[Plus/STH] - Taiko Plus Shinkyoku Tori Houdai's App Termination


Together with the announcement of the just-unveiled Taiko no Tatsujin RHYTHM CONNECT mobile app, it was announced the gradual shutdown plan for the ongoing Taiko no Tatsujin Plus app, the last long-standing Taiko game from the second arcade generation with its earliest versions dating as far back as 2010.

A popup detailing how the end-of-service procedure will go has been spread both in-app and on the official website, culminating with the full service deactivation on March 29th, 2024.


  • The final monthly song delivery updates for the Shinkyoku Tori Houdai subscripton service are scheduled for September 29th and near the end of October 2023; no more additional content is planned for the game afterwards.
  • The 3-months and 6-months STH subscription plans are unavailable to be purchased, starting from August 29th this year. Subscription renewal and related autobilling will be automatically disabled, without any input from the users. The 7-days and 1-month subscription plans will still be active, with the related purchase-disabled day for each being revealed in the coming months.
  • All song packs being purchased in the former versions of the Taiko Plus app on iOS are available to play until the app's end-of-service date.
