First Video: ON SAY GO SAY and Studio Ghibli Newcomers





From one of the members in the act The Puh (of Omae Butamen! fame) comes the latest Namco Original addition to the top-difficulty-songs anemic Nintendo Switch Taiko title, starring text-to-speech action in both its lyrics and its very title, as the artist himself revealed on Twitter (link). If following the lyrics with mostly 1/16 pattern schemes, its 10-star Ura Oni will make you sweat for its high note density despite its short length, a-la Juukinzoku Fugitive!

After the jump lie the first videos for the new trio of Studio Ghibli songs, from the other song pack release of the day.

ON SAY GO SAY is not the only short-in-length newcomer with an Ura Oni for the day! Meet the ending theme for Kiki's Delivery Service, whose playable cut also clocks around the 1:30 minute mark with an extra difficulty layer for a less hectic difficulty jump between Oni charts.

Enjoy these two different flavors of pure 1/16 charting!





Last in line for today are a couple of rare specimen to talk about: two full-instrumental songs for the Anime genre!

While both are geared with a 7-star Oni cart, said modes' receipe to reach that end is different: the waltz-spiced tune from How's Moving Castle has a speedier tempo with some 1/12 and 1/24 clusters trickery sprinkled in, while the latest Totoro-related addition plays it on the pure 1/16 cluster barrage approach, flowing at a lower speed.
