Song of the Week! 4 December 2021

 
 
There's a Taiko-related reason for why this song has been picked for this one week... and for once, it's not about something related to it! Delve further and you'll see why...

The over-two-years-aged Don't Stop The Game is the third and latest (at the time) Namco Original contribution from HARCORE TANO°C label associate Myosuke 'DJ Myosuke' Murata, one whose song title was picked out specifically so that it could be shortened as 'Dongee' (ドンゲー), by admission of the author himself over Twitter (link). Just like for his God Collection piece Behemoth, Don't Stop The Game eventually made it to a song extension and a remix from fellow TANO°C member USAO for his 2021-start album EXTRA HARD, both of which being published on YouTube by the author himself as well (see here and here)!

On this Saturday, I chose to pick out something from a music gaming-related 'DJ' of sorts, seeing -as it turns out- that apparently there's a new Bandai Namco-proprietary 'DJ' to talk about, branching out from her YouTube debut with Taiko music compilations! As part of the company's ongoing efforts to house full-length original music in their associate channels as opposed to the short preview clips we're used to, now some of the older Namco Originals are having their own time to shine as part of custom DJ sets being published on the official Taiko no Tatsujin channel, with accompaning animation under the BanaDIVE AX engine and starring DJ Fua (DJフア) from the freshly-launched Taiko no Tatsujin Anime series on YouTube. The first of those 'Hit Songs Collection' animated DJ sets can be found at this link, going both as new as Blessed Bouquet Buskers and as old as Kita Saitama 2000!

Back to Don't Stop The Game, here's a max-starred KFMO sets whose latter trial definitely doesn't save any punches on the quick-note-couples department, with a side of scrolling speed trickery for hard reading times on both slow and fast lanes! In terms of difficulty, it definitely sits comfortably between the later-released PAC-TOY BOX's cluster intricacy and DEBSTEP!'s note density/readability shenanigans.
