Wow. I will 100% be getting this when it releases! Combining music and bubble pop is such a great idea, and the addition of Miku, Teto, AND Mesmerizer certainly did not hurt. But will it have an English translation?

that's unknown for now.. mm.. but looking at other Taito games released on Switch, like Groove Coaster and Touhou Spell Bubble, there is the English translated game on the overseas Nintendo eshop page, but we'll have to wait for the japanese launch day (fall 2025, not exact date yet) to see if there are other UI languages available :miku_lili::teto_smile_lili:
(or maybe during the Tokyo Game Show in September they'll give more info hehe)
