Many people think games are for one person to play by themselves on a T.V. or smartphone.ssTherefore, I would like to introduce you to Game Centers!

Game Centers have big screens, loud volume, and a unique atmosphere!ssOne of the games that everyone enjoys (children to adults) is the "Taiko no Tatsujin."

Warming Up the Festival! Wadaiko (Japanese drum)

What is your image of a Japanese festival?

The first few things that come up to my mind are Yukatas, scooping goldfish, cotton candy, and wadaiko.ssWadaiko is an important factor in a Japanese festival because it heats up and makes the festival fun!ssYou will find men wearing a headband, playing these drums at Japanese festivals!

The pleasant rhythm and the powerful appearance.

You'll definitely want to bang on or even touch these drums, but there usually isn't much of a chance.ssRelease your stress, play along to music, or play it with the ones you love.

This is when "Taiko no Tatsujin" will make your dreams come true.

What is "Taiko no Tatsujin"?

"Taiko no Tatsujin" is a game where you hit the drum that is set in front of the screen.ssIt is a music and rhythm game.

There are many songs that are divided by genre into eight different folders.ssThe eight genres includes J-POP, anime, vocaloid, classic, game music, and Namko Original.

The newest version of Taiko no Tatsujin 14 includes 175 songs!ssYou can play different songs every time!

Challenge Yourself with Hidden Command!

The basic rule of how to play the game is to hit the drum when you see a musical note to the rhythm.ssWhen you see a red one, hit the middle.ssWhen you see a blue one, hit the side.

After you choose a song, choose the level.ssThere are three levels; "easy," "normal," and "difficult."ssTry hitting the side of the drum for "difficult" and...?

There it is!ssThe hidden command, "Oni!" (level above difficult)

A Game Families Can Play Together!

If you choose a song that can be supported by your father or your mother, the parent and child can play using each drums with a cost for only one person.

As you can see, Taiko no Tatsujin can be played by a beginner to pro.ssIf you come to Japan with your family, try playing it with your parents!

Who Can Get Higher Score?ssThe Battle Starts NOW!

There are battles where confident players battle each other.ssNot only the score is important in this game, but the amount of times you can hit the drum in a certain time also counts.

The amount of hits you can make in one second.ssNot possible for a human being... You'll never know the maximum number of hits you make, but if you try, your score will definitely increase!
