Highlighting Kira Kira Post

I made a post about my favorite Visual Novel, Kira Kira, for the class two years ago when I took it. I wanted to make a new post to highlight it for anyone who has any interest in Visual Novels at all, or for those who still are uncertain about the impact and meaning they can have as a story.

The only thing I can really say about this post, is that the impacts and impressions I stated in this post two years ago is only more true now for me as time has passed.

Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo Setup


So here’s some setup instructions. First, you can find the files here.


You will also need an unzip tool to unzip the game files from my Mega link. You’ll most likely have one already, but if you do not I recommend 7zip.

These are the downloads you will need. Next, before doing any more setup, you need to switch your Operating System’s Locale from English to Japanese.

A good friend of mine, who also took the previous class, made a document for setting up Visual Novels that have complicated instructions. This is a link to this document. The setup instructions are at the very end of the document. This will go over System Locale, Japanese Keyboard, Installing and Using Daemon Tools Lite, and how to get the game running. Please note that he does not use Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo in his example, but all of the same things apply.

Now you can play Sharin no Kuni by double clicking syarin.exe.


If you get an error upon loading the game, or if anything is confusing, you can message me on Blogspot, Facebook, or by email.
