While normally I would stick that Facebook photo above the break line, but not today because the 42 new songs (to Asia) is too much to spoil! Try as you might, I don't think you could guess all the new and ret'conned additions!
So see you after the jump!

Song of the Week! 9 January 2016
Puoc a ta kool a ekat ot gniog era ew yadot- wait, this doesn't feel right...
... *A-hem* Today we are going to take a look at a couple of songs which have some notable 'Reverse Notecount' values, a trend that slowly got a decent following in the later years for certain songs' notecharts, much like for the "regular" special combo counter of 765, 876 and such.
Taiko no Tatsujin Plus Shinkyoku Tori Houdai!
You know how Taiko no Tatsujin Plus is on the iTunes Store, and that Taiko no Tatsujin Shinkyoku Tori Houdai is for Android devices (with whatever Japan-exclusive mobile content service that houses it)? So when you combine the two you get an Android app that will be available on Google Play! Perfect logic!
No, but seriously, this new smartphone app version of Taiko no Tatsujin will be hitting Google Play shelves soon, and that means there is finally a chance for the remaining 45% of the populus to get it (just short of whatever way you need to bypass possible region lock). The main site for the Android game is hosted at http://app.taiko-ch.net/, whose URL is really similar to the usual iOS version main site at http://app.taiko-m.com/.
On the gameplay... well it is your average Taiko no Tatsujin game, so what else would you expect (tap virtual drum like Plus or Wii U)? The Fukubiki system and the prospect of collaboration is inherited from Taiko Plus all well, with Kumatomo and Tales of Asteria shown on the teaser site.
And to prepare for the upcoming release, you can pre-register for the release here, only needing your e-mail address or Twitter account. which when it exceeds 10,000 and 50,000 pre-registration nets everyone themes and Don-chan outfits that feature the Android green robot dude (that is of course exclusive to GPlay version and not on iOS).

First Video: Tenbinza Kyuukou Yoru o Iku
As of today, the song pre-release campaign for the Taikai (arcade Taiko games' February 2016 mini-tournament) has begun with the first of the three featured tracks being the first song by Taku Inoue made for the series. The wait from the last livestream is over!
Tenbinza Kyuukou Yoru o Iku (5/6/7/8) (lit. Libra Express Into the Night) relies on both uniform beat division and recurring cluster formations, building up to some dense note formations towards the end.

Namco Taiko Blog (7 January 2016) - Taiko no Tatsujin at Tokaigi '16
Now that the Taiko franchise is drawing closer to its first arcade's 15th anniversary, the celebrations are starting to branch out from console gaming and into publicly-held events and conventions! The first of those events in 2016 happens to be Niconico's annual Tokaigi GAME PARTY JAPAN.
For the 2016 edition, running on January 30th and 31st, the Taiko no Tatsujin franchise will have its own dedicated booth, as well as playable arcades in the usual Arcade corner. Although Eto didn't felt like spoiling all the news with this blog entry, the Tokaigi will be the first place where people can try out the finalized version of the MyBachi drumsticks for arcade gaming! There's more to be said about the Taiko inclusion in the event, but apparently we have to wait a little bit more for hearing the rest.

First Video: Marionette Pure
V Version's first DLC pack of 2016 just came out and with that the latest song by Yura Hatsuki and Drop! The Namco Original Marionette Pure boasts a 9-starred Oni notechart made of both slow BPM and different kinds of 1/16 and 1/24 note clusters. No word on the Chinese DLC situation as of now, but once we'll know more, this post will be updated with the relevant data.
And for those who were looking for more informations on that certain Anime revival, Kaisei Joushou Hallelujah's Oni mode got re-rated as a 9* Oni, meaning that Ultraman X's Ura Oni is currently standing alone as the only 10-star challenge for the Anime genre.
