Namco Taiko Blog (April 30 2015) - Murasaki ver. in May, and Reitaisai/Touhou Game Show

 

Today's blog talks about the two titular things! While we did see a lot of them in the previous livestream, a blog post gives the matters more justice with more legroom for details. So, leeeeeeet's go!

May's DonChare Unlock:  紫煌ノ乱 Shikou no Ran
Zeami/Tatsh's latest (and last) installment of the high-level no Ran Series is here! Before it becomes playable in two more days, check out a small snippet of the song in the original blog post, or better yet, our preliminary Series feature with a full preview from a livestream and a run down on the history so far.

Caught up? Good. Then you might wonder why is the Oni turned out to be 10★ according to NicoNico Chokaigi 2015 goers, when it was voted to be "9★ closer to a 10★". Well Etou would like to redefine that term as:
the "for Donders playing notecharts around 9★, from here onwards, to make good use of the skills gained from the 9★ level when they take on 10★ and aim to clear. Of course, clearing not very difficulty among other 10★ notecharts, but for those who take aim at Full Comboing this, and going upwards to mastery, needing skills to easily deal the weak points required towards mastery" kind of notechart
...what a mouthful. Anyway, get those DonChare goals done (8 of them to be exact) from tomorrow onwards and get exclusive first-hand experience on whether Etou's explanation checks out!

May's Monthly Outfit: Tyrannosaurus
Let's not discuss whether a pink/magenta T-rex is historically accurate, but you can get the Tyrannosaurus (ティラノサウルス) head for free when playing once between May 1~31, and buy the Tyrannosaurus (ティラノサウルス) body in the Rewards Shop during the same period.

wow much strong such powerful

Taiko no Tatsujin at Hakurei Shrine Reitaisai 12
Like a couple times before, Taiko no Tatsujin the arcade is once again going to one of the biggest Touhou event ever on May 10! Expect special points such as:
