Song of the Week! 18 January 2020


Happy birthday... to me! Yeeeeeeeee-

As my personal Top 3 selection of original songs from this rhythm game series didn't change at all since their inception (see here and here), how about we talk about today's song, that just came out today?!

Version
Allx4 (108)x7 (228)x8 (561)x10 (797)

Uchuu-hikoushi Boukentan (lit. 'Astronaut's Adventure') is the latest Namco Original release from Shogo Nomura (Twitter; SoundCloud), a piano player who made its way into Taiko gaming for his chiptune original pieces. Nothing much else is known about the life and former works of his works under the Shogo/Shogo Nomura (しょご/野村渉悟) nick-naming notation, outside the aforementioned online platforms and his Bandcamp digital album store. On Taiko shores, we know for sure this is not his first foray into the series, with his song Colorful joining the ranks under the Blue Version regimen, as a Rewards Shop unlockable piece.

Sharing the same mode ratings as the very same Colorful, this peppy tune's most challenging chart falls more on the easier side of the modern 10-star spectrum, albeit offering quite the tempo signature variety all along. Be sure to let the song guide your hits, as scrolling speed shenanigans ensue between soft drops and highs on the scrolling speed modifier!
