the grind was so real but the insanely strong songlist made the grind worth it. Plus the reward for doing everything is EVERY GOT DAMN 2000 SONG. That alone makes this one of the best taiko games in the series. The game also does its plot in a passive manner as the songs you play go towards your don chan as it grows up and does things. It do help when it comes to not having the game just be a pile of songs and not much else. If you only can play one taiko game, this one's a pretty darn strong contender.
