???Appearing as the 700th playable song in Blue Version arcades (at least, until new song additions/removals will occur), here's a Namco Original that feels like belonging to more than a song series in particular for Taiko lore...
Is it related to the YMY travel songs? The ancient-history tales? Possibly a candidate for a 'fairytale' song series with former NO releases such as Gunslinger Cinderella and Marionette Pure? Whatever the case, we are sure -at the very least- of one thing: Shining☆Abracadabra is the latest Taiko no Tatsujin song that was brought us by one recurring composer/singer duo, consisting of the nick-named Drop and Yura Hatsuki (葉月ゆら).
Bearing the same base BPM value of Shining 65, the latest addition to the Taiko series' collective original production sports a note-dense Oni chart that draws one too many parallels with the aforementioned Marionette Pure's Oni; both songs' Oni trials are heavy on note density and both sport hybrid 1/12-1/16 clusters to drive away early Full Combo attempts in slightly different ways, with this song's focus being more on a constant 1/16 hybridation threat rather than the former song's longer (albeit more concentrated) cluster focus towards the end.
