[Out of the Shadows] - FREEDOM DiVE (Back into the Dephts of Hell, and Never Crawl Back)
Give yourself a pat on the back, as you've found yet another hidden page! Here lies Lokamp's original rant on the song FREEDOM DiVE↓, taken from its future-sight Song of the Week entry.
DISCLAIMER: The opinions being reported here don't represent the beliefs of all the Taiko Time staff members, only Lokamp's (unless otherwise specified).
------------------------------------------------
And, so, until the song's Taiko release comes by, that's pretty much everything I ever have to say about xi's FREEDOM DiVE↓.
...
...
...actually, I might have something else to s-THIS SONG SUCKS BEYOND FUCKING COMPARE!! How the fuck is it possible for this glorified turbo-trash to get in so many fucking places?!? Is your average music game-playing crowd soooo desperate and starving for 'template songs for incredibly hard difficulty charts' to resort on such a disgust of a fast song every single time?!?!?
To all those people who ironically (or not) joke on how 'Freedom Dive is an osu! original song or whatever', and to the people complaining -hyronically or not- about such trend happening anywhere, I'd like to ask the following instead: why not focus on the real core of the problem instead?... with that core problem being 'HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU IDOLATRIZING SUCH A BAD SONG AT ALL???' I'd rather pull out a truck out of swampy waters with only a rope to pull with my buttcheeks clenched in-between with an headphone set stapled at my ears that plays nothing but fucking Hatsune Miku songs from here to the rest of eternity, than even entertain my mind with the wild idea of giving one more earing of what could be better described by me as ultimate auditory diabetes. I'm dead. Fucking. Serious.
If I could gamble on a dice match with xi on the state of existence of this rancid, Button-Mashing Shithole from any time and plane of existence, I'd give it a try on a heartbeat just to spare the few unaware people out there who run the risk into dealing with such repulsive filth. I mean seriously, what were they thinking when they decided that adding such a disgrace would have been a good idea?... no wait, I stand corrected. What were WEthinking, as the collective Taiko community, to lead such a decade-old calamity to victory in that PS4 DLC poll without finding a better alternative?!?
At the end of the day, that's the worst thing to come out of this whole debacle... this was a 100% avoidable incident to happen, had it appeared a better song alternative to take the lead. I mean, during those polls for the PS Vita DLC there were better ideas to become playable songs, so if such a disaster was avoided once, why did it happen now?.. ...I suppose to be part of the minority to whine about this inclusion, seeing how the results are already out, so if you're rejoicing over the news of Freedom Dive becoming playable has made your day, good for you! Just, don't expect that your 'bombastic masterpiece' to be recognized as such by everyone on the planet, that's all.
By this point, all that it's left for me to do is to accept the result.
Lie on it.
Going through the process of forgetting about it.

Taiko no Tatsujin song list
The first arcade machine ever released, and the first in the series. Released in February 2001, with three difficulty levels, Kantan, Futsuu and Muzukashii. It uses the first and oldest graphics engine for Taiko (obviously). There are no song previews on the song selection screen in Taiko 1. The genre arrangement was also different from what we have now. The anime and J-Pop section was already fully formed, however variety songs and Namco Originals were grouped based on their musical genres, like pop, rock, ska and so on. Game music and classic songs had yet to be introduced to the series.
The only song to survive from Taiko 1 and made it all the way up to the current versions is Anpanman no March. Most of the rest have slid into obscurity, however a few select songs like Taiyou mo Yapapa, Jigoku no Taiko Jiten and Off Rock are slowly being revived and given new notecharts on console Taiko versions.

Meccha! Taiko no Tatsujin DS: Nanatsu no Shima no Daibouken! song list
Second Taiko no Tatsujin game for the Nintendo DS, released in April 24 2008. The game is packaged with two 'bachi-pen' like in the first game, and a sticker sheet. The sticker sheet is filled with round stickers that apparently are used to replace the pictures on the top of the bachi-pen for decoration. Since they're one-use only, collectors will probably not see it as a great idea, but at least it's an extra.
The main adventure mode involves Don-chan challenging dojos through seven different islands, and all the stages involve clearing certain objectives (such as achieve a certain score on a certain song, etc.), replacing the need for issuing challenges through letters which are pretty easy to miss. Meccha! Taiko no Tatsujin DS is the first Taiko console game to feature boss fights, obstacles that cover the scroll bar, and bomb notes to trip up the player, which along with costumes and in-game letters have become regular additions to console Taiko. When the Taiko sounds are changed, the Taiko on the lower screen will change to a different picture, unlike the first DS Taiko. This is carried over to Taiko DS3. The song list, at the time of release, was only second to Taiko Portable 2 in terms of total number, and exceeds the final PS2 game by 2 songs.
The adventure mode here is the first of its kind on any Taiko game, which has never had a proper story mode before this. Through this game, Namco Original songs were made specially for the villains of the story, a trend that would continue to later games. The villains introduced here, the Dokon-Dan, gained immense popularity and have become staple characters and make appearances, both major and minor, in nearly every subsequent console Taiko game.

Taiko no Tatsujin DS: Dororon! Youkai Dai Kessen! song list
One of the best selling Taiko games of the 'Nintendo generation' (consisting of 3 DS and Wii Taiko games released back-to-back without swapping hardware companies), staying in Japan's top 10 weekly sales for about a month and lingered in the top 50 for more than half a year subsequently. Key to its popularity wasn't just the RPG mode, but the great selection of songs overall, which included favorites like Hatsune Miku song Melt and new fan favorites in Namco Original like Tenyou no Mai.
