Season 3 continues rolling with an episode 4 years in the making. Taiko drumming is a big a bedrock of classic Japanese culture as video games are for their current culture. Take a spin with Scot back into the world of Japanese arcades with the drumming game Taiko no Tatsujin, a fast paced rhythm experience that hooked him at just the right time, and his quest to find the game and achieve a perfect score on a special song.
He'll take you on the journey across an ocean to recount the game and the song that combined to form a decades long obsession. Scot also examines the J-Pop song Sakuranbo (さくらんぼ), by Japanese singer Otsuka Ai as he tries to recreate another past perfect experience in the present.
