It's interesting to see the business logistics that Yasuma and his colleagues went through in order to get a Lollipop Chainsaw remake off the ground. The expired music licenses are likely why the game was de-listed from online stores sometime around 2018. Yasuma explained that while the game will have "a few" licensed tracks, Dragami Games will be composing original music for this version of the game.
