2nd Nippon Columbia Taiko Contest - Song Entries Round 3

 


A few days before the ongoing contest's submission deadline, we've been severed another page-and-a-half this past Thursday, serving both new faces and individuals with renowned Taiko precedents. Among both camps, ...
  • Space-Time Emergency, from Atsushi 'Garin' Koga (古賀敦史). While many of the entries of the contest are pushing to be as close to the 'around-2-minutes-length' rule as possible, this lively electronic jazz piece sits comfortably enough a bit shorter than that! What this doesn't give, however, is immunity from the Taiko Team's judgement, just like any of the other contest entries...
  • Shubiduba! (シュビドュバッ!), a 4-hands work between IKUTO and the nicknamed LIQU@ (read 'LIQUAT'), already winner of select bemani-grounded song contests with some commissioned jobs on the side (NANAIRO; Wonder Wonder Synchronicity among these).
  • Precious Paradoxical Puzzles, CHUBAY's third contest submission in a row and one that might be worth a 'hat trick' performance of sorts, should he manage to bring a third victory in a row! Will he match feats in the likes of Harunaba and such?!
  • Obliviscetur Historia, also from another artist who's joined three Taiko contests in a row -RiraN- but to no avail to this day. Joining him in his latest attempt is NeLiME of Leviathan fame from Deemo, the Taiko inclusion of which would most likely field this song among the "Regular Entries" pool instead of the newly-made 'Debuttant Artists' one. Don't give up just yet-!
