Mio might start to suspect when she discovers that it's called Tea Time Studio. :)

It is entirely possible that Azalynn will just stay on and graduate with Ui, Azusa, and Jun. Sure, she already has a high school diploma, but really, can you ever have too many?

I mainly know them because it's Joe Satriani's brand of choice; I've never played one (though last time I was at my semi-local guitar shop, oddly enough the only lefty electric they had in stock was an RG-series). The name is Spanish, but it's a Japanese brand. (And naturally Azalynn spots that the Fang-brand guitars at 10GIÄ look like the Ibanez Strat-derived body style because she plays a JS2000, one of their Joe Satriani signature line. She'd have been disappointed if she'd picked one up, though; they're a bit crap. That Stratoclone Ui borrowed was a Fang.)

Heh, yeah, once you've handled a Les Paul, everything else seems a bit toylike. My mom's Mustang is like a ukulele next to my lefty Gīta. :)

I suspect that Kakifly didn't go there for an out-of-story equivalent of the same reason Ui and Jun sort of object - because he didn't want to risk messing up the feng shui in the clubroom by either expanding the band further or adding more club members who weren't in it. (That, and the "the Light Music Club can't get new recruits because everyone thinks they're freaks" thing is a running joke, albeit not one I'm particularly attached to, obviously. I touched it in Jun's blog post in Chapter 1, and that about did it for that as far as I'm concerned. :)

Also, it has to be admitted that most prodigal young guitarists would resent it at least a bit if their younger, cleverer, better-at-school sisters suddenly upped and took up the instrument, then joined the club where they have, after a lifetime of muddled obscurity, really started to shine. It would tend to seem... competitive. That's probably never occurred to Yui, because she's Yui, but I could see Ui worrying that she might cause it, and the author wanting to avoid implying it.

Personally, even bearing the above (which are valid concerns!) in mind, I always thought it was both a bit odd and kind of a shame that Ui only joined the club after Yui and company graduated, because not only wasn't she in it with Yui, she only got to be part of it for a year. (I should note, in the interest of full disclosure, that I'm not a great fan of either of the volumes of the manga that happen after the four founders graduate, so that probably skews my perception of the matter a little.)

There was some joking speculation in another thread that Yui may be a waterbender, and just not have realized it because she thinks she merely has telekinetic mastery over citrus fruits.

We'll be seeing more about Mio and Ritsu in that context after the hiatus.

>Starting topics feels weird to my lurker-senses

Well, I'm glad you did. If everybody lurks, I don't know what's going on, and I start to get the feeling that I'm really just the online equivalent of the guy at the bus stop shouting at indifferent passers-by. :)
