I was able to play it!
First step: Download the Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 RAR Files of Re: Birthday Song
Second Step: Search Control Panel in your PC then When you see Clock and Region, beneath it you'll see "Change date, time or number formats" Click that. Go to your Formats then change to Japan, then Go to Administrative then change your Locale Settings to Japan. Click "Ok" then above Locale Settings click "Copy Settings"
Third Step: After downloading the 3 RAR Re: Birthday Song Files, make sure they the 3 files are beside each other. If not, make a new folder (rename it with Re: Birth so you won't get confuse of something) then copy the 3 files then paste it inside the new folder you just created!
Fourth Step: If you have 7zip then you all know what to do, Extract the 3 files! For those who don't know, download 7zip first (it's free) Link to 7zip: https://www.7-zip.org/download.html I chose x64bit to download by the way. Install 7zip! For extracting the 3 files do this:

After extracting Re.Birthday.Song wil appear
Fifth Step: Download Daemon Tools! Link to Daemon Tools: https://www.daemon-tools.cc/releasenotes/dtlite#page After downloading the installer file click on it then install Daemon Tools
Sixth Step: Let's go back to the new folder you made "Re:Birth" there inside is the Re.Birth.Song, open it. Now you must be wondering why do we need Daemon, here it is! Open Daemon Tools Lite App then you will see the disc thingy below then press on it. (don't press the add button) then go search for Re.Birthday.Song file open it then click the REBSDISC1.ISO file to mount in the Daemon Tools.
Seventh Step: (You'll see a notification saying a what to do with the drive thingy, that means you successfully mount REBSDISC1.ISO.)
Next Mount APPEND.ISO FILE also located in Re.Birth.Song file (You'll see a notification saying a what to do with the drive thingy, that means you successfully mount APPEND.ISO FILE)

Eight Step: BD:ROM DRIVE (E), OPEN THE SETUP APPLICATION, when u open it it's in japanese, (THE SETUP WILL DOWNLOAD THE HONEYBEE FILE THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP) you DONT have to do anyThing just keep on CLICKING and stuff that have the option with (N) on it. JUST CLICK IT DONT BE AFRAID OF JAPANESE WORDS IT CANT KILL U UR A BAD BITCH
Ninth Step: WERE ALMOST THERE!!! Download this https://yuscake.com/2017/03/16/rebirthday-song-english-translation-patch-complete/ then COPY the RIO.ARC FILE (Yuscake) in it.
Go to Windows (C) thing then Program (x86) THEN SEARCH FOR honeybee file.
THERE DELETE THAT ANNOYING RIO.ARC FILE THEN REPLACE IT WITH THE ONE YOU GOT FROM YUSCAKE RIO.ARC FILE just PASTE it there HAHAHAH
Tenth Step: OPEN THE FILE, JUST OPEN AND (DO NOT USE LOCALE EMULATOR DONT USE IT) AFTER OPENING ENJOYYYYY
IF IT DIDNT WORK!!! JUST COMMENT HERE ILL HELP YOU. ANYHOW, I HOPE THIS TUTORIAL WORKS FOR YOU!!!
PROOOOOOOOOFF THAT IT WORKS FOR ME below in the comment section

so I got the honeybee thing setup from the .exe setup and I also changed the location to Japan but for some reason it shows this when I click on the ReBirthdaySong application

NEVERMIND I GOT IT TO WORK WOO! I had to do the setup thing again from the file with the ReHappybirthday Song application in it and after that the application for the game got to work.

For the game to be in english (after the setup), open the game from the Honeybee file and remember to replace the Rio.arc thing with https://yuscake.com/2017/03/16/rebirthday-song-english-translation-patch-complete/ use that rio.arc instead and btw I didn't delete the rio+.arc just the rio.arc

I have a problem in the eight step, I don't know which file I have to click on when I am on the honeybee folder. Everything I've tried gives me an error. Btw, which windows are you using? Mine is 10 and maybe the problem is that (idk tho)

bro i just
i cant run the game, i always get stuck with opening the setup. it for some reason renames the file with these symbols, which isnt a valid file name. before anyone asks, ive run it with locale emulator, ive changed my region to japanese, ive tried to run the game by renaming the file with the weird symbols with the correct file name, nothing has worked. is there any other solution i havent thought of? thank you.
im very sure this is the main culprit as to why my game won't run

ok so who ever get this error when trying to launch the game it's properly cause of the patch, first make sure to uninstall the game then u have to download the Japanese version of the game then download the patch and patch it yourself otherwise this error won't go.
if the error was "??????" instead of Japanese letters properly cause u didn't set your PC region in japan in the right way

download the original Japanese version of the game From here https://nblog.org/pc-games/rebirthday-song-koi-o-utau-shinigami-jpn/
Then run it to make sure the game works first. If it still give u the same japanese error text box even though u haven’t patch it yet probably cause u didn’t fully reinstalled the one u download before. If it works and the game run properly then use the patch from yuscake
I hope it works for u >,<

Hi every one I will explain how to do install completely this game without bug
First time Extract the game
Second time extract disc 01 in this same file
Third, start the set up and change (Tips : Change the way to acess of the folder of the game, thanks that you will find more easily this game)
Four, Go download the true patch of this game there : https://yuscake.com/2017/03/16/rebirthday-song-english-translation-patch-complete/
After that, extract the english patch and take the rio.arc document and you will afix this in the folder of game (they will ask you if you want to remplace the document in the folder say yes)
And after the more important thing, go to the second set up of the game call "Append" and download the documents directly in the folder of the game in the document of the folder of the game.
Finally most important thing, go in your control panel (or Panneau de configuration in french), go to clock and region and after go to region, he will appear a small window, so go in administration (is next to formats) and finally go to change the parameters regional. YOU MUST CHANGE YOUR COUNTRY FOR THE JAPON. Because the game have some document that a computer could not read if the region is not in Japanese (and you need to have your country "in" japan if you want to play the game, don't worry this change will not have impact your laptop)
And after play like you want ;), so if you want some help send me a email in himimaru@hotmail.fr, i'm a french guy so i'm not good in english but i know how you can activat this game ; ).
So nice holliday for you and see you ! ~

I just install the game like it said in the tutorial, replace the file for the patch and start the game; at first I believed that the game was still in japanese because the menu and the box where you input your name where in japanese, but I just went with it, input my name and star to play, then i saw that the patch worked, they just didn't traslate the menu ann other little things.

I completely give up to try by my own right now. so I already did everything exactly the same with your tutorial, I've changed my locale to Japan as well. I've put alll the file in Honeybee folder and mount iso it as well, But the game still give me a Box full of japanese words. What do you think I did wrong to cause this all?
