ufoswn (UFO Swingin')If you couldn't tell by the opening hyperlink, aliens are on our platter today! The Rewards-Shop-debuting UFO Swingin' from Green Version is brought to us by a couple of unherd-of-before-in-Taiko artists: drummer Shibigaki (Twitter) -a self-professed "maker of indescribable music" and member of indie unit Mistaista (ミスタニスタ)- and the nick-named A.Dokuga (Twitter; YouTube), providing the lyrics and vocals for the moody track. Well, not entirely at least, as Shibigaki revealed on Twitter how the 'unidentified flying object U.F.O.' bit near the end was made by digitally processing his own voice! Being a brief English sentence, he also novered to have gone over 10 different tries before finding a suitable voice clip for the song.
Aside from the 'Mom and Older Sister' blurb on the YT page, we can't make that much about A.Dokuga with her social feeds being privated. One thing, however, speaks volumes on her dedication towards the Taiko cause (although mostly uncorresponded, as you're about to find out), and that is her original song contest contributions! Between the early 2020s' three Taiko music contests to date, A.Dokuga has contributed to a total of TEN original music entries, seven of which for 2020's Faith Creation-hosted contest alone! Among them, the most relevant one is an attempted sequel to UFO Swingin' in Yu-Rei Swingin' (removed from the contest page ever since, but still available online though independent reuploads), also the only one of hers to get honorable versions to date: Etou's Bronze award and Masubuchi's Silver award.
The other 2020 contest submission cameos of A.Dokuga are the following ones:
- One Night Dream (ワンナイト・ドリーム), also with Shibagaki like UFO/Yu-Rei Swingin'
- Don't Stop Emotion, starring HALLPBE.S
- Tenkyuu to Chikai (天球と誓い), starring Sh.r-y
- Ultimate ni Nare (アルティメットになれ), starring Vocaloid producer TC4MATRIX
- Pastelight, with VOCALOID-producing duo SISTER un sister
- Tsubamehime feat. A.Dokuga (燕姫 feat.A.Dokuga), with the nick-named Lamb.
The one song of hers we got into Taiko is not laughing matter charting-wise, considerng what's packed inside despite the shorter-than-average running length for a max-starred KFMO set these days. The note-laden assault is mostly carried by the insane speed rather than hybrid 1/3-1/12 hybrids, in which players may actually find a brief solace for denser-to-hit performing areas in the notechart to boot, averaging at 8.11 hits/second which just one full note short on average than modern Classic demon Charlie Dash! If you've wondered how an harder tale on Tank!'s Oni/Ura charts might look like with a meatier BPM on their bone, look no further!
