[NS1][PS4-1] Western Release Launch Window Update Post


Turns out we need a Launch Window Update Post because there may not be just one or two obvious updates we should be aware of.

NS1 Song List / PS4-1 Song List
Last update: November 3 2018
No. of Updates: [NS1] 2 / [PS4-1] 6

[PS4-1] UPDATE 6: We have enough information to tie up both loose ends on the DLC, and this should be the end of this update post unless further development happens.
6a. Reconfirming the PlayStation Store entries, most storefronts state that there is a total of 31 songs, even though the breakdown adds up to 32. We are going to chalk it up to Namco not proofreading the maths.
6b. Thanks to Yuuyatails (Discord) for finding that the rest of the NA DLC lineup is completely run across by this stream by BlueMaxima (YouTube) (about 2:29 to 3:32). Instead of showing you what's in, we'll say that the ones that are not in compared with the original Japanese version are:
X CoroCoro Comics 40th Anniversary Song
X Taiko Drum Monster
X Dangan Notes
With that, we are closing this update post. Thanks guys for the info!

[PS4-1] UPDATE 5: Sorry guys but this journey is not over for Drum Session. Yuuyatails (Discord) and Nabix (Discord) has separately confirmed with North American players (i.e. US and Canada) that NA version has the DLC songs separately available in the in-game DLC section but neither the "Expansion Pack" or Deemo Pack on the PS Store. This footage found by Nabix shows briefly the start and end of the list:
- Koi
- Silent Majority
- Be the One
- crossing field
- Baby, please kill me! (Kill Me no Baby)
- Connect
- Don't say "lazy"
- Senbonzakura
- ...
- Yuugen no Ran
- Infinite Rebellion
- Ryuu to Kokuen no Himegimi

Meanwhile Kayan890 (Discord), Australian using the European copy, cannot enter the in-game DLC section but has the option to buy those two packs. I guess we need people to state their region when they provide further info now.

[PS4-1] UPDATE 4: Turns out we've had to wait less time than expected for the Expansion Pack's full content to be fully revealed! ... sorta. Thanks to a couple of textual tips from a couple of our readers (Kuroko from this very post's comment section and Kayan890 from the Taiko Discord server), we know the content of the 32-fold expansion pack for overseas players, minus one song. The list goes out as follows, with the use of the English-localized games whether possible:

Anime 
-Don't Say Lazy
-Connect
-Baby, please kill me
-Crossing field

Variety
- Necrofantasia- Arr.Demetori
- Yawaraka Tank

Classical
-Surfside Satie
-Dokadoka
-Pavane for a dead Princess ~kimi no kodou

Game
-Doom Noiz
-New World

Namco Original
-Purple Rose Fusion
-Ryogen no Mai
-Toryu
-Ai to Jouzai no Mori
-White Rose Insanity
-Shiuryu
-Tokyo Tokkyo Kyo Kyokakyoku Kyokuchou!!
-Freeway3234
-Ignis Dance
- Taiko-Zamurai
-Amaterasu
-Kissa Rain
-Karyu
-HARDCORE no Kokoroe
-Kurukuru Kurokkuru
-Black Rose apostle
-SAKURA EXHAUST
-Blue Rose Ruin
-Haryu
-Ryuu to Kokuen no Himegimi

[PS4-1] UPDATE 3: This German tweet showed us the first known song for the elusive "Expansion Pack" being Yawaraka Sensha. 1/32 (sigh this could take a while)

[NS1] UPDATE 2: From Reddit's r/TaikonoTatsujin we have textual report that NS1 also has two free Performance Characters (Gold Don-chan, Nekoko & Tomomo) and three paid DLC song packs (Ghibli, Vocaloid and Touhou). Shinkalion Pack is missing.

[NS1] UPDATE 1: This very quick person on Twitter, who already snatch a copy of NS1, showed the world that the individual Classical DLCs were already available at 0.99 euro apiece.

[PS4-1] UPDATE 2: Meanwhile in the DLC front, while not making the Donder Pack line available in the exact same form, the western audience can opt to buy an "Expansion Pack" of 32 31 songs for 24.99 pounds (or equivalent). The PlayStation Store description (linked is EN-GB) only mentions the distribution by genre but not the actual list. The DEEMO Pack is also available as with Asia. Thanks Yuuyatails (Discord) for the find.

[PS4-1] UPDATE 1: Following the peculiar discovery from the announcement tweets by western official outlets, Theme of Ryu really is missing from the base song list of the western release. Thanks SpottyBlue (Discord) for reporting after seeing this from a livestream.
