Magazine coverage for Taiko no Tatsujin Nintendo Switch Version is found, and here is a preliminary shot from it!
While the shot is too limited in quality to make out any actual song names, we can make out the gist for the new mechanics of Performing Character (演奏キャラクター). Before you play a song, you have the choice of alternate characters with special Performance Skills (演奏スキル) that tweaks the gameplay in various ways. With that you can make your drumming performance easier for you. Isn't that basically the modifier mechanics though...?
For now, the characters confirmed from the shot are:
- Don-chan
- Kat-chan
- Calcutta=Dondi
- Yomogimaru
- Bachio Sensei (with the skill confirmed to be automatically differentiating Dons and Kats, i.e. Donko Mode in PSP2 or partly Support Lv.2 from PS4)
- Wada Inu
- Wada John
- Chouchin Unagi
Addendum (2018/04/14): Additional textual reports from wikihouse, the magazine above should be the next issue of CoroCoro Comic, and from which also confirms more songs:
R.Y.U.S.E.I.

Addendum (2018/04/15): More songs confirmed by wikihouse commentors via the same CoroCoro Comics appearance:
