Namco Taiko Blog (January 16th, 2026) - Nijiiro Version x Arknights Collaboration Reminder
Honestly, the title already says it all! There's nothing more to reiterate from the collaboration's original reveal from the last Taiko Team livestream, other that Chinese Donders will have to refer on region-exclusive schedule arragements via the official WeChat pages.
We'll toss one more reminder as an extra- don't forget that the same Arknights song duo will also become available next week on the Taiko Music Pass!

Taiko no Tatsujin Donderful Festival late January 2026 Taiko Music Pass Updates
January's latter half will see some fortuitous console debuts, including last Summer's song duo from the ongoing Arknights gacha game! A brand-new Namco Original from a BMS-famed talent is also in our cards, as it seems.
More importantly, we're also starting to get Vocaloid song debuts by popular demand from last year's Vocaloid song poll, with the original Hatsune Miku no Shoushitsu as the most requested song! As mentioned by the same reveal tweet, even the 2nd-placed song on the requests side will be made playable, albeit later on with title reveal on toe.

Namco Taiko Blog (January 13th, 2026) - Rewards-a-Plenty Campaign Sequel and 25th Anniversary Official Livestream Reveal
A sequel to the reoccurring free-outfits campaign is back, albeit with a slight title deviation!
Running from tomorrow (January 14) up until March 15th, the Dress-up Campaign 2025 Winter (きせかえザクザクキャンペーン2025冬) will net all Banapassport players both returning and brand-new Kigurumi customization elements (full-body costumes, 2-part outfits and Petit Charas), simply by playing in the campaign period. The first 10 elements are unlocked in sequence after each credit play, elements 11-20 are unlocked every two credit plays and the final stretch -elements 21-30- is awarded after three credits' worth of playing, one piece at a time. Just don't forget your Banapassport before entering the Song Selection screen! This campaign will air worldwide, with a separate version for mainland China players coming later in the year.
Another couple of topics were digressed in today's blog entry, for which we'll see you after the jump. One of the two, in particular, was brought by the combined efforts of Chinese Donders, no less!
