Vocaloid X Taiko No Tatsujin (Taiko Drum Masters)

Miku, KAITO, MEIKO, Len, Rin, and Luka in Taiko no Tatsujin 14

There has been a lot of talk about Project Diva but Miku has ben a constant in another game since 2009. Bandai-Namco's popular Taiko simulation game "Taiko no Tatsuji" (Known as "Taiko Drum Masters" overseas. ) has played host to some of Miku's most popular songs.

In 2009 she made her debut in "Taiko no Tatsuji 12 DON! to zouryou han" (Taiko no Tatsujin 12 Extended) with the song "Melt". While her voice appared there was no image of Miku.

Later that year the song "World is Mine" was added to Taiko no Tatsujin 13.

The following year, Miku and her Crypton buddies debuted on the arcade machine for the songs "Melt" and "World is Mine" On Taiko no Tatsujin 14. "Black Rock ★Shooter" was added to TnT14 however, neither Miku nor Black Rock Shooter appear in the song.

While no new songs have been added, Miku's three songs are still on the latest version of TnT. Named "Taiko no Tatsujin" it is referred to as "Taiko no Tatsujin hiragana" because the name is no different from the first game but hiragana is included in the name.

On the home console front, "Melt" debuted on the 2010 DS Tnt named "Taiko no Tatsuji DORORON! YO-KAI dai kessen".  Miku and the Crypton vocaloids can be seen on this verson.

On the PSP Miku's song "Hatsune Miku no gekisho" (The intense singing of Hatsune Miku) appeard on "Taiko no Tatsujin Portable DX" The song instead of being listed as "feat. Miku" was listed in game music as from "Hatsune Miku: Project Diva 2nd"

"Black Rock ★Shooter" and "World is Mine" are on the Wii versions "Taiko no Tatsuji WII Minna de PARTY 3 daime" (Everyone Party for the 3rd time) and "Taiko no Tatsuji WII ketteihan" (Ultimate Edition) Once again only on the song "World is Mine" to the vocaloid avatars appear.

"Taiko no Tatujin: The tiny dragon and the mysterious orb." Featuring songs "Tell Your World" and "The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku"













Miku and her friends will make the leap to 3D when they are featured on the Nintendo 3DS verson, "Taiko no Tatsujin chibi DORAGOn to fushigi na O-BU" (Taiko no Tatsujin The tiny dragon and the mysterious orb) Miku will be performing "Tell Your World" and "The disappearance of Hatsune Miku"
While Miku has enjoyed the spot light, Her fellow Cyrpton vocaloids KAITO, MEIKO, Len, Rin, and Luka have danced with her on screen but, only Miku has performed.

  2. Sorry to take so long to reply to your question.
    The songs do not need to be purchased for the arcade version. The icons and avatars can be purchased with points you have gotten through playing the game.
