(1*) - Japanese debut of the song, as it was already available in Nijiiro Version cabinets from mainland China's loctests/full release.

Once again, it's a trilogy of brand-new licences' time to shine, alongside one lucky pickup from the ongoing Taiko Music Pass service from the 2nd Nintendo Switch game! One of these will also usher the wat to another arcade-only campaign...

-) Taiko no Tatsujin x Idolm@ster Shiny Colors Collaboration
In order to celebrate the theathrical release of the three-movie-split-into upcoming Idolm@ster Anime series, its opening theme Tsubasa Gravity will become a playable tune... alongside the launch of a proper collaboration campaign for it!

Much like for the soon-ending Million Live! campaign, Banapassport players will be able to gather a new set of tickets by playing Idolm@ster songs, which can be used for either one of the 3-ticket-per-pull Donder Hiroba lotteries for a trio of new Shiny Colors Puchi Charas and Title Plates, respectively. This jig will run two days from Tsubasa Gravity's debut day (October 27th) up until January 25th, next year.



This time around, people can also join a QR-code-leading raffle to get one of three acrylic keychains, each starring one of the same key Cute/Cool/Passion attribute idols from Shiny Colors. To learn more about the campaign, just hop over its collaboration page!

-) Hakurei Shrine Reitaisai Autumn 2023 x Taiko no Tatsujin
Another returning Taiko campaign for the seaso of leaves turning yellow is the yearly return to Touhou Project shenanigans, one for which we already got a taster during the very last official Taiko livestream.

Indeed, this year's early-bird song to be playable at Autumn Reitaisai is the briefly-teased original mashup of Cirno's Perfect Math Class and Namco Original !!!Chaos Time!!!, aptly named !!!Cirno's Perfect Math Class Time!!!. The screen below comes from the brief collaboration page for this Autumn Reitaisai event, going live on November 12th, with no word on any other accompaning Touhou campaigns for now.

!!!チルノのパーフェクトさんすうタイム!!!

The news was now posted with today's blog entry for a broader reach, so check it out once more to see what have been the judges' deciding factors for the winner selection, and also to see if some of your personal faves were at least honorable-mention-worthy for the deciding staff, if not one of the victors!
