Seven islands and eight J-Pop tracks are part of Taiko no Tatsujin DS: 7-tsu no Shima no Daibouken, which comes out in Japan this week. Some of you might be eager to import it because of the influx of mascot characters joining Wada-Don. I previously mentioned Doraemon, Oshiri Kaji Mushi and the Idolm@ster will be part of this mix. The Soulcalibur II theme “Brave Swords, Braver Soul” too, but I don’t think a cute version of Nightmare will be dancing in the background.
In case you were thinking about importing the game since it’s coming out this week I thought it might be helpful for the J-Pop uninitiated to have an idea of what songs are in the game. Listen closely and see the music videos below.
