Re: MCCh 2021 (10) June 15
Here's the newly updated playlist:
After two big updates this is a very small one, although with at least two major releases, in Jubilee and Blue Weekend. In all honesty, I was very surprised to see Jubilee all the way at three. I didn't know Japanese Breakfast were suddenly big.
