Involving fans in its Sakura Note promotions, developer Audio Inc. wants you to send in wistful photos from your childhood, which the studio’s staff will review and potentially feature on the adventure game’s site.

The promotion is apt considering how heavily Sakura Note seems to rely on nostalgia, though not necessarily our nostalgia. I’m guessing you probably didn’t spend your childhood growing up in Japan, watching the Metal Hero Series and receiving thousand-year candy.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t take part in this campaign! The example image Audio Inc. posted (see above) recalls winter sunsets seen while riding your bike home from school, which isn’t exclusive to Japan.

To enter, send a photo to sakuranote@mmv.jp (under 1MB), with the following info presented in this format before November 5th, when the game releases in Japan:

1. Image title
2. Town / location of the photo
3. Your nickname
4. Your memory in under 100 characters

Make sure to review the Japanese page for more details!

Oh, and in case you missed it, Audio Inc. recently posted a machine-translated English message indicating an interest in seeing Sakura Note localized eventually:

“This game has taken a lot of Japanese original cultural manners. However, to what wind is this work accepted by fans in the world where the culture is different?

It is interested there very much. We will make localize if there is a possibility as a business.

We will inform you as a news flash by this blog when that time comes. Hereafter, it wishes a happy session to continue between you and us of the fan.”

Yay!
