nonoc Comments (Extracts from video comment)

"I've been given the opportunity to sing the Re:Zero theme song Reloaded for the game. The song is about the mental state of the protagonist Subaru, how fate is divided left and right for him, and how he has had to 'reload' is life countless times. I sing about how prepared he has to be in choosing so many different paths, so be sure to pay attention to the song and lyrics. Please look forward to both the game and the song." nonoc's Full Comment: https://sgap.ps/C8Qdri
