An anime adaptation of the two games, called Shining Tears X Wind, began airing in early April 2007.

Like Shining Tears, the game is illustrated by artist Tony Taka.

The game was released on Japan on May 17, 2007, and sold over 78,000 units in four days,[1] becoming the top selling game in the country in that week.

According to the 2006 hands-on preview from IGN, the game runs at constant 60 frames per second.

It features the theme song, Heart-Shaped Chant, by Nana Mizuki.
