About This Game

[h2]Introduction[/h2]

"It doesn't have to be your birthday. It doesn't have to be an anniversary — let's find a small celebration!"

This is a visual novel that lets you experience a fictional radio show called "Small Celebration."

As you read through the text, enjoy opening themes, sound effects, insert songs, and endings — a 30-minute experience that feels just like tuning into a real radio program.

[h2]Story[/h2]

Blue Hawaii Aniki, a self-proclaimed film director, suddenly finds himself making his radio debut.

Pushed around by the opportunistic staff writer Bonto Taira, he's paired with his new co-host: Cathy Koiwai, an impossibly cheerful FM radio DJ.

Together, they introduce letters from listeners sharing their "small celebrations" — modest moments of happiness. And so begins a radio show with its own unique warmth, sometimes surreal, sometimes bittersweet.
