The ninth arcade Taiko machine, released on December 2006. Minor aesthetic changes were made, with the result screen showing the number of 良・可・不可 obtained by the player in a song, as opposed to just showing just the percentage accuracy in previous arcades, which makes gauging accuracy much easier for expert players.
Song Select was taken out, as it seems a bit pointless at this juncture to choose a single difficulty for two or more songs in a row (with all the modifiers, players might want to swap between them after one song). So the only way of choosing songs is by, more conveniently, choosing a difficulty first, then a song, then repeat. The final modifier, Abekobe mode, which reverses red notes and blue notes, was introduced here.
No other major modifications was made on Taiko 9, however the legendary song, Kita Saitama 2000 made its debut here (and on PSP1 at roughly the same time)
Total number of songs is 100.
