The music aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with players enjoying the solid selection of over 70 songs and the engaging mini-games that accompany them. However, some criticize the limited song library, particularly on the Switch, and the reliance on paid DLC for additional tracks, which may detract from the overall experience. Additionally, the Japan-centric tracklist may not appeal to all players, and some control schemes have been noted as less accurate.
“With more than 70 songs and dozens of minigames, it's going to keep players tapping and drumming along for hours, and likely humming the songs for hours after playing too.”
“There are already a bunch of songs on the eShop, including a Ghibli pack that is a must-buy.”
“[adorable visuals, great variety of control options, solid selection of music, party mini-games are fun and addictive].”
“To make matters worse, they have songs available to purchase if you want to add to the library.”
“With the updated technology, they should've been able to pack five times the number of songs onto the cartridge.”
“Japan-centric tracklist may turn off some players, and the Switch has a weaker song selection, while the PS4 version walls many good songs as DLC.”
