Heroes Want Redheads: All the boys towards Hino.

Foils: Among others: Hino and Tsukimori, Tsukimori and Tsuchiura, and Hihara and Yunoki.

Of course, by the time they added Kaji and Etou to the cast, they had run out of days to work with. Hino has the 'sun' character from Sunday, Tsukimori has the 'moon' character from Monday, Hihara 'fire' from Tuesday, Shimizu 'water' from Wednesday, Yunoki 'tree' from Thursday, Kanaya 'gold' from Friday, and Tsuchiura 'earth' from Saturday.

Days Of The Week Name: The main characters all have kanji in their last names that refer to the days of the week.

The performances in the game and anime are actually pretty good.

Cast Full of Pretty Boys: Pretty much a given.

Brought Down to Normal: After the strings get fixed, the violin is still no longer magical, so Kahoko has to play fair and square (and actually train harder) from then on.

Anime of the Game: La Corda d'Oro: Primo Passo and Secondo Passo (a 2-episode OVA).

The latter one was greenlit for an anime series in the Spring 2014 Anime season, and received a continuation with the game Kiniro no Corda 4. The series proved successful and spawned various sequels: the first two ones feature Kahoko, but Kiniro no Corda 3 takes place 8 years after the first game's timeline, featuring a new protagonist joining Seisou High School: Kanade Kohinata, as well as a new set of guys (but with the old ones doing cameos).

Though all are eligible to apply, only students from the music department actually make it to the competition. The anime adaptation gives a face to the nameless protagonist in the form of Hino Kahoko, an Ordinary High-School Student who was given a magical violin by Lily, the spirit of the school.Įvery few years, the prestigious Seisou Academy holds a prominent musical competition, and only the very best students at the Academy are allowed to participate.

La Corda d'Oro (The Golden String) or Kin'iro no Corda is a series of Otome Romance Games developed by Koei with a manga and anime adaptation.
