Caution: This FAQ is based on the Windows version of
Canary -Kono omoi wo uta ni nosete-. The two most visible
difference between the Windows version and the Dreamcast
version are:
First, the Windows version (developed by FrontWing)
contains pornography, and the Dreamcast version
(co-developed by NEC Interchannel) doesn't.
Second, the Dreamcast version has an extra heroine,
Hoshino Mai. This means the Dreamcast version has more CG,
events, and endings.
FYI, I don't have a Dreamcast.

2.1 1ST IMPRESSION
This Ecchi game is on two CD-ROMs. The first CD
installs the game. The second CD runs the game.
The game doesn't allow the player to choose the
install size. After installation, the game occupies about
579 MB.
The game resolution is typically 640x480.
The game has an OP movie (76 MB) with an OP song.
At first glance, IMO the chara designs look a bit like
Soreyuke! Uchuu Senkan Yamamoto Youko, because of the
colour (green) and shape of the main heroine's eyes, the
space between her eyes, and her tiny nose. But then many
other recent Windows games also have this AIC style of chara
design. A friend said the Canary chara designs look like
Gainax.
The main menu has a Music Mode and a CG Mode.
In Music Mode, the player can play 32 tracks of BGMs
and songs. Reportedly, each heroine has a different ending
song.
In CG Mode, the player can view 89 CG, AFTER the
player has seen those CG during the game. Each heroine has
six to 20 CG.
The game has 10 save game slots.
When the player starts a new game, the game asks for
the protagonist's family name and personal name in kanji
and furigana. The protagonist's default name is Hazumi
Youhei.
(Again, I lazily input "Shinjou Hayato" in kanji
and katakana, named after the lucky Sotsugyou Crossworld
protagonist.)
*SPOILER ALERT*
The player can load or save at almost anytime, but
can't load or save at a multiple choice node. Worse, some
multiple choice nodes have a time limit, as in Sakura
Taisen. The player can load or save at the message just
before a multiple choice node.
If the player doesn't choose an answer before the time
limit ends, the game advances with one of the answers
pre-chosen by the game programmers.
The game is practically full voice. The heroines have
voices. The protagonist haven't. The other male chara also have voices.
The Canary drama CDs and Canary for Dreamcast
reportedly (according to SION han, who runs MannaKAHO
Kurabu, a Mannaka Yukiko fan page) have the same cast of
seiyuu (voice actors).
(I'm not certain the Windows version and the Dreamcast
version have the same seiyuu, but I don't think they have
the same seiyuu.)
The game begins on Monday, 20 May.
(Incidentally, 20 May 2001 was a Monday, but 20 May
2000 was a Saturday.)
The protagonist Hazumi Youhei is a High Two student, or
second-last year of high school in North American terms.
Youhei, his sister, and his parents have just moved from
Tokyo to Kotohira, a rural town in Kagawa Prefecture in
Shikoku. They and the heroines of the game are all
musicians. For instance, Youhei plays the guitar.
(I'll briefly describe the heroines later.)
FYI, Kotohirachou is a real town in Kagawa Prefecture
in Shikoku, and is famous for the Konpiraguu, a Shintou
shrine.
(Back in Sentimental Graffiti 1, I wasn't and isn't a
Sugihara Manami fan, so I don't know much about Kagawa
Prefecture.)
After the first few days (game time), the player can choose a spot in
Kotohira for Youhei to go. The Kotohira in Canary is understandably and
slightly different from the real Kotohira. The spots in the Kotohira in
Canary are:
- Kotohira Shoutengai, the shopping street in downtown Kotohira where
the idol Megumi "lives".
- Shinjou Gakki, the music instrument shop where Youhei's cousin Chiaki
lives.
- Kotohira Gakuen, Youhei's high school.
- Irorian, an udonya or noodle restaurant where Youhei's classmate Mika
lives.
- Jitaku, where Youhei and his sister Eri live.
- Tera, a Buddhist temple where Youhei's classmate Ryouta lives.
3. SOLUTION
(Note: This section is incomplete and under construction.)
The abbreviations used in this section:
* The multiple choice node has a time limit.
1-2 On a certain game day, at the first (1)
multiple choice node, I chose the second (2)
answer.
The answer reveals one of the specified
heroine's CG in the CG Mode.
Actually, I'm considering re-writing the below
solution(s) in chart form without using Excel, so it's
easier for the player to simultaneously aim for multiple
heroines.
I don't think the Windows version and Dreamcast version
of this game have the same seiyuu, but based on the
Dreamcast version seiyuu, I'm tending towards the two
heroines Saeki Ayana and Chigasaki Megumi. Ayana and
Megumi's seiyuu are respectively Mannaka Yukiko (former SG
Girl) and Yukino Satsuki.
3.1 SAEKI AYANA
MAY 20
* Wakatta, nani ga hoshinda?
(If the player Time Over this node, Youhei unpacks his
belongings by himself.)
RONGU [long] no shoujo ni...
* Onegai shimasu.
(If the player Time Over this node, Chiaki telephones
Jun for Youhei anyway.)
MAY 21
MAY 22
* ... DASA
(If the player Time Over this node, Mika abuses Youhei
anyway.)
* Shikata nai na, tsurete itte yaru ka.
(If the player Time Over this node, Youhei takes Eri to
the welcome party anyway.)
MAY 23
Ganbarimasu.
MAY 24
Sore ga zenzen...
MAY 27
Ayana wo sasotte kaeru.
MAY 28
(The player can now choose a spot in Kotohira for
Youhei to go.)
Kotohira Shoutengai.
* Sankousho wo toru.
(If the player Time Over this node, Youhei takes an
adult magazine. If the player Time Over the second node, the
protagonist keeps reading the magazine.
In the Dreamcast version, Ayana's skirt completely
covers her underwear.)
MAY 29
(Eri's wake up call has a cat (nekomimi) version and a
maid version.)
Kotohira Gakuen.
(If you're aiming for Chiaki, go to Shinjou Gakki. If
you're aiming for Megumi, go to Kotohira Shoutengai.)
Yamu made matsu to suru ka.
(If Youhei really, really wants to go home before the
rain stops, Youhei has to choose that answer several times
before the game allows him to go home.)
Koutei.
Rouka.
Bushitsu.
Koutei.
(The objective is to wander in the school until Youhei
automatically returns to the bushitsu (club room).)
(The results of the three choices are the same: Mika
abuses Youhei. If Youhei chooses the first answer, Mika's CG
stays on-screen. If Youhei chooses the second answer, the
screen becomes black. If Youhei chooses the third answer,
Mika's CG stays on-screen, but the event quickly ends.)
MAY 30
(Whether Youhei goes to Kotohira Gakuen or Kotohira
Shoutengai, he meets Ayana. I chose the shopping street.)
Kotohira Shoutengai.
MAY 31
(If Youhei goes home, the game reveals one of Eri's CG (panchira).
If Youhei goes to Kotohira Gakuen, he meets Ayana. I
chose Kotohira Shoutengai, so that Youhei meets Megumi. If
he goes to Kotohira Shoutengai and doesn't meet Megumi, and
you want him to meet Megumi, reload.)
Kotohira Shoutengai.
Na, nan no you desu ka?
(If Youhei chooses "NA, NANPA desu ka?", Megumi
seriously abuses him with her Megumi Quiz anyway.)
JUNE 1
1-1. Hikigatari shiteru onna ni yarareta.
* 2-1. Suki wo mite osoikakaru.
(Youhei and Ryouta street-fight with Megumi.)
JUNE 2
1-3. Mazui.
JUNE 4
Kotohira Shoutengai.

post them.)
