Namco Taiko Blog (2021/05/17): The Peachy Side of the Moon: Momoiro Clover Z Collaboration


In celebration of Taiko no Tatsujin's 20th Anniversary, the "Weekend Heroines" idol group Momoiro Clover Z are back for another tie-in campaign with Taiko no Tatsujin after the first one in Momoiro ver. (2013), and this time "heroines" means more than one aspect!

The campaign begins today (2021/05/17), which happens to be the group's 13th Anniversary as well. Outside of a congratulatory video by the four current members, the main meat of the campaign is the addition of two tracks going to all three current games:

The first of the two, Tsuki'iro Chainon, has already been made available in Nijiiro ver. (default tracklist, Japan only), Nintendo Switch Version (individual paid DLC, 150 yen+tax) and Plus Shinkyoku Tori Houdai (Gakkyoku Tori Houdai subscription).

While currently undated, the second track is a renewed rendition of the group's classic Saraba, Itoshiki Kanashimi-tachi Yo from their new album "ZZ's II" (read as "double zeds two"). While it is not returning to the latest generation arcade, it will make an appearance in Nintendo Switch Version (paid DLC) and Plus Shinkyoku Tori Houdai (Gakkyoku Tori Houdai subscription).
