In this game, you explore Kamitsubaki City with Kafu and his friends, aiming to solve the mysteries lurking within the city. The mystery is solved by successfully completing “investigation checks” using the player’s parameters. Improve your parameters with “items” scattered around the city, and further increase the effects of items by combining them with “perks.” Collect items and perks within a limited time, strategically pass investigation checks, and solve the mystery. ■ The fascinating new song included in “Kamitsubaki Gakuen Newspaper Club” is now available for download.

The beeping sounds, reminiscent of retro games, are also fun…! Please give it a listen. ■Rime Tanioki “NECROMANCE” Lyrics, composition, and arrangement: Mao Sasagawa ■Rime’s comment It has a dark feel to it, but it’s a song filled with elements not present in Rima’s previous songs…!? Mao Sasagawa, the lyricist, composer, and arranger, created this song in keeping with the game’s worldview! I sing it as if I’m immersed in the game’s world myself – so please look forward to it! ■Choshu school (Harusarubi) “World Factor” Lyrics: AMAMOGU
Composition: Mr. Adventure, MILKEY Arrangement: Junichi Matsuda ■Harusaruhi Comments While singing this song, I felt like I was able to transform all of my doubts and conflicts into energy, and The lyrics of “How do you paint the future?” really left an impression on me, and I sang them while asking myself these questions. I would be happy if I could give even a little bit of strength to those who listen to my music. ■Yakawa Sekai (I World Emotion) “Kirei Nahikari” Lyrics: Ryusei Ohara Composer: Shigenobu Okawa Arrangement: Kento Asahina ■World Emotions Comments The song I sang is “Kireina Hikari.” This song, characterized by its irregular time signature, is a mysterious piece that unravels the inner workings of the “Yogawa World,” layered on multiple levels, as if to represent an endlessly expanding mental landscape. I hope you will listen carefully to what lies at her core, along with the mysterious story of this work. ■Reincarnation Here (Kouko) “Ivory” Lyrics, composition, and arrangement: Aira (Dream Monster) ■Comment from Yukihiro I sang “ivory,” the ending theme for Koko-chan’s EP. This song has a sparkling atmosphere from the beginning, but the highlight is the open feeling that comes when the chorus hits, like opening a window and letting in a breeze. There’s also a chorus towards the end, so I hope it becomes a song that you can “unintentionally hum” in your daily life. ■V.W.P “End Point” Lyrics, composition, and arrangement: Mao Sasagawa ■Official “Kamitsubaki Gakuen Newspaper Club” merchandise is now available for pre-order!
