Any self-respecting game with online update capabilities should have a plan for continuing content after the initial release, and the 4th-generational version of the arcade Taiko no Tatsujin (nicknamed Nijiiro ver.) has not failed at this front.
The main new addition is the Start Dash 2020 (スタートダッシュ2020) campaign, an unlockable-item bonanza exclusively for users of Banapassport or other supported Amusement IC cards. Every credit on Nijiiro ver. will grant you 10* exclusive medals for the campaign, and every 10 medals* rewards you with either a song, Taiko sound or outfit item to your Donder profile. The full reward list is after the jump.
Addendum (2020/03/25): The medals are given in units of 10s in-game.
This campaign will start on March 24 2020 with the release of the new version. While it is intended to be a time-limited event, there is currently no definite ending date at this moment (guess why), so Donders are encouraged to play only when you are available.

Meanwhile, Donders are reminded that it may take some time for the Donder Hiroba to reopen after the version change, due to the work needed to port the Donder profile data.
The new arcade version will also have one Farewell Song coming in about a month's time:
