Go! Go! Nippon! (Visual Novel)	comment	One of the very few examples of a Visual Novel made by a Japanese producer specifically for the foreign markets, Go! Go! Nippon! ~My First Trip to Japan~ is Exactly What It Says on the Tin: you play the part of an Occidental Otaku who comes to Japan for the first time and is greeted by two cute sisters (Makoto and Akira Misaki) who take him sightseeing around the country's most famous landmarks (mostly in the Tokyo area, which to be fair is very expansive). In the span of one week he'll learn many things about the country's customs and culture, and maybe also find love...Despite being made by Overdrive, an established eroge maker, the game is not one of them. It's more of a crash course on contemporary Japan tailored to otaku tastes, and thus making use of several anime, manga, and VN tropes. It contains both English and Japanese language, but without any voice acting.The game was made in 2011 and became available on Steam's Greenlight service in 2014. In 2015 the game received an Updated Re-release powered by the Unity engine, which almost doubled its contents and added more polish such as animated sprites and HD widescreen graphics. Another update was released in 2016 which added even more content and an improved wallet system.In July 2021, a YouTube channel called "Go! Go! Nippon! Live with You!" debuted, featuring Makoto and Akira as Virtual YouTubers. A stated goal for this channel was that if it reached 10,000 subscribers a new game would begin development, which was accomplished on April 23, 2022.On October 12, 2022, the day after Japan dropped the visa requirements for foreign travelers entering the country (which had been in place since late 2021 as a result of the country entering another lockdown as a result of COVID), it was announced that the "Live with You!" project would be shutting down on November 5. An archive to a stream where the sisters talk about this can be found here. Despite this, the new game is apparently still on.

Go! Go! Nippon! (Visual Novel) / int_2a7e7af1	comment	Limited Wardrobe: When at home the sisters always wear the same clothes, and when taking you sightseeing they wear the standard outfit of Japanese tour guides over them. The only time they wear something else is when the destination is a film studio, and they get dressed in ancient Japanese clothing.

Go! Go! Nippon! (Visual Novel) / int_2f52c0af	comment	Accidental Pervert: How could a game made for otaku not feature this? It's limited to two brief scenes in the beginning, where the protagonist walks in on, respectively, Makoto after a shower and Akira taking off her pajamas in the morning. The former remains mostly unfazed, but Akira doesn't take it well...

Go! Go! Nippon! (Visual Novel) / int_5ea9e6f3	comment	Edutainment Game: Sort of. One purpose of the game is to learn useful info about Japan such as transportation fares, geography, history and etiquette in a package that makes learning it much more fun and natural than looking up the information manually (and with the Google Maps feature, gives you context to locations that you might not otherwise have just by using Google Maps on its own).

One is unable to cook, while the other is an excellent chef. On the flip side, one is bilingual (fluent in both Japanese and English) and the other... is not. As noted above, the latter is downplayed in their VTuber forms.

Go! Go! Nippon! (Visual Novel) / int_9f81bd21	comment	Stealth Parody: Of you, the player. The Hardcore Gaming 101 article for this game argues that, by presenting the player character as a nerdy Manchild who gets overly excited for everything from toilets to maid cafes, and having him - by necessity, mind you - not knowing anything about Japan despite being fluent in Japanese (implying that all he ever learned comes from manga and anime), the makers are indirectly poking fun to their foreign audience. In other words, This Loser Is You.

It's Exactly What It Says on the Tin, but with additional erotic content compared to the original. It was made by American game developers DEVGRU-P, who specialized in making animesque parody titles. Despite being a comedy, though, there's a good amount of research on North Korea, just like its source of inspiration. Here's the game's page on Steam.

During all this time, he believed her and her sister to be boys because of their names. Somehow, in all that time, apparently no pictures or social media accounts with details were ever shared, and no pronouns were ever used.

He seems mostly unimpressed when facing great temples or landmarks, but the sight of the Shinkansen makes him rave like a madman. Humorously, at one point Akira tells him◊ to stop being amazed at everything. As this HG101 piece argues, it's almost a mockery of the players themselves (see Stealth Parody below).
