Also known as ''La Corda d'Oro'' (The Golden String), ''Kin'iro no Corda'' is a series of Otome {{Romance Game}}s developed by Creator/{{Koei|Tecmo}} with a {{manga}} and {{anime}} adaptation. The [[AnimeOfTheGame anime adaptation]] gives a face to the [[NoNameGiven nameless protagonist]] in the form of Hino Kahoko, an [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent ordinary high school student]] who was given a [[MacGuffin magical violin]] by [[FairyCompanion Lily]], the spirit of the school.
Every few years, the prestigious Seisou Academy holds a prominent musical competition, and only the very best students at the Academy are allowed to participate. Though all are eligible to apply, only students from the music department actually make it to the competition... until now.
The series proved successful and spawned various sequels: the first two ones feature Kahoko, but ''Kiniro no Corda 3'' takes place 8 years after the first game's timeline, featuring a new protagonist joining Seisou High School: Kanade Kohinata, as well as a new set of guys (but with the old ones doing cameos).

When Hino finds out the day he's leaving, she comes to the conclusion that she wasn't important enough to Tsukimori to be told of this. They get better.]]

%%* CardBattleGame
* ContinuityReboot: This game does this for the franchise; aside from the setting and bits of the lore, this game divorces itself from previous games' cast, has a totally new plot, and can be played independently without knowledge of previous works in the franchise.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The heroine is referred to as "concertmistress" awfully frequently by an awful lot of characters.
* FinishingMove: The "finale", triggered at the end of a ''won'' level if the "finale" gauge is filled to 100% and up[[note]]filling the gauge but not accumulating enough score to win the level will not trigger the finale[[/note]]. During the finale sequence, the team leader gets a SuperMovePortraitAttack and a burst of points for spectators is achieved.

* LimitBreak: Each card comes with a set of level caps, with the next cap reached (a star added) every time a duplicate is summoned or when manually unlocked using statues. Each card's limits can be broken seven times; any duplicate summoned for a card that already has 7 stars will be converted into statues.
* OfficiallyShortenedTitle: ''[=SutaOke=]''.
* OrderReborn: A mundane, non-fantasy version: the game's plot is about rebuilding the once-great Starlight Orchestra back from the ground up to take on national competitions.
* RandomNumberGod: Cards are collected via "scouting", which is basically a gacha.
* RareCandy: You can force level-up cards by feeding them music books; the higher the book's rarity, the more experience points given. Unlocking the training road requires another kind of materials (food), which must correspond with the character's home region. Limit-breaking requires ''another'' kind of materials (statues).
* SkillScoresAndPerks: The "training road" feature where you can increase a card's stats and unlock skills and side stories via a skill tree mechanic. Unlocking a node (called a "panel") requires materials that correspond with the character's region.
* SuperMovePortraitAttack: All characters present in a performance sequence get one each before the sequence starts, but the team leader gets a special animated one during finale. Concert levels begin with portraits of five main members.
* ThemeNaming: All over the place; the only school without a naming theme is Nakijin by virtue of having only one character.
** Seisō characters except heroine and Sakuya are named after TabletopGame/{{Shogi}} pieces.
** Heroine's CanonName and Sakuya: contrasting TemporalThemeNaming.
** Jōyō: FloralThemeNaming
** Sylph: StellarName, extended to the idol unit.
** South Hyūga: ColourfulThemeNaming

** Kakyō: RockThemeNaming, extended to two [=NPCs=] from St. Cecil Girls' Academy (Sango and Ruri)
