Haha, that would be embarrassing. I would only do that if I could full combo a 10 star song. But sadly, I cannot. I wore it to this Japanese anime/video game convention. I really want to go use the bachi in an arcade though!!

if me, i wouldn't mind bringing the bachi to play but not the costume haha

well, u can bring ur bachis to be used in the arcade.
dont think its much of a problem

thats what me , yuu and chinkai does.
we have our own bachis

Having own bachi is to be comfy with your bachi, just like part of your body.
^_^

i love my bachi =D
but chinkai's one also not bad to use

eh... how u all get ur primary materials ah? for example the wood

Use broomstick?

They're quite light.
But I play using drumsticks sometimes~

use rolling pin!!!
hahahahahahahaha

i bought my bachis from a chinese orchestra shop

Those jazz set drumsticks seriously is light and quite good to play with instead of the ones we bought at the CO shop..
lolz~ Now i need anti-vibe ones.. xD

Yeah, I think I'll have problems with my hands getting sore, because those bachi may look cool, but they are pretty heavy. I guess I'll just see next time I go play at an arcade.

i'll try to make my own bachi ... mwahahaha

Good luck with that. Let us all know how they turn out!

omg.. pyro your costume is really imba.. shocked at the effort you put in haha.. bachi you can use rolling pin.. mine the same as the one teru used.. from same place.. $4 only in total.. just sandpaper one side so it wont damage the poor taiko. taiko's have feelings. =x

i have longer rolling pins from daiso.
hu wants? u can cut them shorter and lacquer them.


i realise i prefer my heavy bachis afterall

LoL yue... too heavy not very efficient leh...

its ok leh. u ask yuu lor. i can play long on it de arh

but your performance can be better if you use a lighter bachi lo

this i totally agree!

and jack, i'm so used to my heavy bachis already.
if i borrowed a nice grip light bachi
(like yuu's or chinkais)
i can play better its true

but hey, heavy bachis have its uses.
i use less force to hit the drum.
i just let gravity and the weight of the bachis do its thing

side note ...
that time while playing with yuu using my heavy bachis,
i accidently dropped one on the drum face...
and it entered gameplay
hahaha luckily it was on a song we dont mind playing
really lucky

OK SORRY FOR PUTTING THIS IN CAPS BUT I'M REALLY GUSHING OVER THIS! PYRO I LOVE YOUR COSTUME!!! OMGWTFBBQ!!! EHHHHHHHHHHHH~ SUGOI!

I saw a lot of machinery around the middle of the video, what are those for? And how do you actually have access to all that stuff!

Haha, the machinery stuff was inside a screen printing shop which is where logos and stuff are printed on t-shirts. My grandpa was good friends with the guy who owned the place, so he was able to print the Taiko logos on the shirt. In fact he made extra t-shirts, just because, so I got some extra Taiko shirts. I had like 2 mediums and 2 xtra larges. I gave one medium size shirt to this other Taiko fan, and one x-large to my sister. I still have 1 medium which I wear, and 1 x-large taiko shirt.

OMG!!!!! I WANT TAIKO NO TATSUJIN T-SHIRTS!!
And i'm thinking about getting Taiko Dojo specialized Polo shirts with taiko no tatsujin too xD

Eg, the back of the neck, you have open mouth kat picture and the taiko dojo url, then on the left sleeve, you can put your arcade name, below your name, you can put "ONI PLAYER" or something like that.
On the front, we can put the taiko no tatsujin kanji on the left chest of the polo shirt there.
Color of polo shirt will be black.

Lolz, my imagination runs wild for black taiko dojo polo shirt now.

THAT WOULD BE SWEET. I think you might want to do that after/when/if we get a domain name though.

And polo shirts would be niiice.
