Wait a minute... the 6th day in the 6th month of 2026... could this be the time for a satanic feature???
...nope, it isn't.
Believe it or not, we've ran out of 666-combo songs to talk about on our blog, so for a change let's have a talk on a couple of 333-Combo songs instead. It still hands out the same sum in the end, right?

pri92 (Precure 2nd song, with '9'= Kyuu)Now here's a PreCure song that is in no danger of becoming an extinct species across Taiko gaming! It's also one of of the few ending themes for the long-running PéreCure multimedia franchise to be made playable at that.
Getchu! Love Love?! is the ending theme for the original Futari wa PreCure series, the only one to close each episode of its related series at that, with a few edits for its latter-half season run. Mayumi Gojo (五條真由美), Kumiko Aoki (青木久美子) and Naoki Sato (佐藤直紀) from DANZEN! Futari wa PreCure reprise the same roles as this song's composer/lyricist/arranger respectively, with the song's first credited album release for December 2002's Futari wa Pretty Cure Vocal Album 2 VOCAL RAINBOW STORM!! ~I Want to Become Light~ (ふたりはプリキュアボーカルアルバム2 VOCAL RAINBOW STORM！！～光になりたい～).
The only song to close its own season's episodes also bolsters another primate in Taiko, as the only console-exclusive treat to date, only for Godaime players' eyes (and ears, duh). It's a lighthearted chart from yesteryear maining 1/16 beat spacing, but careless players are sure to get a hit on that 1/12-spaced giant note portion right before the 2nd Go-Go Time area!
Brand-new World The Asterisk War: The Academy City on the Water

205 ga9sen (Gakusen Toshi Asterisk, with '9'= Ku)Today's other "half-a-demon" song is also among the console-exclusive Anime ranks, although it's currently unavailable to play nowadays unless you happen to stumble across a DLC-heavy Ps Vita system of an avid V Version player. This is the original version used as an opening theme for The Asterisk Wars' Anime transposition, acting as a tie-in to the Ps Vita videogame released by Bandai Namco for the same system (The Asterisk War: Houka Kenran).
Known in Japan as Gakusen Toshi Asterisk (lit. 'Academy Battle City Asterisk'), this is a light novel series penned from September 2012 by Yū Miyazaki for ten years, bolstering a manga transposition in 2013 and the aforementioned, 2-seasons-spanning Anime series in 2015, with both branches ending in 2016. The light novel series' backdrop is a post-apocalyptic Earth of the 21st centuries, ran by the surviving megacorporations after the happening of a city-destroying impact event -the Invertia- which in turn awakened superpowers in a few select surviving humans; said humans -the Genestella- are called to enroll in special academies to compete with each other and ultimately form the planet's new defense force. The academic city of Rikka (六花), often dubbed 'Asterisk', houses six different academies with the story starting from aspiring Genestella Ayato Amagiri's involvment with one of the least-ranked ones -the Seidoukan Academy- in the search of her missing sister Haruka who attended that same academy.
Brand-new World (not to be confused with the all-caps One Piece song) is performed and lyricized by Shiena "EXiNA" Ishizawa (西沢幸奏), with arrangement/composition duties for bilbibili Anime producer Makoto Nishibe (西辺誠), under his WEST GROUND alias. With a more-coherent charting approach to the 1/16 hegemony, it's crazy to see how a net difference on BPM above 40 is more than enough to almost double the star rating from today's other song, despite sharing the same Oni notecount and having quite the generous resting place pre-Go-Go Time!
