A Namco Original feature just for you, one which made its debut in the same way that today's arcade newcomer has also done!

???This past-paced Japanesque rock piece whose reading key was supplied by its author over Twitter (link) happens to be the first song in Taiko gaming from Keita Miyoshi (三好啓太; website; SoundCloud), a musician most commonly known by his Peroneri alias. Studying electronic music since his thildhood, this artist started composing/lyricising his own music in late 2012, while also strong of musical experience in the orchestral and chamber music fields, from which his passion of pop and classical music have sprouted their roots. Owner of the Sense of Purpose label as well as actor in several other doujin unit collaboration works, Keita Miyoshi is also a music producer for the Five Eighth Inc. Japanese music company.
Prior to Taiko, music gaming already caught wind of the artist as Peroneri for a number of works, starting from Bemani's music-composition contests that germinated into several original songs being released for jubeat (Fairy Fair), MÚSECA (DEREVA), pop'n music (Sakurairo no Melody) and most importantly, SOUND VOLTEX with over a dozen of songs to date, the most popular of which arguably being Everlasting Message (which also got ported to MÚSECA and REFLEC BEAT, later on). Other music game-affine companies could muster the artist's talent before Kien Banjou Kagura's release, counting lowiro's Arcaea (Sulfur) and Sega's Ongeki (Desperado Waltz).
There's no amount of special notes or resting place to either hide on or to catch your breath on Kien Banjou Kagura's Oni trial... What you see is what you get: a relentless barrage of note clusters whose main aim is to wear off its players' physical resistance while also throwing some curve balls as 1/12 and 1/24 cluster spikes along the way. With such drum-beating pressure and those killer quick Don note streams, no wonder why this song has made it past the 1100-notes Oni count!
