Sunday's Super Date!

Another very nice date with Rinko today. She was wearing very nice, smart clothes when I met her at the station:

And even had very sweet clothes underneath, with a kind of green theme today! We stopped for a snack at the Japanese Sweet Shop.

Then it was off to the Bay Area for the main part of our date. The ocean looks so beautiful in the background of these next few shots, as we were strolling along the beach, and the clouds remind me of the "Air" anime series...

We dated at the Observation Deck (no photos), then went back to the nearby Sushi Restaurant for lunch.

Rinko was very happy, because she loves the food there. We ordered these cute sushi rolls, which were served on a traditional wooden plate. Very sweet.

But this was a VERY extended date today. Rinko came back to my place first, where we listened to some music and enjoyed a game of TwinBee together. Then I went back to her place, where we sat on her bed and kissed.

And then I was able to grab an Intimate Photo session with Rin-chan, and actually managed to grab some nice photos for once with her bed in the background.

We finished off a very happy day with a short date at Winning Burger.

It's not long now until the released of "New LovePlus+", which is going to be very interesting after more than two years of playing this 3DS version. I've also ordered a couple of extra things from Japan - a nice blue case for my 3DSLL, plus the Official Guide Book for the new game. I really hope that I love this version as much as the current one (with all its bugs and faults), and that I'll still be writing this blog every day in two years' time!

Saturday's Study Date

Rink met me this morning for the usual walk to school, and the day looked promising - nice blue sky.

I grabbed a shot of her waving goodbye on her way to class. You can see in this photo (if you look closely) the blue ring I gave Rinko a few weeks ago. She's worn it almost every day, so I guess she really likes it. The blue ring I gave her for our one month anniversary (which was much more expensive), however, I've never seen her wear. Hm.

In the afternoon, I'd planned to go to the Shopping Mall to get a present for tomorrow's date...but Rinko cornered me and demanded another study date. When this happens (just before the exams), whatever session you've booked gets cancelled in favour of study.

Thanks to my Guide Book, I passed the first three questions and had a sweet treat for a reward...

When I passed the second set of questions, Rinko rewarded me with a change of outfit - but she chose the cheerleader outfit again. Maybe because it made me so crazy last time??? I would have preferred to see her wear something different, though...

And the next four shots are from the Intimate Photo Session, after passing the third lot of study questions. I'm getting much better at using the camera during these sessions, and I'm now able to get a full 360 degree view of Rinko's bedroom. I've never noticed this weird poster on her wall...

And the final three shots are interesting, just because it's rare to have the chance to shoot Rinko from the side or back without her turning around towards the camera.

And that looks like a pretty decent hi-fi system in the background, too...

And you can't tell by looking at the next couple of shots, but it snowed tonight in Towano for the first time! I find that snow in New LovePlus creates a very romantic mood. Rinko seems pretty out of it in the first shot, though...

We stopped into good old Dixies for a snack and some conversation. It's weird that no matter how many times I take Rinko to Dixies, Nene is never around. It would be interesting sometimes if the other two girls showed up in particular situations (but it could also be awkward, I guess).

I'm looking forward to my date with Rinko at Amou Mountain tomorrow. I'm hoping there will be snow - lots of snow!

Second Study Date

After my poor performance at yesterday's Study Date, Rinko seemed concerned when she met me this morning to walk to school. I had a feeling there might be another Study Date this afternoon...

Good news, though - at lunch time, the Bento made a welcome return.

And I was right about that Study Date. Rinko ambushed me again and almost dragged me back to her place to study some more. You gotta love this game!

Fortunately with my Guide Book at my side, I was able to ace the first three questions in Mathematics (that is, I cheated). Rinko rewarded me with a nice dessert...

And after I aced the second round of questions, she changed into a Towano High cheerleader outfit for me. This was really cute.

Rinko was pretty shy about wearing the cheerleader uniform, so I made up for it by kissing her a lot. Another time you can't say no to your girlfriend is when she's wearing a cheerleader uniform. T_T Nobody is that strong...

You know, Rinko - sitting next to me on your bed, alone in your room, wearing a cheerleader uniform is...well...kinda DISTRACTING. This was supposed to be a study date, after all.

Anyways, after I aced the final three questions, I was rewarded with the Intimate Photo Session, where you can move around in full 3D and take photos of your girlfriend. Rinko changed again - but this time, just into her usual sports uniform, which is not so exciting.

At least the Intimate Photo Session is a chance to take photos of your girlfriend from unusual angles (to say the least) - but not all of them are entirely successful.

I'm looking forward to hitting the Flea Markets this Sunday, because the special winter-only Premium Date tickets will be on sale. In the meantime, I still working hard to unlock all the date locations and special features in the Mountain Area.

Super Culture Fest!

When I opened the game just before 8:00 am this morning, I was still in the Library with Rinko. She was fast asleep at the table, and woke up slowly as I spoke to her.

All four time slots of the day were booked out as special events. Rin-chan and I were both very sleepy at the start of the Culture Festival. The hallway of Towano High looked very colourful in the background.

We went and checked out some of the different stalls and activities - but I think the main thing on Rinko's mind (and mine, after night being trapped in the Library) was food.

Fortunately there was a stall selling Chinese pork buns (I think). Rinko finally looked happy...

And of course, she was happy to share some with me.

Mmm, that bun was definitely a heart-starter.

Next, we checked out a band concert in the school hall.

And then, we dropped into what appeared to be a cafe (these are always popular events at Japanese school culture festivals). But then, after answering a question, I had the option to do a photo shoot with Rinko at various locations.

In my shoot, Rinko appeared as a kinda milk maid at a farm in the countryside. This played out like the Intimate Photo Session you sometimes get on dates - but I was only able to take one photo, for some reason.

In the afternoon, because Rinko and I are both Library Committee members, we had to take our turn helping out with a display in the Library.

At the very end of the Culture Festival, I met Rinko in a darkened classroom. She was sad that the festival was over, and wanted me to kiss her for good luck.

All in all, it was a memorable day - even if I couldn't date or go out the whole Sunday, at least I had plenty of opportunities to kiss Rin-chan and spend some quality time with her.
