Key: red = series debut; blue = arcade debut

Vocaloid-powered entries are the name of the game for the latest additions to the Pops genre, also starring the return of one Taiko no Tatsujin anniversary ambassador for all of you charting-warcrime fans out there! Just like for Ransuu-chousei no Reverse Cinderella, Soshina is both the song's maker as well as the charter for its impending Ura Oni mode... What's going to happen, this time around!?

As an addendum to General-Asia fans out there, while these two songs won't launch at the same time as Japan's release, they're still scheduled to come at a later date.

Such a scenario is pretty much the same for what concerns one shmup-recurring trend which the Taiko no Tatsujin series is being invited to attend in the past few years!

The Taiko series is officially three times as proficient in the Touhou Project Arrange scene as of its standards, seeing how a third track arrangement is getting a playable release in 2021 in occasion of the yearly Hakurei Shrine Autumn Reitaisai convention. Taiko cabinets will also be making their cameos with someone from the Taiko Team, but if the ongoing pandemic situation gets worse, the event participation might be outright cancelled.

One (Hundred) Piece (more) of Collaboration Action

The Straw Hat Pirates' latest Taiko-fueled escapades are not done just yet, seeing how the 100-tankobon collaboration is entering a 2nd phase! For a limited time, you can square off against one of the fearsome Four Emperors with the One Piece Battle Performance mode by selecting any of the available One Piece and Namco Original songs, but watch out- he's not planning to play fair and square!

Much like the rest of the ongoing One Piece collaboration's contents, this mode is exclusively available to JP Nijiiro cabinets.
