This is only for the ones that I have finished with. Will be updated when I finish with a particular character.
And what I mean by TOKIMEKI in this case is that you finish with a specific girl, not TOKIMEKI STATUS. TOKIMEKI STATUS is usually achieved sometime after the 3rd email that a girl sends you thanking you for going on a date with them. The girl will send you a forth email regardless of whether or not you are successful in holding her hand during the angel/demon scene.
To get TOKIMEKI STATUS quickly, I would date my target once a month and make sure I pick the best response on the date.
Remember, if your appearance is below 30, a girl will drop out on you on the date so watch out.
A SECRET ART is a unique special skill that your date use when in battle.
MAKI HOSHIKAWA
Meeting condition: Introduced at the beginning of the game.
Tokimeki condition: All parameters 150 or over according to the guide but I don’t think this is right or I might have read it wrong. And of course, high affection(ie. TOKIMEKI STATUS).
Best dating locations: Concert Hall (when a J-POP concert is on), Shopping District (anywhere but the 2nd Hand Store), Karaoke, amusement park (anything but the ghost house)
RPG:
Battle Condition: Can choose to battle alongside her at the field trip regardless of where you choose to go.
Secret Art: Heals both you and herself and become invulnerable temporarily.
TSUGUMI GODO
Meeting condition: Humanities must be 80 or above.
Tokimeki Condition: Date her at least 6 times and have humanities around 10 according to the guide but I would attempt 500 or above and get into the University of Humanities just to be on the safe side. At the same time, I would recommend you have 100 or over for the other parameters unless you don’t mind getting kicked out of the Christmas party by your homeroom teacher. And of course, high affection(ie. TOKIMEKI STATUS).
Best dating locations: Library (at tokimeki status, you will NOT go to a restaurant with her after the date even if you pick the best choice) and Planetarium. You can also try the Ferris wheel at the Amusement park or the Museum.
RPG:
Battle Condition: Can choose to battle alongside her at the field trip regardless of where you choose to go.
Secret Art: Casts a spell that does massive damage.
AKI KORIYAMA
Meeting condition: Science must be 80 or above.
Tokimeki Condition: Must have at least 500 Science before you attempt the university entrance exam near the middle of February of 2012 (after 3rd yr). Must choose to go to a University of Science (That will not appear as a choice if you don’t have 500 science before the university entrance exam). And of course, high affection(ie. TOKIMEKI STATUS).
Best dating locations: Library and Museum. You can also try Planetarium, the Ferris wheel at the Amusement park, and the Shopping district (choose the antique shop since she collects tableware as one of her hobbies).
RPG:
Battle Condition: She will not go to that second yr field trip with you since she is not in the same grade as you. However, an easy way to go into a battle alongside her is to go on a date at the Riverside 3 times in a row successfully. On the third time, a street punk will appear and you will have to defeat him with Aki.
Secret Art: Mixes some concoctions and throws them at the enemy but only dealing a puny amount of damage. Seems pretty worthless to me.
ITSUKI MAEDA
Meeting condition: Sports must be 60 or above if and only if you’re in the soccer club. Otherwise you’ll need 84 or above in sport.
Tokimeki Condition: High affection(ie. TOKIMEKI STATUS).

Tokimeki Condition: 240 or above in Humanities, Science and Arts. 200 or above for other parameters. Get into a first rate university (which requires 240 or above in Humanities, Science and Arts for you to be successful). High affection(ie. TOKIMEKI STATUS).
Best dating locations: Shopping district (anywhere but the 2nd hand store), the Ferris wheel at the Amusement park and Planetarium. You can also try the Gaming centre (Claw machines only) if and only if she’s in TOKIMEKI STATUS and the Concert Hall (if there’s a classical concert on).
RPG:
Battle Condition: Like Aki, Yu will not go to that second yr field trip with you since she is not in the same grade as you. However, an easy way to go into a battle alongside her is to go on a date at the Riverside 3 times in a row successfully. On the third time, a street punk will appear and you will have to defeat him with Yu.
Secret Art: Casts a large meteor at the enemy dealing massive damage.
MIYAKO OKURA
Meeting condition: Appears at the beginning of the game. You will need to ask her to go out with you 13 times before she eventually agrees to date you. Her name will then be moved to the girl’s section.
Tokimeki Condition: Date her at least twice. And of course, high affection(ie. TOKIMEKI STATUS).
