Do you remember the ZOLA Project contest? Briefly described in a blog entry, this Vocaloid contest gathered the effort of independent composers and prizes are given out by the sponsors of the event, one of which is Bandai Namco.
There were three slots for Namco, but only one song emerged victorious: Eccentric w (エキセントリックw), composed by GingahoumenP @ Jinno Takashi. This tune will be featured in Taiko no Tatsujin sometime in the future, while the composer receives a Taiko Wii U + Tatacon bundle for this award.
For the record, Eccentric w won with three other different sponsors (LIVE DAM, Lawson and Amuse prizes), meaning that the song's creator will see his creation being included in LIVE DAM's karaoke tracks, shopping chain Lawson's background music (among the other winners of that prize) and even being sold as an actual single in music stores! Truly an impressive feat, if you ask me.
