Here is the New York Times mention of this trend in neckties
Novelty neckties are one of those things that are great in concept but terrible in reality. No self-respecting person could bring himself to wear a piano keyboard tie or something along those lines. I had a hard enough time convincing my dad to wear a very subtle novelty tie, one with a very tiny, practically invisible elephant motif.
Thus, these K-On! "rockties", like the Mio bowl or countless other moeblob goods, simply exist. I suppose you could hang them on your dorm doorknob to signal that you've a girl in your room.
Check out photos of the ties in the gallery, reserve yours for a modest 1900 yen at Hobby Search, or watch the video above and curse the goods-making gods for not having a castanet-themed version.
Those are some fantastic ties, Japan always has crazy products. If you wear ties often than I'm sure you've experienced the knot loosening throughout the course of the day. Leaving you to constantly fix and tighten it. This only results in you giving off a negative impression of insecurity and nervousness. Instead keep your tie tight all day with these great tie accessories from http://www.tiesnug.com.
