New songs are among us, between the arcade and console fields! After you're done gawking at one rare case of an Anime track deploying 1/24 clusters for its Oni chart and the newcomers' star ratings, we'll see you after the jump for the remaining new videos...
...as well as a spicy update on the PS4 game's upcoming content...

In order to give a little bit of spice among the newcomers post-jump, we'll list the videos in order of difficulty, so the latest Yokai Watch opening theme and Yorushika's playable-Taiko debut are up first.
The easiest pick of the day hands us an easier take on the pure-1/12 charting approach; think of this as the Oklahoma Mixer's younger brother! Tada Kimi ni Hare, on the other hand, gains the 5th-star Oni rating thanks to a slightly-higher number of notes and a more upbeat tempo dictating the overall drum-hitting pace of the piece.
Next up are two 6-star Oni charts, one for the J-Pop genre and the other for the Anime one. Marigold (not to be confused with some other Marigold out there) achieves the feat with an higher note density focused in both even and odd-number small note clusters, while Gurenge has some off-spacing single note placement on its side to throw off those who are not keen on following the song's rhythm.
We got one more 6* Oni track to talk about for today: Happy Wedding-mae Song, the latest license in the "Ura-Oni-from-its-inception" arcade brigade!
While the regular chart is devoid of clusters and full of special notes pre-chorus, the Ura Oni counterpart ditches the hitballons in favor of big note alternations in solo-note sequences, with more complex note clusters tagging along for its first half.
We have a couple of songs left on the arcade side for today; they're both rated as 7-star trials and they both come from different genre categories!
In Yes we are, backbeat drumming takes the center stage with mainly 2 and 3-note clusters being spliced one after the other one, while the latest Sentai opening theme relies on its slightly-higher base speed and 3-note clusters to sip the energy away from the less-seasoned players attempting the song firsthand.
Last in line for today's newcomer showcase is the sequel song to the Namco Original 241 Deep Learning, which also made its debut as part of Session de Dodon ga Don's DLC catalogue.
Comparison-wise to its predecessor, the latest Namco Original addition trades in the 9th Oni rating star for a chart that bears more songs as well as scrolling speed changes all throughout the play, with some nasty longer clusters passing by near the half point.
Together with this Namco Original, the latest Donder Pack also brings back (among the rest of the already-revealed content) the Ura song version (+ KFM arcade charts) of Hikari no Kanata e, which is just labeled as the -Long Ver.- like Fuun! Bachi o Sensei (on Taiko PSP DX) and Hibike! Taiko no Tatsujin (on Taiko PS4) before it. Since its last appearance on the 4th Taiko Wii game, however, the song's Ura variant has been re-rated in some of its modes, with Futsuu now being a 5* (former 7*) and the once-10-star Oni now being re-rated with 9 stars instead.
As the final gold nugget of the day, the final song of the 24th Donder Pack has been fully unveiled, bringing back one dearly-esteemed song series back in activity after its last few forays on the April Fools' side!
The newcomer is called Waraeru 2000 (わら得る2000), and will make its series premiere with the PS4 game's end-September DLC pack.
