Song of the Week! 16 October 2021

  

 

As today's newly-revealed song already has its seat booked in its dedicated Song Series Showcase, here's something different for our Saturday corner that is somewhat related to the latest Butou song entry. On the surface level, at least...

First Video: Isseifuubi

 

Thye latest fixed-branching-condition Oni treat is upon us, and it's the 10th iteration of a long-running Taiko song series too! While notewise Normal and Advanced courses don't differ than much, it's the differing adherence to musical notation to mark the difference on the charting approach. Not to mention the note collection that lies a but up ahead on the pink-colored forked path...

For the single video recordings of each of the paths singularly, please wait for tomorrow with our update to the Butou Song Series Showcase on this blog. Besides, we still have to talk about something else for today...

Song of the Week! 9 October 2021

  

 

Believe it or not, today's Saturday song has something in common with the Song Series Showcase that got posted earlier in the day; for you see, ... In roughly ten days, Zero is also going to be the number of official Taiko games housing today's pick (at least, as of this post's original posting date)!

Namco Original Showcase: Zero Songs

The 'Zero' cycle of Namco Original star composer Kyoko 'kyo' Miyakura (宮倉恭子) and the nicknamed Sariya-jin (サリヤ人) for a collection of Taiko-original tracks that wouldn't shy too far off from giant-robot Anime opening themes with a modern spin on, with additional support from Takanori Goto (後藤貴徳) for the guitar lead and Masanobu Murakami (村上正信) for the track-down process of all tracks.

Another key element of this series lies on each of the songs' titles, all starring the title-dropper zero as well as a different style of musical composition for each of the songs. No matter what style you're going to read for their titles, however, the outcome from this artist ensemble is always going to be a rock-styled track!
