It's almost that time of the year again, where arcade music gaming and the Touhou Project doujin following intertwine in the yearly Hakurei Shrine Autumn Reitaisai convention, this time around scheduled to run on October 6th.

Today, we got the usual notice of which external software houses (and related games) will come by. Will Taiko be part of the roster, this time around?

We were going to keep it light on the reports from the Next-gen World Hobby Fair '19 Summer this weekend, given that the exhibiting cabinets will be set to only feature the AI Battle Performance mode (which is already publicly available). But then this happened.

In brief, event goers has found this following song in the Anime genre that is not available in public cabinets. Being only available in the exhibition floors, there is obviously no video for it, so we will only work off the snapshots of the song selection and result screens.

We also have reports that the exhibiting build has the last arcade appearances of songs from the latest removals, including Gimme Choco!!, Nimensei☆Ura-omote Life! and Aozora no Rhapsody.

Today it's a celebration for the virtual YouTuber Kizuna AI's birthday! We look at the two songs made available today for that very occasion, as well as picking up the last of the videos for the AI Battle Performance additions, which Lokamp added retroactively to Thursday's post.

Namco Taiko Blog (June 20 2019): Future Drumming, VR Drumming, La-la-la

Recommended music for this post's title: Future Lab

The June 27 update to Green ver. (featuring rival AI technology from the year 2765) is not the only futuristic development we have. Now behold Taiko no Tatsujin VR da-don! (太鼓の達人 VRだドン！)

Coming soon as a VR Acitivity for the Bandai Namco-operated VR ZONE OSAKA in Umeda, Osaka (added July 20 2019) and the all-new MAZARIA in Ikebukuro, Tokyo (opens July 12 2019), you will be able to play Taiko no Tatsujin in a virtual reality setting as the name suggests.

Although graduated from her Taiko Sister role, the beloved Daifuku returns to Taiko no Tatsujin scene being the person-in-charge for the project, making her the perfect person to write today's Namco Taiko Blog post. Details will come after this jump.

The Wild, Wild Green* Jungle That is JAEPO 2019

Being two weeks away from the annual happening of one of the largest arcade/amusement machine expo that is JAEPO 2019 on January 25-27, it is time to round up news regarding the much-anticipated upcoming firmware update of Green ver.!

...except there isn't. The latest announcement from Bandai Namco Amusement (arcade arm of BNEI) of their JAEPO 2019 line-up has Taiko no Tatsujin Green ver. stashed away in the "Other Exhibiting Games" list, deep under the key features of this year like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure arcade game and the Sword Art Online arcade game.

Excerpt from press release (via 4Gamer)

Well at least Green ver. is actually exhibiting, and there is also Tenkaichi Otogesai 5 Finals to look forward to.

Two songs made their debut this weekend. Instead of bombarding your RSS feeds (in case anyone still uses ours), here is an afterward recap together:

Thanks to Deadwantsha for letting us know on the Taiko no Tatsujin Discord.

We told you about Taiko no Tatsujin returning to the Touhou scene earlier this month with the Autumn Reitaisai 2018 on October 14 (link), and now we have more info to follow up with that.

The event catalogue on sale starting yesterday (September 29) of course contains crucial information for Reitaisai goers. The part that concerns us is the dedicated page/section for Bandai Namco promoting Taiko no Tatsujin and Synchronica and their Touhou Arrangement line-up. At the top of the page is the reveal of the upcoming addition that is slated to make an exclusive preview first at the event grounds:

Surprise update that on the show floors of JAEPO 2018 coming this weekend, you can come to the Bandai Namco Entertainment booth to catch the legendary Tat... wait, what, not him this time? ...okay, so apparently we are not having that living meme as a guest but two different living memes instead: Popuko and Pipimi from Pop Team Epic.

Namco Taiko Blog (February 2 2018): Blue ver. First-hand Previews at JAEPO 2018

Picking up from last week, with only one week away from JAEPO 2018, it is high time they announce what new songs will be playable in a first-hand preview on the exhibiting cabinets. And they did.

New Songs: February 10~11 2018 (Blue ver. JAEPO 2018 Preview)
 Hero NEW!
　　　安室奈美恵 Namie Amuro

Of course, current Yellow ver. picks (minus some) can also be played on there too. But technically you are paying JAEPO admission plus long waiting times just to avoid the cost of a credit, for an existing experience that probably don't let you record on your Donder profile... eh, it's your call.

Like last time, we have a few more Twitter Snippets we'd like to attach with today's post, especially regarding one of the above new songs.

Taiko no Tatsujin in Taipei Game Show 2018... sort of?

 

If you are thinking of revelations on the levels of the long-teased Nintendo Switch Taiko no Tatsujin console release, we thank you for your patronage but you can leave now.

This year's Taipei Game Show (January 26~29) features only trivial appearances from the Taiko no Tatsujin franchise, with show floor trial plays of PS4 Session de Dodon ga Don, one stage event planned on January 26 15:30~16:00, and these side campaigns happening across the BNEI booth:

• Trial-play any BNEI game on the show floor and get commemorative postcards and stickers. Collect five different postcards/stickers and you stand a chance to redeem limited prizes including the Taiko no Tatsujin messenger bag and hand warmer
• Presenting a liked BNEI Facebook Fan Page and claim a pair of Taiko no Tatsujin Fai Chuns

PS4-1 Update - Because It's Fourties: CoroCoro Comic 40th Anniversary Pack

 

Taiko no Tatsujin has been close with CoroCoro Comic for some longest time, and of course in their 40th Anniversary celebrations, Don-chan and Kat-chan will have to join in with new downloadable content on the latest console release:

コロコロコミック40周年記念パック CoroCoro Comic 40th Anniversary Commemoration Pack (Free, 2018/02/15~03/31)
コロコロコミック40周年のうた CoroCoro Comic 40th Anniversary Song NEW!

