The 5th arcade Taiko, released on October 2003, nearly a full year after arcade Taiko 4 came out. By this time, nearly most of the songs have complete difficulty sets (i.e. can be selected from Kantan all the way up to Donderful). The only exception is the songs created specially for Taiko, which at this time have just had a Futsuu difficulty added to every one of them, and cannot be selected on Kantan.
The new feature in Taiko 5 is the addition of a mode to pick a song before picking a difficulty, instead of the other way around. However, if you choose to pick songs before difficulties on Taiko 5, you will not be able to play on Donderful mode. That's just the way things worked back then, could be a design flaw or maybe it was intended to be that way. This was rectified in all subsequent arcade models with this option.
The total number of songs is 54. Old genre arrangements, as usual.
