Tying up some loose ends once again, with the leftover songs from the more recent DJ Fua Namco Original digital OSTs/YouTube compilations!
Tonde Mite Yokokawa Michihito feat. Yako from Danchinomiya

tondem (Tonde Mite)
The last track we still have to talk about from the sixth "Oddball" digital OST collection is also one of the debut originals from Nintendo Switch Vewrsion/Drum 'n' Fun, garnering its sole "permanent" stitting to date in conjunction with the i-device/Android game's song subscription Service! Tonde Mite is one of the Danchinomiya-powered debuts with World Heritage: Prelude, but unlike it we have an unheard-of-before composer for it: Yokokawa Michihiro (横川理彦), a renowned Kyoto violinist who became well-versed in acted parts as time went by on theathers and choreographic works in general. Beginning his carreer in 1982 under King Labels, his solo acts are as plentiful as his joint operations were, including his contribution in pop acts like P-MODEL, the nicknamed Haco (はこ)'s After Dinner and Metrofals (メトロファルス).
The Taiko debut of such an eclectic figure is marked in a peculiar song where the Taiko rhythm you play is arguably the leading one of the whole composition, as rather than following the base bits and its vocals, you might be off better by reading the patterns alone and warding yourself the way to a perfect rhythm! There also are some 1/12 and 1/24 charting bits along the way, so that focusing on what you hit rather than what you hear becomes even more crucial to a successful play.
Mainichi ga Donderful Taiko no Tatsujin Donderful Festival Theme Song
まいにちがドンダフル／「太鼓の達人 ドンダフルフェスティバル」テーマソング
138
sw2op (Switch 2 Opening)
From (one of) the former Switch entry, down to the most recent one! The peppy Japanese/English theme song to Dokodon/Rhythm Festival has been the soundtrack-closer for the latest (at the time) Original Soundtrack to receive the DJ Fua mix treatment on YouTube, as the last pick for the 'All Time Best Collection'... kinda hasty to dub a really fresh release as an all-time best already, wouldn't you say!?
We usually have to wait quite a while on "un-signed" songs to know who was behind each of those, but this can't be said for the latest among Taiko opening themes... even before its game was out, the cat was out of the bag! The gameplay video above these lines is from the official Taiko no Tatsujin YouTube channel, penning in the video description section a quite detailed section of the artists behind Mainichi ga Donderful (lit. 'Everyday is Donderful'), days before the game's General Asia debut. The composer, as well as the player of most of the instruments backing the song -Drum, bass, alto sax, tenor sax, baritone sax, guitar, trumpet and trombone- is Cory Tarrow, a freshly-recruited BNSI musician who already made his Taiko debut with the Rewards-Shop-introduced Agent Hustle & Dr.Hassle. Penning the lyrics for the song is former Taiko Team livestreams host Takeshito Sasaoka (笹岡武仁), now a member of Bandai Namco's BNALI internal unit and given life by female singing medium thanks to the duo of Joelle & CarolDiane and a generically-credited "BN boys and girls choir", featuring Dantefrom the Devil May Cry series as the English radio personality hijacking the groove along the way. The aforementioned BN-rooted choir alone counts 18 cheering performers, already trumping the number of involved creators of multi-hand Namco Originals like the MEKADON-titled one from Appare! Sandaime! Finally, recurring contributor Masanobu Murakami (村上正信) was responsible of the project's trackdown.
More notes than Tonde Mite for its Oni, sure, and at a similar uniform BPM pace at that, but its plain distribution across the song leans it on the more-manageable side o0f things for clearing purpoises, despite the brief Japanesque portion in the middle to remind the listener of Taiko gaming's oh-so-deep link to Japanese matsuri culture, in tone with our musical instrument of choice.
