He is always pretty sincere about his feelings and perceptions of others, and constantly strove to better himself, not to be better than everyone else (although with the violin he admittedly wanted to be better than everyone else), but to be the best that he could be and not pull down others with his inabilities. However, he never came across as spoiled or privileged In fact he came off to me as a very humble person, never viewing himself or acting as if he were above others, and putting his all into his work at 696 and the band. Having been born into a rich family and spent quite a few years in the limelight, Shoichi tends to speak and act differently from most of the other characters. Shoichi was a very interesting and memorable character. Finally having the whole gang together, the group decides on the name DEARDROPS due to the picks each one won from 696’s vending machine…All with the name DEARDROPS sharpied on. His unnamed band first starts out with just Eiji on bass and Yayoi on guitar, but through events he meets and convinces Rimu to join as his drummer, and eventually persuades Riho to become his vocalist. After being roped into one of Eiji’s problems caused by his personality, Shoichi begins to learn the guitar under the tutelage of Yayoi to help Eiji out, but due to a series of events, Shoichi ends up sticking with the guitar and decides to form a band. It is here that the games events and story begins, with Kanade’s, his childhood friend, family offering Shoichi a place to stay and a job at Live House 696. Shoichi felt such shame and disgrace over the incident that he vowed to never again touch the violin as punishment for his transgression. Either way, this scandal caused Shoichi to leave the orchestra and subsequently Germany, moving back to Japan and his hometown despite his father disowning him due to the incident. This event is only vaguely spoken of through much of the story, and the actual details are not disclosed until near the end of Riho and Kanade’s routes It is not touched in Rimu and Yayoi’s routes.įrom my understanding, it’s never fully explained as to if Shoichi was kicked out of the orchestra due to the scandal, or left of his own volition. However, shortly before the events of the game (The game timelines that Shoichi left for Germany around 5 years prior), Shoichi became the cause of a scandal within his orchestra due to perpetrating a violent act against another member. During his time in the orchestra, Shoichi became quite renowned, being frequently referred to as the ‘Violin Prince’ and one of the few Japanese Classical players to ever garner such renown. ![]() Thus, Shoichi dropped out of school and went abroad to follow his violin career. Near the end of his middle school years, Shoichi was given the opportunity of a lifetime To go to Germany and join a famous orchestra. Since childhood, Shoichi had fervently studied and dedicated his life to the violin. His actual age is never told in the game, but from discussions in the game, I’ve deduced that Shoichi is probably in his early 20’s. Suganuma Shoichi is the protagonist of Deardrops and one of the guitarist’s in the band DEARDROPS. (There is even one where Kanade and Riho sing together) ![]() For those of you who end up loving the vocal songs of the game, fear not, for DEARDROPS has two other albums out that can be streamed from youtube featuring original songs not found in the game. ![]() Each song fits perfectly with the band and/or singer of each track, and there are quite a few memorable and catchy songs among them I was particularly fond of DEARDROPS’ “Noisy Sweet Home” and “My dear stardust”. I’m not sure if Milktub made an actual band or just contracted musicians for the songs to play as DEARDROPS) and even a couple tracks featuring Kanade as the vocalist and a cover by another character who appears later on in the game. There are a few songs that the band plays at their concerts, a different song for each characters ending (Played by the same band/musicians who did the concert songs. ![]() Sticking true to its music and band themed roots, there are several original actual songs featured in the game and are actual DEARDROPS songs As in they are the songs that DEARDROPS and the characters create and perform during the game. One of Deardrops’ major pros is its music and songs.
