Here is a video I made talking about the history of an often forgotten company called Hirameki International Group Inc. They were one of the very first publishers to release visual novels to a mainstream audience in America and the first English company to actually call their products VNs, basically defining how the word is used in the West.

I had been updating the Giantbomb page for this company for a while and, after gathering a bunch of information on them, I decided to make this video as a follow up of sorts to my “Origins of Visual Novels” video from last year. I hope people enjoy it!
