Tenkaichi Otogesai 4
If our coverage on the imminent fourth Tenkaichi Otogesai collab-tourney hasn't satiated you due to the lack of concrete song-related details, this one should have done it. With the shop preliminaries for the tournament cycle slated to happen mid-to-late November, the songs for that are coming to cabinets in AOU participating store on October 13 (except CHUNITHM, which get the songs on November 2 instead). The Tenkaichi Otogesai website has also been updated with song profiles and artist blurbs.

Coming into Taiko are the TO3-shop-preliminary exclusives from Sound Voltex and Groove Coaster, and one select song from the newcomer CHUNITHM. Going out to all other games from Taiko would be the familiar Sacred Ruin by Drop and GIW feat. vocalist Yura Hatsuki. These four songs will be gathered in the returning "Tenkaichi Otogesai" folder for easy navigation.

Act! Addict! Actors! collaboration

Next on the schedule is the long-since teased collaboration with Act! Addict! Actors! (A3!). Featuring Sakuya Sakuma, Tenma Sumeragi, Banri Settsu and Tsumugi Tsukioka respectively from each of the four troupes as dancers, the game's theme song will hit arcades on October 18, together with Petit-chara outfit parts obtainable just by playing the song with a Banapassport. Remember also the thematic collab merch coming to prize-grab machines too.



Session de Dodon ga Don Release Commemoration

Coinciding with the release of the new home console Taiko no Tatsujin game, the new theme song will be available on the arcades on the same day! Same for the two brand-new songs from the already announced DLC (Konamono☆ is even stealing the thunder from the original DLC), but on a limited schedule for now. The arcade part of the imminent Deemo collaboration is also here with Saika making a same-day appearance here.

Other Miscellaneous Stuff
  • Some of the new songs are also equipped with Issho ni Waiwai Ensou support.
  • Yellow ver.'s second Title Part Gasha also begins on October 11 together with the update. Check the Donder Hiroba for more on this.
     
  • Tweaks on the display effects in Issho ni Waiwai Ensou, like for the Hand-holding notes, solo zones and duet zones.
  • New Full Combo titles from some of the new songs (or at least on select notecharts), available with the respective songs' release.
