My Neighbor Totoro Theme "Strolls" Into 3DS Taiko Drum Master Game

Namco Bandai is bringing the Taiko: Drum Master series to Nintendo 3DS with Taiko: Drum Master The Little Dragon and the Mysterious Orb. The game has a quest mode where Wada-don and a small green dragon go on a beat tapping adventure.

I wonder if the walking drum will run into Totoro… because Totoro’s theme song "Stroll" is in Taiko: Drum Master The Little Dragon and the Mysterious Orb.

(We can’t find a clip of the original song, but we *did* find a Hatsune Miku remix.)

A leak from HMV also reveals "Switch On!" from Kamen Rider Fourze, "Good Morning! Shining Day" from Inazuma Eleven Go, Toriko’s theme, "Best Wishes" from Pokemon Best Wishes, and the One Piece opening theme "We Go!"

Namco Bandai also added in a mix of J-pop like "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" from Ikimono Gakari, "PON PON PON," AKB48’s "Flying Get," "Golden Bomber," and "365 Nichi no Love Story" for Sonar Pocket.

Taiko: Drum Master The Little Dragon and the Mysterious Orb is slated for release on July 12 in Japan.
