1.) Version History
v1.14 - Added a new downloadable song.
v1.13 - Added a new downloadable song.
v1.12 - Added a new downloadable song. Also updated the information for the
downloadable songs to include the date of when the song was released
for download.
v1.11 - Sort of a small update. Added a new downloadable song and remade the
Downloadable Content section to give more accurate steps to download
new songs. Also added lyrics for the song Neo Melodramatic.
v1.10 - Quite a version number change! I decided to make it a "complete" FAQ
because I probably won't be done with the lyrics anytime soon, but at
least the list of songs are all there! Anyway, added brief information
for the 3 new downloadable songs, as well as instructions on how to
download them. Also got rid of the Interesting Stuff section.
v0.75 - The FAQ went under a tiny bit of renovation, but for the most part,
it's the same. Added song names for #23 and #33. Added lyrics for
Kata On The Rock.
v0.71 - A small update but an important one. I noticed there were some font
problems because of a few symbols that looked normal on my computer,
but didn't look normal on others, so I fixed it. I also added some
small bits of information for various songs.
v0.70 - The first version of the guide, not very complete but still enough to
be enjoyed by most.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.) Introduction
What is Taiko no Tatsujin Portable?
Taiko no Tatsujin Portable is a music based game by Namco, much like the music
based games by Konami. A similar version of Taiko no Tatsujin for the
Playstation 2 had you using a Japanese drum called a Taiko to beat to the music
notes that showed up on the screen. In this new portable version of the game,
the Taiko accessory is not available, but is still played using the regular
buttons on the PSP. This game can also be played at the arcade using a near
full sized Taiko, but arcade machines of Taiko no Tatsujin are scarce in North
America.
What is the object of this FAQ?
The object of this FAQ is not to help you play the game, but is designed for
those who have an interest in the music from the game. Here you will find some
information about the songs played in the game with a full set of lyrics.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.) Song List
In this section, I will list the songs in the order that they are in at
default, in the game. With each song, I will list the artists that did the
songs, lyrics (if they have them of course), and any additional information
related to the song.
A few things to note is that each song's genre is split up as the game splits
them up. I didn't make up the genres. Also note that even though many of
these songs have lyrics, I don't have them prepared. If you have lyrics to
contribute for a song on this list that I have not covered yet, please e-mail
me at the address at the top of this text. One final note is that none of the
songs in the Namco Original section has an artist. The reason I did not give
an artist, is that it would be pretty difficult for me to find out the artist's
for each song, even though I bet that most of the songs are by one composer.
The singers in each of the songs are most likely just some cast members for the
game that had voice overs. I don't feel that it's a big thing to note there,
especially not compared to big J-POP artists, who definitely need to be noted
in the song list.
Here is a list of all the songs in the game with their respective positions in
the game. The songs with a * to the right of their name means that the song
needs to be unlocked. The songs with *DL* to the right of their name means the
song needs to be downloaded to be played. Refer to the Downloadable Content
section if you haven't downloaded them yet and would like to.

17.) Lupin Sansei no Theme '78
Title in English: Theme From Lupin the 3rd '78
Artist: ???
Genre: Anime
Anime: Lupin the 3rd '78
Other Notes: I've heard MANY versions of this song by many different artists,
so I have no idea who did this particular version. Everything got all messed
up when they put a remix of this song in DDR...
18.) ignited -Ignited-
Title in English: Ignited
Artist: T.M. Revolution
Genre: Anime
Anime: Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny
Lyrics:
yasashii sono yubi ga owari ni fureru toki
ima dake kimi dake shinjite mo iin darou?
dare mo ga kuzureteku negai wo motome sugite
jibun ga ochite yuku basho wo sagashiteru
kizutsukete yureru shika dekinai
zawameku omoi ga bokura no shinjitsu nara
kowareau kara ugokenai
sabishii hane kasanete
deau hikari no nai jidai no
mabishisa wo misete
Other Notes: Lyrics are from www.animelyrics.com by Alison. The "-Ignited-"
part of the song name is just a translation of the Japanese lettering in the
name. The song name in Japan isn't actually named by saying "Ignited" two
times. It seems popular these days to provide a title for a movie or a song or
etc. in English lettering, then have it in Japanese lettering after it. T.M.
Revolution has done that for several of his songs.
19.) WE WILL ROCK YOU
Title in English: We Will Rock You

21.) I'm A Slave 4 U
Title in English: I'm A Slave 4 U
Artist: Britney Spears
Genre: Variety
Lyrics:
I know I may be young, but I've got feelings too.
And I need to do what I feel like doing.
So let me go and just listen.
All you people look at me like I'm a little girl.
Well did you ever think it be okay for me to step into this world.
Always saying little girl don't step into the club.
Well I'm just tryin' to find out why cause dancing's what I love.
Get it get it, get it get it (whoooa)
Get it get it, get it get it (whoooooa)(do you like it)
Get it get it, get it get it (ooohhhh)(this feels good)
I know I may come off quiet, I may come off shy.
But I feel like talking, feel like dancing when I see this guy.
What's practical is logical. what the hell, who cares?
All I know is I'm so happy when you're dancing there.
I'm a slave for you. I cannot hold it; I cannot control it.
I'm a slave for you. I won't deny it; I'm not trying to hide it.
Baby, don't you wanna, dance upon me,
(I just wanna dance next to you)
To another time and place.
Baby, don't you wanna, dance upon me,
(are you ready)
Leaving behind my name, my age.
(lets go)

22.) TRUTH
Title in English: Truth
Artist: T-Square
Genre: Variety
Other Notes: Thanks to TraumaFox for letting me know the artist for this song.
23.) Mokusei
Title in English: Jupiter
Artist: Gustav Holst
Genre: Classical
Other Notes: The full name of the song is actually Mokusei Kumikyoku Wakusei
Yori. In english, it's Jupiter - The Bringer of Jollity. The title in english
isn't the translation of the Japanese song name, it is just the name of the
song to North Americans. The first two letters on the top right of the name
when you go to select it in game spells out as "Mokusei" followed by
"Kumikyoku" then "Wakusei" in the square quotes, followed by two more
characters "Yori". The last part of the name is "Holst", obviously referring
to the composer of the song. The translation of "Kumikyoku 'Wakusei' Yori"
would be "The 'Planets' Suite", referring to Holst's suite of songs, one song
for each of the planets. This song needs to be unlocked before it can be
played.
24.) Turkey Koushinkyoku
Title in English: Turkish March
Artist: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Genre: Classical
Other Notes: In the game, the name "Mozart" is to the left corner of the main
song name.
25.) Walkure no Kikou
Title in English: Rise of the Valkyries
Artist: Richard Wagner
Genre: Classical
Other Notes: "Walkure" is German for "Valkyrie". In the song name, I decided
to keep it as "Walkure" because it sounds most like what the Japanese would
say, "Warukyuure", and the song is of German origin. In the game, the name
"Wagner" is to the left corner of the main song name.
26.) Miwaku no Rhythm
Title in English: Crazy Rhythm
Artist: Stephane Grappelli
Genre: Classical
Lyrics:
Other Notes: Lyrics will be coming soon.
27.) Entertainer
Title in English: The Entertainer
Artist: Scott Joplin
Genre: Classical
Other Notes: I know that the Japanese do call this song "The Entertainer",
however the word "The" is strangely absent in the name of the song in this
game. As a result, the original song name listed here is just "Entertainer".
28.) Onpu no Uta
Title in English: Song of Notes
Genre: Namco Original
Lyrics:
Other Notes: Lyrics will be coming soon. This song is the same song played in
the Tutorial.
29.) Nijiiro Yumeiro Taikoiro

Title in English: Katamari On The Rocks
Genre: Namco Original
Lyrics:
Katamari damashi
Na na na...
Osoroi no t-shirts
Teami no muffler nado
Heart-warming mejiro oshi
Hitare etsu! Say goodbye (bye-bye)
Minna katamete shimaimashou, funpatsu shichaimasu

Other Notes: Lyrics are from www.chudahs-corner.com by Ongakusei and edited for
this FAQ by The Steel. In the game, it says "~Main Theme" to the left corner
of the main song name. This song is from the game "Katamari Damacy".

