Song of the Week! 13 April 2024

 

For those who are still skeptic about Pop Tap Beat's unique reach on music licensing, how does having a track from what currently is the longest-running movie franchise in history sound to you?!

Namco Taiko Blog (2024/04/11): Nijiiro ver. April Update may Slightly be an Afterthought

The actual update to Taiko no Tatsujin Nijiiro ver. on 2024/04/17, with only four track additions, may be the least of your worries in light of the more important happenings on the docket...

• 30 Bandai Namco Passport holders (20 solo seats and 10 pair seats) can win the chance to see the final showdown at the Donder! World Championship 2024 finals. Every credit played between 2024/04/17~05/19 gives you one ticket. Trade 5 tickets for a lucky draw chance at the Donder Hiroba. Winners will also get an exclusive Petit-chara with the entrance ticket.
  
  
• Official Taiko Team livestream coming soon on 2024/05/26. Submit your questions to the "What's in the box?" Q&A section by 2024/04/25 at https://questant.jp/q/0Y274TXS
  
  
• Number 11 may or may not have confirmed that Ranking Dojo 2023 is coming to an end circa late-May like in past years.

Song of the Week! 6 April 2024

 

Glance over our latest feature to find out assorted trivias around Nijiiro Version's low-BPM champ!

Sonority Scouts - Prankfully Yours, 2024 Edition

It's crazy to think we've effectively got an April Fools joke whose buildup was upheld for almost a couple of years' worth of teasing, but as we know the otoge competition isn't one to stay idle around the same... each with their own unique take on it!

At last, the time has come to peek at the neighbouring jokesters of this year...

[ACN] - The Impending Business on the Usual Day

かっちゃん「エイプリルフール3兄弟を連れてきたドン！」

どんちゃん「エイプリルフール3兄弟！？」

黄「OK好」
よ「ｴｲﾖ!」
N「わ～い！おめでとう」
？？？「縺ゅｊ縺後→縺�#縺悶＞縺ｾ縺�」
一同「え？」

If there's a moment in the year to check out your calendar before Web browsing, this is it! Continuing the ongoing streak of 'unique April Fools releases' on the Taiko no Tatsujin franchise's part, this year we're getting another unique stunt, accessible through the usage of the QR code above these lines.

This year's treat is... shall we say, rather unique on the presentation side, so we'll leave the reveal to a slight post jump to better savior the surprise factor for the blog readers planning a game center trip, later in the day...
