Namco Taiko Blog (12 September 2013) - Details about September's UStream session


As previously mentioned, today's Taiko Team blog entry isn't about the freshly-announced Taiko Wii U (although it's being acknowledged on the Taiko Donder page, as the game's website is now active), but it's instead focused once more in the arcade department... or something like that. The third and final UStream session about the tournament song's live note-charting is going to be aired soon, and here's what you have to know about the event.

After making what looks like a reference to a certain bemani rhythm game, this blog post starts right with this UStream's airing date: September 27th, 19:30 (Japan time fuse). This live broadcast will last for two hours and can be watched both on UStream and Nicovideo, as usual. Here are the five topics that will be featured in this appointment!

1) Live notechart-making with one of the Taiko Tournament 2013's Final songs

Like for the previous broadcasts, the notechart-making segment is the main event, involving once again another song from the latest CreoFuga contest. The song picked this time is Hurtling Boys, made by Sadakichi Ishikadasu (さだきち イシカダス). The Taiko Team already uploaded on Nicovideo a sample of the song (link), which looks nearly identical to the original contest entry.

2) Eto's inspection during the Area Elimination tourney phase

The 2013 Taiko tournament's second phase will begin the day after this broadcast, and some selected stores will be visited for the occasion by the current Taiko Team leader! Eto himself will announce which arcade rooms he will visit for the tournament trials, as well as the exact dates.

3) Impressions about the Final round's songs

In order not to be swarmed by questions about the Finals's songs during his arcade visits, Etou will talk a bit about the Taiko Team's impressions about the songs, as well as the issues occurred for the notecharts's creation.

4) Details about the Final round's organization

How the Final rounds will be organized? The Taiko Team will explain the route that all the Area Elimination winners will follow in the Final round, held in the Namco Bandai headquarters.

5) Namco Original revival poll!

During the broadcast's running time, Nicovideo users can take part of a live poll about the arcade revival of past Namco Original songs! Everyone can vote its favorite NO pick from a list posted in today's blog entry, and the two most voted songs will be featured in a future arcade update! The list of allowed songs is also shown below, featuring both old arcade-spawn songs and console exclusives. Which one would you choose?
