Livestream Recap: 2026/05/31 Taiko no Tatsujin Official Livestream

Summer might be a few weeks away still, but the heat was already on with the long arcade happenings from this April! Today's livestream session with Etou and Kimizu is here to keep up the momentum with other arcade-related happenings, both current and from the near future. Buckle up!
