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.

Across Japan (August 4 2017) - Why, Why Play Without the Licensed Picks: Yellow ver. Asia G/V 4.03 Update

What's the point with playing the Asian ver. newest update when only the single Namco Original from Japan's equivalent update made it on the same day, and the new two-player mode is official coined in English as "Waiwai Play"? Well still a lot actually, the Don Medals being one.

Well in a step up of the game, the Taiko Team has prepared the three versions of the Waiwai Play flyer in English, Traditional Chinese and Korean.

Together with all the features that have been revealed on yesterday's blog entry, there's an additional tweak for the regular 2-player mode that the Taiko Team staff has forgotten to mention in said blog post! A quick tweet was made to remedy on that.

In short, the player icons on the left side of the scrolling bar will be re-arranged so that multiple informations attached to it in-game, such as the players' titles/title parts being set and the eventual modifiers that are being used for the play session. To have a size comparison, check out a Taiko 0 2P video such as this one.

Site Announcement: Taiko Time 7th Anniversary!

This year we're just slapping actual Taiko sprites together for the anniversary logo :P

7th Anniversary for the Taiko Time blog! Woohoo!

Despite our real-life commitments getting in our way from time to time, we are glad that we have kept on this pro bono endeavor in bringing Taiko no Tatsujin resource into English-speaking circles. We may reiterate this every year, but it is true that we thank all of your support, as long-time readers or occasional drop-ins alike.

But to be frank, outside of the routine Anniversary Quiz and some on-occasion housekeeping (we have one Title Fix post planned), we really don't have much idea for what else to do this year. Do you have burning questions to ask us in another Staff Interview? Do you have interesting custom made notecharts you want us to showcase in a revival of Made By You? Do you <insert your own suggestion maybe>? Tell us so that we can plan for it down the road.
