All songs with other specific requirements to pass to Master Route are accepted, whether by drumroll (Garyoutensei series etc), by accuracy, which is the example given in the question (Saitama 2000, OOdain, Taiko Time etc) or by ignorance (Soroban 2000)
10) In 2009, three songs were said to be released using a second secret code of Taiko 12, which is non-existent and is actually a fan-made April Fools joke which spread like wildfire. Name the three songs.
We've never covered this before so this is a question that can be answered only by the most avid of Taiko fans.The three songs said to be released on Taiko 12 were Xenon ac.12, Gift Cosmo Card, and Tenka Kobu (天下鼓舞). On April Fools day of that year, false notecharts were made for the first two on Wikihouse again and again and were deleted many times by frustrated admins.
