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 get that direct 3D problem too for another game. though i can’t seem to fix it, it goes away after a while. try playing it a few days later (not a really good and valid solution, but just a suggestion you might want to consider.)
          also yea make sure you have the d3dx files in the folder

    1. game’s not that good
      canon routes are painfully long
      and story is barely passable. Also
      Rimu’s and Yayoi’s routes are awfully short. (seem more like a bonus)
      very few H-scenes, they shouldn’t have bothered at all with them.
      You’re not missing out anything really..
      i guess this is just for fans of the genre. :/

      1. It’s in English XD

        Though I must say, hmm, even if the canon’s story is long, they’re worth it, very worth it…well, for me that is xD

  1. feeling to learn a guitar …then if i can then start a band …until I am still young enough to enjoy life to full

  2. When I start this it shows an Error and saying “Display adaptor does not support requisite function.”..
    what can I be missing..or I need to upgrade my video card..

    1. I think I really need to upgrade my Video Card(32mb)…ahahahaha..this could my 17th Visual Novel downloaded..

  3. Holy s&%$t. This was so epic, especially Riho’s route. I really want to knwo what happens after that route’s end. T_T I wanna cry.

    While it lacks a bit regarding H content the story is pretty cool

    1. Yes, I believe the strength of this VN is in the story, and the H scenes aren’t ‘cluttered’ or placed there just because.

      Riho’s route was powerful. Now moving on to the other routes now.

      -C

      1. Id say Riho route was the best beside Kanade what a boss to be stabbed and still play a violin reminds me of Kaichou maid-sama

  4. Sorry for being such a fangirl (lol), but do you think this VN is getting a “2nd part”? I really want to know what happens after Riho’s route is completed T_T

    1. there’s d2b vs Deardrops -Cross the future. A collaboration fandisk celebrating the 5th anniversary of OVERDRIVE, featuring a crossover between Kira☆Kira and DEARDROPS. I have not tried it myself since I couldn’t find where i could get it for free. :/

  5. Am I the one only having problem? My game hangs when in Riho route, when they are trying to send off Suga-Sho. Can anyone help me please???

    1. This is most likely a hang caused by the game waiting for a video codec to kick in for the finale video I get prompted by FFDshow every time the game had one of its video files and it wouldn’t proceed till I hit ok. Your hang is prolly something like that. Worst case scenario that particular video file is corrupted and won’t run leading to the hang.

  6. One of the best games I ever played. Thanks! B.T.W., does anyone know if there’ s going to be a sequel to this game?

    1. I’ve posted that same question XD and I’ve been looking for some news. So far I’ve found that there is a PSP game (Deardrops Distortion) that is, apparently, the same as this version with some updated content (new cg, new bgm and a new route); I’ve also found that there is going to be a re-debut of the game in 2012/4/27, it seems like a repack of the game including a crossover with KiraKira named “Deardrops with Cross the Future”. I’ve been looking at the images and also translated (w google lol) the description, as well as every page realted to it and this is, definitely, a sequel, since the events happen 3 years after the departure of Suga-Sho.

      You can try using the translator on overdrive website. It’s the same source as this info I’m posting.

    2. However, it is a fandisc… Approved by overdrive, though. But that shouldn’t matter, the story is pretty cool and we will have the chance to see our fave chars agn, imo XD

  7. I hate to sound like a broken record posting this twice but I am having some text problems so does anyone know how to fix this

      1. I’d be happy if you could reply here and tell me when the English translation comes out. Thanks!

  8. So everything seems to run fine except for occasional black screens through the script, and on top of this the game crashes with an error message right after they choose their band name. What do?

  9. what the hell?? i started the install shield wizard and some unreadable crap appears.. i click it ok and the install shield wizard never appears again… what does this means?? someone please the only understandable part i can read is “wish upon a star”…

  10. Too bad.. it works really fine but when i save the game and start it again there is no saved files :< so i cant save it.
    Had to start over :'<

  11. Wait Who Translated This? It Says Mangagamer In The Beginning But I Don’t See It On Their Site?
    This Game Is Really Good Thought I should Support it.
    Oh And The sequel Is called “d2b vs Deardrops – Cross The Future”

    1. mangagamer.com have two sites, one for under 18 and one over 18.. 😀 good luck finding them

  12. admin! please upload “d2b vs deardrops- cross the future”! REALLY LOVE to play this game!!! I already finished playing DEARDROPS, KIRA KIRA and KIRA KIRA Curtain call! make me feel sad that I finished all of them T.T
    one of my best played VN NOVEL! of course CLANNAD the game is still the best!!! >.<
    haha

    1. Wait for it to be translated. And, I love Clannad too, but you don’t have to go all the way here just to say, ‘CLANNAD the game is still the best!!! >.<'
      Who cares? if you like that game, post it in the game's dload site, not here…-_-'

  13. Can someone help me? i extracted the files and then when I try to run the the app it says error and its in japanese I tried running it in the usa and jp locale but I get the same message. Do I have to mount it or what.. Thanks in advance!

