Song of the Week! 28 March 2026


This ending March's Ura feature is less for the faint of heart... and moreso for the faint of belly! It's also the often-unsung hero of one sound company's collaborative efforts with Taiko no Tatsujin's arcade branch from the "Taiko 0" generation's latter end.

Namco Taiko Blog (2026/03/19): Nijiiro ver. March Update Kick-starts Seventh Year


Following last month's groundbreaking expansion of online update service to outside Japan, the upcoming update on 2026/03/25 (Japan) and 2026/03/26 (worldwide except mainland China) for Nijiiro ver. kick-starts the seventh year of the 4th generation with new and ported licensed tracks. See the "Track Updates" list after the jump for further information.

The Don Medal Shop also changes into the Spring 2026 season on 2026/03/26 (worldwide except mainland China), bringing in new and returning Namco Original tracks and ported Ura Oni notechart while displacing Summer 2024 items to the default song list. Don't forget to spend any remaining Winter 2025 medals before the count is reset!

Update (2026/03/27): As Don-chan Ekaki Uta is the only Ura Oni ★2 notechart in Taiko no Tatsujin Nijiiro ver., selecting "Random Track Selection" on that difficulty rating when you don't have it unlocked will crash the game. To resolve the issue, Don-chan Ekaki Uta will be removed from Don Medal Shop at 2026/03/28 7am JST and become playable for all players on Nijiiro ver. Those who spent Don Medals to unlock it will have the amount refunded.

This update also brings the Kamen Rider ZEZTZ collaboration campaign, available worldwide (except mainland China) at the same time between 2026/03/26~2027/02/28. Play VISIONS with Bandai Namco Passport (or equiv.)  to obtain the Kamen Rider ZEZTZ full-body outfit.
We understand that the previous Kamen Rider collaboration campaign (Gavv) was only available in Japan between 2025/03/26~2026/02/28 and not in other locales. We are pending confirmation from the Asia ver. official Facebook Fan Page on its status.

Update (2026/03/24): Kamen Rider Gavv collaboration campaign confirmed for worldwide except Japan and mainland China for 2026/03/25~2027/02/28. Play Got Boost? with Bandai Namco Passport (or equiv.)  to obtain the Kamen Rider Gavv full-body outfit.


Finally, a reminder that the clock is ticking for Ranking Dojo 2025, slated to end in late-May 2026 to make way for the next season (2026).
