Rune Factory: Frontier! Q&A?, Questions that REALLY need to be ANSWERED. ;3 Options

[Fufuluff]

Bonjour, I'm Fufu. I just rented Rune Factory Frontier, and I'm... confused. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) I've played Harvest Moon since the first version came out. ( The Gamecube one of course... Nintendo, ftw. ;3)
But I can't figure things out. The came just came out a few days ago, and to my dismay, NO WALKTHROUGHS! (I'm a horrible cheater, I know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) )

So, I hace a few questions, and I bet a whole lotta other people do too!

I'm past Spring 7, I can't find Kanno! Where is he? What am I missing...

...This is dumb, but what do I need to create a Rice Ball? I'm like, dead-set on marrying Selphie or Cinnamon. (Drop.) And Selphie likes rice balls...

Any tips on capturing monsters?

Heart events/ bath events / constellation event. What are they? I know what a Heart Event is but...?
How do I trigger them, on Rune Factory, I mean.

I garuntee I'll have more questions... -Sighs.- I'm such a n00b. If one of you guys acutally has the patience to help a Newbie, please do so. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) I KNOW Harvest Moon through and through, but Rune Factory, I know it's the same... yet ever so... new. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

Kanno will be in the Clock Tower.

You have to buy a Kitchen from Lute, and the recipe book from Selphy (or aquire one from Rita, I don't remember which one it is in.)

You need the pet brush from Kross.

I don't know about the last one.
