I was late for the boat when it comes to
Taiko Drum Master, but I've been enjoying my belated discovery. I first played it in an arcade, where I found myself instantly addicted to the music and the hyper-joyful characters reminscient of
San-X, Sanrio's Japanese counterpart. I tracked down the American copy for PS2 and was sorely disappointed. Instead of Japanese songs, I got Britney Spears. No wonder it failed here.
Not to be dissuaded, I tracked down the Japanese DS version of the game and have been addicted ever since. While trying to beat a ridiculously difficult song in hard mode, I went to You Tube and stumbled upon these gems. They were made for a Japanese children's show, but thanks to YouTube you can watch all the episodes and perform a ballet of spastic joy if you are so inclined.

I got hold of Taiko no Tatsujin DS a week or so ago; been enjoying it ever sense. Not too fond of the Daily Dojo thing for unlocking the songs, but it's easy to speed up just by changing the date on the DS. Phenomenally addictive besides, so I've got no complaints.
