    Nonfiction, (NOT) Remember you, and 23rd Monster all sounded way better than the last time I heard them, and I already liked those!

    If anything, having to play KHIII might make you resent them even more.

    Kuu recorded a video message that was displayed during Ayu's tour today. She talked about how Ayu is a great sempai, and that Ayu messaged her to check up on her.

    Kuu then posted this on her Instagram stories.
