Twitter Snippets (24 November 2015) - 2nd Tenkaichi Otogesai's Last Songs (With a Side of Bad News)




While the 2nd Tenkaichi Otogesai songs on Taiko no Tatsujin and Synchronica will reach the opposing arcade family this Thursday, the other 3 rhythm game franchises in the tournament will have an extra song for the Final Block round. With the Groove Coaster track being unveiled a few weeks back (see here!), we have the maimai and SOUND VOLTEX series left, whose tracks got revealed today.

For Sega's maimai ORANGE+, we have the song Axeria from the independent music circle AcuticNotes, while SDVX III GRAVITY WARS gets Moonlight Ranbu (月光乱舞) from happy hardcore bemani composer P*Light.

All seems normal, but the hint of something bad happening in the event's background can be caught by taking a closer look at the latest development update posts made by the not-Bandai Namco music games in merit of the latest Tenkaichi Otogesai song additions (quick links to the announcements for Groove Coaster, maimai and SOUND VOLTEX). All of the following updates mention only their franchise-proprietary song coming this Thursday with, once again, no mentions to the other recently-revealed tracks.

This, unfortunately, seems to confirm a trend for this edition of the Tenkaichi Otogesai that was already in the air with the first round of songs: unless something else will be said by the AOU on the subject matter, none of the songs being introduced by this event is going to reach out the other external rhythm game franchises, with the sole exceptions of Taiko track Aka no Senritsu coming on Syncronica and Synchronica track Yoake Made Ato 3-byou coming on Taiko.
