Five new licenses are bound to be added to the ongoing arcade line, including the original version of the one J-Pop song that made the rounds of Taiko gaming across the years. It will also bear a unique notechart set from the one we've learnt by heart by now!

AI Battle Performance: Tweaks and Tricks
As anticipated in last month's update-bearing Taiko Team blog entry, this upcoming version enhancement will bring the "Select by difficulty" sorting option to the skills-honing solo mode for everyone to enjoy! Several songs with accounted section-clear-marking assorted bugs being released between March 2020/March 2021 will also be patched with this same update.

The rest of today's blog entry is just a retread of the last MyBachi-focused 'Taiko no Tatsujin Direct Mini' livestream that aired last week (our coverage here), this time around complete with reservation schedules for its two batches and links to let blog readers pre-order theirs.
