The instant popularity of “Monogram” has earned the track a coveted position as the theme song for the popular Game App “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: ISEKAI Memories.” This symbolizes an enigmatic blend of music and gaming, adding a new dimension to the depth of the single and enhancing the overall experience for both music lovers and gaming enthusiasts.
