The recent status of the two bands
The story of "DEARDROPS" Three years ago, Shoichi returned to Germany to continue his violin career, while the other members continued practicing and performing in Japan. Most members of the Second Literature Club of Kira☆Kira are already working, with only Kirari active overseas as a singer. Kirari and Shoichi co-starring on TV make Ritsuho face her goals anew.
A future shared on stage
The story revolves around the idea of the Second Arts Club and DEARDROPS sharing the stage, and the official team positions it as an IF story depicting a shared future. The short game was a precursor to the 5th anniversary live event in 2011; The game's later epilogue opens after the performance, allowing fictional shows to echo real events.
Production
Fujimaru drew the CG for the new event and redrew the character illustrations for the Second Literary Club members, Reiji Nakura wrote the script, and the music was produced by milktub and STUDIO696. Most of the characters are voiced. The download version was released in advance on September 30, 2011, and the physical edition was released on November 25.
