Taiko no Tatsujin Portable 2 song list

Taiko no Tatsujin Portable 2 boxart
One of Namco's most successful and comprehensive Taiko games to date. Taiko no Tatsujin Portable 2 was released on the PSP on September 2006, and is sometimes viewed as an expansion pack to the first game, as many Namco Originals previously downloadable on PSP1 are included in PSP2, and new downloadable songs are provided.

Discounting the console games and downloadable songs, Taiko Portable 2 has the biggest handheld song library to date prior to its successor, boasting a total of 62 songs (although admittedly many of those were repeats from PSP1). Add in the downloadable songs and its total number exceed that of any Taiko game ever made. This makes up for the fact that, again, PSP cannot support a simulated drum controller. It is also the first console Taiko to feature a Story mode, which is done in 5 chapters and includes a stage play, quiz, and songs to play. Unlike the later Story modes in Taiko DS, this one is comparatively linear.

To commemorate the success of the download system, Namco re-introduced support for the download service for PSP2 in May 2010 (which ended in January 2011 to make way for the release of Portable DX), introducing at least 2 new songs per month from the later Taiko games after Portable 2's generation. There are 20 of these.
