The flavor of music in the latest home conversion is animation - with tunes from popular series such as Inuyasha, Naruto, One Piece, and Sailormoon sounding out. The latest TnT in the arcades is up to #5 but you'll have to spend over US$10000 for a new machine. The PS2 versions offer drum banging action at a tidy discount... Recent Sightings in Cinema
Thirty five minutes into the 2003 film "Lost in Translation" which stars Bill Murray and Scarlet Johansson, a Japanese chap may be viewed thundering along on a Taiko no Tatsujin coin-op. A few seconds later, a spiky-haired fellow may be seen enjoying another rhythm game, Guitar Freaks, whilst dragging lazily on a cigarette. Still further along, a whirling dervish of a teen may be seen slapping heartily on a Pop 'n Music machine. Bemani heaven, indeed.
