Highway to 4th-gen Don Across the JAEPO 2020 Floors

http://bandainamco-am.co.jp/am/event/jaepo2020/img/detail_05_01.png
...why is this image using the original 3rd gen. screen layout?


Following the previous teaser that news should come on January 27, the JAEPO 2020 Official Page for Bandai Namco Amusement has updated with small blurbs for each of the exhibiting games.

The Taiko no Tatsujin blurb (using Green ver. key visuals probably only because they have no other key visuals) finally officially confirms the March 2020 version, and that there will be trial cabinets to play some of the upcoming new songs like:

In addition, Number 11 and Etou will present all the new functionalities in a special stage show between 10:30-11:00* on February 8 (Public Day). A more formal presentation (shared with Fishing Spirits and crane machine Clena Hybrid) will be held on the Business Day (February 7) between 11:20-11:50 by Producer Kimizu. (have we let you know of the wide speculation that Number 11 may be ex-Synchronica producer Kimizu?)

A final reminder for today that given the recent worldwide spread of infectious diseases, please stay safe and be careful of personal hygiene if you are attending tightly packed events like JAEPO 2020.

By the way, please note that the "acgen4" tag is still temporary; if the new version turns out to be not really different from the 3rd Generation versions, we will go back and change everything back.

Song of the Week! 25 January 2020


A quick Game Music feature to round off this month... our first one for this year, too!

Thursday, January 23, 2020

First Video: Inferno



Our first Future-feature in SotW shore has ultimately led to an 8-star challenge with plenty of 2-hit clusters pre-chorus as well as more Kat-based cluster formations during it. Kind of funny how a song for a fire-centric Anime almost has more notes that are not colored after the element, isn't it?

In addition to today's song release, we've been also made aware of one of the leftover songs' true title, blurring out Drop and Yura Hatsuki's Senkou Valkyria (閃光ヴァルキュリア). Look forward to this Namco Original in next month's Donder Pack!

First Video: A3! and Touken Ranbu's New Songs







Gacha-driven male gaming series are in order for today's Green Version update, with a couple of 5-star Oni challenges that tie into the Touken Ranbu and the A3! franchises.

Going one step beyond among the two, however, is Act! Addict! Actors!, geared with an 8-star Ura challenge that sits on the easier side of the difficulty tier with some 1/24 Kat clusters along the way.

Song of the Week! 18 January 2020


Happy birthday... to me! Yeeeeeeeee-

As my personal Top 3 selection of original songs from this rhythm game series didn't change at all since their inception (see here and here), how about we talk about today's song, that just came out today?!
