Namco Taiko Blog (August 9th, 2023) - A Million Ways To Drum in the Nijiiro



The next Anime adaptation out of the Idolm@ster anime is about to air, with the arcade Taiko fields already being prepped for the occasion! We've got all sorts of hints and bits we documented over our Twxtter, but today we're coming clean with an official rundown and a little something more to it.

Running from August 23rd to October 15th this year, Donders around game centers will be able to gather tickets by playing Idolmaster credits to spend over Donder Hiroba for new Petit Charas/title plates on display up here, as well as to separately enter a chance raffle for winning Million Live-themed Taiko keychains. It's basically like your yearly Touhou Project arcade campaign, only you might get something physical out of it (if you're in Japan, that is)!


The Touhou-campaign-drawing parallels doubly work in our favor today, as what it appears being 2023's first and presumably only new Idolm@ster song will launch with the campaign's beginning! Look forward to the Million Live opening theme Rat A Tat!!! becoming a playable Nijiiro Version tune from August 23rd onward.

More on the campaign's rundown can be found in its official page. The website's Enbglish version also displays an English cut of the same image-based infographic!


TnT Official Livestream @ YouTube - September 2023
Today's blog entry is also here to set the stage for something more than just idol routines! The next livestream run for the series is scheduled to air on September 3rd, 6 pm (Japan time), promising a pro-oriented focus for those who are looking forward to 2023's final Ranking Dojo main courses.

Coming back is also the usual pre-livestream question corner for all your arcade-oriented inquiries! If you got one of your own, head over to this link and leave yours before August 31st. No international-oriented Questant links for now, so if anything fails on that front just use the main, JP-rooted one.
