573, when pronounced in Japanese, is 'ko-na-mi', and we all know who that is. Even though Konami has nothing to do with the Taiko series, 573 is referenced quite a few times.
765, when pronounced in Japanese, is 'na-mu-ko', thus it spells out Namco. 765 has been used in more Namco games than just Taiko though. First song to have 765 combo is KAGEKIYO.
777 is important not because it's the lucky number, but because this was the exact number of days between the release dates of the first PS2 Taiko and the 5th PS2 Taiko. Koibumi 2000 then featured 777 notes in total (in Taiko PS2 5, invariably) and was the first song with this number of notes.
876, when pronounced in Japanese, is 'ba-na-mu', or 'ban-nam'. It's the abbreviation of Bandai Namco. First song with this number of beats is EkiBEN 2000.
888 is there because it's a nice triple digit number.
999 is the highest limit of notes for any Taiko song, and it holds significance just because of that. First song to have this highest number is Kurenai. Although it is the maximum limit, there exist songs with more than 999 notes as well.
And now, the list of songs with these significant numbers as the max combo! (Oni difficulty unless otherwise noted) Note:
