Released in April this year as special edition software to download for Nintendo Switch, KORG Gadget for Nintendo Switch captured the hearts of DTM users and musicians worldwide. To celebrate their first original software launch, they will be hosting a music event at the event space on the 1st floor of Pony Canyon. The event will be called “KORG Gadget Home Party” and will take place on Sunday 9th September.
Special attendees include Nobuyoshi Sano, who is not only the composer behind many popular games series such as Ridge Racer, Tekken, Drakengard, and Beatmania, but also played an active role in the development of this software. The KORG Gadget series development team and special guests will also be present at the event.
As this is KORG Gadget’s first event, they have arranged for a multitude of entertainment, such as “KORG Gadget Ogiri”, where guests can take part, and “Multiplay de e-sports wo tanoshimo”. This lineup of events are an opportunity to experience music making with this software. One event that has caught a lot of attention is the “User Gakkyoku Contest Gadget 1”.
This is an official KORG contest which invites users to submit original songs and demo song remixes. They will accept anything as long as it is not a copy of something that has already been produced. It must also be made using only KORG Gadget for Nintendo Switch and must be under 30 seconds long. Information about applying can be found on Twitter with the hashtag #ガジェ1. We can only imagine the variety of songs and genres from all the users that will take part.
Other events include the “KORG Talk”, which will be held by KORG staff, and KORG Gadget for HOME PARTY, a live improvisation created using only this software. This event is full of fun! Those who do not have a Nintendo Switch can still attend the event, however, users who bring their Nintendo Switch to the venue can compete with the hosts and enjoy the games at the event, so if you have one, please bring it!
Tickets to this event are available for purchase from 8pm on Friday 10th August from TiGET. So, are you up for a fun-filled, interactive event where you can immerse yourself in a world of gaming music? If so, KORG Gadget for Nintendo Switch is for you!

Since opening in March, Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan has caught the world’s attention, leading global game fans to pray even harder for Japan to reopen for tourism. Now, the park is scheduled to level up with a new Donkey Kong-themed area scheduled to open in 2024. Currently, Super Nintendo World is filled with Mario-inspired attractions, dining options, and shops, recreating some of the most memorable parts of the franchise in a larger-than-life way. The new Donkey Kong area will feature a roller coaster and more interactive experiences, as well as themed merchandise and food options. Guests will be able to walk through lush jungles, where Donkey Kong and his friends live. The creation of the new area will more than double the size of Super Nintendo World.
Launched as an arcade game by Nintendo in 1981, Donkey Kong quickly took the world by storm, with games continuing to be released on Nintendo systems from the SNES to the Nintendo Switch. As of March 2021, the series has sold over 65 million units worldwide. Comment from Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto
“I am very happy to be able to make the world of Donkey Kong a reality following the world of Mario. I am looking forward to creating a thrilling Donkey Kong experience with the amazing team at Universal. It will take some time until it is completed, but it will be a unique area for not only people who are familiar with Donkey Kong games but for all guests.” WIZARDING WORLD and all related trademarks, characters, names, and indicia are © & ™ Warner Bros.
