Here's a thing that we or the Taiko Team never really shoved down Donders' throats: that March 3 is the canonical birthday of our beloved drum brothers Don and Katsu Wada (counting the day that the spirits possessed the drums, similar to what you see in Wii1). It is just right there at the character intro section of the latest series portal website.
This year though, the birthday occasion is taking center stage with a brand new Taiko Ranked Match Event titled Don/Katsu Birthday Fest (どんかつ お誕生日フェス) between March 1 through 12 (starts/ends at 18:00 JPT). Like previous events, you can score a free new song for your song list by gathering Fest Points through Ranked Matches. The song choice does give us second thoughts about the notecharts and ratings because remember the Wii-exclusive Giant Note?
