Twitter Snippets (2022/07/26): A Heat Wave of Challenges at Ranking Dojo Gaiden

While we await the epic(?) conclusion of Ranking Dojo 2022 in about two months, the July 2022 version update for Taiko no Tatsujin Nijiiro ver. will add three sets of trials to Ranking Dojo Gaiden to hold Donders off for the moment. Yes, we do mean "three sets of trials" instead of just "three trials"; each of these sets come in three difficulty levels of Iki (粋), Miyabi (雅) and Kiwami (極) like the score ranks. We have the goals translated after the jump.

These new trials can be accessed by scanning the corresponding QR codes after entering the Ranking Dojo mode. The QR codes will be available on the Ranking Dojo Gaiden page from 2022/07/28 (approx. 10:00).

If you think missing out on tunes is bad, how about the termination of whole music games? ...
