First Video: Taik-color



Title
Taik-color
タイコロール/steμ feat. siroa
★5★6★7★10
(876)


As you should know from the featured Namco Taiko Blog post, Taik-color is like a big closing credits (i.e. ending roll) song for the whole of 3rd generation. Similar to its lyrics mentioning all the versions and their special features, the actual song and notechart took samples directly from iconic songs from each version:
  • Hatsune Miku no Shoushitsu -Gekijouban- for base AC0 (Ura notechart quoted)
  • Fly away for KATSU-DON
  • Hurtling Boys for Sorairo ver.
  • Sotsu Omeshiki for Momoiro ver.
  • Day by Day! for Kimidori ver.
  • !!!Chaos Time!!! for Murasaki ver.
  • Gloria for White ver.
  • VICTORIA for Red ver.
  • Taiko Drum Monster for Yellow ver. (retrofitted to 16th)
  • Toymatic☆Parade!! for Blue ver.
  • Connect Colors for Green ver.

Outside of the familiar section, Taik-color plays similar to Blessed Bouquet Buskers, where patterns are straightforward and only speed and stamina are points of challenge.

In punny goroawase trivia, other than the obvious 876 combo count, the low-speed parts at the start and end are at 87.6 BPM and the high-speed middle is at 187.6 BPM.

Note for title hunters: Oni Full Combo title is "'Hit the Taiko to Start!'" (「太鼓をたたいてスタート!」)
