The Must Songs titles' signature mode, Live Festival features a selection of custom song courses that the player has to face by playing them altogether in one sitting, much like with Taiko no Tatsujin Portable Deluxe's Medley Mode.
The festivals feature up to 5 songs per run -each following a certain theme and idol cast (a particular idol/unit/game's songs, for example)- and can be played on any of the four Taiko no Tatsujin difficulties. Each of the festivals has an admission fee to pay with the money earned by playing the titles' regular Play mode (Produce Mode), but once that a live is cleared, said price is halved for all the subsequent entries. At the end of each successful run, the player is given a grade between Clear Live (reach the regular clear condition by filling the Tamashii Gauge to the yellow zone), Perfect Live (end with the Tamashii Gauge full) and M@ster Live (Full Combo the whole festival).
At the beginning, only the Intro Live Festival is available to play; however, it's possible to unlock the remaining ones by rising up the profile's Idol Rank, which is raised by playing any Live Festival course and gaining set number of fans through both playing and using the colored light-sticks, purchasable at the in-game shop. Once that the Idol Rank S is achieved, all Live Festivals are available to play and the games' Credits will be available to see.
Much like for the game's other unlockables, the Idol Rank for one set profile is applicable in both Must Songs games, meaning that the promotion to the Idol Rank S in one game will also unlock all the Live Festivals (+ credits) of the other game from the very beginning.
