[ACN/NS2 MP] - The Connected Points of a Triangle

People in touch with our Twitter account's antics are already well aware on how nebulous the supposed official release of mobile devices' Taiko no Tatsujin Rhythm Connect actually is, to this day... but until that time comes, have its original theme song coming to the other two active axis of the franchise!

Indeed, Donderful/Rhythm Festival's Taiko Music Pass is bound to receive its theme song RHYTHM CONNECT right after Halloween, on November 1st! Nijiiro Version cabs will also receive the song on the same day, as revealed on Twxtter (link).

Song of the Week! 28 October 2023

 

Right before the spookiest of times hit the yearly scene once more, here's a little something that is gravely dreaded by media preservation-concerned people...

[NS2] - November 2023's Taiko Music Pass/DLC update

A Pops-less uptate is upon us, bringing in both old and new Anime songs in its stead. There's also the fabled 22nd Taiko anniversary song also gets a console port at long last, alongside another BNSI-fueled newcoming Namco Original!

Once again, we also have two former subscription/arcade-exclusive tunes becoming a stable purchasable piece of DLC alongside the returning flower song Venom. All of this shall be available near the next month's start, on November 2nd.

Song of the Week! 14 October 2023

 

At long last, we're back to talk about Game Music stuff!

Namco Taiko Blog (October 12th, 2023) - Early Autumn's Nijiiro Perfect Licensem@ster Class

 

Rising from the ashes of the heated Year4 Ranking Dojo conclusion, Nijiiro Version's happenings for the next few weeks are sure to bring up some spice to this Autumn's arcade scene!

Taiko no Tatsujin RHYTHM CONNECT and the Official Pre-registration Tour

After the tearful final update to Taiko no Tatsujin Plus Gakkyoku Tori Houdai subscription, it is time to look to the slated successor Taiko no Tatsujin RHYTHM CONNECT (RC hereafter).

After two months of early-access release only in Taiwan, today (2023/10/11) marks the start of more extensive promotion in the other regions scheduled for release. You can "pre-register" by adding the various LINE official accounts as friends, and be notified as soon as the official launch happens. As a bonus, a special icon and header image for social media use will also be available to you at launch.

Japan: https://lin.ee/jwBSKYh/gmel (Japanese)

Hong Kong and Macao: https://lin.ee/43OYprg (trad. Chinese)

Indonesia: https://lin.ee/2M08DVQ (Bahasa Indonesian)

Thailand: https://lin.ee/IVAHWZy (Thai)

N.B. Unlike some other mobile games, "pre-registering" here will not grant you additional in-game items. If you want a head start in RC, you might as well try to obtain the Taiwan early access and start early.

Meanwhile, the full version of the eponymous theme song RHYTHM CONNECT has surfaced on YouTube (with a dance-filled music video, embedded above) and other streaming platforms. Choreographed by powerpuffboys (パワーパフボーイズ) and performed by Yuki Miyoshi (三好佑季), Ren Tojo (東条澪) and Halca Kubota (久保田遥), the music video has already been added to RC in a late-September version update (1.3.0).

A commemorative campaign exclusive to Japan is also open until 2023/10/17 on X (previously Twitter). By following @taikosp and reposting the below post, you stand a chance to win one of 105 prizes including the huge Don-chan plush (5 winners) and RC sticker (100 winners).

In case you haven't been catching up on RC news, the Taiwan early access now has 655 tracks available after two additions. While that number includes only originals, Classical and Bandai Namco-associated game music for now, the official launch will come with 158 more licensed tracks, as well as three more Hololive tracks through Passport-exclusive preview. See the full list in the official site (under "COMING SOON" section).
