The music aspect of the game is highly praised, particularly for its extensive library of songs from the series available through a subscription model, which many users find to be a valuable addition. The diverse selection appeals especially to fans of Japanese music, making it a standout feature of the game.
“But as weird as it may sound for someone who usually doesn't like microtransactions in premium games: the fact you can pay a small amount of money for access to a massive library of songs from across the entire series is this game's best aspect.”
“Looks like the song selection for the pass is going to be huge, and more than likely worth the monthly subscription.”
