The game released in February 2019 (while the anime was still ongoing!) and was shut down in December 2020. Maybe a minor tragedy in that cursed  2020, but I really like Kotobuki&#8217;s world and I find it hard to accept this project is dead: no new seasons, no new movie, no games, nothing at all.  Not even the end of Darker than Black (which had no second season btw) or the lack of third season for Spice &amp; Wolf was this hard for me to accept. So, why am I writing this after all those years? Because I want to contribute in keeping the memory of Kotobuki alive by translating the Team Songs. Yes, there are team songs and they SLAP because ZAQ is a musical genius.
