Before adapted into a manga and anime series, Kiniro no Corda began as a PC game in 2003. After the PC game boomed, the publisher of the game - KOEI JAPAN released other versions of the game for the Sony PlayStation2 and PlayStationPortable consoles. In 2006, the second installment of the game is released under the title Kiniro no Corda 2, with added characters and more complex storylines and game strategy. The game created a frenzy among teenagers as other OTOME GAMES or Reversed-Harem games were being published all around Japan, including Angelique and Harukanaru Toki no Naka de from KOEI, Hiiro no Kakera and Fushigi Yuugi from IDEA/DESIGN FACTORY. KOEI made the game series into an anime with the same title, and later on, the manga, which is drawn by the original character/story maker KURE YUKI / YUKI KURE. Again, the anime and manga created a boom and KOEI created the last installment titled Kiniro no Corda 2-Encore, which is probably the end of the series. The games (Kiniro no Corda 2 and Kiniro no Corda 2-Encore) are created for Sony PlayStation2 consoles and are not being published outside Japan since the language is in Japanese. But the anime and manga has been spread out and licensed throughout the globe in several languages.
The story of the game revolves around Hino Kahoko who goes to a music school, SEISHO GAKUEN. Even though it's a music school, the school also accepts non-musical students, so the students are divided into GENERAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT and MUSIC DEPARTMENT. Each group has its own classrooms and teachers and uniforms. Kahoko is in the Gen-Ed Dept and she can't play music.

:: KINIRO NO CORDA 1 ::
One day while she was running late for school, she met a music fairy (called
FATA) named
LiLi. Lili was looking for someone to test with his new invention, a magical violin that can help the player play any music score beautifully. And whoever Lili chose would be included in the upcoming
MUSIC CONCOURSE (Contest). He was looking for a Music Dept student, but instead, he found Kahoko. It's said that whoever can see the Fata is at the same music level as the Fata itself, so Lili was sure that Kahoko is the one for him, because Kahoko could see him! Unfortunately, Kahoko knows nothing about music... So in the game, the player must increase her
MUSIC SKILL,
SONG PROFICIENCY SKILL and her
POPULARITY...!! Moreover, she has to compete with 5 guys and 1 girl from the same school. The goal of the game is to make Kahoko one of the winner in the concourse (any place is acceptable but the LAST place!), and to get ONE of her rivals to be her best friend or boyfriend!
