[RANDOM] - Audio Deka's Official Youtube Recordings (+ Extra)

Although Taiko-focused streams are a thing of the past nowadays, the Namco musicians-powered Audio Deka drama series is still kicking strong with occasional new episodes for their NAMCO SOUNDS livestream line... Such is the case of this 5th episode, which has been uploaded on the sound team's Youtube channel.

Not only that, all the former episodes were published as well, grouped into their own dedicated playlist! If you want to relieve the silly antics of the audio detectives with pristine video quality, now there's an official way to do so.

Namco Taiko Blog (August 28 2019): An Eggs-hilarating Autumn Breeze of Green ver. Updates

About one month apart is a good rate for Taiko no Tatsujin Green ver. update to pump out. So how about one coming to you on September 4 2019 sounds? As always, we will let the song list prelude them all:

Site Announcement: Taiko Time 9th Anniversary!

It's still August! Still on time for the Taiko Time 9th Anniversary celebration! Real world obligations! You know that from last few years already!

It is during this past year that Taiko no Tatsujin is back into the global spotlight outside of just Japan, Asian arcade goers and foreign importers, thanks to the double whammy of PS4 Session de Dodon ga Don and Nintendo Switch Version both getting their worldwide versions. No matter since whenever you decided to join our little voyage, thank you for sticking with us for your English-translated Taiko no Tatsujin information.

This year we have the staple Anniversary Quiz plus a little side tournament (last done in 6th Anniversary), but with quite a twist in the format compared with past years. I guess I'll let the event post do the talking in further detail then, coming September 1.

Song of the Week! 24 August 2019

Within the sea of BMS-popularized Variety additions we're getting on the arcade fields from Spring to this Summer, there's one peculiar song that could be easily associated to this independent artist corner while not being an actual BMS addition!

It's time to welcome back one CreoFUGA-winning talent under his other, most-known alias...

[RANDOM] - Taiko no Tatsujin's 4-koma Manga Serialization

Since June of last year, Corocoro Magazine has been hosting a comedic Yonkoma (lit. '4 Panels') for a younger audience, falling under the title of Taiko no Tatsujin 4koma-saii de Dodon ga Don! (太鼓の達人 4コマ祭でドドンがドン！).

Starting on August 28th, this series will start getting a separate serialization of its strips, with the release of the series' first tankobon! Under this new guise, the series will also receive a slight title change, in Taiko no Tatsujin 4koma-saii de Dodon ga Don! Don-chan Sawagi-hen (太鼓の達人 4コマ祭でドドンがドン！ どんちゃんさわぎ編).
