Today, Shiravune — publisher of Utawarerumono series and the PRIMAL HEARTS series — released the AQUAPLUS classic WHITE ALBUM: Memories like Falling Snow.
Announced last June, the game is a remake of the original WHITE ALBUM released in 1998. The all-ages remake features full voice acting, additional scenarios, and higher-definition artwork, as well as an extra route.
It is important to mention that the stories in WHITE ALBUM andWHITE ALBUM 2 are not, in fact, related. They are from the same series, but they do not share stories, characters, nor writers – they do use the same universe though.
While WHITE ALBUM 2 is quite acclaimed and popular by itself, WHITE ALBUM is rather obscure, even if it does have an anime adaptation.
WHITE ALBUM is about love in many forms.
Touya Fujii is an ordinary college student but for one thing:
his connection to the popular singer Yuki Morikawa.That popular singer, you see, is his girlfriend…
and the more popular she gets, the less time
the two can spend together.
Will they stay a couple, or will their ways part?
As winter falls and the air grows colder,
the two lay down new tracks in the album of their love…This album will be as white as snow—and just as poignant.
The original scenario was written by Harada Woodai (ToHeart), while the remake’s additional scenarios were contributed by talents including Makura Nagare (ToHeart2, Tears to Tiara), Marui Takeshi (ToHeart2, Tears to Tiara, Utawarerumono 2 and 3), and Suzumoto Yuuichi (CLANNAD, planetarian). Longtime AQUAPLUS fans will also recognize Kawata Hisashi (ToHeart 1 and 2) for his art and Suara (Tears to Tiara, Utawarerumono) for her vocals in the opening song.
The game will be available in English and Traditional Chinese upon release. Wishlist it now on Steam, or preorder the game on Johren for a discounted price of $22.49 (regional prices may vary).
An up-and-coming singer who made her debut just one year ago. She’s been dating Touya ever since high school, and the two now attend the same college. However, her increasing popularity hasn’t improved their relationship, and instead is threatening to tear them apart.
Yuki’s senior coworker at the production agency they both belong to, Rina Ogata grew into stardom from a young age due to a mixture of talent and hard work… not to mention her good looks, quick thinking, smooth manners, accumulated experience, unwavering singing voice, and unbreakable spirit. These traits and more have helped make her an unstoppable force in the entertainment world—and all she had to sacrifice was any semblance of a personal life.
