Taiko Time's Drumvent Calendar Encore!


Hello, everyone! The month of December has always been a big one when it comes to near-month expectations, thanks to the jolly holiday to lead them all. Christmas is approaching fast, and we're going to greet it in the same way as last year!

Every day of December until the 24th, there's going to be one choice song among the ones suggested by all users on our Discord server to be "dream picks" into Taiko gaming, be it with blog/server staffers or any and all server attenders or blog readers! After the jump is the selection as a whole, while every window of this peculiar advent calendar will be filled with hyperlinks for a quick redirection, over the small grid below these lines.

Have you caught up to our latest holiday surprise yet?

Song of the Week! 31 December 2023



Time for the last time this year I'm late for our weekly-scheduled appointment... largely because it also happens that today is the last day of the year, too!

Song of the Week! 23 December 2023

 

There's no Christmas Eve ('s Eve) without a bit of tradition, which begs the question of: what could feel more traditional for Namco-lead Taiko grounds than talking about a song from its very first game?

Song of the Week! 17 December 2023

 

...yeah, I know. Internet-related stuff on my end has been a nightmare to work on, so I had to post our weekly appointment on Saturday once again... hopefully a double-header will make this water under the bridge at a quicker pace!

Twxtter Snxppets (December 1st, 2023) - Rise of the Fourth Gen's 4th Contest Winners


The title says it all: the winners of the third Nippon Columbia-endorsed Taiko no Tatsujin contest are starting to get released as weekend warriors! Bear in mind that from 2/3 out of the nine winners (full list available in this previous Taiko no Tatsujin livestream recap) will be tournament songs for next year's arcade focused composition and as such, chances are these will be made playable there first, instead of being a Saturday-debuting tune like many in the past.

Opening the dances is the winning pick from a Diverse System label-affiliated composer, coming out tomorrow (December 2nd). Stay tuned for the other winners!
