Chirping Crumbles (October 5th, 2026) - Taiko no Tatsujin x Touhou Project 2026
【今年も開催決定！】 #東方Project × 太鼓の達人 2026 コラボ なんと今年は新曲が２つ収録されるドン!! 新規ぷちキャラなど、対象楽曲を遊んでもらえるごほうびも✨ 10/22(木)スタート！ 詳しくはこちら👇 https://t.co/o1vwVUN4Au #taiko765 #太鼓の達人 https://t.co/wyLqeEwL26

It's (almost) that time of the year: the girls are preparing for another arcade collaboration tie-in that is set to bring in both old and new content alike! Best thing, you won't risk having to travel down through (Former) Hell to get your mittens on it, as once again this collaboration will affect every geographical area with Nijiiro Version arcades at the same time, even Mainland China and the Americas!
For an extended rundown of the event, see you after the jump.
To paraphrase some beer-lover, "As usual, it is best not to die (of drum misinputs)".
Namco Taiko Blog (October 2nd, 2026) - A Pota-tastic Collaboration
Before walking through all the All Hallows' Eve zaniness by the end of October, its very start is ripe in the collaboration-versed horizon!
The first of such outings is the now-active Nijiiro Version collaboration campaign with salty snacks company Calbee's Jagarico fries, with a month-long campaign that started this past Monday with a unique new tune and matching outfits for Banapassport-geared Donders. Up until January 11th, 2027, every credit play starring the newly-added Jagariko Remix (じゃがりこ りみっくす) from the Variety genre will unlock one of the four full-body Kigurumi outfits, cycling in the same unlocking order: Salad (green), Cheese (red), Potato (Blue) and the elusive Mentaiko Cheese Mocha Flavor (Black).
Both the collaboration ties and the song addition are slated to be Japan-exclusive, coupled with a lottery event mid-November which is also for Japanese applicants alone; please check the event's dedicated minisite (in Japanese) for further insights into the raffle.
