This is a sub-page of Tomodachi Life/Regional Differences.

To do: Document the Korean version Should "Class Photo"/"School Photo" be documented as regionally exclusive to NA/EUR or regionally different from JPN "Graduation Album?" The photo is different enough but it's the same concept (and also has a pair variant in the international releases). Furthermore, should ALL photos exclusive internationally have images? It wouldn't be interesting to include them if they aren't different from what most of the site's userbase is used to.

Stages By Region#

The song promo photo collection was updated to include the new Ballad, Musical, and Techno songs in the international releases (with the aforementioned removal of Enka). Significantly more photos exist in the international release compared to the Japanese release as well, which are documented below:

Interestingly, the Pop Promo is very inconsistently translated;

• In Japan, it's separately labeled as Sparkling Heart as a pair photo, but correctly labeled with the other promos as a group photo.
• In North America, it's correctly labeled as "Promo (Pop)" as a pair photo, but as simply "Pop" as a group photo, breaking the consistency with the other promo group photos
• Similarly, in Europe, it's labeled as "Promo (Pop)" as a pair photo, but as "Pop Cover" in the group photos.
