What is it about? The high school student Yui Hirasawa joins her school’s pop music club to save it from dissolution. The problem: she can’t play any musical instrument. In the club, she meets drummer Ritsu, keyboardist Tsumugi, and bassist Mio, with whom she forms a band. Over time, guitarist Azusa joins the club.
Why is the series suitable for beginners? In addition to the musical interludes, the anime focuses on the everyday, carefree, and humorous experiences of the girls. This ranges from drinking tea together in the clubroom to buying musical instruments. School life is also not neglected, as the girls need to study for upcoming exams.
The anime is therefore easy to understand and takes you back to school days. As a fan, you don’t need to have an understanding of music to grasp the girls’ problems and follow their experiences.
