Some of you might have been wondering what the Tenkaichi Otogesai Shop Preliminary actually went. So before we set into the phase completely, let's recap on the proceedings of Sunday's match, referencing the official rules and regulations. (Details are skimped over for the other games)

Namco Taiko Blog (25 November 2014) - Tenkaichi Otogesai's Block Finals Songs
As you can see from the title, this surely isn't no surprise to us, isn't it?
We already covered the four new songs yesterday, so let's jump quickly to some of the more obscure details: on Taiko, the three songs from external rhythm games (Scars of FAUNA, FUJIN Rumble and VERTeX) will be grouped in the Game Music section, while Yuuji Masubutchi's Ignis Danse will be put in the Namco Original genre, making it his latest NO tune on Taiko after villain Dr.Waruru's theme song, back on Taiko Wii 2 days!
Look forward to video footage of these songs tomorrow, together with another out-of-schedule Taiko Team blog entry about the incoming new arcade software upgrade!

Tenkaichi Otogesai: Block Finals Songs Announced
It was the Shop Preliminary for the Tenkaichi Otogesai tourney just yesterday, and today we are already going onto info about the Block Finals!
The jackets about are for the newly-composed songs exclusively for the tournament: Ignis Danse by Yuuji Masubuchi, FUJIN Rumble by COSIO, VERTeX by Hiro and Scars of FAUNA by Naoyuki 'Nekomata Master (猫叉Master)' Sato. The songs are to be added November 26, or just this Wednesday, to registered AOU stores. Hey now isn't the person on Ignis Danse jacket familiar?
Thematically, this phase of the collaboration/tournament has the four games assigned with one of the classical elements:
- Taiko is Fire which is featured majorly in some Japanese festivals (matsuri)
- Groove Coaster is Wind because you fly a jet coaster
- maimai is Water as the "washing machine" deserves (lol)
- jubeat is Earth... just because
While the Taiko Team are busy attending the Autumn Reitaisai, there is no news from them just yet. For now check the AOU Games Day/Tenkaichi Otogesai site for the artist bio and comments.

In general event organization, here's what the Taiko area will feature: the trial cabinets, a section to vote for the Namco Sounds x Touhou Arrangement event (and get the limited coaster), a corner to only get the Marisa outfit without playing (not sure why won't you play though), and a photo spot.

The photo spot is, of course, for you to take photos with Taiko and Touhou elements. As an added bonus, tweet your photos with the designated hashtags and show to the staff, and you stand a chance to get a limited clear file. So that's two physical things to take home!

Extra Snowman gift!
Today's the release day of Taiko no Tatsujin: Tokumori for Wii U, and with it the free DLC song 'Do You Want To Build A Snowman?' is made available for both Tokumori and its 3DS little brother.
The song isn't all you're getting for free though, what Namco never mentioned was that it also comes with two costume pieces, a Snowman (ゆきだるま) headpiece and a Snow Dress (ゆきのドレス) body! That means if you decide to download everything released for Taiko 3DS2 today, you're essentially getting seven songs, one Ura chart and two costume pieces for 540 yen (tax inclusive)!

Now that's value for money!
Also interesting to note, the costume description for the Snow Dress is 'すこしさむくないたドン！' (The cold never bothered me anyway ta-don!). Man. All these Frozen references, haha.

Across Japan: November Tourney Results and Work Those Sticks
Assuming you would have no time to care anything other than Wii U2 release, let's make it quick. November's Facebook Tournament has Sesan from Korea taking the cake in the Oni department with the only Full Combo in the list. The Taiko Team has gone in the numbers and found that this expert player has attempted no less than 100 times during the tourney period. A round of applause for the determination and the results! Muzukashii department saw Guruguru from Taiwan securing top rank. Is it just me (and the Team) or are a lot of players pick Detarame on the course this time?
Quickly we move on to next month's schedule:
- Song candidate announcement: December 3
- Tournament period: December 6~14
- Results announcement: December 17