Title in English: Yoku Deru 2000
Genre: Namco Original
Lyrics:
Other Notes: Lyrics will be coming soon. There isn't really a way to translate
the title, so I just left it as "Yoku Deru 2000". This song needs to be
unlocked before it can be played.
39.) Soul Calibur II
Title in English: Soul Calibur II
Genre: Namco Original
Date Released: November 16, 2005
Other Notes: This one should be obvious to most Namco fans! The song is of
course, "Brave Sword, Braver Soul" (as titled from Soul Calibur II and from the
song select screen in this game) from Soul Calibur II. This song needs to be
downloaded before it can be played.
40.) Garyoutensei
Title in English: The Final Step
Genre: Namco Original
Date Released: November 8, 2005
Other Notes: This song needs to be downloaded before it can be played.
41.) KAGEKIYO
Title in English: Kagekiyo
Genre: Namco Original
Date Released: October 25, 2005
Other Notes: "KAGEKIYO" can't really be translated, it's just a name. The
lettering to the left of "KAGEKIYO" on the song select screen says "Genpei
Toumaden Medley". "Genpei Toumaden" might be better known to North Americans
as "Samurai Ghost" (Note: "Genpei Toumaden" does not translate into English as
"Samurai Ghost"), although the only American version of the game is for the
TurboGrafx-16. "KAGEKIYO" was probably the name of the main theme from the
game. As a result, this song is based on the music from the game "Genpei
Toumaden". This song needs to be downloaded before it can be played.
42.) Mechadeath.

Date Released: October 13, 2005

Genre: Namco Original
Date Released: September 27, 2005
Lyrics:
Other Notes: Lyrics will be coming soon. Like "Yoku Deru 2000", there isn't
really a way to translate the title, so I just left it as "Kechadon 2000".
This song needs to be downloaded before it can be played.
44.) Babel no Tou
Title in English: Tower of Babel
Genre: Namco Original
Date Released: September 27, 2005

4.) Downloadable Content
As of September 27, 2005, Namco has began their downloadable content for this
game! In this section, I'll explain how to download these songs incase
you haven't yet.
How do you download these new songs?
That's probably what you're asking if you're lost and want to play these new
songs. Well, here is a step by step tutorial on how to download these songs.
If you don't want to use this tutorial and would like to use the tutorial at
Namco's site, go to
http://namco-ch.net/taiko_portable/download/index.php and
select the first option to start the tutorial with pictures. Note that this is
in all Japanese.
Before beginning, check if you have a folder called "PPCD00765_NAMCO_TAIKO" in
your SAVEDATA folder in your memory stick. If you have one, it means you've
already done the first three steps, and you can start at step 4.
1.) First off, start up your game and go to the Memory Stick Duo options. To
get there, go to the main menu in the game, go to the farthest right
option, then go to the second option to the left.
2.) After you enter that, select the second option to the left.
3.) After selecting that, you will be faced with a screen that looks very
similar to when the game is saving or loading. When it comes to the
point where it asks you for something and there are two new options,
select the one on the left (the two options were yes and no). It will
begin saving a new data folder in your SAVEDATA folder in your memory
stick.
4.) Now you can connect your PSP to your computer to access the new savedata
you made. Connect it up, and go to your SAVEDATA Folder, then go to the
folder called "PPCD00765_NAMCO_TAIKO".
5.) After you have entered this folder, there will be five files, one of
which is download.htm. Run that file and it will lead you to a blank
page with a link on it.
6.) Click on the link, then the next page looks VERY similar to
http://namco-ch.net/taiko_portable/download/index.php however, it is
NOT the same. The site above does NOT lead to the downloadable songs.
7.) At this new page, select the green barred option (which should be the
second one, NOT the third). This will lead you to a new page where it'll
have some information on downloading files correctly that you most likely
can't read anyway as it's in all Japanese.
8.) Scroll down at that page until you see two buttons and click on the one
on the left. Now you'll be at a page where you can select a song to
download.
9.) Select one of the songs you would like to download. Each song will lead
you to a page with a picture of DON and KAT in the middle of the page.
10.) If you click on either DON or KAT, your browser will prompt you to
download a file. Save this file inside the "PPCD00765_NAMCO_TAIKO"
folder in your memory stick. You must download BOTH of the DON and KAT
files for a song for the song to work.
Each song is between 1.5mb to 2.0mb so you can most likely afford downloading
them all even if you only have a 32mb memory stick. After you've downloaded
all the songs, go ahead and start up your game again. When you go to play in
single song mode, your new songs will be there with a DL stamp. These songs
cannot be played in other modes.
Well, that's all you need to do to download these songs. Seems like a lot, but
it really isn't. Enjoy!

