Taiko no Tatsujin Red/Blue


The first two Taiko soundtrack CDs, each containing about 30 songs from various genres. Both Taiko no Tatsujin Red (太鼓の達人 レッド) and Taiko no Tatsujin Blue (太鼓の達人 ブルー) were released on April 23, 2003, and are named for the colors of Don-chan and Kat-chan (the two different colors of notes used in the Taiko no Tatsujin game). Red/Blue were released to coincide with the first (and second) Taiko console game on PS2.

There are no major differences between the two. Red has anime songs, Blue leans towards J-Pop songs, and the rest is made up of a mixture of the other genres. The final song in each CD (number 33) is a medley of all the songs before it on the disc, and neither one of them has appeared on any Taiko game, ever.

Being such an old album, Red/Blue is long out of print, and has become a desirable collector's item, fetching quite a high price on online auction sites.
