White Album Coming Soon To Steam
TOKYO, JAPAN – JUNE 2, 2023.
Shiravune is pleased to announce that AQUAPLUS's classic visual novel WHITE ALBUM: Memories like Falling Snow is coming to Steam and Johren in the third quarter of 2023.
WHITE ALBUM was first released in 1998 by the developers behind such beloved games as Utawarerumono, To Heart, and the Dungeon Travelers series also arriving on PC next week, and would later see a likewise acclaimed sequel in WHITE ALBUM 2.
This complex and moving story explores youth and love, fame and mediocrity, and all the emotions that always attend them. The core experience is further enhanced by an exceptional soundtrack, dating sim gameplay elements, an all-star voice acting cast, and a trendsetting system of dynamic portrait animation that makes every line come to life.
This new international PC version of WHITE ALBUM: Memories like Falling Snow is based on the all-ages remake of the original WHITE ALBUM that released in Japan in 2010 on PS3 and 2012 on PC, bringing updated visuals and an additional heroine. It has been further updated to include support for modern Windows 11 systems and will soon be available for the first time for overseas fans to discover and enjoy.

STORY
WHITE ALBUM is about love in many forms. Toya Fuji is an ordinary college student but for one thing: his connection to the popular singer Yūki 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.
PROLOGUE Strains of a song drift on the cold winter wind, and outside a music shop, my feet come to a stop. The cathode-ray tubes of the TV screen pipe in a picture and I stand here on the other side, silently watching. On my way home from classes, amid the biting chill, she holds me rapt...
It's been as ordinary as every other day of my life. Ordinary, that is, in every way except one. We've clung together just as always, even since her debut. At least so far.
She leads her extraordinary life, and I live my mediocre one. People meet, and break up, and get mixed up together, but the days spin by all the same.
CHARACTERS
Yūki Morikawa (Voice: Aya Hirano)
An up-and-coming singer who made her debut just one year ago. She's been dating Toya 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.
Rina Ogata (Voice: Nana Mizuki)
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.
Haruka Kawashima (Voice: Nozomi Masu)
Having lived near Toya all her life, she's been a friend and constant presence in his life since kindergarten. Lives life at her own pace, whimsical and none too assertive, with hobbies along the lines of casual sports and lazy strolls. She's also especially fond of Toya himself, but the two are just friends, of course, and nothing more...
Misaki Sawakura (Voice: Megumi Takamoto)
A high school pal of Toya and friends who now goes to the same college, albeit one year ahead. Loves reading and cooking but tends to keep to herself, and despite her many talents, she can be surprisingly clumsy. Most people love Misaki due to her friendly personality; Yuki, in particular, sees her almost as an older sister.
Mana Mizuki (Voice: Haruka Tomatsu)
A random acquaintance of Toya's, Mana is selfish, mercurial, hostile, somewhat mischievous, and generally childish in appearance and demeanor... except sometimes, when she shows hints of more of a mature side. Seems to be spending an awful lot of time on her own...
Yayoi Shinozuka (Voice: Romi Park)
Yuki's manager. Where Yuki goes, Yayoi follows, watching over her charge and righting the course when things go wrong with as few words as possible. She's willing to remove any obstacle to Yuki's bright future as a star... even if that obstacle is her boyfriend. Inconvenient things like emotions don't hamper Yayoi's decision-making, which makes her coldly effective in her wholehearted devotion to Yuki. She comes off more like a robot than a person.
Sayoko Kisaragi (Voice: Rina Satōh)
The former leader of the popular idol group Sakurako Club, Sayoko has since "graduated" and is now working on her own solo career. She's stubborn, but surprisingly sensitive. Currently awaiting the results of the college entrance exam with trepidation.
