The Ushi No Tane websites specialize in information, FAQs, and guides about the Nintendo console versions of the Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons, and Legend of the River King video games. These game genres are created and published in Japan by Marvelous (JP). In other regions, you'll find Natsume, XSeed Games/Marvelous (USA), Marvelous (EU), and Rising Star involved in the series' release.

Since 2000, Ushi no Tane has been run by a grouchy old lady who happens to be fond of video game agriculture along with two feline helpers: Intern Captain Bootu and Intern Hondo Mewnaka. The website is not officially affiliated, sponsored, endorsed, or employed by the developers of Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons, or River King. This is simply a fan site.

SoS 3DS Theme, PF Singer, and NA eBay | Posted at 09:58 AM 01 April 2016Happy Farm'n Friday! No "April Fools" jokes from me, sorry. Just a summary of the last week's farming news! In Japan, Marvelous released a Nintendo 3DS menu theme for Story of Seasons. The theme is available for download from the Japanese Nintendo 3DS Theme Shop, costs 200 Yen, and requires 31 blocks of SD card space. Similar to the Japan-only Harvest Moon: A New Beginning theme that was released a few weeks ago, the available marriage candidates appear on the top screen. Starting with Raeger on the far left, they scroll through and repeat on the top screen as you move left and right through the bottom screen menu. The background music is the Spring season theme, and moving the select cursor around on the bottom screen makes a footstep noise. Marvelous also released a Rune Factory 4 3DS home menu theme for Japan. You can find an image of that over on my Twitter feed. For those of you who were wondering who the singer is from the Story of Seasons: Precious Friends of the 3 Hometowns opening movie released last week, her name is Hanako Oku. You can read more about her on her Wikipedia page or visit her official website:

In North America, Natsume is still hush-hush on an official release date for the Android version of Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories. It is now April, and the mobile game is expected to be available soon. The iOS version was released as a surprised on January 14, so the Android version might pop up similarly on the Google Play store without any advanced notice. In the meantime, the company continues to add a variety of merchandise to its eBay auction listings. You can bid for Harvest Moon clothing, promo plushies, classic games, and other goodies.

The little potato seedlings planted a few weeks ago have started to send out itsy-bitsy sprouts. It only recently hit 60° F, so hopefully soon I'll see then pop up out of the ground. Then they'll just have to be COVERED IN MORE DIRT! MWA HA HA HA... Until next time! - Cher (Mow the lawn, till the dahlia beds, rake the pine needles, whew...)Feedback: Add
