Taiko no Tatsujin, or Taiko Drum Master here in the West, is making a glorious return on both the Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4. A cute and colorful rhythm game that's developed a cult following. However, I bet you DIDN"T know that not only does Taiko no Tatsujin teach you how to play REAL taiko, but also teaches about some of Japan's most important festivals!

I'm really happy to get a little more personal with this video. I've been playing taiko for a while now, and it's one of my few escapes from work.
Gaijin Goombah Media please culturally analyze RWBY or The Wicked and The Divine graphic novel please
Have you finished GeGeGe No Kitaro yet? I love it
Great stuff as usual GG. I always look forward to your next video.
I've been watching your videos for about 5 years now and just started playing taiko when I got to college last year, and I just gotta say this video was super awesome! It's great seeing some of your personal life and finding out you're a taiko player just adds a later to how cool you are! Keep up the great work!!
I actually wasn't expecting much from this what with my experience with this game in arcades, but it was actually really enjoyable! As a former taiko player, I gotta ask what you thought about the differences between playing taiko ensemble here in the states versus playing in Japan? I occasionally played with Kokyo Taiko here in Nebraska, but their style came from a very traditional playstyle in Japan. Whereas my college team at LMU (Shin Kanarazu Daiko) were much more influenced by the jazz/improv traditions of Japanese Americans. What's your experience with it?
Just like to remind anyone reading this that Don-chan made it into a Mario-kart arcade game and Yo Kai Watch.
DiamondJax yeah I thought this was a yo kai watch spinoff
@@kendallchaos odd how I just got done playing the arcade version of Mario kart
2 ez 4 me
I believe Yo Kai Watch had its theme song, too, with unique dancers and backgrounds. So naturally, they returned the favor.
Don-chan for Smash!
You were a taiko drummer? That's so cool!
He is..
He showed footage when he made a Raiju video
This game is adorable and culturally right. I want it
first
If you have Switch or Play Station 4, you can get it through Play Asia. I got it on Switch and it is really fun
You can get it now on switch and ps4
If you want it so bad there is a website called Taiko web. Its a flash game
If you live in Japan or you have a VPN then you can get it for free on mobile
"i don't like mobile games because they're mostly resource managing and puzzles"
"if you don't like the action part, here's a very cool resource managing update that i really liked"
To be fair, it's probably that the Resource Management helps to create a nice break from all the crazy action. That or because of the Home Design aspect.
I feel like the Home Design aspect and the Type system (and the platform on which it is played) are all that separate it from Bayonetta, gameplay-wise.
One o' the characters even attacks with limbs outta nowhere (It's a cat's paw but still).
I think he more means the games are reliant on things you have to collect. Like in Azur Lane you have to collect junk ships as EXP fodder and also manage your oil (also your stamina) and gold so you don't use too much to buy more things for level EXP.
Whereas the resource collection in Honkai is very minor, and has a cute aesthetic to cover it (the chibi Sakura is SO cute xd)
That means this game has it all.
The resources he’s managing in this case is all the cold hard cash he gets for the sponsored ad!
I know you’re never gonna see this, gaijin, but you’ve inspired me to try to be an english teacher in Japan. I adore the culture and love the idea of teaching alongside helping people understand subjects they’re having difficulties with. Thanks for making these videos and helping me find a path in life, even if it’s going to be difficult. Then again, that’s the fun part of life right?
Just understand that every day will be an extreme. Both good and bad.
Aww, the Switch version has a Kirby cameo. ^^
MaddestMike It also has an inkling squid cameo.
And yo kai watch
Kirby and Inkling squid as characters has abilities. It’s really cool
I am a Taiko Drum Master player from Japan.
This game is really interesting, so I'm very happy that it's known around the world in this way.
That's a pretty crazy coincidence that you mention Taiko is learned not through sheet music but through sound. Because that is exactly how I learned to play western percussive instruments. I also have my own personal noises I make quietly to myself for every individual percussive technique, when planning out a rhythm or beat. That's how I memorize them. I eventually was taught how to read notes, but still don't use them that often. I've always wanted to learn how to play the various Taiko drums, and now this video makes me want to learn even more. It sounds like it's right up my alley.
You almost sound like the character from the movie, Drumline.
