At a time when "mobile games" were not as popular as they are today, "galgame" had a lot of discussion in the two-dimensional context, remember that galgame stickers have the saying of "twelve artifacts", which is a series of games that are easy to impact all aspects of the soul of players who have not been in the world, and "Song of Saya" is one of them.
The script of "Song of Saya" was created by Xuan Xu, and it is also a work that adds to the name of Lao Xu's "warrior of love", although many people call "Saya" a pure love game, but in fact, the content is quite curious, and full of moral dilemmas:
After the male protagonist underwent a car accident operation, everything in front of him was a "rotten piece of meat", only "Saya", who is an ugly monster in the eyes of normal people, is the only beautiful girl in the eyes of the male protagonist. Such a love story.
The English-speaking region prefers to refer to these games as "visual novels", and the English-speaking publisher of "Song of Saya" is called JAST, and this company is the protagonist of today.
On April 9th, JAST announced the release of a fumo doll in the image of Saya, which attracted a lot of popularity among related enthusiasts.
ふもふも (fumofumo) is an onomatopoeia for the fur of a plush animal, and here fumo is the agreed name for a certain type of doll. The "Oriental Project" fan group should be more familiar with this kind of doll, at first there were only Oriental dolls, and after the great acclaim, there were also different works of fumo.
Fumo has always been one of the most beloved things in the house, and (ᗜˬᗜ) has a representative facial expression.

It seems that this Saya fumo is also very popular, and a day after JAST officially launched the Saya doll, the official said that the sales of Saya fufu in 28 hours exceeded the total sales of visual novels in the 28 years since the company was founded.
"We announced that we have changed our name to [Dave's Fumo Mall], and we will always focus on Saya Fumo from now on." JAST officials said. (Dave, pen name Nosebleed, holds a key position at JAST)
Of course, the name change must be ridiculous.,The game will continue to be released in the future.,And JAST doesn't seem to have any plans to expand Saya fumo production at the moment.,On April 14th,JAST posted that these fumas are worth $62 million.,So according to a fumo $60 calculation,They sold 1 million fumo.。
This number is still a bit outrageous, and Hand Tan Ji is also more skeptical, but Dave is "sorry" for such suspicions, and it seems that he has indeed sold so much, I'm afraid that there is a rich man behind him.
But one thing should be certain.,That is, Saya's fumo did sell a lot.,It's not difficult to understand.,It's not difficult to understand that Saya dolls sell more than games.,Like Talking about Hime.,Many people play "Saya Song" is a pirated version.,There may be very few people who make up tickets because of the game remake.,On the contrary, it may be the sale of fumo.,It's really more attractive.。
Visual novels, or galgame, if it is still according to the previous sales method, it is indeed difficult to gain a firm foothold in the market competition, it seems that the official staff of JAST said on Reddit: "Visual novels are good, but what's worse is Lifan, basically everyone looks at Lifan as pirated." ”
If there is no shock caused by "Song of Saya" to young players, there will be no love for the characters, but galgame, how far can it go?