5.) Some FAQs
Here, I'll just clarify some things that are too minor to have their own
section, along with questions you might have in mind.
Q. I have something to contribute to your FAQ! How can I contact you?
A. You can e-mail me at the e-mail provided at the top of the FAQ. I'm not the
fastest at replying, but I will reply to your e-mail within at least a
couple of days. You can also post on the GameFAQs message boards about
stuff if you want to get my attention as I check it often, even though there
isn't much activity.
Q. You translated something wrong!
A. I bet I did, so if you know the correction, e-mail it to me.
Q. How "soon" are your lyrics coming?
A. Your best bet is never. I'm pretty lazy when it comes to compiling lyrics
and it's also pretty hard to do, that's why I decided to provide lyrics by
other people.
Q. You have the songs all out of place! What gives?
A. The order of the songs are in the order that is made by default when you
play the game. If you've changed the order of the songs, the order here
will not be the same as yours. Also, you need to have unlocked every song
for your set of songs to match mine.
Q. Is this game coming to America?
A. Hard to say. As of this FAQ, there is no information on it coming to North
America. I highly doubt it will, but you never know.
Q. Can you provide a menu translation for this game?
A. Sorry, I'm not around doing that, mainly because I doubt I will translate
everything properly. I'm sure someone else will make one if there isn't
already one around.
Q. Does this game have a soundtrack?
A. There isn't really a soundtrack for the game itself, but there is a
soundtrack that includes many anime songs from all of the Taiko no Tatsujin
games called Taiko no Tatsujin: Super Animehit Original Soundtrack. It was
recently released on August 24, 2005. There are also two older soundtracks
called RED and BLUE that were released in 2003.
Q. Can I get the songs in any way? Will you send the songs to me?
A. Unless you know me personally, no, I will not send songs to you, however if
you want some of the music from this game, I suggest searching online at
various sites. One of my favorites is
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp for buying
CDs. I can't provide any sites with mp3s.
Q. I love this game! Can you suggest any other games similar to this one?
A. Well there are many versions of Taiko no Tatsujin for the PS2. I would also
check out any game made by the Konami subcompany, Bemani, such as Beatmania,
Drummania, Guitar Freaks, and many other great music games.
Q. This FAQ sucks!
A. Thanks a lot, I can feel my self-esteem going up already.

6.) Final Thoughts
Hurray, this is my first FAQ! I enjoyed working on it. I've always wanted to
make a FAQ ever since I've been a part of GameFAQs, but have never found a good
game to work on that hadn't already had loads of FAQs on it already. I hope to
make more FAQs in the future.
I would like to thank the following people and organizations:
GameFAQs of course, for hosting this FAQ and being an a great resource on the
internet for video games.
Megchan, for allowing use many of her romanized lyrics from her site,
http://www.megchan.com
Cori, also for allowing use of romanized lyrics as well, from her site,
http://www.corichan.com
Anime Lyrics, for (you guessed it) lyrics for some of the songs in the anime
genre. Visit them at
http://www.animelyrics.com
bookends, for giving me some meaningful advice and a little help with katakana
translation for the song list.
kuraki_dan, for first bringing up good information on downloadable content long
before it came out.
xeno-kun, for helping me out with some of the kanji in a couple of the songs.
And a final thanks to all the people reading the FAQ and hopefully getting
something out of it! Yay!
If you feel like you should be thanked, just let me know who you are, and why
you should be credited.
