The Japanese PlayStation X (formerly Twitter) account announced on December 3 that the brand is partnering with Japanese pop duo YOASOBI. The duo will create a new song celebrating the 30th anniversary of the original PlayStation gaming console. “Project: Memory Card” aims to “save PlayStation memories in a YOASOBI song.” The post further asks fans to submit stories about games they wish they could forget — so they can relive the wonderful experience of playing it for the first time, all over again.
