Random VNs: Plans for the Year

Ok... normally I chose my Random VNs really at random, on a whim, through whatever method comes to mind. However, this year there were a number of requests - mostly from off-site people (c'mon guys, I shouldn't be having two-thirds of those that make requests be off-site people, considering this site is the only one I'm really active on).
First, due to my Venus Blood, Ikusa Megami, and Sengoku Hime marathons of previous years, I was asked to marathon another long-running series with numerous entries by several people who argued convincingly for it. That series is Tsuyokiss. Understand, I am not fond of this series. The original is one of the more overrated pieces of cliched VN material out there, and the sequels hardly vary from the original at all in terms of concept or content. Nonetheless, I chose to hear out this request and you'll have the opportunity to read about my journey through this major series, at least in part due to the recent release of an omnibus version of the entire series. I will also be (have already restarted) replaying the entire Grisaia series as a revival event, entirely in Japanese while also explaining some things I noticed after having gone back and forth between the two versions of the original (this was originally a request, and I'm still unsure if I can manage to do this without turning it into a translation criticism party).
Now for single-game replays... I'll be replaying these VNs for certain in the next year: Houkago no Futekikakusha, Hoshi Ori Yume Mirai (to give it a proper review this time), Noble Works (again, this is on a request from someone who wanted me to do a full commentary on the game), Ruitomo (again on request), and Soukou Akki Muramasa (on request). All of these requests were made over the course of the past four months, and I am kind of angry that certain someone gave out one of my private emails to certain members of the larger community, as it meant that I had to actually seriously sift my junk mail box.
I'm also accepting requests for random VNs from the last five years that I haven't played, though in this case I reserve the right to seriously think about it before doing so.
