Saya no Uta

After a traffic accident, Sakisaka Fuminori’s perception of the world changes: everything he sees becomes blood and guts, people’s looks and voices seem like monsters, and food that normally appealed to him tastes disgusting. As he contemplates suicide in the hospital, Fuminori meets a beautiful girl among the flesh-covered walls, who introduces herself as Saya.

for the life of me i cant figure out how to implement the english patch, i just keep getting a black screen after the the age warnings (in english) :/

Change locale to Japanese ( yes, even if you use English patch, you need Japanese locale - that's how game files are stored internally). Refer to FAQ from this website for instructions.

I saw this game on Encyclopedia Dramatica. Looked cool, tried it out.

Two hours later, I am scarred for life.

Why did I inflict myself such damage?

This visual novel will change your life and not for the better.

Nothing prepared you for this.

Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts dude. I've heard a lot that this game is real disgusted and depressing before but I still thought I wanna try it out.Now, after hearing your sincere word, I knew this game is real devil and I should avoid it at all cost.In fact,I'm real easily got depressed by VN story.

So,thanks for the warning or advice or whatever dude.

Saten20 Jan 2013Reply

i tried runing by the CD installer,it runed ok,but the texts dont appear,can someone help me?

arfixon08 Feb 2013Reply

You need to change your pc to Japan Locale. Yes you do even though you used the english patch.

You can refer to the FAQ on this site or google it because it's different method for different window.

As for me, I just go to help and support in my pc and type 'change locale' in search bar. Nice and quick.

IS There any H-scenes in this vn?

arfixon08 Feb 2013Reply

YES. But beware, this is very bloody and gore. In short, the story is totally MIND F*CKING or in english,F*CKING depressing.

arfixon08 Feb 2013Reply

So I'd kindly recommend you not to play this VN if you're easily influenced by VN story like me. But of course the decision is up to you.

is it just me, or is it that the download link for the english patch is not working? whenever i try to download it, it says that there is no webpage for it. reupload?

Silvz05 May 2013Reply

It's just you, but, there's a reason...
at least with me, when I try to download 3 or more files at downloadani, as a free user, I have the same problem. I have to wait one of the first 2 to end, so it works perfect :3

?15 Mar 2013Reply

what now? after i installed the english patch the screen will be just pure black? what do i do now????

Soda19 Mar 2013Reply

For anyone with BLACK SCREEN: Very simple. After downloading those 2 files. extract the files and the Saya No uta folder pops up. You Mount that very folder!

bababaab25 Mar 2013Reply

saya no uta is just not working for me no matter how many times i download, i don't understand what you mean by mounting a folder. that doesn't make sense, you can't mount a folder.
only iso's
even if i use japanese local it will not work, i only get a black screen after 3 images.

eroge27 Mar 2013Reply

i have the same problem with bababaab..

jdle28 Mar 2013Reply

To solve the black screen problem

1.Change the locale language into Japanese (refer to the FAQ in this site) and restart your computer
2.Extract the the 2 files in same folder
3.Mount the ".img(disc image)" or the ".cue"
Note: If you don't have any mounter I suggest that you download one... Poweriso or Daemon tools.. or just refer to the FAQ if you want instructions
4.Install
5.After installing, extract the english patch to its destination folder usually in:
"\Program Files\Nitroplus\沙耶の唄"
and replace the contents
6.Done :)

Caliburnus13 May 2013Reply

I did all this and I still get a black/blank screen. I'm also able to play the untranslated version perfectly fine so I don't know where to look for the problem.

I was able to fix it by going into the nitroplus folder where 沙耶の唄 was installed, then copying/pasting all the files where I had the rar's and the english translation stuff at. After I replaced everything that it wanted me to it worked. Hope this helps someone before they give up.

Kinaro26 Jul 2014Reply

Thanks! You really helped me!

azurearsenic07 Dec 2014Reply

uh... the .cue isn't showing up for me... and how do I even mount a .img? I have windows 8 by the way.

Vexxed Reaper02 Jan 2015Reply

Thanks for the that but what you need to do is get daemon tools lite and mount the CCD file. Then go onto the SnU BD-ROM Drive that will appear after that, then basically everything you've said. Also I went with game download when it came to the installation bit.

Alucard07 Apr 2013Reply

Probably one of the best games I ever had the pleasure to play.

This game as very few choice's... but they are so hard to choose from...

Nitro+ FTW!

Cody28 Jul 2013Reply

Hey, I finally got the english patch to merge and all that junk, but now the text is whack. Stuff like, "H%&ey#fl#esh" and sometimes completely illegible, can someone tell me how to fix this?

admin29 Jul 2013Reply

This is normal. Prologue is using such nonsense characters to represent MC's warped senses.

Haruto30 Jul 2013Reply

The game doesn't display the text. Can someone tell me how to fix this plz?

QM23 Sep 2013Reply

I'm a female in my 20's.

I first heard about this game just out of high school and researched its plot/screenshots through a few sources (including wikipedia). Both the storyline and artwork seemed very creative and interesting, but I forgot about it over the years... Until a few months ago.

Downloaded the soundtrack first. I love it; 3 or 4 tracks in particular (Song of Saya II & Sin are my favorites).

I finally came across this page a few weeks ago, downloaded the game and finished one of the various endings. WOW. JUST WOW.

I really don't mind the gore, because to me, it isn't overly "visually" graphic; The music, the voice actors, the text... all of these make the game creepy, disturbing and emotional. I love how you are able to read the thoughts of each character; their hope, desperation, despair, thoughts of insanity. It really sucks me into the game and makes me feel for each character. I never once felt like vomiting, but there were times I did want to hide under a blanket with the lights on.

Anyway, I took a short break, but I'm replaying it for another ending! Song of Saya is very entertaining for those who don't mind disturbing storylines.

Sab24 Sep 2013Reply

I extracted all stuff to the same folder. Installed the gam eand all, was working in japanese. So then I try to open the .exe that came with the english patch's various things. I get this error/failure. I've really no idea what that is lol. Any ideas?

aGuyInNeedOfHelp14 Oct 2013Reply

hey, does anyone know how to fix that the log automaticly opens and goes upwards/backwards? i really want to enjoy this game but its making it impossible.

Person16 Jan 2014Reply

It will load up and everything, though I only get a ton of gibberish, and it won't work when I try applocale. How should I go about fixing this?