Petit-chara: コロドラゴン CoroDragon

Before that though, Session de Dodon ga Don will be featured on the show floors of Next-gen World Hobby Fair '18 Winter in late January through early February as part of BNEI's exhibition line-up. CoroCoro Comic 40th Anniversary Song can also be played first-hand.

 

Meanwhile, especially if you have missed the Taiko Team in person for some time now, Masubuchi has made a guest appearance on the official CoroCoro Channel for the world premier of the Oni notechart against the host. And yes, this will be our First Video on this.

Now that the previously-exclusive Sukatto Bachan no Uta will be seeing general Japan-wide inclusion soon, the special Yellow ver. cabinets at Odaiba Minna no Yume-tairiku 2017 event needs something else for the collaboration with Tsukai TV Sukatto Japan. So that's why starting tomorrow (August 5 2017) those cabinets will be adding the exclusive Sukatto Janken that is used in the small rock-paper-scissors segment in the show.

In addition, if you are of high-caliber Taiko no Tatsujin skills, you can be eternally (read: until the event ends) celebrated on the whiteboard leaderboards for everyone with the event's day-ticket to see.

First Video: The Eight-fold Tokaigi Surprise

8OROCHI (read: Yamata no Orochi) REDALiCE (957? notes on ★10 Oni)
Like VICTORIA to WCS2016, the third Tenkaichi Otogesai closed with an exclusive tune at the finals (unlike VICTORIA though it was not Full-Comboed on the spot). And if KUSANAGI is part of the God Collection, why won't the monster than birthed it be too?

Other pick-ups from JAEPO and Tokaigi:

• Now that Tenkaichi Otogesai 3 is done, DokuLO Candy♡ and Masakari Blade will be made available to all Taiko no Tatsujin Red ver. cabinets tomorrow (2017/02/12). [Japan] [Asia] (Did you know? Masakari Blade is inspired by the Kintaro myth and would be likely in the God Collection like 8OROCHI too, had it not been imported from SDVX)
• According to Donder Hiroba, song removals at Yellow ver. release (2017/03/15):
  Family Party / Kenka Joutou / Amachan Opening Theme / Flower Song / Kaze ga Fuiteiru / Polyrhythm / TRAIN-TRAIN / S / Telecastic fake show / Ichido Dake no Koi Nara / Feed A / Wake up! / Anpanman Taisou / DoReMiFa Sorairo / Zutto Zutto Tomodachi / Wonderland / Mozaik Role / Tell Your World / Funa Funa Funassyi / Pokemon Black 2/White 2
• Textual report: Calamari Inkantation (432 notes on ★7 Oni [x])

Namco Taiko Blog (February 3 2017): Livestream Recap, JAEPO 2017 Edition

As revealed yesterday on the livestream, the details of Taiko no Tatsujin Yellow ver. attending JAEPO 2017 next week are textually and pictorially summarized by Daifuku today.

Before all, hopefully you remember that the dates of the event (February 10-12 2017, and the 10th is business-only day) and the location (Makuhari Messe Convention Center). Most crucial of all is that the Yellow ver. cabinets are at the Bandai Namco Entertainment booth in JAEPO 2017 and not the one at Tokaigi next door!

With the basics covered, we'll meet after the jump for the actual things you can do with the exhibiting cabinets and more.

Namco Taiko Blog (September 26 2016): The Fun Never Ends with Don-chan and Puzzles

If you did not know, the BNEI Japan headquarters (Future Lab) has long since moved from the old site near Aomono-yokochou Station for over half a year already. Now that they are here at Minato's Shiba/Mita area (芝三田エリア), the company will be starting a tie-in event with shops in the nearby Keiounaka-toori Shopping Street (慶応仲通り商店街), with Don-chan as the poster model.

Breaking: Chain Chronicle TGS2016 Press Conference Reveals 2nd Taiko Collab

 

While, as we said, Taiko no Tatsujin is not having much to go on in this year's Tokyo Game Show, staying tuned to the Sega Booth mainly to look at Puyos originally turned out to be fruitful because Sega's mobile RPG-turned franchise plans for another collaboration.

This time around, Don-chan will be more than just a weapon and be available as a full-blown character for you to do (whatever you do in Chain Chronicle). On the Taiko no Tatsujin front, AC0 Red ver. and iOS/Android Plus STH will feature new Chain Chronicle music to play to. The two-way collaboration will come in about Autumn 2016.

Taiko no Tatsujin at TGS2016

...actually not much really. Taiko no Tatsujin Dokodon Mystery Adventure (3DS3) is the main Taiko game showing on the floors this year with trial plays, with a stage event at 11:50-12:20 on September 18 at the Family Game Park (not livestreamed). Taiko no Tatsujin Plus/STH is also present with just video clips.

In the meantime, look at Taiko no Tatsujin making a cameo as a booth (2:13-2:17) at the fictional PlayStation Matsuri alongside Overwatch and Final Fantasy. This came out of the Sony PlayStation Press Conference. Thanks LefaLefa for the tip-off!

Alright I'll be looking at the Sega Booth for their new Puyo game then kthxbai