Best dating locations: Sports Stadium. You can also try Karaoke and the Shopping district (no 2nd hand store please). In her yandere status, she will only go to certain places. In that case, rotate between Central park and the Shopping district. She will get out of yandere status in a 5-6 months and will immediately be in TOKIMEKI STATUS. At that point, she’ll go anywhere with you without objections.
RPG:
Battle Condition: Can choose to battle alongside her at the field trip regardless of where you choose to go.
Secret Art: Summons her rabbit charm which enlarges itself and casts some sort of voodoo spell upon the enemy dealing massive damage.
FUMIKO YANAGI

Best dating locations: Movie Theatre (only if a childish movie is on), Shopping District (anywhere but the 2nd Hand Store), Karaoke, amusement park (anything but the ghost house) and Game centre (Claw machine only). You can also try the Ice Skating centre and the Pool.
RPG:
Battle Condition: Can choose to battle alongside her at the field trip regardless of where you choose to go.
Secret Art: Summons a heart, which, then casts an array of more hearts that fills the screen but deals a small amount of damage to the enemy, whom, will then be paralyzed for 2 turns.
KAI RYUKOJI
Meeting condition: Have all parameters above 60.
Tokimeki condition: Route 1 (Succeed her father)> above 130 in all parameters; Route 2 (Does not succeed her father)> between 80 and 130 in all parameters.
Best dating locations: When starting out (before friendship status), there are only 2 good places that I must recommend to you; Concert Hall (every year from July-August and September-November of 1st year) and Movie Theatre (1st year December-2nd year February and 2nd year March-November). If you choose any other place before friendship status, it’ll slow you down tremendously. Once she reaches TOKIMEKI STATUS it’ll be safe to go for locations like the Game Centre, the Pool and the Beach.
RPG:
Battle Condition: Can choose to battle alongside her at the field trip regardless of where you choose to go.
Secret Art: Using a special eye technique, the enemy becomes paralyzed for 3 turns.
RHYTHMY KYONO
Meeting condition: 1st encounter requires having arts 60 or above. 2nd encounter requires having arts 84 or above. You may only obtain her phone number after the second encounter.
Tokimeki condition: High affection level. You may even succeed with art of 0.
Best dating locations: Concert hall (when there is a classical concert on), central park, botanical gardens, and the museum. Be warned that the concert hall and central park may only be effective once. Later, I would consider alternating between botanical gardens and the museum. You may even try the ferris wheel at the amusement park after reaching FRIENDSHIP STATUS if you want. (NOTE: FRIENDSHIP STATUS is the affection level prior to reaching TOKIMEKI STATUS.
RPG:
Battle Condition: Can choose to battle alongside her at the field trip regardless of where you choose to go.
Secret Art: Plays a tune with her banjo which both does damage to the enemy and heals both you and herself to full health. A very useful skill.
ELISA DOLITTLE NARUSE
Meeting condition: She will transfer to the school during April of the second year. You will needone of the following;
- Humanities = 80 or above, Arts = 60 or above, Sports = 60 or above
- Use the kendo command several times
- Actually being a kendo club member
Tokimeki condition: Date her at least 4 times. High affection level.
Best dating locations: She like any place that has to do with nature. (ie. Riverside park, Central Park, Botanical Gardens and the mountains). In terms of dating, she tends to refuse to go on certains days of a month no matter how many times you reload the game, even if she is in TOKIMEKI STATUS. This means you may not be able to date her as many times as you like per month. However, I do not really see the need to date her too regularly either.
RPG:
Battle Condition: Can choose to battle alongside her at the field trip regardless of where you choose to go.
Secret Art: Swiftly makes a screen-length dash and slashing the opponent behind her with her sword. This looks similar to one of the super combos of a character from street fighter, Ibuki. The enemy receives massive damage from this attack.
SCEA are jerks. That means the cost becomes more expensive for Konami to gamble and not so profitable. In the video game industry, quality VA’s are paid $800 a day for four hours of work per person. They have unions. One can go outside the unions, but it’s not worth the headache, and you could lose access to the union VA’s for other projects. That being said: there are 15 major speaking roles in TM4. Even if these 15 people are going to be used for the minor roles: that comes to $12000 for 4 hours. It’s going to take more than 4 hours… let’s say it takes an average of 12 hours for all the spoken segments to be completed for each person: that’s $36000 right there… not counting food, transportation, renting recording equipment, etc. And this is assuming the VA’s will work at the standardized $800 a day fee… sometimes negotiations demand more money: especially when a game is being sold for it’s voice acting… which TM4 is exactly doing (in combination with the story quality).
