Summer has just begun, yet we're receiving a tidal wave of news from Taiko games right before their highly anticipated 15th Anniversary livestream! The last of which concerns the always-popular app for i-devices, introducing an alternate system to enjoy its songs.
As the game's overall songlist starts to rival even the size of the past generation's arcade models in terms of size, Version 3.0.0 of Taiko Plus introduces the Gakkyoku Tori Houdai (楽曲取り放題) mode (no relation with the Android app), a subscription system featuring a selection of Taiko songs from its many past song packs. The service launches with over 100 songs, featuring subscription options for a week (250 Yen), a month (500 Yen) and three months (1400 Yen).
Below is a list of all the songs involved in the Gakkyoku Tori Houdai service at launch, sorted by genre:
