Kono Aozora ni Yakusoku o is a Japanese adult visual novel produced by Giga, originally released on March 31, 2006. The game was ported to the PlayStation 2 in 2007 and the PlayStation Portable in 2009 came with additional content although the adult content was removed. An anime TV series was made in 2007 under the title Kono Aozora ni Yakusoku o: Yokoso Tsugumi Ryo e.

Kono Aozora ni Yakusoku o's gameplay requires minimal interaction on the player's part as much of the time that is spent on the game is for reading the text that is displayed at the bottom of the screen. The displayed text represents either the thoughts of the characters or the dialogue between the characters. As the story progresses, decision points will appear on the screen where the player can choose which heroine or heroines they wish to talk to.

Kono Aozora ni Yakusoku wo - Melody of the Sun and Sea is a japanese love sim. Set on an island to the south, you play as Wataru Hoshino, a student who resides in a dorm on the highest peak of an island. A factory has closed on the island, leading to a drop in population, and in the number of students attending school. That leaves just you and a small set of girls in the dormitory...

STORY:
The people of Minami-sakojima Island, isolated far from Honshu Japan, were worrying over how to deal with depopulation. The key industry of this island is the aerospace industry owned by the Demizugawa Heavy Industry. Nevertheless Demizugawa Heavy Industry decided to close down the factories and laboratories on Minami-sakojima Island. Takamidsuka senior high school is the only high school on Minami-sakojima Island. This school has a dormitory named "Tsugumi Dormitory", which was remodeled from a former schoolhouse.

One morning, Hoshino Wataru found a sleeping girl - in nothing but her underwear - in his room. When she woke up, she quickly escaped by jumping out of the window, but not without punching Wataru in the face first. This girl, Sawaki Rinna, ends up being a transfer student of Wataru's school, as well as the new roommate of Wataru's dormitory.

He lives with four other girls and their school teacher, but due to Temizugawa Heavy Industry's cancellation of their aviation branch, South Sakojima Island's major company, the families involved with the corporation have to be evacuated in one year. As a result of this, the four girls have to leave the island in one year's time. Knowing this, Rinna refuses to become friends with Wataru and the other girls, because of the pain that she might experience as a result of their eventual separation. However, Wataru disagrees with her, and over the course of the year, tries to convince her otherwise.

CHARACTERS:
- Wataru Hoshino: The protagonist of the story. He is a childhood friend of Umi Hayama. He has a caring personality and is particularly conscientious about his fellow dorm residents. Every episode begins with him reminiscing about his days in the dormitory and reminiscing about his relationships with each of the girls as well as their pasts (in order Rinna, Miya, Shizu, Umi, Saeri and Naoko).

- Rinna Sawaki: A second year transfer student. Wataru Hoshino meets her at Takashi's bar while he's drunk. They chat and then leave.

- Shizu Fujimura: A new student who is bashful in front of strangers. Her parents left her and she seldom showed her feelings when Wataru first met her.
