Deardrops

Deardrops

Shouichi was known as one of the ‘nobles’ of the violin world. Having started playing the violin when he was 3, he won the national violin competition when he was in middle school and went to Germany to play in orchestras. However, due to unknown reasons, he returned to Japan, gave up playing the violin and became a freeter. One day, he starts working at a live house and meets many other amateur musicians who are living their lives their own way. Together they will have to overcome obstacles in both their personal lives and as a band. To Shouichi, the live house is a new beginning in a new place… a new world which has opened to him when he thought that his future as a musician had closed.

  1. I just wanted to say because I feel like it can never be said enough but thank you admin for all the great work you do for us and for all the time and effort you take to help everyone and to keep them happy. I can safely say that if it were not for this site I would not like eroge as much as I do because it is just too expensive compared to regular porn so thank you. Also some of the games have a pretty good storyline such as muv-luv.

  2. I’ve tried everything, but my game crashes every time right after the part where

    [SPOILER] they choose the band name and Shoichi says “Why don’t we see this through and find out?” [/SPOILER]

    I’ve tried re-extracting, re-downloading both mediafire and torrent links, nothing I try is working! Did anybody else have this problem? T_T Any suggestions?

    1. I’ve had the same problem with a couple other games, and it turned out that a video codec pack I had installed was messing with in game video somehow. I unistalled the codec pack and presto!

        1. In case you still haven’t found a suitable codec pack, and of course in future reference to everyone else having this problem, try CCCP codec pack.

          It’s quite popular and I’ve never heard of anyone having problems with it. Well, not ones caused by the codec anyhow – just don’t play with the settings too much unless you know what you’re doing.

    2. That’s right where the OP video starts, so it is probably the something to do with the video, either a codec pack like HppyNSlvry said, or your graphics card driver. Try updating both.
      Also, anyone who hasn’t yet should check out the new site:
      http://erogegames.com
      It’s an eroge forum run by this site’s admin and it’s pretty good. You can probably find help more easily at a forum than in comments.

    3. Try running the game fullscreen with the “keep aspect ratio” option checked, it’s probably to do with video stretching.

      1. Don’t be a snide jackass. His/her question is valid – is this the MangaGamer release or a fanslated version of the game?

        1. Admin doesn’t upload a game here unless it’s 100% translated, for future reference, at least thats what he says and I have never seen anything that would say otherwise.

  3. Sorry if this is the worng place to ask this, but somebody know where i can get the ost of this game?

    1. There really isn’t an ost yet. But there are albums and they are:

      1. Straight
      2. My Dear Stardust
      3. Last Waltz

      They’re all easily obtainable through searching google.

      1. Also, note that while Straight and My Dear Stardust have some of the same songs, they sound a little different…except for maybe 2 or 3 of them that are exactly the same.

  4. Reached the Osaka part where the protagonists are supposed to play in front of 10k people, and when game goes into the auto mode for the scene, an error appears.

    Thread No. [ 1 ] , Program [ scrgrp4._bp ]

    IP [ Thread : $00027BC7 / Program : $00000397 ] , Instruction No. [ $905C ] , SP [ $000010E0 ]

    指定されたビットマップ [ 0 , -1 ] のいずれかが無効です

    Any ideas?

    1. i got almost the same error but mine happened instead right after the guerrilla live after leo stops talking. any help on these situations would be appreciated.

  5. Hmmm I’m guessing as it’s an Overdrive game that one of the girls has a major depressing story? As long as she still gets a happy end though.

  6. Finished Riho’s route, it’s great but I was hoping for more for the ending… I guess the fandisk is a sequel for Riho’s ending?

    1. yep, it’s the continuation of riho’s route and kirari’s true route of kirakira.
      Just finished playing it, it’s really good and it brings more closure to the story for those who left kinda unsatisfied with riho’s ending (i’m one of them).
      It’s still untranslated though.

  7. Riho’s is the canonical ending.
    Kanade’s is also pretty good but Yayoi and Rimu are pretty short and shallow by comparison.
    Riho’s route has Cameos of Souta Honda and Kirari

  8. nice nice loved the game but story line is way to similar to beck mongolian chop squad no complaints though it was fun =)

  9. pretty good game. Kirakira + Deardrops aren’t by any means the best visual novels out there imo, but they’re always very enjoyable and the music is actually quite good.

    I’d give Kirakira + Curtain Call an 8.5 out of 10…
    and Deardrops a… 7.8 out of 10.

    And Riho sex scenes were pretty damn hot.

  10. Amazing game, longer than the usual novel game and with way less hentai scenes, but the story was way so good!

  11. One of the best novels I’ve played xD Rimu’s my favorite, just because shes awesome, wish she had a way longer route though :/ Most fun character in the game.

  12. I’m having trouble downloading part 2 from mediafire. When I click the download button, the usual pop-up for me to save the file doesn’t show up. I’ve been retrying for the past hour or so and I was wondering if this thing is normal now because of the high traffic?.. o.o

    1. Media fire allow us to download one file with same name if ur download suddenly crashed or interrupted, it will refresh again and again after u press download button and it won’t allow you to download it anymore.Must wait the next or ur connection gt problem thats y.

  13. OMG I just finished Kanade’s route. Thank you so much for uploading this, I got attract to the poster in the beginning and downloaded it and now COMPLETELY FELL IN LOVE WITH DEARDROPS. THANK YOU 😀

  14. Say, are we supposed to buy a premium account in DA to download file, i dont seem to be able to download more than 100 mbs

    1. No, i’m adding it as additional mirror. Files under 100mb, like patches etc. download without problem and really fast. Mediafire and torrent links will always be available as well.

