Degica released the ones on Steam most recently, but do they even publish on consoles?

Umihara Kawase Fresh! Info thread [Up6: Releasing on Switch. JP: April 25, 2019. WW: July 9]

They already confirmed that the JP version will have English, I don't know why people think the JP physical won't too?
Gotta wonder if they'll get Natsume or Nicalis to localize it and release it at retail in the west.

I'd rather be wrong than have someone complain to me that they imported the game off amazon.jp and it doesn't have English.
I'll wait for the game to appear on the eShop to confirm what languages it's using.
I'm thinking Circle is a potential publisher.
The Twitter account confirmed that a different company is handling the game's overseas release and considering their initial plans was to have the game released in Japanese, English and Traditional Chinese means that Circle fits the bill for localising a game into Traditional Chinese and English.
I don't think Success have their own localisation team for the overseas release. I just checked their two puzzle games they have on the eShop (outside Japan) and one of the screenshots with text suggests to me they've been translating these games using Google.
They do. They just released another Senran Kagura game a few days ago.
Degica's published Vita, PS4 and Switch games already so yes they do.
Yeah, but I don't know if the fans of the series will stay if they continue to remove features. Maybe on PC if they are able to add it back in, in the foreseeable future.

New game footage 25/02/19

The official website updated. New character profiles added: https://swninfo.success-corp.co.jp/switch/umihara-fresh/character.html
New game footage shows that the world is more like a metroid game by using an elevator to go from one area to another rather than something else like a seamless open-world game:
New footage shows that you can Camp, which is very likely for restoring health. I don't know if it's also used as a save point.

"English is also available"

There, now I can say I'm wrong since the Twitter account is now confirming English and showing an English screenshot in the post right above me.
So I guess fans can continue preordering the game from Amazon JP of which an Umihara Kawase calendar got added as a bonus.
Whoa, not sure how I missed the announcement of this game, but I just pre-ordered from Amazon.co.jp.
Suggestions: Where to import physical version
OP
OP
If you're here, you decided to take a look at whether to import the Japanese version of Umihara Kawase Fresh!
The Japanese physical version published by Success releases April 25th 2019, it has Japanese, English and Chinese language options. It costs ¥5,800 excluding tax.
The western release will only have a physical version for North America because the publisher is Nicalis, it will release on July 9th 2019. Success have mentioned that that the western release will not have Japanese language options so it is assumed to only have English language options. This is most likely because the game will cost $40 at launch.
Now that you know the difference between the two versions, here are some suggested links for importing the Japanese physical version.
AmazonJP:
https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B07N33836Z
The physical release on Amazon features an option to include a Umihara Kawase themed calendar with your order, this a limited edition order exclusive to Amazon and will bump the price a little compared to just ordering the game alone. You can choose to order only the game if you want.
CDJapan:

I've now added the CDJapan, amiami and nin-nin listings to the threadmarked post regarding importing.

Don't forget to look at the threadmarks.
New day, new info:
Two areas of the game have been shown now, the one we've seen since reveal and the new one revealed yesterday.
Those two areas only take up 30% of the whole map in the game.

I think the art style for this is adorable and I've always wanted to try this series out. Is the release date only for Japan or is it worldwide?

This is all I can quote from Gematsu:
September 15, 2018
January 24, 2019
English has been confirmed but no new details regarding the western release.
Probably if the game finishes development near the end of March then we may find out if it pops up on the eShop or other announcements.
Calendar, limited item only from AmazonJP
Overseas release details
OP
OP
So the Success Twitter account is tweeting about the overseas release that is being handled by Nicalis. It mentions that the version published by Nicalis will not contain Japanese language options. (Someone already made a thread regarding Nicalis publishing the overseas release, that will be physical/digital for NA and digital only for everyone else outside Japan/NA. Price: $40. Release Date: July 9, 2019)
Remember that Success's official site for Umihara Kawase Fresh! has mentioned since months ago and still does that the game they're publishing contains Japanese, English and Chinese language options:

They've all launched at full price in Japan, and the second-hand prices for the first two games in particular are quite high.
Sayonara Chirari was only 4000 yen, or thereabouts, on Vita I thought?

23./00. [PSV] Sayonara Umihara Kawase: Chirari (Agatsuma Entertainment) {2015.04.23} (¥5.184)

Good, I pre-ordered the Japanese physical release weeks ago.
For anyone else reading, go to the threadmarks to find import suggestions if you want to import the game physically on April 25th to play early but at a higher price: ¥5,800. (Or use Japan eShop for digital)
Remember that the western release handled by Nicalis will be $40 physical/digital (digital only outside NA) but isn't coming out until July 9th.

If I am reading this correctly, Cotton will be playable at a time attack event on the 17th of March which is in the event where a Blade Strangers Tournament is being held iirc.
The tweet shows that Cotton can fly like in the games she's known for.
