Line 6:
* [[Contest Winner Cameo]]: Mie Kuribayashi.
* [[Executive Meddling]]: Back then, Konami organized a character poll on the famous magazine Famitsu, in which the readers would decide which character will become the heroine of the second ''Drama Series'' game, the would-be ''Irodori no Love Song''. Despite the poll results giving a large victory to [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Miharu Tatebayashi]], for various reasons the producers decided to go with the poll runner-up, Ayako Katagiri. They still later recognized Miharu's popularity [[Throw the Dog a Bone|by making her the co-heroine of the 3rd Drama Series game]], ''Tabidachi no Uta''.
** More recently, as part of the streamlining of their business practices, Konami has outright ended the ''Tokimeki Memorial'' series, with no new games in the main series since 2009, and
* [[Fan Nickname]]: ''Hanaya'' for Motoharu Masaki, which literally means 'florist'. He's just as often called ''hanaya'' as he is by his actual name. Poor guy...
* [[Fan Translation]]: The SNES version of the first game is sadly notable for having lots of attempts at creating a translation patch;
** However, fans did extensive work on the first ''Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side'' game for the [[Nintendo DS]] during 2010, and [http://sites.google.com/site/tokimemogs1/home a full, bug-free translation patch] was released in December 2010. The ''Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 2'' translation was [http://gokusaishiki.wordpress.com/2011/05/16/tokimeki-memorial-girls-side-2nd-kiss-final-patch finished and released] in May 2011. The [https://sites.google.com/site/otomeundercover/otome-projects/tmgs3-ds patches for the DS] and [[PSP]] [https://sites.google.com/site/otomeundercover/otome-projects/tmgs3-psp versions] of ''Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 3'' were released in 2015.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: It's the game series which defined the non-hentai Dating Sim genre, after all.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]:
** Yuk Asahina's seiyuu, Yoko Teppouzuka, also voiced Maria Renard in the original PC Engine version of ''[[Castlevania: Rondo of Blood]]''.
** [[Tsundere]] [[Lucky Star|Kagami Hiiragi]] became a [[Bokukko]] here for Itsuki Maeda!
** Say, Rumiko Yanagi, aren't you in reality [[
** Manabu Kobayashi has the same voice as another goofy [[Bromantic Foil]], [[Clannad (visual novel)|Youhei Sunohara]].
** Motoharu Masaki is played by Yuji Ueda, this time playing a datable guy. He also played Yoshio Saotome, the main character's best friend and the info-guy, in the original game.
** Kazuyuki Akagi is played by Kenji Nojima, this time playing a winnable guy. He also played Junichiro Hokari, one of the main character's best friends in ''Tokimeki Memorial 2''.
* [[I Want You to Meet An Old Friend of Mine]]: See the [[Actor Allusion]] entry above for more info on this.
* [[Name's the Same]]: Kasumi Asou must not be confused with the [[Phantom Thief]] of the same name of ''[[City Hunter]]''. When their names are written in Japanese, the only difference is their first name, ''City Hunter'' Kasumi's being written in Hiragana, while ''Tokimemo 2'' Kasumi's is written with Kanji.
Line 27 ⟶ 31:
* [[What Could Have Been]]: According to the Japanese version of [[The Other Wiki]], Yukari Koshiki is a shining example of this trope. Indeed, Yukari’s initial name was Shouko Hoshino (星野翔子), but because the PC-Engine’s Kanji system couldn’t display the kanji 翔 (shou), her name was changed to the current “Yukari Koshiki”. Even more memorable is that, in the game’s development’s initial stage, she was planned to be the game’s second heroine at Shiori’s side (and be hostile towards her), but the idea was ultimately scrapped. Her personnality was also radically different: she was planned as a [[Delinquents|Delinquent]] instead of the [[Cloudcuckoolander]] she is in the final version. Finally, there was a planned game sequence in which, when you phone her to set a date, sometimes the call would be redirected to her [[Overprotective Dad]]’s cellphone: [[Crowning Moment of Funny|a brilliant idea]] [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot|that was also scrapped in the end]]. Several of those ideas would be used 15 years later in ''[[Tokimeki Memorial]] 4'', to create Yukari's [[Expy]], Kai Ryukochi.
