Namco Taiko Blog (24 September 2015) - Speed Through the Historic AU! October in Murasaki ver.


Happy First Fourth Day of Fall! With the autumnal weather let's see the first of autumnal unlocks for the HD arcade! And we have...

October DonChare unlock song:
 聖徳たいこの「日いずるまで飛鳥」 コバヤシユウヤ(IOSYS) feat. miko
Shoutoku Taiko no "Hi Izuru Made Asuka" Yuuya Kobayashi (IOSYS) feat. miko

Oh cool, I like the historic pieces. I cannot wait to see how IOSYS talents interpret Shoutoku... Taiko? What?

Anyway, IOSYS's Yuuya Kobayashi returns again after Yamatai Night Party to give an alternate-universe twist to notable Japanese historic figures and concepts, this time on Prince Shoutoku of the Asuka period, with a little of the origins of the saying "Land of the Rising Sun" (日いづる国) mixed in.
(Taiko Time note: lit. Prince Shoutoku's "Flying Bird towards the Rising Sun", if you insist reading the kanji 太子/Prince kanji-by-kanji weirdly and not as the established "Taishi". Also punny is punny)

We are of course not able to do justice of the song here when it's due out only after a week, so please check out the song preview and comments from Kobayashi and miko in the original post.

October monthly outfit: Bicycle (自転車)

Japan dedicates so many thing to autumn it's getting confusing, but this year we adhere to the Autumn of Sports saying with a full set of bicycle gear (bicycle not included)! The helmet is free from just playing once with your Banapassport in the month, and the body suit is limited from the Rewards Shop.
