[PS4/NS] A Tokyo Divided in Rap Marks Two Games United in DLC


Both Taiko no Tatsujin Session de Dodon ga Don (PS4) and Nintendo Switch Version are getting the same song as DLC on September 5 2019, by the price of 150 yen plus tax:

PS4/NS DLC Song: September 5 2019

Title
Hypnosis Mic -Division Battle Anthem-
ヒプノシスマイク -Division Battle Anthem-/Division All Stars
★?★?★?★?
Key: red = series debutblue = console debut

The song is for the eponymous rap production multimedia project originating from 2017 featuring 12 male rappers divoded into four locality divisions.  Currently there is no further pretense story from the other side.

As additionally noted by the official Taiko no Tatsujin Twitter feed, the full version of the song will be used; guess it is hard to cut up the song when most of it is solo portions for each of the 12 rappers. That makes the 5.5-minute song the new longest playable song in Taiko no Tatsujin ever. Whether it will break more "Taiko Guiness" records (like highest notecounts etc.) is unknown until actual release.



Also unknown of whether related to the immense length and storage of gameplay data, this is also the first song on PS4 to NOT be compatible with the game's specialty modes of Friend Session Performance, Taiko Ranked Match and Best Replay Performance. There is no restriction on Nintendo Switch Version's Don Katsu Fight mode, or normal local two-player sessions on PS4.
