Utacchi is a rhythm video game developed and published by Konami for the Nintendo DS in 2010. It was released exclusively in Japan under the Pop'n Music series. The game plays with the system held in "book style" as the player interacts with falling notes using the stylus. The name 'Utacchi' is a portmanteau of the Japanese words "uta", meaning 'song', and "tachi", a loan word from English meaning 'touch'.

Flick notes dont fucking work making it impossible to FC, but overrall a great experience
Beatmaps are ok, song selection is good and character design is great. It’s fun for playing casually but if you aim to get a 100% or perfect songs, you will end up ripping your hair off before you achieve that. Note response time is sluggy at times and for some reason the slide and flick notes don’t work properly. No idea who playtested this honestly.
Hey did you know there's a pop'n music spinoff on DS?
Hey did you know the pop'n music spinoff is controlled exclusively with the stylus and all the keysounded beats are vocals, so they can only have about 100-200 notes per song? Also did you know there's a 10% meter penalty for dropping a note? And that there's these slide notes where you have to swipe up on the screen but the swiping gesture doesn't work because it doesn't know whether to track the moment your stylus taps or the moment it slides?
I will burn a lifetime learning rhythm games at fundamentals level but if the crux of your difficulty is making a singular input type work correctly and everything else is easy-peasy I'm just not gonna give it the time of day. There's not even much to look forward to here, what, you wanna jam out to the chibi maruko-chan theme song?
Bad game lol

I finished with 30 songs unlocked and
cleared before feeling like I had my fill. I'm not too great at rythem games, but this one is pretty acessable and easy to understand, even despite the language barrier. I got interested in Pop'n Music for a little bit, and wanted to try the series so I settled on this spin off of the series. The song selection is pretty good all considered, I personally like the raunchy midi versions of the real pop songs. My one biggest complaint would be the method of unlocking songs is kinda boring and tedious. There is a "campaign" mode, but all it really is is playing the songs from a song list in any order, if you pass you get points to unlock more songs from the store, if you fail you get no points. My gripe with this is I felt discouraged from playing on the harder difficulties because even if I practiced the songs to eventually beat them, I wasnt making any progress on raking in points to unlock more songs, so it felt like a waste of time. I instead just stuck to the default difficultly and tried to master the handful I had the best I could. The character designs and animations are pretty good though, which seems like that carrys over from Pop'n Music.
