Taiko 3ds 2's first commercials

Between the publication of today's two blog entries, the website of the latest Taiko 3DS videogame gets updated once again with the video commercials above, While some extracts of what presumably is the game's theme song can be heard, all the inormations reported are about aspects of the game we already knew from the last website update... for the most part.

Near the second video's end, it's possible to spot the first of Taiko 3DS 2's planned, downloadable songs: Let it Go ～Ari no Mama de～ (Let It Go～ありのままで～), the Japanese version of the very popular song of the same name from the Disney film Frozen, whose influence exploded on the Internet with an overload of both musical renditions and parodies. This song will be available for free to download until August 31st.
