Gave in and downloaded Japanese demo.
Questions.
What does red and blue dots mean? Can you stroke with either hand whenever? I get blue seems to be hitting side of drum. Any difference with motion controls?

Yeah, (based on the arcade game) Red means hit the drum center, blue means hit the edge, large dot means hit with both sticks at the same time. Aside from large drum you can hit with either hand.
I haven't tried it yet (slow download, bought the entire game), but it should be a straight down swipe for the center, angled for the edge (on your right hand swipe down-left, on your left hand swipe down-right)
Shame that the motion controls don't seem to work so well. I bought the PS4 version with the drums last year but that thing barely works. So I don't play it as much as I'd like to because of all the missing notes. Was hoping motion controls would fair better but I guess not?
If I want this all I have to do is change my region in the settings to Japan? There is no US version planned correct?
The motion controls feel great...when they work. The game has two motions you need to do, swipe down to hit the center of the drum, swipe diagonally down and to the side to hit the edge. That one is hard as heck to do reliably, especially with your off-hand. I've gotten used to it, but it's still hard. I can do the center hit with a light flick, but for me the edge hit needs a forceful side-swipe, which is hard to do quickly. I'll likely never be as good as in the arcade; in arcade I can do Evangelion on hard difficulty, this, not so much. Still fun though, and a good work out.
Note, if you are playing on tv, don't forget to adjust the timing to fix video lag; I had to set mine to -25 to match the audio.

I'm having a blast with the game so far, can't wait for the English patch.
Love the joy-con use, but I feel like I have to flick my wrist a bit too much to get the hits recognized. I definitely won't be able to play this for more then a few songs at the time. Don't want to risk damaging my wrists from the flicks lol!
I'm hoping with future updates, they can iron out some of the joy-con connectivity, so then I don't have to flick so harshly.

To me it's perfectly fine. Load times feel a smidge too long and frequent but it's definitely not as bad as you might've heard in another thread.
Full list of songs http://www.wikihouse.com/taiko/index.php?NS1%A4%CE%BC%FD%CF%BF%B6%CA
I noticed I unlocked some songs while playing party games, so there's a few hidden behind unlocks. Every song with 隠 needs to be unlocked

Do they ship internationally on stuff like that? I thought it was just books and some games.
I set my default Amazon Japan address to a forwarding address (tenso.com can provide these if you don't already have one) and bought the digital download. I was a little surprised that it doesn't even give a code, but all I had to do was log out of my US Nintendo Account and log into my JP one, then click through the link provided in the email/at the end of checkout.
If you don't mind paying a little more over the exchange price in yen, you can always buy eShop wallet codes from a reputable seller as well.
I buy eshop cards from Play-Asia. Only problem there is you will have money left over in the account forever. The other option is to buy the physical version of the game from like Amazon.
I wonder what this guy does differently, to explain his perfect run?

You mean the motion controls? He still drops some notes so it's not perfect (still crazy impressive) but after I tried the demo I'm pretty sure the motion controls are assisted. If the note you're trying to hit is red, ambiguous motions will register as red and vice versa for blue. So he's basically hitting however he wants and as long as his red hits are somewhat straight and his blue hits are a bit off center it works because the game knows what note he's trying to hit to begin with
I just did that, 5 minutes later I'm still on the security check with my CC... is this normal?
Buying the game code for less money using Amazon JP *Dont since the Amazon Strike*
No money left in your account, you get the game and a DLC
oh.
The payment went through, now I'm supposed to wait for play asia CS to call me for a verification... should have went with amazon.
EDIT: They finally called. It's really difficult to understand their english tho. Anyways, I'm currently downloading the game! See ya on the other side :)

every playable character except don-chan and katsu-chan have some kind of play assist. kirby makes timing easier. as far as i hear there's no way to turn it off, unfortunately
This is fun! Just wish the motion controls weren't so wonky. Not sure if it's my joycons but I do keep getting hits where it registers a single "swipe" as two hits.
Had the same issue with gal metal, although not as bad as here. (And no, i don't actually swing all that crazy)

I just tried it with the demo and it worked for me, let me share to twitter too without any issues.
also, disabling motion controls is a good idea, the game's a lot more enjoyable with button presses for me B)
With the rumors that this is coming to the west, I might hold off.
But there it sits, in my amazon.co.jp shopping cart....
.....................
ALSO -- If (really, when) I do import this, how do I download DLC? Will it take my USD credit, or do I have to jump through hoops in order to purchase DLC?

fyi, there's once again an official survey for people who purchased the game. you need your access key to access it, which you can get from the options screen for the game on the switch home menu.
if you have performance issues, features you'd like to see or song requests, definitely let them know! the survey is in japanese, but an english response is still better than nothing.

I bought it. With the dang drum. I have to have this. (English version possibly coming is fine, since the tracklist will most likely be completely different. Might buy that one as well just for that difference alone.)
I'm not feeling the joycon controls. It's very unresponsive. Especially the right hand one(?) very weird. Also is it me or does this not have a latency setting, I remember for most rhythm games you would be able to set a ms delay after hitting notes a few times. Rockband and Guitar Hero had this, for TVs and such.
Gah... the wife will kill me if I pick this up... but this video really makes me want to pick this up...
there's offset options in the settings, you just have to set it manually
Whew.
Does anyone know if the drum is powered by USB (thus making it a TV only proposition, I'm guessing)?
