White Album (ホワイトアルバム, Howaito Arubamu) is a Japanese adult visual novel developed by Leaf, and was originally released on May 1, 1998 for Microsoft Windows as a CD-ROM.

It was re-released on PC under the title White Album: Memories like Falling Snow on August 4, 2023, with English and Chinese translations.

The gameplay in White Album follows a linear plotline, which offers predetermined scenarios and courses of interaction, and focuses on the appeal of the female main characters.

[2] The gameplay in White Album requires little player interaction as most of the game's duration is spent on reading the text that appears on the screen, which represents either dialogue between the various characters or the inner thoughts of the protagonist.

Before the beginning of every week in the game's storyline, the player is given the option to plan a schedule, and is allowed to participate in various activities or to take the day off for rest.

To view all of the plotlines, the player will need to replay the game multiple times and make different schedules and choices during decision points to progress the plot in an alternate direction.

[6][7] Work on the music for the game was split between three people, Shinya Ishikawa, Kazuhide Nakagami, and Naoya Shimokawa, the president of Aquaplus.

[12] Shimokawa explained that although several other visual novel titles employed 3D computer graphics to create animations, the technology was unable to portray the details that artists maintain in their original illustrations, and the decision to use Motion Portrait was made in order to allow fluid animations to be created using static 2D computer graphics.

[12] The technology took the development team a year to perfect, because of complications such as unnatural character movement; Kawata commented that the process took more time than the illustrations to complete.

[12] A sequel to the original visual novel entitled White Album 2: Introductory Chapter developed by Leaf was released on March 26, 2010.

An English and Chinese language localization by Shiravune was released in August 2023 on PC, titled White Album: Memories like Falling Snow.

The anime series, produced by Seven Arcs, directed by Akira Yoshimura and written by Hiroaki Satō,[6][17] is broadcast in two sets of thirteen episodes.

The opening theme, "White Album", also used as an insert song, was performed and written by a ghostwriter and is credited to Yuki Morikawa, one of the heroines of the game, and was composed by Shinya Ishikawa.

The insert song, "Sound of Destiny", was credited to Rina Ogata, another heroine, for performance, and was written by Shōko Sudani and composed by Kazuhide Nakagami.

"White Album" and "Koi iro sora" were performed by Aya Hirano as Yuki Morikawa; and "Sound of Destiny" and "Powder Snow" by Nana Mizuki as Rina Ogata.
