The king of
love songs is back! As tradition dictates, Masayuki Suzuki will
return to put rhythm to the Kaguya-sama: Love is War franchise.
On Tuesday, the singer began streaming the official music video for the
track "Abunai Kioku" (Dangerous Memory), which will
serve as the opening song for the new TV special titled Kaguya-sama wa
Kokurasetai: Otona e no Kaidan (The Steps to Becoming an Adult).
What makes
this song unique is that it has the special participation of Aoi Koga,
the voice actress of Kaguya Shinomiya herself, as a guest
artist. The special is scheduled to premiere to close the year with a flourish,
debuting on December 31 at 10:00 p.m. (JST) on channels such
as Tokyo MX, BS11 and Tochigi TV.
