[DF] July '25 Taiko Music Pass songs (1/2) and Nursery Rhymes/Popular Songs Pack


Just like this soon-ending June, eight songs are scheduled to come to the TMP service next month, with the first four-fold delivery happening next Thursday. From licensed debuts (with non-covers on toe!) to formerly-arcade-exclusive April Fools treats and one of the closest 10* Oni not to be rated as such, there's a little something for everyone... Not to mention the obligatory "reparations-for-Music-Pass-deletion " Ura Oni debut of yesterday!

Icing on the cake is the reveal of a children-friendly song pack for all versions, the first one made of songs that are currently not available in the Taiko Music Pass! As the title suggests, it's made of nursery rhymes and other children-friendly tunes, some brand-new and something harking as back as the PS2 days with Furusato and Fuji no Yama (Fuji-san in the final PS2 game) from the physical-rehabilitation arcade machine Taiko RT Nippon no Kokoro.

Song of the Week! 21 June 2025

 

This heated Summer-starter is all for the freshly-revealed BNSI music talent to have left the company, with his lone playable entry for the Variety genre across Taiko games.

Chirpring Crumbles (June 17th, 2025) - Decade-Old Departures of a Time-Gap-Separated Manner


Our pre-SotW recap showing from social media of the soon-ending week have all occurred near its very beginning, starting off with the Summer-opening tradition from Bandai Namco's past.

It's been 10 years since the long-discontinued Synchronica was launched and this year we only got one (yet iconic) song transplant to show up for it: Minna no Uta, the de-facto 'theme song' of sorts for the major firmware update that the game has experienced a few years on! The song was made playable since the day after on Japanese Nijiro cabs.


Also under the same "farewell" tones but of a different nature, we also came to know how longtime Namco musician Sato Takafumi has departed from the company this past March. The career coming-out reveal comes from the same artist a few months after the fact, as a way to introduce the social media side to the next working endeavor as the executive producer of a proprietary, just-launched music talent agency by the name of 2nd STAR PRODUCTION. Sato Takafumi will still work on the few Namco-related projects with collaborative contractual residues on, including the Gakuen Idolm@ster spinoff as its lead music producer.

Song of the Week! 14 June 2025

 

Right at the just-passed May's tail end, we've got one more series-debut thanks to Pop Tap Beat's erratic song distribution antics! Let's have a listen of it for ourselves.

[DF] - June '25 Taiko Music Pass Songs (2/2)


We take one last pre-SotW post slot to prop up the latter-half June's TMP load, featuring the second of the promised Gakuen Idolm@ster songs and a brand-new Namco Original from the the artist behind Little White Witch and the recently-ported-on-Nijiiro Minna no Kaki-goori.

Don't forget to also check out the MV of UNBIAS, the latest WADIVERSE song to get a simultaneous debut on both Taiko Music Pass and Nijiiro fronts, two Thursdays ago!
