"Hōkago Teatime," a two-CD mini-album "performed" by the characters of the K-On! anime series, became the first anime character CD release to top either the weekly album or single chart of the Oricon survey firm. The CD release sold 67,000 copies to debut at #1 on the latest weekly album chart. No other album credited to fictional anime characters has ever reached that high.

Not even Spinal Tap albums?
Although I don’t know about the directions at 4:51.
It’s commonly known when you look north in Japan East is to your left. Please don’t try to correct that sentence. It lasts only for a second but I wouldn’t expect a mistake like that.

Yes, not even despite Liam Gallagher's protestations. Mind you, he actually thought they were a real band until he saw them live. :lol:

Yes, but then Liam Gallagher only functions on the lizard-brain level, so he would think that. If "think" is what is actually happening in his head.

I think it's a mix of drinking, getting in stouches with Noel Gallagher, dreaming of bringing the monarchy down and thinking about how he can sue Green Day.

Yes, well, nobody takes Liam Gallagher seriously on any subject. He's pretty much guaranteed that. He's so stupid, even sheltered workshops would turn him away.
