Namco Taiko Blog 2 (20 October 2011) - Taiko 10th anniversary 8th big news!

Geez they're really getting used to posting two entries side by side on one day. Why not space them out? We'd get so much fewer slow news weeks. Anyway...
The 8th big announcement is what I'm sure a lot of you would have been waiting for a long time already....It's.....a new Taiko OST!

You were expecting the album cover art? Sorry, Namco wasn't ready to reveal it yet! The name is out though, it's simply known as 'Taiko no Tatsujin Original Soundtrack 'Donderful!'(太鼓の達人 オリジナルサウンドトラック 『ドンダフル!』)'

3 years waiting since the 2008 soundtrack. Donderful! will feature over 60 songs from Taiko PSP DX, Taiko Wii 4 and Taiko HD, and of course some old classics. Intriguing though, that Namco also mentioned the album will have new, unreleased songs and songs that are supposed to come out next year for Taiko. Oh my god.

The album goes on sale on December 21 for 3150 yen plus tax. Six songs were announced for the album so far:

・パステル ドリーム (Pastel Dream)
・夢色コースター (Yumeiro Coaster)
・どんちゃん世界旅行 (Don-chan Sekai Ryoko)
・友情ぽっぷ (Yuujou Pop)
・宇宙SAMURAI (Uchuu SAMURAI)
・亜空間遊泳ac12.5 (Akuukan Yuuei ac12.5)

And that's the end of it....HOLD IT! There's actually a second soundtrack album to be released at the same time as Donderful! It's called 'Taiko no Tatsujin Original Soundtrack 'Full Combo!'(太鼓の達人 オリジナルサウンドトラック 『フルコンボ!』)' No details whatsoever on this one though, but it's been so long since the first Taiko dual album...This is exciting, to say the least!
