According to a Cubed3 interview with Bandai Namco's Ken Nakadate, the company may just be willing to give the series another chance in the U.S. on a system that doesn't require any specialized hardware: the DS. In response to C3's inquiry about localization, Nakadate gave an answer that is one step above the normal "we haven't announced anything" response:
"We want the customers in Europe and US to enjoy the Japanese Taiko drum. The schedule for US or European releases is undecided but we would release them if we receive a lot of requests from US and European customers!"
Enjoy the Japanese Taiko drum! Enjoy it with all of your heart!

If it does, I hope it's packaged with the two "taiko drum sticks" styluses. :D

Definitely keep it Japanese. I bought two copies of the localized Taiko Drum Master (bought the 2nd one pretty cheap) but never play the game that comes with it. The japanese games are just so much more fun.
