Song of the Week! 29 April 2023

 

Instead of feeling down in the dumps for yet another licensed tune leaving official Taiko gaming forever (and also because we already talked about it before), it's time for us to dust off the microcosmos of the weird and limited Taiko tie-ins once again, with one of 15 songs to come out with the series makers' help... but not directly from them!

Another CyGames-sprung IP's arcade-exclusive Anime theme is about to leave the series forever, after Granblue Fantasy's themes of a few years earlier. We talked about it on Twitter already, but might as well double-dip due to it being posted on the official blog, too!
