You're truly hardcore if you wear this!

Along the lines of the Pac-Man hat that came out a few months ago, now we're graced with these Taiko head pieces!
I'd love to see somebody wear one of these in a busy shopping mall! The onlooker reactions would be priceless!

It's definitely out in the US.
I see it for sale everywhere for $59.99...comes in a nice big box!
I don't own a PS2 so I can't comment on how faithful it is to the Japanese arcade edition.

I have it (their are like 7-9 of them in Japan at this point, but only the first one is available in the states). I got mine from Circuit City for $35 a little while ago. What I can say about it is (A.) The music is great, (B.) The drum is the least sensitive controller i've ever used (someone I know actualy put a hole in his one due to having to hit it so hard), and (C.) despite the controller issues it was worth every penny.

I've heard the same - while the game got an excellent conversion (and is known as Taiko Drum Master here), the controller is absolutely horrible. I had a go at a demo unit at a local store a few weeks back, and it was horrible.

On a similar subject, who's excited for the impending Beatmania release here this fall?
