Mio Akiyama plays bass in After School Tea Time! With her straight black hair and stunning figure, she's worthy of being called a beautiful girl. We'll introduce her profile and personality to help you discover more of her charms.
Her sensible appearance hides a hidden side that you might never imagine, so you might find yourself captivated by Mio Akiyama's cuteness. Please read to the end and enjoy her charm.
Akiyama Mio's Profile
Akiyama Mio, known for her long, straight black hair, stands 160cm tall and weighs 54kg. Her appearance perfectly embodies the term "cool beauty."
However, on the other hand, she is shy and lonely, and has a sensitive personality that makes her immune to painful or scary stories.
She's the most dedicated member of the light music club, and she often ends up scolding her childhood friend, Tainaka Ritsu, who serves as the club's captain, for her pranks and excessive behavior. Their conversations are fast-paced and entertaining, like a comedy duo, making them a fun and entertaining sight to watch.
Akiyama Mio also has a cool, mature air about her, but seeing her interact with Tainaka Ritsu makes you realize she's also a girl her age, which is heartwarming.
Did you have no plans to join the light music club when you first enrolled?
After enrolling at Sakuragaoka High School, Mio Akiyama hopes to join the literature club.
However, her childhood friend, Ritsu Tainaka, persuades her to join the light music club, where she meets Yui Hirasawa and Tsumugi Kotobuki, and the two form the group After School Tea Time. Akiyama Mio was almost forced to start a band, but she often takes on leadership roles in place of Tainaka Ritsu, who is the club president, which earns her envious looks from Nakano Azusa.
However, as enjoying a heartwarming cup of tea in the clubroom after school became a normal thing, Mio Akiyama was also drawn into that atmosphere, and she too began to enjoy a relaxed club activity life.
Mio Akiyama is actually a very girly-looking girl

The beautiful, black-haired Mio Akiyama is truly the epitome of cool beauty! Her serious personality is evident even in her appearance, as evidenced by her dedication to bass practice, but her true personality is very girly.
She is a very shy girl, and she still dwells on the memory of her tripping and accidentally exposing her underwear in public during her first-year school festival.
Another episode depicts an episode in which, while enjoying tea as usual in the clubroom, Tsumugi Kotobuki steals the strawberry from the shortcake she was looking forward to, causing her to freeze in tears. Despite her cool appearance, she has a pure heart, and many people are drawn to this contrast and become crazy about Akiyama Mio.
Akiyama Mio writes girly lyrics
Akiyama Mio's girlish side is also evident in the songs written by After School Tea Time. The lyrics she writes are full of unique flair, and when she writes lyrics that express a girl's feelings of love, they are enveloped in a fluffy atmosphere, making them very girly in content.
However, when Mio Akiyama debuted her new lyrics for "Tokimeki Sugar," a song she was working on for the "Mio Akiyama Fan Club Tea Party," Ritsu Tainaka and the other members struggled to keep up with her unique worldview. One line in the song, "The sauce I create for you, my heart is caramel sauce," is a world that only Akiyama Mio could create. Tainaka Ritsu revealed that the inspiration for writing lyrics like this came from an essay that Akiyama Mio won an award for when she was in the fourth grade of elementary school.
Akiyama Mio plays bass in After School Tea Time!
Mio Akiyama joined the Sakuragaoka High School Light Music Club and is active as the bassist for After School Tea Time! In addition to playing bass, she also writes lyrics, leads vocals, and sings chorus, making her an indispensable member of the band.
At the school festival during her first year, Yui Hirasawa was scheduled to perform on stage as guitarist and vocalist, but she lost her voice just before the performance, and Mio Akiyama had to take over as vocalist at the last minute. Although overwhelmed with anxiety and tension, Mio Akiyama successfully fulfilled her important role with the encouragement of her fellow band members. From there, she took on the role of main vocalist, rapidly gaining fans who fell in love not only with her singing voice but also her playing technique.
What bass do you play?

Mio Akiyama plays a Fender Jazz Bass. Being left-handed, she plays the left-handed model on stage. While left-handed bassists often play with standard models, Mio Akiyama agonized over which bass to buy before finally deciding, and she has a deep attachment to it.

Yui Hirasawa named her "Elizabeth" after the bass, and Mio Akiyama was drawn to the name and even refers to her own instrument as Elizabeth. The reason Mio Akiyama chose the bass in the first place is because, unlike guitar or vocals, the bass doesn't stand out in the crowd, reflecting her shy personality.
However, in reality, he performs brilliantly as bassist and vocalist on stage at the school festival. Although things didn't go as planned, this becomes a catalyst for his growth.
She also sang the ending theme song.
While Yui Hirasawa sang the opening theme song for "K-ON!", Mio Akiyama sang the ending theme song. In stark contrast to the opening song, which is a light-hearted girl's rock number typical of After School Tea Time, the ending song is a cool tune with a more mature atmosphere, which is a perfect match for Akiyama Mio's singing voice and atmosphere. Also, as you can see from the ending video, the band members are dressed in cool outfits while performing, which gives the impression of After School Tea Time working as professionals.
Both ending songs are highly popular among fans, making them the perfect way to enjoy Mio Akiyama's cool and handsome appearance.
So popular that Sakuragaoka High School has its own fan club!
After Houkago Tea Time attends the school festival in their first year, the "Akiyama Mio Fan Club" is formed at Sakuragaoka High School, where they attend.
At first, she was hesitant, feeling embarrassed, but she gradually began to want to do something for everyone who supported her, and so she decided to hold a tea party with her fan club. At the end of the tea party, Mio Akiyama surprised everyone by reading the lyrics to "Tokimeki Sugar," as she had yet to compose music. However, even her supporters were unable to keep up with her unique worldview. It seems that Mio Akiyama has many fans both inside and outside of school, proving that she's not just a beautiful, cool girl's idol.
