Namco Taiko Blog (October 10-16, 2025) - Taiko no Tatsujin x Touhou Project '25 Collaboration and Nijiiro's End-October update


Most of October is out of the way by now, but two blog updates were made to keep the Nijiiro scene on their toes, starting with a re-occurring collaboration campaign about preparing girls and waiting warmly...

Twitter Snippets (October 3rd-12th, 2022) - Groovy Ghettos and Shining (Middle-school) Suns


A double-whammy of tweets we've also reported on our own Twitter account, one from last week and another one from today!

Starting up on (limited) arcade shores, we took quite a while to get on this bit of news here because we've had to withdraw our copyright registration claims on the 'obligatory yearly ancient meme 2hu song for Autumn Reitaisai' expression, as it turns out to be unaccurate for 2022- have a more recent meme tune instead! The same song and dance from past years will unfold: limited debut at this year's Autumn Reitaisai (October 23rd) and publicly playable on arcade Taikos from the start of the next (date unannaounced as of yet) Taiko x Touhou campaign.

In more current news, while Taiko no Tatsujin has long since done away with named version changes for the arcade front, Sega's CHUNITHM still takes that approach with the latest installment (CHUNITHM SUN) releasing tomorrow (2022/10/13). So what say you about celebrating this release with a cross-inclusion between the two franchises?

Namco Taiko Blog (October 8 2020) - Easterly Winds Blows a Sixth Time: Touhou Project x Taiko no Tatsujin Collab 2020


When you collaborate with a franchise so much that it has become easier to mark it by year instead of the number of times... The 2020 edition of the Touhou Project x Taiko no Tatsujin collaboration will happen between October 21 through November 30 on the March 2020/Nijiiro ver. firmware.

Twitter Snippets - Taiko Postcards from Autumn Reitaisai '19


Another Touhou-themed convention has come and gone, with attender-powered crumbles of news bits concerning the soon-to-be-public new duo of playable arranges.

For this year, we've also been to fetch a video of one of the two songs!... at first, only to have it removed from Youtube hours after. Luckily for us, it has stayed up enough time to let other people recreate the original notechart for PC Taiko simulation means.

[UPDATE] (09/10/19) - And now, even the Taikojiro recreation video has been removed! Yaaaay...

Green ver. Public Song Release: October 17th, 2019

Namco Taiko Blog (27 September 2019) - 5th Taiko x Touhou Collab, Some Addendums


Yesterday, we caught notice of the opening of the latest promo page about the next arcade Taiko campaign, and today we're getting a couple more details about it.

Mainly, we now know that some of the 5th Touhou Project collaboration's Donder Hiroba promo outlets (namely, the two new-elements gachas) will be launched at a later late than the collaboration's start, on October 17th. Why that date, you ask? Apparently it's because the two Reitaisai-preview songs will make their debut on public Green Version builds on the same day!

[AC-Event] - Hakurei Shrine Autumn Reitasai '19, the Full Reveal


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?

Namco Taiko Blog (11 July 2019) - Girls Are Polling... A Taiko-Themed Touhou Survey


In today's blog entry from the team, we've come to know that there's the intention to add more Touhou Project playable arrangements into the ongoing arcade line. This time around, however, they're open to suggestions from the player base, no less!

From today until July 21st, a small poll has been opened (link here) in order to let people choose up to three song preferences among existing Touhou Project arrangements to be added in a later day to Green Version arcades. While the poll is open to everyone, the results of it won't be made public.

If you're interested in taking part to the action, don't forget to fill in the other four inquiries in the form: which songs and game modes do you play the most on the arcade line, the Japanese prefecture of residence and your gender.

Remember you can play the above two new Touhou Project arrangements as exclusive preview at Autumn Reitaisai 2018 this Sunday (October 14) as teased!

Touhou Project Collaboration, The Fourth



With Taiko no Tatsujin back at the Touhou-themed Reitaisai action, it seems suitable to once again hold a full-blown collab campaign to go with it. This time it begins together with the update on October 23 and ends on December 2.

How do you participate in the collab event this time? By playing Taiko no Tatsujin Blue ver. arcade with Banapassport (or equivalent), you earn one ticket for every credit. With the tickets you can redeem Petit-charas and title parts from the Donder Hiroba.

 

The top rewards this time are the new Marisa Kirisame (White) (霧雨魔理沙 (白)) and returning Reimu Hakurei (Blue) (博麗霊夢 (青)) at only 1000 of each available to all. You can use 3 tickets to redeem a drawing chance. Otherwise save up for the other new Reimu Hakurei & Marisa Kirisame (博麗霊夢&霧雨魔理沙) pair Petit-chara for 10 tickets. Other returning Petit-charas and title parts are available at 1 ticket each.

Spanking Maou for Five More Days
Geddit? Because Maou's damaged illustration is him turned back, so the hits land on his butt? No? ...okay.

The special Performance Battle Mode event was slated to end on October 17, but that would be slightly dumb when the new update is coming on the 23rd. Therefore the event is now extended for five more days to end on October 22. Check our previous coverage for how it all started.

And what's this? There are going to be more additions to the Performance Battle with this update? I don't sea any other info or visuals here so I guess they want to leave it for a later date. (Thanks Deadwantsha from the Discord for digging the sand castle)
