A little help in getting started
In games like Harvest Moon, it is always a little hard getting started.
I found that the best way to get started in Harvest Moon: Magical Melody is first buying the plot by the sea. You're pretty close to town and right next to probably the most important neighbors in the game: Woody the carpenter and Tai the blacksmith.
Next I advise buying the chicken coop first. And DON'T buy a chicken. Instead, buy an egg and exercise a little patience. You'll save money that way. And in the beginning, saving money is the most important thing.
Also, the easiest way to get money the first few days is easy: just walk around town picking up the lumber pieces. Not the little logs or the old stakes, but the good stakes. Good stakes sell for 30G a piece and you can throw away the old stakes in trash cans and get the garbage can note in like the first or second day. After you throw away 20 of the old stakes, you can sell them for 5G a piece if you want.
Fishing is a good way to get money too. But don't sell the fish the way they are when you catch them. Take them home and turn them into Sashimi. Those puff fish, (I can't remember what they are called) normally sell for only a few G's so I had always released them. But when I turned it into Sashimi, they sold for a lot more. 120G if I'm remembering correctly.
Anyway, hoped I helped!