+Jacky Chang
Lol
This is how I learned piano since junior high, with sound
i do that all the time. like the stereotypical "boots and cats" beat. but i always say "don tsu ka tsu". also i saw this guy called Steve Terreberry who does this all the time. like "don't step on my cat" for the archetypal imagine dragons beat. or his video "how to be djent" which was basically 4 minutes straight of this concept. lmao
Omg I just today did a taiko drum performance at my new school
Good for you
How'd it go?
Very well thanks
was it difficult or simple to understand?
😱Same
this video so heartwarming :3 wish to visit Japan and see this festival
A taiko performance I saw by random chance (not in Japan - it's an Australian group called Taikoz), was certainly one of the most memorable musical performances I've seen...
There was just something about it...
Hard to explain.
Thanks for showing up on the TFS stream!
Hearing about Japan’s culture makes me so happy, I wish I could go abroad for a while to learn and experience the culture. Its genuinely so interesting.
It's so great to see not only a little peak into Japanese culture, but also a bit into your own experiences. This is the type of content I absolutely love!
Please do another video on this. I love learning about the significance of everything put into taiko no tatsujin, and hearing it from you makes it even better.
Waiting for that Project Diva/Puyo Puyo culture shock...
or game
-or anything for any other of my favorite obscure series-
This was a really fun video!! I loved the shots of the studio and the Historical Gaijin Footage. :D
It's 4am and I am learning Japanese culture. Thank you man, you thought me more about ninjas than Wikipedia.
I really LOVE Taiko! When I use to go to this one anime con, they had a local Taiko school perform and give a quick lesson. I never missed them…and I miss it.
the return of Taiko to this channel! love when you talk about your experiences with Taiko cause it is always fun to hear!
I remember when I got the hang of hard mode I was like "*OMG I'M SUCH A PRO*" but then I played online and saw someone on extreme-
This was such a cool video! I love when you share personal stories about your time in Japan man.
Great video as always and it was nice being reminded of festivities and celebrations that I've seen or heard about over the years! Definitely gonna pick up Taiko Drum Master Nintendo Switch Version when I have more down time (since college started up again).
Amazing video! I love learning about different cultures and your channel is super helpful!
I have played some Taiko no tatsujin games, but mostly the Taiko DX for PSP, and coincidentally you inserted one of my favorite songs in the background, made me remember when I played that non stop, Thanks for spreading some Taiko no tatsujin love
Please do Culture Shock videos on the festival inspirations and character origins! I just love watching the videos and learning a little something about the culture behind the games. I also really can't wait to get the game for my Switch! I have the one for the PS2, but I haven't tried it out yet.
Please make more videos about this game. It's really interesting. Awesome video
please do more. This sounds like a good place to get new videos from.
How have I not subscribed to you sooner?! I'm loving this game so far. So much so I decided to import the drum! It's funny because I learned about Taiko No Tatsujin because of Don-Chan's appearance in Mario Kart Arcade GP DX. Great video!
I hope you make all those episodes and more on the festival topics you mentioned. Quality!!
You are the reason I love Japanese culture
Mine, too!
Perfect timing for this video. Our local cultural centre is having their annual Nikkei Matsuri Festival this weekend. It is where I one a certificate for discounted tickets and got to visit Japan for the first time.
You should make more videos on this! I absolutely love this! 😄
Please make more like this it's so interesting I love it man thankyou for such a great video
I wouldn't mind seeing you do more of this sometime. Would love to learn more of the characters in it alone but also the other aspects you gave a taste of at the end. :D
I hope there are 3 other parts to this game lol. I love your shows can't wait to see more
Thanks for sharing your experiences, brother... this is why I keep coming back to be reminded of all the fun *I* had exploring Japan.
Hey Gaijin Goombah, you had excellent timing with this video. I was fortunate to go and experience a live taiko show this weekend. Your video definitely added value to my experience. Thank you for all your amazing videos!
I love the energy you have when you talk about a subject that is near to your hearth.
That was super interesting! Great video!
I need to get this game! I got to watch a taiko drumming class that took place in my school (I couldn't actually participate because I was in a play at the time). It looks like so much fun and I love music and I need to learn how to keep rhythm better. OH MY GOODNESS talking out the rhythms reminds me a lot of how our choir and band directors would talk out rhythms that were difficult and that was also one of the main ways we learned rhythm to start with. We used Ta and Ti though. Like... it's so cool how cultures intertwine like that. :D
This video was honestly really fun to watch. You could see and feel how very personal and passionate this topic was to you that I couldn't help but smile while watching the whole thing.
please, do more of Taiko Drum Master, I love it
For some reason Donko chasing Donchan gave massive Pucca flashbacks. That is a memory i never thought would resurface.
this was awesome! tell us more about the minigames!
I hope you expand more on this game! It looks adorable. :3
This has to be one of my favorite videos keep it up Goomba-San
please do more! this game seems really fun and interesting!
Please do more about these games since they're hard to get here in the states. I'd love to see more.
I appreciate your channel so much! 😭🙏🏻🙏🏻
This video is amazing! Taiko, both the live shows and the arcade game, was already one of my favorite things to see and do at convention up in Seattle, but seeing it pays this much attention to detail, AND there's a Switch version coming? Holy crap!
i've done this once before in school, the taiko drumming part. My friends and I enjoyed it alot.
wow!! your videos always teach me such amazing things
This is an episode I have been waiting for! I can relate that Taiko no Tatsujin has been my favorite rhythm game. This really inspired me to try my taiko drumming class at my university.
I just loved this video!
I've never met someone who was so into Taiko no Tatsujin like you are!
Right now, I'm waiting for the English version of Taiko no Tatsujin: Nintendo Switch to come out so I can play with my step-siblings (who sadly can't understand Japanese).
I got to play a taiko drum at an equinox party a couple of years back. It was insanely fun. Feeling the vibration all the way up my arms and throwing my energy into making awesome music; it's great!
An arcade I live by used to have a cabinet of this game and could only watch in awe as the person playing on the higher difficulty never missed a beat.
Another awesome video, GG! I really hope I get the chance to see you perform at some point. ^_^
Clearly this means we need MOAR Taiko Drum videos!
I recently had both Taiko no Tatsujin Nintendo Switch Verion and a HORI taiko controller imported from Japan, so I very much appreciated sharing your insight into some of the minigames.
Ouran! Nice to see my favorite anime in one of your videos, even if for only a moment. Loved the video by the way.
One of your most informative vids yet.
I’m actually really good at this IF given a real drum but on Nintendo with the motion sensors nah the blue ones are very hard because the motion sensing is really, REALLY bad....
I actually knew about a couple of those festival traditions from my childhood. The festival dance I remember from the end of the Pokémon anime episode, “The Ghost of Maiden’s Peak” and I knew about the mochi making oddly enough from an episode of Sesame Street which focuses on New Years traditions around the world.
I had wondered for years about ship builder Tom's saying of "Do it with a don!" in One Piece from the Water 7 arc. Now it makes so much more sense.
I love this video. I hope you make a sequel vid to this.
You know, Taiko reminds me a little of the 24 Festival Drums we have here in Malaysia. My friends in the troop often sing the rhythm, it's performed with big drums and a few of the pictures on screen were highly similar, if not completely identical to performances we had just recently.
That’s was a terrific video! I really enjoyed it.
I'd love to see a longer clip of gaijin playing the drums!
10:45 please do
P.S. you are actually amazing at taiko drumming!
I love taiko no tatsujin and japanese culture, thank you very much for this awesome video!
Greetings from Chile~
I can recognize you playing Miyake in that clip of you playing taiko :)
Please talk more about this game! It's amazing.
So awesome. I'm glad you did this more personal video.
Rhythm games from Japan amazes a lot of learning culture. This is such a great culture video. I remember the days of playing DDR and how did DDR was such a trend.
You should make a full video where you talk about everything. I would watch it.
I’m also a big fan of Taiko no Tatsujin. I started playing this in Japan when I was 16 which is also the time I started learning Japanese. I began playing on normal mode before advancing myself to hard mode which is my difficulty. I have 3 games, 2 from the DS and the latest in Switch.
I never knew you started as a member of a Taiko drummer which is really interesting. It’s true that the game is quite easy if you know how the rhythm goes. A good number of people mentioned that this is like Donkey Kong Konga except the drum sticks. It’s a little similar between the two, but this one is really focused to the Japanese culture
Oh Please, do more of these festival ones.... I'm kinda curious about them since they showed up in the Pokemon anime quite a bit.
