I went back and played through Rhythm Tengoku (GBA), since my Japanese is now better than the first time I went through and I easily get trapped into spending too long on things once I get started. What a well-done game!
It’s short if you know what you’re doing, and long if you don’t. It’s full of nice little quirky segments with great music, and is laid out in such a way that skills build upon each other roughly progressively. It also comes with drum lessons. It’s a crying shame they didn’t take it out of Japan, but since it had that dubious distinction of being a GBA game from 2006, it had no chance of happening. But I think it would have gone over well if they had given it a proper localization (I think that’s a hard requirement due to a number of verbal audio cues). You don’t really need to know Japanese that well to just play it, though.
Wish I had the sequels.
