Namco Taiko Blog (February 17th, 2025) / Livestream Recap: 2024/02/16 Taiko no Tatsujin Official Livestream

...okay, that title is quite the mouthful, but that's more on the point of us doing the usual post-livestream talk in a hybrid way! Seeing how the Taiko Team is starting to offer their own broadcast recap via blog entry and considering the short length of yesterday's run, we're leeching out of the blog entry for the overall rundown, while also highlighting a few of the reveals that were left out in the official blog entry.

We've also got some more precise dates pertaining some of the covered content that were only posted with today's blog entry, so we can be sure that EVERYONE can take away something new out of this!!

Song of the Week! 15 February 2025

 

As we're heading towards a series-anniversary-themed livestream, here's one of the original songs made to celebrate the passage of time for the Taiko no Tatsujin franchise!

Following up from the first update batch, the Taiko Music Pass this month is getting another 4-songs serving in exactly a week of time from now, hell-bent on giving a 2nd home to former licenses and Namco Originals which were only available on a Taiko entry beforehand. Among these, we also have the return of Donut Hole from V Version, although this time it's the more-known GUMI version instead of the previously-featured one with producer Hachi being its singer!

Also notable is the debut of another Strawberry Prince song, the second of four tracks to come out in a bi-monthly fashion across March's Taiko Music Pass updates. See you there for the remaining couple!

Song of the Week! 8 February 2025

 

It's another Pops day around here, one that is more arguably leaning towards the Game Music sphere like the Tales series' Bump of Chicken songs of yore. Away we go!
