Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 3rd Story

I can give you a full walkthrough but I'm not sure if I should post it on here....eh...what the heck. I'll post you a full walkthough soon.

These are the steps that I know of to get Taira's ending. 1st Year:

April 4th, First Day of School
Before you meet Mr Osako, the teacher, you need to touch him in class once. He's the one with the "x" on his back on the far right hand side of the touch screen. After you meet Mr Osako, you need to touch him again. He'll then introduce himself.

June 13th, Sports Day
During the folk dance, after you're done dancing with all 3 or so of the main characters, he is the guy in the background dancing with the other girl. Touch him. If you miss this section, you'll get a message saying something along the lines of "I thought I just saw Taira looking this way, but...." If you get that message, you've missed him. December 7th, Exams
This is an automatic event (no touching necessary). If you've cleared the first two flags, it'll show up. He'll have forgotten his pencil case and you're going to lend him a pencil. How nice of you.

February 13th, Valentine's Day
As you're leaving school, you will hear Taira and his friends talking about Valentine's Day. He's the guy in front of the shoe box near the center of the touchscreen, and you need to touch him. Second Year:

April 5th, First Day of School
This is an automatic event, no touching is necessary. If you've cleared all the flags until now, he will talk to you and say how nice it is to be in the same class again.

June 12th, Sports Day
Just like in the first year, you need to touch him after you're done dancing with all the main characters. He wanted to dance with you. Aww.

September 13th, School Trip to Hokkaido
The bus scene, on the very first day. You need to touch the guy in front of the bus near the center of the touch screen. He wants to take a photo with you. If you miss this, you will get a message saying, "I think I saw Taira looking this way but...." If you get that message, you've missed the touch opportunity.

October 1st
December 1st
January 8th
On the first two dates above, he will ask you to walk home with him after school. Say yes. On the third date, you can choose to ask him to walk home with you. Do so, if you want to get him.

Febrrary
Automatic event: Karen and Miyo will come to you telling you you're a candidate for Rose Queen. I think your parameters need to be decent enough to make you a contender, although I'm not positive on that. Either way, you do need to have Rose Queen parameters by the time the culture festival comes around so it's not a bad idea to be on top of that. Taira will join the conversation.

3rd Year:

April 4th, First Day of School
Automatic event. Taira and you are in the same class again

June 11th, Sports Day
Touch him after you're done dancing with the main characters. Same as the previous years.

October 30th, Preparation for Culture Festival
You need to have Rose Queen parameters going INTO this period. If you do not, Taira's Culture festival event will not get triggered. Prepare with him for the play. There is a CG involved, so I recommend properly preparing with him during the week and not just the weekends. December 1st
Touch required. After Mr Osako's little speech, you will see the same background as you did first year Valentine's Day (in front of shoe boxes, leaving school). He is the same guy in front of the shoe box. Touch him and there is a conversation event.

If you complete all of the above, you should get Taira's save icon, and you should be in the clear. Note that the main character's love confessions take priority over all the hidden characters, so if you've cleared the requirements for any of the main guys, even if you've cleared all of Taira's flags, you won't get his ending. So date sporadically, if at all. When I first tried for Taira's ending, I went on 5 dates with Ruka (that includes the first 3-way date with Koichi when they call you the day of to see if you're free) and I ended up with his ending. That annoyed me. So avoid that. Do not date a main guy more than 4 times if you're going for Taira or any of the other hidden characters. I think that's it. I hope I haven't missed anything.

Anyway, good luck

Wow, thanks. Taira sounds like a helluva lotta work, but that makes me want him all the more.

Actually, Taira is probably one of the easiest hidden characters in that you can have bombs going off left and right and still get his ending. :)
