Taiko no Tatsujin x Project Sekai Collaboration Announcement!

 After a teaser tweet showing a bunch of blacked-out Petit Chara silouhettes this past Sunday, earlier today it was revealed how the next Vocaloid-related event to happen is none other than a music game collaboration joint! 

The news came from a Project Sekai live YT broadcast that was aired earlier today (clipped-out portion, courtesy of Discord user jorj), discussing the stretch of the Taiko-related content landing there.

Song of the Week! 24 January 2026

One high-energy Namco Original, coming up!

Song of the Week! 17 January 2026

The Ura Oni talk for this year will start just as we ended (in part) the previous one... with music gaming collaboration talk!

Namco Taiko Blog (January 16th, 2026) - Nijiiro Version x Arknights Collaboration Reminder

Honestly, the title already says it all! There's nothing more to reiterate from the collaboration's original reveal from the last Taiko Team livestream, other that Chinese Donders will have to refer on region-exclusive schedule arragements via the official WeChat pages.

We'll toss one more reminder as an extra- don't forget that the same Arknights song duo will also become available next week on the Taiko Music Pass!
