References/parodies
0:54In the explanation, the narrator says “gyaruge […] wa jinsei de aru” (literally “galge is life”). It is possibly a reference to the phrase about the visual novel Clannad, “Clannad wa jinsei” (literally “Clannad is life”), which is the result of someone’s reply to the question “if [Clannad] is not an Eroge, then what is it?” (that reply being “jinsei… kana, meaning “life… perhaps?”).
3:54The couple on the far left are doing the “I’m flying” action scene from the film Titanic done by the 2 lead characters Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater.
4:31The time limit for the game choice options with the border filling up is from the first Sakura Taisen / Sakura Wars game.
4:57 The sound effect at the time is the sound effect which occurs in the Sakura Taisen / Sakura Wars game when the player increases their affection level with a character.
5:09The successfully confessing under the legendary sakura / cherry blossom tree leading to a fulfilled love is from the game Tokimeki Memorial.
8:39The name of the game, “PureHeart”, is a parody of the game title To Heart, also a visual novel. The poster shown is also a parody of the cover for the To Heart game. “Jun bato” (literally, “pure dove”, translated as “P.H. One”) is a parody of the nickname, “TouHato” (spelt “東鳩”, meaning “East Dove”), for the game To Heart.
14:40The game mechanic of dealing with the “bomb” before it explodes is from the game Tokimeki Memorial.
21:15 The Eurasian tree sparrows chirping in the morning is a technique to imply that sex occurred the previous night. Usually there are much fewer sparrows than shown…

A wonderful smile, aye?
(You’re) cute today, too, aye?
(You’re) hair is like a helmet, aye?
4:54The text box is the girl character’s line. It says “Aren’t (you) a boring man. Come 3 days ago.”
8:53Textboxes roughly mean:
“Owowowo… I hit my butt”
(You’ve) tripped quite flashily
If it comes this far, it can even be thought of as art
1. Would Kasa-nee like to do it together too?
2. (I) can see it! An incredible aura…
3. This is different! (My) body just (did it) by itself!!
4. Free input
