The game will feature iconic songs from Neon Genesis Evangelion, Disney favorites including Frozen and Zootopia, and tracks from Kemono Friends, Osomatsu San, Hatsune Miku, and even Touhou Project. We didn't forget to include some of our own personal favorite songs from the Tekken series, Tales of Berseria, Ridge Racer, and IdolM@ster!

Taiko no Tatsujin was released in 2001 in Japan as an arcade game. This is the first time that we're releasing the series in the United States on PS4!
"One cool new feature I would like to tell you about is that you'll be able to battle online with ghost data collected from players all over the world. We're also including some popular anime songs from Dragon Ball, One Piece, and Attack on Titan, so be sure to check them out when you pick up the game!"
"Hello, this is Takehito Sasaoka, a member of the Taiko no Tatsujin development team. It's been 18 years since Taiko no Tatsujin showed up in arcades in Japan for the first time. "Taiko no Tatsujin" was born with the concept of 'Anyone can easily enjoy playing Taiko through the rhythm of music.' Eighteen years later, I hope that everyone in the world enjoys the series and what it represents. Please enjoy and play the game with the kawaii characters including Don-chan!"
And that it gets all the DLC.That's awesome! I hope it includes all songs from the Japanese release.
