Taiko no Tatsujin DS: Dororon! Youkai Dai Kessen! secret songs

Below are all the secret songs found in Taiko DS3 and how you can unlock them.

Taiko no Tatsujin 8 song list

Taiko no Tatsujin 8 arcade
The 8th arcade Taiko, released on March 2006. Arcade Taiko became a lot more forgiving from this version onwards with the addition of the Revival Roulette, giving you a chance to continue to the next song if you failed to clear the first. The number of chances is reduced as you go higher up the difficulty scale (Futsuu-Muzukashii-Oni), and no matter how badly you suck at Kantan, you'll always be able to play all the songs without going through the roulette. This was to make the arcade more kid-friendly so they can get their money's worth on their first steps into Taiko.

In other developments, the Game Music genre was added here, which is the final genre in the modern set. Baizoku, Sanbai and Yonbai modifiers were added in Taiko 8, and can be accessed together with Doron. The legendary J-Pop song Kurenai was introduced here, and instantly became a revered symbol in Taiko, for being generally a great song, for having long, long streams, and for being the first song with 999 notes (the first song to go beyond 900, in fact).

Kare Kano Kanon lyrics



Lyrics: Yasugawa Shougo (ヤスカワショウゴ)
Vocals: Mamechiyo Nakamura (中村豆千代)
Composer: Keiichi Okabe (岡部啓一)

Taiko no Tatsujin 14 more info

~contributed by crystalsuicune. Thanks!

According to 2chan, a Taiko 14 arcade machine was leaked out before the official release date (September 8) so this info may not be 100% accurate but they are shown as follows:

1.There's no AC version of Tenyou no Mai,it's the same as the one in DS3. (Good. They understand the confusion Senpuu no Mai caused back in AC13)
2.Taiko Time's a 10-star song,although it's easier than it sounds.There are tatsujin/kurouto/futsuu notes,BTW (HOLY CRAP YES! THE BLOG IS NAMED AFTER A 10-STAR ONI SONG!)
3.SORA-III is a 9-star song,with slow BPM and mixed patterns (9* makes it the highest difficlty in the whole SORA series. Looking forward to it!)
4.NECOLOGY is a 9-star song
5.KAGEKIYO gets an 10-star Inner Oni notechart (single player),with those crazy 1/24 patterns seen in Inner!Tank (Hurp...wasn't expecting this. What happened to KAGYUKIYO? Anyway, hard notes = good news)
6 .Ridge Racer also gets a 10-star Inner Oni notechart (Yes, yes, yes! BRING THE PAIN!)
7.Both "Black Rock Shooter" and "My soul,your Beats!" are 8-star songs (8* for BRS? I expected 9)

No videos yet, but all should be made clear once the official release comes.

Taiko no Tatsujin 14 secret screenshot


Using the same 'View Page Source' trick as the previous blog entry, this secret screenshot was revealed on last week's Taiko Team blog. They cut out the name of the song (the title bar being completely back makes it so convenient for them to hide secrets), and shows a new impossible balloon note before another long stream of notes. Is this Taiko Time?
