[ACN/NS2/Plus] - The Omiko Sisters' Namco Original Debut!



It has been teased for a long while over the OmikoSis Channel videos that the Taiko web Anime series's Omiko City DJ duo of Remi and Fua would have had their own song to drum your hearts out and as of today, the wait is over! It also comes with quite the hefty trove of content for all cross-systems-playing Taiko enthusiasts out there.


Title
Suki ni Riyuu wa Iranai Jan! OmikoSisters feat. Ponchi♪
スキに理由はいらないじゃん!/オミコシスターズ feat. Ponchi♪
★3 ★6 ★6 ★8
Key: red = series debutblue = arcade debut

Brought to us by the same composer whose contest-winning song was used for the duo's very first music video, Remi and Fua's debut Namco Original is already available to play across three different platforms simultaneously: the ongoing Nijiiro Version, the Nintendo Switch's Dokodon/Rhythm Festival (on the Taiko Music Pass) and the everlasting Plus Shinkyoku Tori Houdai on smart devices.

It's also possible to be welcomed by the cheery duo in Petit Chara form, on both arcade and Switch grounds! Just play their debut song once to have them unlocked (or buy them from the ingame store for the latest console entry). Just, don't pay that much attention on English versions quoting the two as coming from the past Nintendo Switch game instead of the web Anime series...



Aside from being a song with a title being 'inspired' as a possible retort to the expression of disgust that a girl might feel when being flirted by "some guy who still plays Taiko at the arcades" (no, really), Suki ni Riyuu wa Iranai Jan is also the first Namco Original being credited as belonging to its own in-house label of WADIVE RECORD, one that already has its own dedicated page in the official Taiko website and is listed as a song category on its own in the aforementioned Dokodon Festival, although there's only this one song for now. Look forward to hear more about it!
