A "Kanon" goods collection shared by "YYR" on their website "Komischer Kerle" in the early 2000s. Their site also contains an in-depth guide on official "Kanon" products with photos & details!

Sometimes I think about the nameless innkeeper from "Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception" & wonder why they gave her portraits even though she serves no narrative purpose...

yet... 🤔

It's been a long road, but Ys vs Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga is finally out today.

Thank you for every message, every word of support, and for your patience.

We promised 2025 and we kept that promise.

You might really like Gurumin! It's on 3DS (digital only tho) and is a cutesy 3D action platformer made by Falcom!

"Neko na Kankei" is a galge for PS1 made by Victor Interactive Software with a twist. In the day, you bond with heroines as a human but at night, you turn into a cat! As a cat, you are given a chance to overcome shyness while in turn see the "true", private side of a heroine.

Ohoo I found the "Kanon Demonstration Demo" on a disc from 1999 before the game's release. The demo was included with "Kanowo Magazine" in 2000 & has art differences from the final game.

I don't think there's anything new in this ver. but I'm still excited to have found it! 👀

"Noemi Itou Chan FC" was a fan club created by "DRA" in 1998 dedicated to the popular "With You ~Mitsumeteitai~" character "Noemi Itou". The site had amassed more than 500 members before closing on 11/2/2001.
