Once you're done with our latest Song of the Week (and assuming it didn't affect your eyesight), one adviceable course of action for QR-reader-geared arcade players is to take advantage of a peculiar limited mode, being released for three whole months and... roughly 700-or-so years in advance! Let me explain...

Song of the Week! 1 April 2023

One of the reasons behind why I've endured writing about everything Taiko for so much time is due to the impact some of the songs have left onto myself on their passing. Now, you too can catch a glimpse of what it feels like!

Song of the Week! 25 March 2023

 

Time for another quick -yet enlightening- pick!

[ACN/NS2/Plus] - The Omiko Sisters' Namco Original Debut!

It has been teased for a long while over the OmikoSis Channel videos that the Taiko web Anime series's Omiko City DJ duo of Remi and Fua would have had their own song to drum your hearts out and as of today, the wait is over! It also comes with quite the hefty trove of content for all cross-systems-playing Taiko enthusiasts out there.

	Title
	Suki ni Riyuu wa Iranai Jan! OmikoSisters feat. Ponchi♪ スキに理由はいらないじゃん！／オミコシスターズ feat. Ponchi♪	★3	★6	★6	★8

Key: red = series debut; blue = arcade debut

Brought to us by the same composer whose contest-winning song was used for the duo's very first music video, Remi and Fua's debut Namco Original is already available to play across three different platforms simultaneously: the ongoing Nijiiro Version, the Nintendo Switch's Dokodon/Rhythm Festival (on the Taiko Music Pass) and the everlasting Plus Shinkyoku Tori Houdai on smart devices.

It's also possible to be welcomed by the cheery duo in Petit Chara form, on both arcade and Switch grounds! Just play their debut song once to have them unlocked (or buy them from the ingame store for the latest console entry). Just, don't pay that much attention on English versions quoting the two as coming from the past Nintendo Switch game instead of the web Anime series...

Aside from being a song with a title being 'inspired' as a possible retort to the expression of disgust that a girl might feel when being flirted by "some guy who still plays Taiko at the arcades" (no, really), Suki ni Riyuu wa Iranai Jan is also the first Namco Original being credited as belonging to its own in-house label of WADIVE RECORD, one that already has its own dedicated page in the official Taiko website and is listed as a song category on its own in the aforementioned Dokodon Festival, although there's only this one song for now. Look forward to hear more about it!

[PSA] - Get Your Taiko DLCs Before The eShops' Closure

One bit of news that has made the rounds of gaming in the past month was the upcoming closure of the Nintendo eShop platforms for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U systems worldwide, meaning that no further additional purchases of any kind will be allowed after this coming March 27th.

For the time being, it will still be possible to use the platform afterwards to both update digital/packaged games in your possession and re-download eShop content (games/DLCs) that were already purchased before the store fronts' ending. This means that we're at the final raw call for Japanese-systems-owning donders to catch whatever piece of (the still available) DLCs they're missing for the trilogy of Japanese Taiko games on both systems.

As a post-script addendum, we remind you that the digital versions of both 3DS and Wii U games were already removed from the storefront beforehand, and that its former purchasers can still be able to redownload if these were already bought when they were available, alongside all their respective single/bundled DLC deals.
