As the title suggests, Taiko no Tatsujin 20th Anniversary Commemoration! Announcing Long-awaited Info on Official MyBachi with a Bam!! Livestream (太鼓の達人20周年記念！気になる公式マイバチ情報をドーンと大発表！！生放送) mainly concerns the upcoming merchandise, but the last third also gives us a bit of musicality.
The 2021 line of the Official MyBachi boasts the official seal of approval from the Taiko no Tatsujin brand, compliance with Japan's prevailing product safety protocols, and high quality from the hands of expert crafters from Japan. This release comes in three types: Aka (朱), Ao (蒼) and Yamabuki (山吹), each having subtler attribute differences outside of just the color of the grip tapes:
(NB. English translation is added by us and not available on the official site)
An album of photos showcasing the three types and the intricate crafting process can be found on the new official site for the line at https://taiko.namco-ch.net/taiko/mybachi/.
Priced at 4980 yen (+tax), the Official MyBachis will be available starting July 21 2021 in Japan (through select stores and online preorders), and in mid-August 2021 for other locales.
Taiko Team/Bandai Namco is also expected to hold other outreach campaigns for the Official MyBachis. A Taster Event on July 25 2021 at Namco Umeda (Osaka, Japan) lets Donders try out each of the three types (and purchase if you are inclined). The Official MyBachi Supporter Recruitment exercise, on the other hand, will look for enthusiastic Donders to help spread the awareness on social media platforms. Stay tuned on the Official MyBachi official site for details on these campaigns.
And the last third of the stream moves onto updates for the "Taiko de Time Travel" commemorative music project, revealing the titles and small snippets of the four upcoming tracks coming to most current Taiko no Tatsujin games between July and October 2021:
