Taiko no Tatsujin - Funashi promo

Full of Funashi.

Taiko rainin more joy on arcades this mint with their Don x Funashi crossover. Anyone landing in Japan since the best part of the beginning of the year will be well acquainted with Chiba Funabashi's mascot Funashi. His hyper bounding and screeching voice have made him a beloved "yurokyara" (mascot) in Japan and with his own line of sweets, TV specials and endorsing everything from Pizza to pesticides has finally reached the epoch of merchandising - Taiko no Tatsujin.

The prizes look pretty dope, Banapass users will have exclusive access to these highly limited and sort after goods. Choosing selected song and achieving certain scores will enter you into prize draws. A must for all Funashi / Don fans.

Taiko no Tatsujin - Sangaria

Ichi, ni, Sangaria!

The past few months have been pretty good to Taiko fans, with candy crossovers, McDonalds toys and now the extremely limited run of Sangaria soft drinks.

Promoting healthy (or healthier) soft drinks, the Osaka based beverage company is relatively small compared to monster companies such as Kirin and Suntory. However this latest run is helping to reaffirm itself as the fun party brand. 

Their slogan "Ichi, ni, Sangria!" Is a play on the Japanese words "one, two, three" (ichi, ni, san).

Oishi-Don!

The McDons of marketing

Great to see gaming merch at McDonalds, showing just how big Taiko no Tatsujin is in Japan.

During the McCampaign, exclusive items have been been released on arcade taiko machines - McFries-don and McShake-don (awesome).
