[PS4-1] Taiko Ranked Match Event: Natsumono☆Fest

While we forgot to talk about the next Ranked Match event's announcement of two days ago, we're still in time to announce it on our blog before said event will actually start!

Running from July 5th to July 16th worldwide, the Natsumono☆Fest (ナツモノ☆フェス)  is set to replicate the reward ladder of the Uchuu SAMURAI event, handing out the song said event is titled after while throwing in more song-themed elements (Summer-themed, of course) as well as choice rewards from one of the first events of the game to boot.

We were going to keep it light on the reports from the Next-gen World Hobby Fair '19 Summer this weekend, given that the exhibiting cabinets will be set to only feature the AI Battle Performance mode (which is already publicly available). But then this happened.

In brief, event goers has found this following song in the Anime genre that is not available in public cabinets. Being only available in the exhibition floors, there is obviously no video for it, so we will only work off the snapshots of the song selection and result screens.

Today it's a celebration for the virtual YouTuber Kizuna AI's birthday! We look at the two songs made available today for that very occasion, as well as picking up the last of the videos for the AI Battle Performance additions, which Lokamp added retroactively to Thursday's post.

Song of the Week! 29 June 2019

We've had two newcoming Vocaloid songs this week that are not labeled as such in Taiko gaming. Why don't have a Vocaloid-Vocaloid Ura feature, then?

It's update day for Green Version, with new songs being added for both the general audience and those who are going through the newly-added AI Battle Performance mode!

For the former category we have this Vocaloid-enhanced hit, filling the 7* Oni ranks with a pure 1/16 notechart geared with both small and average-sized note clusters on display.

CoroCoro Channel's Exclusive Preview on AI Battle Performance Mode

With their ties with game and toy makers, CoroCoro Comics frequently gets dibs on exclusive initial scoop for Taiko no Tatsujin and other kids-friendly games.

This time, the CoroCoro editorial got an exclusive hands-on tour around the brand-new AI Battle Performance mode using Hyakka Ryouran Futsuu, guided and cheered on by official-blog correspondent Number 11 (voice and partial face reveal!). You can catch a glimpse of how it feels with the visual presentation and remixed results jingle.

Song of the Week! 22 June 2019

Time to feature the third of the Blue Ver. Dojo -Ranking same-release-day boss songs! Just like with our former two features, it's being made by someone who is already familiar with music gaming...

Twitter Snippets (June 21 2019): Hung-rock Hanging Out With The Katsu Medals

A Twitter Snippet post on Friday may lead you to think it's another "weekend warrior" style song addition, but not this time.

The thing happening on June 22 2019 is the addition of Hung-rock to the Katsu Medal Rewards Shop (what Asia), for those who weren't with us before Green ver. or not having finished off the Phoenix boss from the late Performance Battle mode back in Blue ver.
