History Heartwarming / TokimekiMemorial

* The game's setting... A modern day Kirameki High School. Even if the series ended there, It became a heartwarming set of BookEnds, that the series began, and ended, with a young boy finding romance at that particular school.

* One of the unlockable costumes for ''all'' the girls? The iconic original Kirameki High School fuku from the original game, complete with an optional yellow hairband. Also, one of the last songs you can play? ''Motto! Motto! Tokimeki!''.

* Any time Shiori confesses counts as this and a MomentOfAwesome.

* A meta piece of heartwarming. A translation group in 2022 decided to fully translate the Super Famicom version. And when I say ''fully'' translate... You might as well call it an '''''unofficial localisation''''', complete with an option to add the full PC Engine version's intro, ''with subtitles'', creating the first and only definitive translation of a Tokimeki Memorial game.

* A meta one over it's shutdown in 2017. Even now, the client still works, and is fully playable, due to Konami reworking the game to work completely offline.[[note]]Normal post-shutdown ''offline'' versions remove portions of the game. Tokimeki Idol only removes social functionality and increases drastically free gacha ticket drops.[[/note]]

** Even more heartwarming is, despite the fact that the iconic sailor fuku uniform that made Tokimeki Memorial so, well, memorable is being phased out InUniverse as well as RealLife, they found a way to cameo it in the most heartwarming way possible.[[note]]Yuu Satsuki, the modern equivalent of Shiori, managed to, as a graduating senior, keep the fuku.[[/note]]

The ''VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorial'' series is renowned for being at the far end of the idealistic side of the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism, and thus for running with sweet and heartwarming romance: as such, expect to see ''a lot'' of heartwarming moments in that franchise. Here's a list of those:

----

* From the ''Girl's Side'' series, any time a girl in Rival Mode [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy gives up her guy to you]] and asks to be friends again. Considering that you're probably only getting this scene by going well out of your way to be her friend even though your relationship has gone back down to 0, it's a wonderful feeling to finally be friends again, especially if you were very good friends when rival mode kicked in and destroyed your relationship.

* Basically every HappyEnding that doesn't fall in CrowningMomentOfFunny is this. Especially if TearsOfJoy from the character who got her/his feelings reciprocated by the protagonist are involved, as in the case of [[spoiler: Shiori and Nozomi in ''1'', Saki and Ayako in ''Tabidachi no Uta'', Hikari and Kaedeko in ''2'', and Maki, Yuu and Itsuki in ''4'']].

* Saki's SickEpisode special event, where she falls ill during the 3rd day of the School Trip, and you stay at her bedside during the 4th day. The [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome sweet music box BGM]] and Saki's "If only I could be ill like this more often..." line she unconsciously slips out make the scene even more ''adorable''.

* The ending of the Shiori Route in ''Tabidachi no Uta'' doubles as CrowningMomentOfAwesome, as [[spoiler: the protagonist, out of love for Shiori, symbolically completes the marathon route he couldn't participate in the day before due to a severe muscle tear in the leg, suffering hell in the process. Shiori, having guessed his intentions, waits for him at the finishing line all while cheering for him; and after, they confess their feelings in each other's arms]]. AWWWWWWWWW.

* '''''KAORI YAE'''''. That girl is the ''epitome'' of CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming in ''Tokimeki Memorial 2''. A lot of her Special Events ooze with those, especially the ones occuring after ShesBack from her HeroicBSOD. Special mention go to the following Events:
** "The person I can believe in", which doubles as CrowningMomentOfAwesome for the protagonist:

-->(''Cue the game's {{Leitmotif}} variant [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome occuring when a character overcomes his/her hurdles]]'')

** "Late-blooming Cherry Tree - Resolution", THE mandatory Event of her storyline, where she finally reveals her {{Backstory}} to the protagonist (again doubles as CrowningMomentOfAwesome for him):

-->(''Cue the game's {{Leitmotif}} variant [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome occuring when a character overcomes his/her hurdles]]'')

* Hikari's 2nd Year Birthday event, if you saw the "It's the one who calls others 'idiots' who's one" Childhood Event, and if you offer her a Glass Dolphin figurine. [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome The sweet BGM adds to the heartwarming of the scene as well]].

* The ending confession scenes run on this, but Sakuya Morimura's in particular brought the warm fuzzies (for this troper, at least). You just can't say no to a boy who [[spoiler: plants a whole field of anemone flowers to confess his love for you]] and [[spoiler: cries TearsOfJoy if you reciprocate his feelings]].

* The most heartwarming moments from Itaru Hikami's route are related to his membership in the Student Council; after his overly confrontational campaign speech during the first year gets him booed down by his classmates, thanks to the heroine's influence he manages to better express his ideas and get elected in the second year. In the third year, if the heroine is on the council with him, she finds him staying late at school working on timetables for the rest of the council, and they have a quiet moment in which Itaru displays his committment to the other students and the heroine is able to support him by staying to help.
** Even more heartwarming, at the end of the third year Itaru prepares to step down as Student Council President. He assumes that the younger students will have their own ideas about how to run the council, and he's visibly moved when his juniors surprise him with a bouquet and heartfelt thanks for all of his work over the past two years, promising to live up to his example and confirming not only the difference he's made as Student Council President but how far he's come from the guy who only managed to alienate his classmates that first year.
* Katsumi Shiba has one if the heroine is the manager of the baseball club: he spends the first year and part of the second wistfully watching the baseball team practice, feeling unworthy of joining them due to an incident in middle school. During one of their games against another school, however, the pitcher starts playing dirty, and Shiba finds the heroine near tears. His response is to join the baseball club midgame and step up to bat, ignoring the pitcher's trash talk and proceeding to win the game even though he hasn't played in at least a year and a half, finally starting the process of getting over his past mistakes.
** He has another during the school play at the third-year culture festival when he departs a little from the script to tell the heroine about how much it's meant to him that she's supported and believed in him.
* All of the endings qualify, of course, but Teru Saeki's deserves special mention - especially following his concerted effort to push the heroine away a month prior - as he finally resolves for himself who the real Teru is and what he wants, and gives the heroine the key to his grandfather's cafe to hold onto until the day they're ready to re-open it together.
-->'''Teru:''' I finally understand that I should just throw away this stupid pride. It can't be helped that it's uncool, that it's pathetic. Because I only think of you... I have no hesitations any more. That's the real me.
* After the heroine asks him about love, Itaru Hikami gives the subject some serious thought and eventually comes back with an answer:
-->'''Itaru:''' I want a love that will change me. I'm very self-aware now, to the point that I hate myself for being an incomplete person. But once you set your rules, you can't really back down from that... That's why I want to be influenced. I want to be transformed by this love.

** Likewise, discovering Mira being [[spoiler: so [[CoolBigSis kind, caring, and adorable]] to her little brothers]] (such as in the main game, in drama tracks like her monologue in Volume 2 of ''Nijiiro no Seishun Forever'', and the OVA), and [[spoiler: [[FirendToAllChildren little kids]] in general]] (as shown in ''Tabidachi no Uta'') really adds ''a lot'' to her character.

* Mira's Christmas Party event, where she shivers from the cold and the protagonist offers her his coat. She takes her arm to "give some warmth", and then a few days later, she gives him back the coat, [[spoiler: with all the little tears sewn off, courtesy of her]]. Considering she is the [[spoiler: LovableAlphaBitch of the game, seeing her being so close to the protagonist is an adorable view to hold.
