The official Bokumono webmaster has launched her site for 
"Songs of Happiness" today. The one for "Sprite Station" is still 
being worked on though.

Songs of Happiness official Japanese web site:
http://www.bokumono.com/series/shiauta

There are lots of new pictures to see ^^ The site explains that 
the house in the village doesn't have a lot of land around it to 
grow things but it is conveniently close to the town, the house 
near the beach has small and large pieces of land, and the house 
by the river is a good choice for lots of fishing. After you 
choose your house, you get to place your TV and Bed anywhere you 
want inside of it.

There is a new mode included in the game called "Pachi Machi". 
This mode allows you to play Party Games with your friends 
(which may be why the game is for 1 to 4 players). There is also 
confirmation that the pig is a new pet, and the game will 
include characters from all versions of Harvest Moon. 

There is a Tv Commercial currently being aired in Japan for the 
upcoming release, but it is not available for download yet from 
the official site. The "Screen Shot" section and "Wallpaper" 
areas are also not completed on the site but if you check back 
in a few days you'll be able to see all of those items ;) 


Until next time!
