While also remembering about the Taiko x PAD Collaboration's ending and the next update's new songs with subsequent tweets, the Taiko Team has decided to spill the beans about the returning Touhou Project collaboration event with an overview of its newcomer elements.

As already anticipated, the event will kick in from Red Version's V2.07 update (this Wednesday!), featuring the same unlocks of the first collaboration round as unlockable rewards through a gacha in the players's Donder Hiroba profile, accessible by playing Touhou Project songs. What's new this time around is the progressive addition of new petit chara in the measure of one per week, for 5 weeks, with the two previously-shadowed characters now being revealed.

Together with Flandre Scarlet and the Komeiji Sisters, we'll also have Petit Chara forms for Imperishable Night Extra Boss Fujiwara no Mokou (藤原妹紅) and the couple of Renko Usami (宇佐見蓮子) and Maribel Hearn (マエリベリー・ハーン), two human students which are featured in the cover art of several albums from the fabled ZUN's Music Collection series. They'll be appearing on Week 2 and Week 5 of the upcoming event, respectively.

Feature: General Sales Figures in the Taiko no Tatsujin series

Here on this blog we've had multiple occasions to see the launch week figures for many Taiko no Tatsujin games that have been released during this humble blog's existence; however, have you ever wondered how most of these releases have fared on the later years in the sales spectrum?

In this feature, we're taking a look at the current situation of the software sales figures for the Taiko no Tatsujin series as a whole, by dividing the game releases to the many console families and listing both the 1st-week sales and the Life-to-Date (or LTD) figures for each boxed release.

Among the many sources that have been browsed for the data you're about to see, give our shoutouts to Media Create, VGChartz and NeoGAF user Chris1964 for the Media Create/Famitsu historical database, available at this link.
