Willing to embellish a little? I want to hear about the katawas that never were. I promise not to write fanfiction about them.
Considering the game was inspired off a image, that showed qualities of the 5 girls, there probably weren't any characters that were created then scrapped, not counting people created for april fools stories.
Note: This is only conjecture

I have a question to the dev team, but it's more specifically aimed at Nicol.
Air Guitar's piano arrangement sounds strangely... genuine. I mean, in the sense that this is how the tune was supposed to sound like from the very beginning. Air Guitar is probably my favourite KS song, but there's something about its... I don't know how to word this... flow? That sounds more suited to a piano than to an acoustic guitar. This sort of hybridness made it fresh and I appreciate it, but I'd like to know whether it was supposed to be a piano piece at first and, if so, why it got a guitar arrangement.
While we are here discussing, Hanako is somewhere hopping from dark to darker tiles. Alone.

These has probably been asked before and I'm not willing to sift through 200+ pages in this thread so I'll ask anyway.
1. Why did Shizune's writer decide to give only one choice? An extremely obvious one too.
2. Why did you guys decide to give Misha the pink-drills for her hair? She looks great without her pink hair.
3. For Lilly's route, why was she Scottish? The author could have easily chosen a different nationality.
4. Last one...why does Akira drive a Lancer Evo? Also, which one is it? I'm just curious.
EDIT: What was the Nurse's name?
Lol my questions are so trivial.

All these questions are so vague...? The writer only gave one choice because he wanted to, they gave misha pink hair because they wanted to, lilly was scottish... because they wanted her to be.
I doubt they gave much thought to the car, just picked one...
Hanako used to have no scaring... But that all changed when the fire nation attacked.

It was written for guitar first. I didn't make that piano version until several years later.

1. It's the coolest way to do branching narrative structure.
2. It's the coolest hairstyle
3. It's the coolest nationality
4. It's the coolest car
Looks like all our creative decisions are driven by the rule of cool. The point is, not every design decision can, or should be justified with some deep thought or grand ideas. Not everything is important. All of the questions you asked are examples (except the first, but I wanted to keep the pattern).
Nurse's name will never be revealed, it's too dangerous information to be released to the public.
<Aura> would you squeeze a warm PVC bottle between your thighs and call it "manaka-chan"
<Suriko> I would do it if it wouldn't be so hard to explain to my parents

Best rule ever, can't fight against that.
Best story:
Hanako > Rin > Lilly > Emi > Shizune
best girl:
Lilly > Shizune > Emi > Hanako > Rin
Eh, that's my opinion.

Fair enough. The "because we feel like it" card or "cool" card in this case is a reasonable answer but I wanted it to come from at least one of the devs/writers. Thanks

To know the Nurse's name is to know the sound of the Grand Undoing, to know what an ant looks like to a god, to know the expression on her face when she heard you were dead, the last thought you'll ever have, a killing word, etc. etc.
You get the idea.

It seems I've stepped into forbidden territory here...just like a woman's purse. I shouldn't delve into this matter any further if I know what's right for me.

Ok, I think I have a question that hasn't been asked before:
Who was the (apparently well-versed in Japanese) person that wrote Iwanako's letter? (or "wrote" if it's all CG... oh, and inb4 Iwanako)

I did. If I remember right, I wrote it in English and had someone else translate it.

I have a feeling my question was missed by accident
What was the compliment Shizune signed the first time they go to the Shanghai? The one that Misha refuses to translate because it was too nice

?
Hanako used to have no scaring... But that all changed when the fire nation attacked.
