Game Music Showcase: Muscle March

In 2006, a new arcade game was released in Japan, consisting of two vertical levers. The game inside the cockpit was full of typical Japanese insanity, and was called Muscle Kōshinkyoku (マッスル行進曲), or what we know in the US today as Muscle March (500 Wii Points on Wiiware). The idea was to control a bodybuilder's arms with these two levers (or your Wiimote) and chase after a protein shake-stealing thief. He busts through walls and your arm positions have to match the hole created to proceed. Simple concept, but with a crazy presentation, crazier than we are trying to make it sound. Go look for footage of the game! You will never keep a straight face after that.

Starting from Taiko 11, part of that game's soundtrack was used as songs in Taiko no Tatsujin. They are sung by Kani Prince and arranged by Akitaka Toyama (遠山明孝) known for the creation of other Namco Original songs like The Carnivorous Carnival.
