WHITE ALBUM: Memories like Falling Snow

The classic visual novel from AQUAPLUS that launched one of Japan's most beloved franchises.

WHITE ALBUM is a story of love in many forms.

Touya Fujii is an ordinary college student but for one thing:
His connection to the popular singer Yuki 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 as poignant.

CHARACTERS

An up-and-coming singer who made her debut just one year ago. She's been dating Touya 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.
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.
Having lived near Touya 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 Touya himself, but the two are just friends, of course, and nothing more...
A high school pal of Touya 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.
A random acquaintance of Touya'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...
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.
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.

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 monitor 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 they break up, and get all mixed up together,
but the days spin by all the same.
