Livestream Recap: 2025/09/07 Taiko no Tatsujin Official Livestream

Today's livestream one sure is one to go in the history books! Between the arcade-oriented news talk, console/overseas series apprieciation and the hosts' playaful banter with each other (Force-choking and Etou Beams very much included!), there's surely something for every Donder to enjoy.

See you after the jump!

Song of the Week! 6 September 2025

 

Today's entry is here to state how selected Pops entries from the Taiko Team aren't pushed around in rather sketchy ways, as the slight scouting on yesterday's official blog entry on our part has seen...

Namco Taiko Blog (September 4th, 2025) - The Customary Pre-Livestream Nijiiro Update

It's almost time for the usual Ranking-Dojo-ushering official livestream and with that, we're greeted with the notice of three songs made playable for the first time.

There's something else we'd like to talk about today's entry on its own, so we'll see you after the jump for that.

Song of the Week! 30 August 2025

 

Ending the month of August for us is a rather unusual way to tie down BNSI/BNEI alumnis to a still-Bandai-Namco-related project, away from the games of the video kind and into the games of orange balls, hanging hoops and burning shoe soles...

Taiko no Tatsujin Donderful Festival early September 2025 Taiko Music Pass and DLC Updates

Three rounds of song delivery await us in September, the first o which already promising to bring in some big guns! Joining the overall debut of the latest Detective Conan-based theme (and the console debut of a recent Love Live! track), in fact, lies the two-times Tatsujin Ranking Dojo final challenge of Dairokuten Maou, Ura Oni on toe! Five RF/DF-exclusive Pops licenses will also be getting their own DLC-pack eternalization in the same day, with the 2020s Pops Pack.

The latest "removed song reparations" Ura Oni is also something of note, seeing how Fuun! Bachio Sensei is getting the Hibike! Taiko no Tatsujin treatment of receiving an unique Ura Oni chart to its shorter version! Unique indeed.

Song of the Week! 23 August 2025

 

It's the first Classic pick in quite a while! This ought to be familair to long-date Taiko players to hear, despite it being increasingly hard to scout in official titles...

[TDM] - End of Distribution for The Drum Master

 Before our usual Saturday shenanigans, we take the time to forward on the blog what was also shared on social media (also by us, among other parties) since the start of this month. The Drum Master, the first game in the series available to both xBox systems and PCs is going to be shut down on digital outlets, effectively marking the end of distribution for the game as no physical releases for it were ever made.

Starting from the end of September 30th, it won't be possible to purchase the game on digital storefronts anymore, although redownloads of the game for those who already purchased it will still be possible. As of now, all paid DLC packs won't be discontinued for the time being, both for redownloads as well as single purchase.
