Hi guys, Zekira G. Drake here.
Again we'll be covering the recent Taiko Team Ustream. There'll be some details here that are very essential, so I suggest you read up! Alternatively (and I highly suggest more than just reading this), you can rewatch the stream in a link given on the jump. (I seriously recommend it because there are a lot of things that pictures just don't capture)

Anyway, here we go.
The stream starts with the usual "starting soon!" message but then suddenly gets cut into the advertisement for Taiko Wii Ketteiban. What?
The biggest highlight (IMO) at least in the advertisement is some spoilers of the in-game cutscenes of the story mode. Fuuga and Mirai look so epic!
After the commercial, we finally move on to the s- wait what? News digestion...?
More like... News Digesdon!
Aw yeah, here we go! Really interesting new format for the stream here!
As outlined, today's stream will be covering mainly about Taiko Wii 4, Taiko Wii Ketteiban.
Most of the details here at the start all things we already know, such as the 100 song best, etc.
WTF at 178 saying the entire songlist at such a rapid pace XD The entire Ketteiban songlist should be made into a tongue twister now :P
After the initial 'news item' that is Ketteiban, they then move on the next one and introduce some other members of the Taiko Team. They'd be playing the game.
lol wtf
People at twitter can request for which songs are to be played on stream
1P side: Matsumoto, the director of the game
I'm not sure what's that songlist below the name but I see they're trolling us by mentioning Yawaraka Sensha (Ura) lol [/annoyed]
2P side: Sasaoka
3P side: Masubuchi, a famous Taiko Team composer
He's drumrolling his stomach wtf
4P side: Kuboken
First song: Hakuuchou no Mizumi ~still a duckling~
"Se~no! Let's DON!" <---- man I love how these guys have fun
Man Masubuchi sucks at his own game lol, but that's to be expected :P
Results screen
Then 1P and 2P go off frame. Yamamoto-san picks up the 1P side and... Etou on the 2P side!
Etou gets to decide the next song...
...BLUE ROSE RUIN!
...
...
...eh?
LOL THEY DON'T HAVE IT UNLOCKED XD
Oh well they'll just go for Tsukikage SASURAI then.
Lol Etou got the Auto powerup like, two times in a row and he was just like prancing around while it was going
Results screen
Bit of a mismatch since Etou is actually quite good at the game, lol
After this, there was a comment about the director or something... I can't really understand what they're saying at this point. It's then followed by a video of the design team sketching stuff around the Donderful CD Album with X-DAY2000 as the BGM. Shouldn't it have been Hataraku2000 lol?
Wait a minute, THIS VIDEO IS A COMMERCIAL! I think this is simply a short break on the team or something... I think they're trying to unlock Blue Rose Ruin first lol
Then followed by another commercial for... New Taiko
New Taiko...?
No it's not! It's actually for that miniature Taiko AC figure that was seen many months ago! Not sure but I think it's actually retail available now, I guess?
And after that, we're back to the news!
Uh wtf
...what? No seriously even 178 is having those wtf moments here
...this part needs some serious translation, it's not funny without understanding it >_<
I don't know what 178 said but it finally got him up
Oh and this short portion of this post is just to tease the entire Taiko Time people here:
SOME WILL LAUGH WHEN I SCREW
SERIOUSLY WE'RE STILL NOT SURE HOW TO UNLOCK THIS SONG LOL
Moving on, this screen is actually from that practice mode, the one similar to PSP2's.
They outline the usage of this mode here. There's too many details to take note of, and it's relatively easy to understand, so I don't think it needs to be elaborated here.
And after that... MORE COMMERCIALS.
The first one being another variant of the Donderful Soundtrack commercial. (seriously can someone help me translate what's going on here?)
Next commercial is about some other Taiko Team guy that's advertising Taiko Wii Ketteiban by.... basically tonguetwistering everything he wants to say, that is, the good things about the game, such as AKB48, Hatsune Miku, over 100 songs, etc
The third commercial... "TTB -- Taiko Shopping". This portion features Hana-chan having a hard time playing the game. Then comes some random salesperdon (pun intended) which as typical, Hana-chan tells him to 'shut up and get out', but he gets to present Taiko Wii Ketteiban anyway lol. In the middle, to demonstrate it to Hana-chan, another skit is used to demonstrate that... IDK, I think that girls can also play this game well? IDK the number of gimmicks and modifications used in this video is too freaking hilarious that I don't know what I'm supposed to say! After that short skit, Hana-chan is still having doubts since she still can't clear Koibumi2000 on Oni. That's when the salesperdon introduces the new Taiko Kyoushitsu which allows players to practice parts of the song before going to the whole thing. Of course this is basically featuring that entire Taiko Dojo mode which happens to be the story mode of the game as well. After that feature, the salesperdon also shows a
trailer of the story mode...? Featuring the new characters of Taiko Wii 4.
We then get a glimpse of the name of the demonic character,
Arashi!
The screenshots here are um... spoilers of in-game cutscenes, so I won't bother posting them here.
Mirai~ (*´ω｀*)
(inb4 people take me out of context)
See even the salesperdon agrees with me :D
Then we get to know the character designer of the new characters, Mazuda Taku:
After more convincing, Hana-chan finally clears the song!
Yey
After some more advertising to Hana-chan, she finally buys the game. Though she was close to it, she almost realized that the salesperdon that she's talking to is Don-chan, but eventually gets brushed off lol
The next commercial would be another variant of the mini-TaikoAC figure again.
AND NEXT WE HAVE THE... OH GOD. MOST EPIC THING IN THIS STREAM EVER
BRACE YOURSELVES...
http://i43.tinypic.com/2vif5dv.jpg
I'll give you a moment to breathe.
OK then.
This part with the running Don-chan actually advertises the new Taiko, lol.
Oh... he forgot his Banapassport Card lol...
This is becoming too much for me XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
You seriously have to watch these, these are pretty impressive. Again, the link of the stream is at the top of this post.
And after the string of commercials, we're finally back to the news!
Next we're back to more info... that we already know. Derp. Things like AKB48, the campaign thing, Banafest Town, etc.
Oh and Bandai Namco Games facebook page
And then we move on to the biggest news of this stream... The Donderful Soundtrack details!
Jacket Size sticker included:
Released on December 21! Merry Christmas!
And here we have the site of the entire songlist; details included with the songs. Actually, this site is actually elaborated in the soundtrack post a few posts below this one, lol
Then we have that miniature TaikoAC model, available at December
After this portion, a lot of talking happened here which... I really don't know what they're saying. Sorry :<
The part when the director takes the mic, they seem to be talking about the Don-chan outfits though
After all that's done, they end the stream with a play of Taiko Wii 4's theme song, Momoiro Taiko Paradise, like in the first stream. Of course you gotta set the finishing mood to be a happy one, right? And I kind of actually like the song. In fact I kind of actually like the CS opening themes in general... lol
And I think that basically covers everything. The last part of the stream is just the Taiko Wii4 advertisement.
Alright, that's it. Again, I really recommend watching the stream yourself. Link is at the top of this post.
