Trying to play the update with the Good Kid sound track in a nutshell:
Noriko: Good luck trying to pull him off IT GOES FASTER AND FASTER first
Rin: Don't try to tell me what balls WE ALL GOTTA BREAK SOME TIME Mom!
Molly: Please tell me it was something flattering and not SO I WALKED OUT THE BACK BEFORE THE SECOND SET SETTLED MY DEBT I'LL MISS THE REST, THATS FINE I GUESS. I think I love you.

I was not a fan at first, but now I don't really mind how he used the good kid songs. As he did seem to pick ones that were at least somewhat lyrically relevant to that update. I can definitely see it being quite annoying if the English lyrics mess with you when reading. But I don't remember having that problem myself.
I also can't imagine playing this game without the soundtrack. Selebus does such a good job of reusing music that you have already associated with specific emotions from previous events as a tool to recall said specific emotions. In addition to just a good selection of tracks in general, especially the more eerie and uncomfortable ones. Stomachache soundtrack as a recent example.
I quite often find myself leaning on the soundtrack to help frame my state of mind when I come back to the game after these month long waiting periods. I think I would struggle somewhat to get back into it fully without the soundtrack when playing update to update. It might be a problem though, I seem to have developed something of a Pavlovian response, when I hear some of the royalty free songs in other stuff I endup teleported back to this game.
But with that said I do still endup muting the game sometimes when it gets too cacophonous for too long. When I started the untitled children's show song by accident in the last reset for example.

On the topic of soundtracks, one of the newer soundtracks that has me unexpectedly shaken is iamhome played during Times New Roman.
Listening to it without playing that event is ok; it's just a calm peaceful tune. But when I was first playing that update and when I was still in that room trying to break out, instead of feeling annoyed or overwhelmed like the rest of the resets, that track made me feel like this time I was absolutely fucked. With the amount of doomsaying immediately prior to reset6, I thought Akira this time was truly done for, and there was no more I could do.
This track somehow just resonates so well with my imagination about "What BGM would be played for someone who peacefully accept their impending death in slow motion, knowing this time there truly is no escape from the disaster that's doomed to happen in 2 second".
Someone who's about to get hit by a car. Someone who's about to hit the ground after jumping. Someone who's about to be claimed by their own stage 4 cancer. The last few fleeting moments where they are still residents to this mortal plain. All that's left to do is listen to this epilogue music and quietly feel your own existence phasing out.
"This is it"
"The show's over"
"It's my turn"
I remembered letting my mouse go and just staring at that room and thinking, "Maybe I should just wither into nothing here".

We have new Kaori events and picture messages but no previews of a random animal. Something bad must happen to her this update.
Finally caught up to the game now I can read all the theories and what not

Hey, I’m sure this has been talked about, but… what is the first divergence Maya noticed from the ever-repeating round of sorrow?
if it was the scarf (which is how I remember it), then Himawari really is a major player, it seems to me. She’s literally changed the unchanging balance in this cycle of misery. She may not be very powerful — she can’t just change stuff. But she’s very important.
And the question of what her role is, not to mention her plan (aside from saving mom and dad) seem pretty central as well.
Not controversial, I know, but interesting.

Probably Ami becoming a Maid:

Overall: Ami becoming a Maid is the first notable thing Maya seemed to notice, but it might be Yumi preventing Sensei from seemingly erasing himself/walking into static in 'Not Even Me' that really changed the timeline, if that was new.
Edit: Could be a few other things, though. Hard to tell since Maya focused mostly just on Sensei and Ami.

My favorite choice in the whole game so far is with
Even though its unfinished the idea of being able to essentially send her out to seduce another girl and then watch that is both hilarious and hot. Peak content and I cant wait to see it finished in the full game. No idea how itll work on "Perfect runs" but eh im sure selebus can figure it out.

Joke or not, the possibility of only two people being there is not that unlikely given that only Akira and AmIOkay are in the room of the clocks. Maya and Akira seemed for a long while to be the actual people in the simulation, or at least the ones responsible for it. If that translates to every girl being a form of Maya is something we'll have to wait and see, but a less tinfoil theory would be that every girl has possibly been in Maya's shoes as appointed guide to Akira.
Neither is that likely, but not outright impossible yet either. In fact, Ami makes mention of being just the two of them after the world ended during their bus ride backwards. Maybe there is some water to be held between aramaug's each terminal is a cycle theory that crosses with this, and at the end of each cycle there were two people left. In one of them was AmIOkay and Akira in the room with the clocks, in the other it was Ami and Akira in the deserted city, and so on.

Good to see you, I found nothing searching the cyrillic quote there, but anyway don't remember what you said about e-mailing them, also nice to hear of you.
