O'Tsuka Reia Katsu Kare! Kareinaru Kare!!
My fellow Taiko fans! I present to you the most iconic boss battle in the entire Taiko no Tatsujin franchise; Don-chan and Kacchan's close friend from Wii 2: Alumi-Chan!!!

I love how the song's translation, it's literally the whole point of the battle: Trying to bring back Alumi's memories via a Taiko melody to rescue her from darkness and hatred. ... Yep that sounds about right.

[@AmeNiki109]

Exactly the theme of the battle interpreted and stylized in lyrics by yours truly. (Also I love your Axel Profile pic from Kingdom Hearts! Axel is hands down one of my favorite characters from the series. His voice played by Fujiwara Keiji aka the dad from Crayon Shin Chan has always “Got Memorized” in my memory since I was a kid and will forever go down in history)

[@MoonlightMirage]

If any boss battle defines the franchise, this is THE battle, a battle of fun vs hatred, a back and forth battle, between you and your brainwashed friend… Lovely translation too!

[@abbycollins]

Agreed! Thank you for introducing this to me on discord, btw- I love Alumi!!!

[@ichigoseed1216]

Love the fact that the subs also jumping just like Alumi that's cute

[@AmeNiki109]

I do too! That was fun to make!

[@xr_xharprazoraxtra5428]

after nearly 10 years, i finally understand what they were saying...

[@jealleygames]

This is how all final boss battles should be. I love how this was building and reached eventually as part of the story, I mean its simple but very effective, and I think Hikari no Kanata e and the boss battle itself couldnt be splitted, thats what I miss in recent versions of this song in new Taiko for Switch, without the voices of Don-chan and Alumi-chan I dont feel all the intensity of the battle. Appreciate this translation, I always listen to this from where the conversation with the bad guy transforming Alumi into evil, it always get me.

[@Star.6739]

Same, at least it's better than the unlockable version in Wii 2, which cuts out the second verse *though during the intermissions between Verse 1 and Verse 3 there is some charting, which is better than the large gaps of nothing in ~Long Version~*

[@Star.6739]

Btw, I think either Wii 3 or Wii 4 has the boss battle version

[@MoonlightMirage]

The crazy thing is that it's the penultimate boss battle, not the final -- regardless, this IS the climax of the game, with the final boss being the conclusion essentially We finally get the final piece of the puzzle to Alumi's origins...and in the end she was meant to be a Waru Mecha. (Though that's changed for the better these days)

[@MoonlightMirage]

Side note, that yell at 3:00 gets me every time-

[@Dangan2020]

Finally able to understand what did they say during the song... impressive performance on your side too! (FC on HARDEST difficulty?!)

[@bolizx9783]

This is the MOST impressive part of Taiko Wii2! Thanks for the hard working onto the translation!

[@attherasco]

I like how even when don chan and katsu chan are crying they still smile lmao

[@possiblymatt7970]

just smile *smile*

[@ScrunklyScrimblo_Spoingle_Mipy]

Just smile and wave boys 👋🥲

[@Star.6739]

And I love how during the battle, Don and/or Katsu look so excited during the battle

[@CheezItMuncherZack]

Me: taiko has a story mode My brother: i want to get hit with a stunstick. Me: what?

[@Star.6739]

Idk he looked pretty happy when he was beating her up, and then celebrated when he killed her

[@lindsey11201]

you did an amazing job on this ame!

[@AmeNiki109]

Thank you so much, Joestarr!!! I really enjoyed making this video and I'm so glad you and the others are enjoying it!

[@localsniper3050]

Namco Bandai really decided that they should be sadists by 1. making this boss very hard as the second-to-last boss (hell, maybe even harder than the FINAL BOSS so that's saying something?) and 2. Make the distraction COVER THE ENTIRE SCREEN like hell so now your eyes can't see everything. Thanks, charters, for making the FC players suffer, we'll see you in therapy Jokes aside, is there a way to play this game for non-Japanese players? Maybe via emulators?

[@kirbypie3830]

I've been waiting for this one! This is awesome, especially the way how you made the text move with the characters and included the song lyrics! Ended up singing along- Amazing job Ame!

[@cronchy]

THANK U SO MUCH FOR POSTING THESE FR

[@Samuel-uj3wy]

this is very well made! high effort! congratulations!

[@AmeNiki109]

Thank you so much, Tanuki Samuel!! I had so much fun working on this project and couldn’t wait to see what everyone thought! Especially about the fan translation!

[@MoonlightMirage]

Something else I really find fascinating about evil/Waru Alumi: so you know how most of the Waru Mecha (except Antimon and Tellu) have a W emblem? Alumi's comes in the form of a glowing outline near the top of her head - and then the outline extends across her body! I dunno I just think that looks really cool and helps to enhance the "brainwashed/evil power-up" vibe

[@UltraPoyoColt]

Yes! I used to play this game on my modded wii but never finished it due to small song selection

[@filzah4187]

Congratulation you are best

[@SonicAndMarioFanGirl]

I LOVE the Translation and Gameplay

[@davidchirinos1366]

As soon as I finished this boss fight, I was really wanting to see what the characters were saying. Sure, context clues and all were easy to figure out, but at least this gives the dialog some more personality, and the animations are really charming, plus making the action more dynamic and flowing more naturally. I wish sometimes they were a bit easier to read ^^; Also, for curiosity’s sake, when Alumi does her circuitry attack, on the colored panels, what do they mean? They look like prompts, kinda like a machine would make decisions on, but I could be wrong. Nonetheless, great job!

[@MoonlightMirage]

The red one translates to "Hate" on the top and "Festival" on the bottom The green one translates to "Like/Love" on the top and "Destroy/Destruction" on the bottom

[@davidchirinos1366]

Oooo, that's dope. Thanks for the reply!

[@uenoe233tatrkbussid]
