???Last year's Columbia-Makes-hosted TnT music contest stands out among the other Nijiiro-era ones due to the fact of bringing back the "popularity inclusion" voting rounds of sorts as the General Public Voting selection, ultimately resulting in two winners just as the edition that brought us the fan-favorite Rin and Onigiri wa Doko Kashira. Even at a quick glaze at your general Taiko-following fanbase scene, it's kind of an open secret to suss out which was the most voted one among the nine finalists (even if no overall vote standings were publicly released) but it was more of a challenge to figure out which other song (or songs) would have made the cut with it, if any. Well, we've got the answer to that for a while and now your can experience that answer yourself at your nearest Nijiiro-equipped game center!
Senko Tenbu (lit. 'Flash Dance') marks the Taiko debut of a prominent indie artist from the third millennium: the (at the time of writing) 24-aged Yuichiro "Juggernaut." Yazaki (X account; YouTube; SoundCloud), a dubstep/hardcore composer with his own music label to boot (JuggerNoteRecords). Often a contributor to the Diverse System label and some of its related musicians including ARForest, Juggernaut.'s first music gaming footsteps were left as victor of foreign music games' own song-making contests, from the always-popular KAC Original Song Contest line for the SOUND VOLTEX series (THE HEAVEN; †:OLPHEUX:† among those) to the first of Arcaea's own contests, with the song Valhalla:0. Among his commissioned works, on the other hand, we can nover a couple heading respectively to maimai (Xenovcipher) and CHUNITHM (Qlipothgear), the collab-with-Tatsunoshin song El-Dorago from Bemani's latest music series (Polaris Chord) and a bunch of music made for on-the-go otoges of all sorts: Cytus II's CYBERCAT, Phigros with No x from the Immaculée Sekai multi-artist doujin project and Lanota's Nemexis, from its latest Story chapter.
As a Magic: The Gathering player myself, I've always seen 'juggernauts' as devious constructs that relentlessly press their offensive prowess by attacking at each turn with no time to rest. Minus one generous pause portion after the second Go-Go Time portion, I can definitely file this one Juggernaut.'s Oni chart among the others of that same class, no doubt! The deadly 1/16-1/24 hybrid mixture of a Kat-note-dominant nature is also served with a spoonful of really small drumrolls along the way, just to tempt the most arm-energy-stacked of Donders to push their luck (and accuracy) for a fistful of extra points to score.