    1. No, you don’t have to mount it. This game is a download, extract, and play type so you don’t need any program in order to play this. I was able to play this game without changing my computer into japanese locale so I don’t think it is needed.

      The only thing that I can think of about your situation is that something wrong might have occurred during the extraction or the downloading process so you should try to extract the game again. If you don’t think that this is the cause then try to redownload this game again ( I know it’s disappointing to redownload a game with a size of more than 1 GB but if you want to play this then you should just go through with it).

      I can only provide this much information since you didn’t mention what OS are you using and also your video card as well.

      Good Luck.

  14. omg can someone help me i am at the route of Riho at the airport and when I see the truck the game wont continue >.<

    1. Hi! This may be a little late… but I had the exact same problem, I looked in my data I didn’t have the ending file for riho “ed_01” mpeg. I extracted the .rar again and it came with. Then I just transferred saved user data folder and was able to enjoy the ending.

  15. The music at the title screen is AMAZINg, just saying c:
    By the way, thanks for the translate and download ^o^

  16. DENGEKI STRYKER is coming out soon, the story looked a bit weird but its overdrive so im sure it will rock ! 😀

  17. Oh fucks sake. The game came up with an error just as I was reaching the ending of Riho’s route and kicked me out of the game. Something about “Thread No. [1] Program [scrgp3._bp] and some random giberish.

    So fucking pissed. It’s the last route I need to complete, and I can’t even see how it frigging ended. Especially pissed because that took fucking ages to sit through and I can’t see how it ended. Someone spoil it for me. I got up to the bit where he was on the plane and he noticed the truck speeding.

    1. Um they play the song they wrote together outside on the runway and he gets his violin and plays it inside the airplane then say ill definitly be back this band is my home the end

  18. Does anyone actually have 100% CG? I have a few images missing, and I have no idea how to obtain them seeing as I’ve completed every route… I missing one on the end of page four and a few in the middle of page 5. Someone enlighten me?

    1. So on page 4 is Riho route actually page 4 and 5 consist of most of Riho route so im guessing you havent done her route?

    2. yea definitely sound like you didn’t actually fully finish the riho route. the last CG the last one on page 4 is no big loss since its just a picture of shoicihi sitting in a chair. the other chunk are all concert shots from the “Stardust Fest” which is also part of riho’s route.

      I honestly dunno how you could not get them since yer ability to effect the plot is pretty much gone by that point and the remaining story is set in stone

  19. Well everyone with a problem its hard to figure out how to solve someones problem when you dont have the problem to begin with. I downloaded the game via torrent and it seems to be fine for me with no problems whatsoever, but those that have encountered numerous problems best of luck in fixing them.

    1. I downloaded the torrent too but I still can’t get it to work.I think it’s my video card. My video card doesn’t work at all but I still play most except for lighting warrior raidy.

    2. Also might be stupid to ask but do you think that you could do a video showing how to get it to work like from a fresh download of it cause i’m sure that could help lots of people such as my self.

  20. Wow…when I looked at it for the first time I thought: OK, just another musical vn with a bit h-stuff… but this one was just epic. The artwork was pretty good ( especially the h-cg´s) the story pretty impressive ( I am from Germany and studied in Japan medicine as an exchange student and I can tell ya…this country is just incredible). I´m a fan of rock music too, that´s why I liked this Novel from the beginning. The h-stuff…incredible. Music too. A big + for the soundtrack and because if someone wants to hear it again, he just has to select it in the main screen. Last, as some people mentioned above, Shouichi was heroic,still playing his violine after he got stabbed.

    Summary: A must-have for J-Rock fans and those who like extensive storylines with lesser choices than other vn´s (like Kara no Shoujo).

    Thanks for this contribution admin!

  21. Need help
    Just finished downloading from torrent and game does not start, I get an error message in japanese

  22. PLease re-upload using MF again, i can’t use DA links in my country. Please understand admin

  23. Admin, if you can get a hand on Natsu no Ame-Summer Rain…would you be so cind and upload it here? Thanks!!

  24. I downloaded this when it came out, but I just played it. And I can say, I’m sorry that I didn’t play it earlier. This truly was a fulfilling game and I truly had tears at the end of each ending. Wonderful masterpiece.
