Aoishiro

My deceased grandmother liked traveling. Strange scenery. Strange people. She liked to meet them. I am now a high school student and set off on a trip as well. It is just a camp for training of my club. We visit a town near the sea and go to a temple gate located at the cape. What we see there is….
Aoishiro is an all-ages, yuri visual novel developed by Success. It is considered somewhat of a sequel to Akaiito, also, a yuri visual novel by Success, and the two seem to share the same world. The original release of the game was for Playstation 2 on May of 2008. In November of 2009, the game was ported to PC. Modifications included high-res, less-censored CG. In addition, there were some extra CG and two extra side stories were added. There is also a mode where you can design your own Aoishiro scenes using a proprietary scripting language.

there is lot of lesbians :3 and i know girls, who aren't lesbians, and like to play yuri more than yaoi or hentai ^^

Hazel16 Sep 2011Reply

umm, no. Just, no. I'm not that poster, IDK who they are, but srsly, queer women, we exist, we have libidos, etc etc. I found this one specifically by searching for yuri, coz as a girl I hate having to play guys all the time (or straight women, though that's enough less common that it's less obnoxious for me), having my perspective as a woman and as a lesbian erased not only by the gaming industry but by idiots online is annoying.

Not really, I find it refreshing. Since the overwhelming majority of eroge have male protagonists, its nice to deviate once in a while.

Confused25 May 2011Reply

Yeah, I know Osa is awesome and adorable, but since girl's the protagonist, no path. Hehe.

Rei31 Jul 2010Reply

If you have window 7 or vista, you have to run an update patch to play the game in english. Download here:

http://www.success-corp.co.jp/software/pc/aoishiro/taikenban.html#dl05

For window 7 users and vista, the game must be installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Aoishiro for the patch to work.

For vista users, if C:\Program Files (x86)\Aoishiro does not work, install in C:\Program Files\Aoishiro

Then to patch, just extract the contents of the patch and copy+merge to where you installed Aoishiro.

I'm sorry to say this admin, but I think I hate you now. Your download from servers button doesn't even have surveys. Just suspicious software that's a "great deal" or "#1 on the web". Surveys are fine but I and many other people don't believe that we are the 999999th visitor to your website and are entitled to some grand prize. We just want some simple questions, not hoops that need to jump through for some stranger's sake.

EgbertPoot09 Feb 2011Reply

How much does it cost you to download these files? Free? That's cool.

How much does it cost the admin to keep the site up? More than free? bummer.

Yeah the surveys aren't really surveys (I'm guessing you're from America) but you have to remember, we live in America. Companies can pretty much do whatever they want, no matter how dishonest. Especially so on the internet.

No need to hate me - i know surveys suck for many countries - that's why i'm providing hotfile links as well.

Admin.-Sorry to trouble you, but I too have the D3Dx9_37.dll. error:I think that I followed all the directions as directed, but when I tried to run the game it said that the D3Dx9_37.dll. wasn't found and so it couldn't run it. Please help those of us with the same error ASAP. Thank you for helping as always.

Well I would probably say it's Age 15+. There's no sex or anything dirty. Although some cgs are somewhat (not really) revealing -which partially show some chest area- but it's not something I would call "adult".

To avoid problem, please rename/move the Aoshiro game directory to something simple, like C:\Aoishiro.

When I mouunt the image, there's nothing openable on it, only folder "SFD" with few .SFD files, folder "SCRIPT" with few .AFS files, and .FCF .IMG .BIN .58 .CNF files, but none of them is executable. .IMG file can't be mounted. So my question is, how do you install this game? I know I installed it somehow before, from same image, but I have no idea how.

admin30 Jan 2011Reply

I'm working on new version of site right now - i've found better file host and files will be split into 2GB parts so there will be 3 parts instead of 15.

Where the fuck is that d3dx9_37.dll file!? >_>
Downloaded that directx thing drowka recommended but it didn't install (fucking error x.x)
Sigh...

SilenceComes31 Jan 2011Reply

Okay... Strike everything I just said.
If your missing a ddl file do what drowka said (his comment is above) Install the directx thing (if it doesn't install properly close everything then run it again)

2nd DO NOT extract the patch into the folder the game is in!
After extracting it wherever the hell you did it to (except the game folder...) Move ALL the files in the patch folder into the game folder. When it asks you if you want to replace stuff say YES to everything.

Thanks drowka and admin! :)

Ya know, this wouldn't be so large if you used LZMA2 7z archives instead...

cubez07 May 2011Reply

Okay I installed (or should I say unrared) this and while the game seems to have english text in dialogues, the menu and popping messages are still in japanese. Am I doing something wrong or is it supposed to be this way? (I followed the instructions and even tried the original website with the patch)
Using Windows7, tried copying to Program Files (x86) to apply the latest patch someone else gave a link to but that didn't do anything (the patch I mean).

Hm, I "installed" the patch like it was described in the install.htm, but for some reason the menu of the game isn't translated when I start the game. The ingame-text is. Any ideas?

nfora02 Jun 2011Reply

you should scroll downward and read further on. Under "Known Issues" they stated that most menu items and some other stuff are untranslated. It's doesnt really affects much, since they did provide screen shots of those untranslated items (in english) so just refer to those.

WHAT THE HIIRAGI KAGAMI????????????????????????
I downloaded ALL 15 PARTS and tried to unpack them,but WinRar said "UNEXPECTED ARCHIVE END" or kinda this and DIDN`T UNRAR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried even opening every file separately,but after unpacking one tiny particle of it WinRar said ERROR!!!!!!

WAAAAAAAH (TT^TT) HELP ME PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!! I`ve dreamt to play this game almost half a year,and anything I tried did`nt do!

admin19 Jun 2011Reply

firstly - check all archive sizes - all, except last should have exactly same size - maybe some part didn't finish downloading properly. Then make sure you didn't rename any of the parts - if you did, then winrar wont be able to find following parts.

ThornsForest20 Jun 2011Reply

Yeah, all of them had 381 MB size and nah, I didn`t change names, but...well, there could probably have been not enough space on my hard drive and that`s why winrar claims the archives are damaged... I tried to fix them but even rebuilt ones had that "Unexpected end" and twice rebuilt ones too...when I open one 0f 15 rar parts, it gives me that system message immediately and then shows folder"Aoishiro", next I open it and see different contents like scripts or .exe files & stuff, howewer, after double-clicking each of them there begins an unpacking process and stops with a CRS error...

Tsuki19 Jun 2011Reply

The games work on my laptop but after a couple sec/min of playing it crashes and says "Aoishiro has stopped working" it does this every time and its getting annoying >_< can someone help meh with this .

Rhian22 Jun 2011Reply

this game is an absolute FAVORITE visual novel of mine. It's FULLY voiced, including the protagonist. you can even choose a character to speak the menu choices for you, or even choose to turn off character voices for particular characters. The art is very very nice, the story is interesting, and the protagonist is female! (which is awesome for me since I'm female and there's so many male-protagonist harem H games in the world already). I would recommend this game to anyone. There is a huge ratio of bad endings and only 6 actual "good" endings.

fourth, maybe try reinstalling and repatch it,
Try running it as an admin~

Akaiito is actually made before Aoi Shiro, but as for the translation, there probably wont be one.
Reasons include that there was no PC version created, because its success (lol get it? Success, success? The company who made the game?)was not as good, and most translations dont happen if VNs are not available for the PC because an english patch is very difficult to put into a PS2 game
