week! Oh, and after calculating the figures I could get and accounting for about 900 copies each for this weeks sales of Mio, Yui & Fuwa, it appears that the gross sales for all K-On music has now gone over $8 million.

K-ON! merchandise should have a stock index coded MMK (named Moe Moe Kyun). It would bankrupt Nikkei if the manufacturers came up with a promotion the fans can't resist.
