Twitter Snippets (16-17 November 2015) - AOU Phase 2 Teasers and a Taito Good-Bye


Be it on the AOU's Twitter account on in other livestream events, we finally got new updates on the 2nd Tenkaichi Otogesai's Final Block contents, although being peppered with a side of sad news for Taito fans.

As also noted by chatbox user Gozeison, ZUNTATA member and Groove Coaster sound director Hirokazu 'COSIO' Koshio is graduating from Taito's in-house musician unit in the near future, leaving his key roles in the aforementioned rhythm game series as well.

With that said, the announcement (which was made in the latest of the ZUNTATA Night livestream series) was paired with another reveal proving that he's far from retiring the musical games scene, as the Groove Coster franchise will have another COSIO song as Tenkaichi representing tune! The track Black MInD will be made available in GC arcades on November 26th, so it's very likely that we are going to see the other Final Block songs in the same day.

For the reveal of the other Final Block songs, however, we'll have to wait one more day, as the Tenkaichi website will be updated with all the rules and songs of the tourney's latter half.
As a way to round things up, the AOU Twitter account re-tweeting the news of the next Japan Amusement Expo's dates pretty much tells us that the 2nd Otogesai tournament might end during the aforementioned JAEPO event, set on February 19-20 next year.
