"Memoirs" feature in Kingdom Hearts 3D explained

Square Enix have updated their official Kingdom Hearts blog to explain a newly announced feature in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. As you can see from the screenshot below (click for a larger image), the game will feature a "Memoirs" section that will summarize the Kingdom Hearts series and present the information chronologically. This will help people to understand the game if they have not played some of the previous games.
Update: Pavlovic Sarah from KH13 has translated the blog post from Square Enix. You can read this translation below.
Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] will contain a menu called MEMOIR. First screenshot:

You can see the previously released images of this below. Square Enix have recently updated their Official Online Shop with the release date of the toy, March 31, 2012. This, of course, is 2 days after the release of Kingdom Hearts 3D.
Secondly, CDJapan have created a pre-order page for the toy. CDJapan is an online store that ships items internationally, so you will be able to buy the toy from here. It will be available for US$44.47 (with shipping upwards of $60... ouch), and confirms the release date of March 31, 2012.

Jesse David Corti hints at voicing Neku in Kingdom Hearts 3D

Update 2: Even more news relating to Corti's role as Neku, again thanks to KHInsider. Corti has updated his Twitter to say that he has finished recording his lines for the game. You can see this below. With so many voice actors announcing their involvement in the English version of the game, let's hope we get a localized trailer very soon!

Update 1: Thanks again to KHInsider for the find, we now know that Jesse David Corti actually Tweeted on February 8 to say that he had done some voice acting work for Neku on that day. This makes it pretty certain that he'll be voicing for Kingdom Hearts 3D!

Jesse David Corti, the voice actor for Neku Sakuraba in The World That Ends With You, has hinted at returning to voice the character in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. Via a comment on one of his videos on his YouTube channel, Corti suggests that "you may hear me..." in the game. Since other voice actors have already confirmed their involvement, which means voice recording for the English version has already commenced, we can probably assume that what Corti is saying is true. Thanks to believe-it-ornot from KHInsider for the find, you can see a screenshot of this hint below. (Jesse David Corti is YouTube user dreamories.)
