<Comments from Eve / Theme Song>
Speaking of it, I am very honored to be involved in the “Jujutsu Kaisen” series again. I was worried about what kind of base of the app’s theme song I should aim for since the story development of the game is different from the main story, but in the end, I made the song based on the idea to make it as the next on ‘Kaikai Kitan’. I hope everyone who likes “Jujutsu Kaisen” will like it. And I’m really looking forward to seeing it this year again.
