crossbeats REV. Sunrise Collaboration
Do you know Rio Hamamoto? His works on Taiko no Tatsujin are mostly Game Music (Venomous, Angel Halo) but recently he also got into ties with pLumsonic's Yuu on Maow and Hoshikuzu to Rinia to Boku.

Now, do you know Naoki Maeda? He has garnered Konami success with DDR and beatmania compositions, and recently he has also written for Capcom's Cross Beats series... you know where we're going with this, right?

In brief, Maeda is about to have a song on crossbeats REV. this coming Friday titled Over Clock ~Zenchou~, and now its sequel Over Clock ~Kaihou~ is coming first to Taiko no Tatsujin with Red ver., while crossbeats REV. getting it later in August. In return, Hamamoto's original composition SAKURA EXHAUST will similar go to crossbeats REV. first and then to Taiko in August. crossbeats REV.'s main character Akatsuki (暁月) also becomes available as Petitchara when you play Over Clock ~Kaihou~.

3DS3 Dokodon! Mystery Adventure Tie-in
Following the tradition of 3DS console Taiko games being able to get something from AC0, scan the QR code on Red ver. pop notices for the Chibi-Don Mikoshi battle member a la PSPDX. And while you're there at the arcades, why not play the 3DS3 theme song to unlock Tia Ride (body) and Popokaka (head) outfits on AC0R too?