        1. Well… it’s more convinient for both me and users (having to download 33 parts of one game from mediafire kinda sucks), but the site will always stay free.

          1. It depends, if i have to download 33 parts from mediafire or 6 parts fron old fileserve i’d rather use mediafire, no captcha means i can leave computer on all night and feel happy in the morning…
            well i am talking as the owner of a 2mb internet conection

          2. And what if one of those parts got corrupted or removed from MF servers? Mediafire has huge capacity problems recently – files are disapearing, not downloading. Currently i have over 1500 links on mediafire – the more there are, the higher the chance something goes wrong. That’s the main reason i’m constantly looking for additional hosts, or ways to deliver the files (torrents, xdcc etc.)

          3. Well to be honest i just thought no captcha means good filehost, that’s why people keep asking to use mediafire, including me, and that’s why megaupload was so popular, but, since they are small parts reupload them should not be that bad for you…i guess.
            As situation is now, no other filehost is better than MF IMO…

  15. I have downloaded the game and extracted it. I have daemon tools and everything, I have codecs and everything, but the game will not open. I have a windows 7 os.
    Any suggestions?
    When I click on the deardrops.exe an error message comes up with jibberish symbols with .arc in the middle of it

    1. You can easily find the torrents for the soundtrack just look up the albums, My Dearstardust,Straight, and Last Waltz

  16. After downloading all the separate parts and trying the EXE the game doesn’t seem to start up or trying any install function anyone else having this problem?.

  17. oiii minna check this out
    [Overdrive] d2b VS DEARDROPS -Cross the Future- it’s still in JAP. but i hope you could look at it operator. i really want it in my collection

    1. you can easily get d2b vs deardrops via google or craneanime.

      for those of you who love Riho but kinda unsatisfied with her ending (well, i am), d2b vs deardrops is a must, its good and the collaboration song was really cool too, though its untranslated.

      Riho kicks like a Bruce lee.

  18. I’ve tried both the torrent and the direct link with Mediafire, but no matter how I download it, part 2 always fails to properly unzip. I always get an error box that mentions something about the 3 movies in it being corrupted or… something error-ful. So… is it just me? If so, what can I do to remedy it?

  19. Downloaded the game, but after i click the start game i see no w tex just a jibberish like 0O0O over and over.

    anyone else got this problem?

  20. Good game, to be honest this was the first game i’ve played that was produced by overdrive (no i haven’t played kirakira but after playing deardrops i will.) so as always with a new producer im unfamiliar with im a bit spectacle. However the game exceeded my expectations, the story was good. The music flowed perfectly and i took quite a liking to the actual songs, the comedy that was thrown in there at unexpected moments made me burst out laughing Especially gonda’s funny moments.

    The only thing i sort of have a minor complaint about was riho’s unsatisfying ending, i heard it had a continuation? if anyone knows anything shoot me a reply.

    And as always admin keep up the good work.

    1. yep, the fandisk ‘d2b vs deardrops’ is the continuation of Riho’s ending and Kirari’s true ending in Kirakira.

      you can find it by googling or search on craneanime.
      its untranslated though, but its really good, full of humors, and it will answer your complain about Riho,s ending (i kinda unsatisfied with Riho’s ending too before playing the fandisk).

      1. ahh i see, thanks for the info. I’m glad to see that she will get a more conclusive ending, because it was kind of open-ended

        1. lets just spam at mangagamer so so they will translate the fandisk… seriously .. i want MORE of RIHOOO.

  21. admin are you gonna put up Violated Hero: -I Wanted to Chivalrously Save the World- its been 100% translated
    thx for reply admin 🙂

  22. Downloaded the game, but after i click the start game i see no w tex just a jibberish like 0O0O over and over AGAIN.

    anyone else got this problem?

  23. Say what you will about Deardrops; but to me, it was absolutely fantastic. Riho’s route was absolutely amazing.

  24. Ummm I found a psp version of this game entitled “Deardrops Distortion” is it the same game? or does it has a different story for each route? or different ending perhaps? Does anyone knows? I really like this game and might even considering learning japanese for this game.

  25. Nevermind I actually found this d2b VS DEARDROPS -Cross the Future- some one please translate D-X

  26. i only played kanade’s and riho’s route but i gotta say , riho’s route is fking nice , i would give it a 8.5/10 , maybe 9/10 if there was censor.. please , i want to see riho , not sho’s…(refering to h-scene 1 , h-scene 2 is just plain awesomeness )

    1. The patch has only been out one day, if you want it so bad go find it yourself, the admin doesn’t automatically get the games and patches when it comes out, he or she has to go find them or buy them which could take a few days or longer. The admin has put so many VN’s here available for download and hasn’t asked anything in return, so you should show some respect

  27. This Game Is Amazing, Being A Rock N Roll Person Myself.
    Now I Just Need To See Some Tabs And English Translated Lyrics To Their Songs And Me And My Friends Can Make A Cover Of It.

  28. Ok the other night i downloaded the game and had it all ready, i started playing ti with no problems what so ever. I turn it off and go to bed and the next day i turn it on and i get this error code.

    [system.arc : ipl._bp }

    with a whole bunch of other symbols around it, whats going on and how can i fix this, all i want to enjoy the game.

    Someone please help me.