Please make a second part i love japan history X3
I actually got to play a Taiko drum when I went on my Exchange to Yokohama this past summer. The school we were doing the Exchange with three us a Culture day based on a Natsu Matsuri. I even won a small plastic Daruma Otoshi game!
I actually remember getting this game a long time ago with the drum and everything...it was fun even though the US version had US songs but it was a fun game and pretty simple. I saw some live Taiko when I went to Japanfest one year which is a cultural festival in my state for Japan..it's pretty awesome. Also I knew about the mochi pounding thing some time ago but not from this but another game which GG has covered before...Okami. I loved the interaction between the Rabbit Celestial Brush Spirit and Okami-Amaterasu. She starts out helping and everything looks peaceful...then the rabbit notices she's drooling while looking at the big blob of mochi and tries to smash her with the hammer.
Do a part two of taiko! I love this game and I wanna play it now
I've recently started trying different types of mochi. There are several Asian stores near where I live that sell they for pretty good prices.
But I've barely had more than six different kind and there's so many more to try
I used to play drums a few years ago, now thanks to this video playing taiko is on my must do list if I ever go to Japan
Ever since I saw this game a month ago, I have been agonizing for November 2nd to come
Wow, you have officially gotten me more interested in what Japan's culture has to offer AND you're making me want to get the switch. I wonder if I can buy mochi from where I am... I've never actually tried it before.
That was a very interesting video. Well presented!
Oh Dude I completely understand. At one of my favorite conventions, the AnimagiC, an Anime and Manga Convention here in Germany, if not even THE biggest Anime and Manga Con in Germany, there is usually a Taiko Group and I listened to them and it was marvellous. I just listened to it, playing it must be a whole different level of amazing.
Can we please actually get an extended version where you mention every little aspect of the culture from this game? I would actually love that
My only experience with Taiko is from Osu!Taiko and a brief moment when I was in Epcot in Disney World (see next paragraph), and its one of my absolute favorite games ever. Its a super super simple mechanic of hit the keys according to the color face you see at the right time in rhythm with the music, but it gets SOOO complicated and you have to ramp your dexterity up FAST if you want to play harder maps. I just recently ordered the game for PS2 with the drum and sticks and I'm having a ton of fun between the game of the console and plugging it into my PC to play my Osu! maps with it.
When I went to Disney World over Winter break 2018-2019, Japan Epcot had live Taiko drummers every 30-60 minutes, and in the shop there was a woman who played a Shime daiko at a live pearl clam opening booth every time someone bought and opened a clam. I asked if it was the real deal and she was surprised to hear anyone talk about it and instantly got excited about it as, come to find out, she really really really loved Taiko. She asked if I would like to learn some basics and I couldn't have been any happier in that exact moment to say yes and run around the counter to her side. She taught me the singing of Don Ka for, if I remember correctly, Don Ka DoKo KaKa DoKo KaKa Don Ka. It was so fun to be playing a real Taiko drum after playing an extremely simplified version on Osu! for so long. There were tons of people recording the event on their phones and whatnot. It was definitely an experience I won't forget and never want to ever.
Good video. I drum in a batucada samba band but I wish I could join a local taiko group too! The rhythms are really cool.
This video led to me looking more into Obon. As I researched, I was also doing a Spanish assignment to compare Día de los Muertos and Halloween, which caused me to compare those (and Samhain) to Obon. I had a lot of fun comparing these. While I looked into it more, I stumbled across someone who mentioned telling stories about Yurei during Obon. What are your thoughts on this?
You are awesome as always, GG!
Do more videos on this! It's so intresting!
Man I remember playing Taiko no Tatsujin when I lived in Japan! The many times my boys and girls club when off base (which was like 4 times even 5 times a month or whenever the heck my family felt like it) and wed stop at arcades. I miss those times.
I LOVE ALL OF IT! japan just looks so amazing, and while im sure i'll never understand what is going on during a festival, it's something i would love to see and hear for myself!
This was quite a good, entertaining, and informative video. Good job! Also, if you wanted to cover any more lesser known games in the future, I don't think any of us would complain. Keep being an awesome teacher :D
I LOVE YOU GAIJIN! KEEP UP THE WORK AND BE A GREAT NINJA AND YOU TUBER!! X)
I think I saw a Taiko Drum presentation at Epcot one time. I'm going to have to check my tape archive to see if I recorded it.
