[NS2] - Springing Into EDM: March 2023 Taiko Music Pass Updates

A new mass batch of Taiko Music Pass songs is inching in, and right on top of Lokamp's favourite day to celebrate on the Internet! (Writer's Note: yaaaaaay...)

The Miku-powered Vocaloid share, however, is just 1/8 of the whole package on display, as the Pops genre's console front scores both a subscription first and a general series first in Dance Hall, possibly Ms.Green Apple song, but with no-artists-credited covers it's always hard to tell beforehand. What we can tell for sure is that another early 2000s piece of Namco arcade legacy is getting its Taiko debut in medley form, alongside the contest-trumping YOAKE enjoing its first home console foray. The same Miku song we mentioned is somewhat new too, as it's a cover of a GUMI song Taiko gaming already had for years!
