As you proceed through the game, your activities will increase ranks. These ranks are like mini achievements you can do in the game, sort of similar to the Farm Degree ranks in past versions of Harvest Moon games.
When you complete the requirements to increase your rank, an on-screen notification will appear. The rank records don't seem to affect anything in the game, but they are there for you to complete as personal goals. Your rank will also start at Rank 1.
