Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and for the title because we have Harumade Kururu release delayed along with Visual Arts announced Air exact release date, I decided to make a reference one of Air's OST, Summer Lights, by changing 'Summer' into 'Spring' (Because Harukuru is represent spring), so we have 'Spring Lights' as the title. Anyway, for this week obviously the notable news are both Harukuru delay and Air English version announcement, although we also have Shiravune released Primal Hearts duology on Steam. Overall, this week is a plain one, and let's see what I can write in regard of it.

Sekai decided to delay Harukuru release to the unknown date because they suddenly find the issues that need to be worked on. While admittedly encounter big issues before the release is certainly not new (ie Sakura Celebration), I do find the issue that crop up in Harukuru is a bit too convenient, especially with Sekai still negotiating with the license holder regarding of the 18+ assets, and not to mention the staffs post the xeet celebrating the release one day before February 14th (Which admittedly also has a layer of bad planning). Regardless, I have nothing to say other than hopefully Sekai can resolve the issue in Harukuru and finally manage to release it, either in the very near future or sometimes later. Of course, it would be better if they already manage to get the right for 18+ assets by the release time.

Shiravune did release Primal Hearts duology on Steam and some other stores, so feel free to get the duology if you've been waiting for Steam release just because getting it on Johren is too cumbersome. They also have plan to release Mashimaro on Steam, although there's still no release date for those yet (The link to the Steam store). Nekonyan did open the pre-order for Koichoco, so you can now order the game if you've been decided to get it from Nekonyan just because it would be easier to install. Like I say earlier, Visual Arts announced Air release, although obviously we already have it translated for 10 years so to me it would be redundant release. That said, if you want to get the Steam version of it in its store, then you can note the exact release date with it will be released on March 5th later.

I know the progress for Sakura no Uta is still at halfway translated, although I figure I should inform the detail here. For the detail of Sakura no Uta translation, Shizuku's route is at 85% translated, Zypressen & Marchen (Rina's route) is at 1% translated, Chapter 5 is at 93% translated, and Chapter 6 is at 12% translated. For the reminder, Sakura no Uta has six chapters with Chapter 3 was dedicated to the character routes (Rin, Makoto, Rina, and Shizuku). Lastly, we have Studio Frisay finished Ushieta editing work with the remaining works now are some miscellaneous stuffs before the patch ready to releases, with those works are image editing (Including UI), video editing, QC, and play-testing with it to find the possible remaining bugs. In any case, at least it mean the wait for Ushieta to be available in English is almost done, so you can look forward to the patch if you've been waiting for eight years ever since it was translated by another group with said group dropped it later.

That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.
