Ok, find another guy, dude. xD
@aqua: Namco has already released the method to unlock the Shinta Mode! It will be awaiable after October 1st, by the way.
(help on translation will be useful, guys ^^")
10月1日に発表する、真打モードの解禁コマンドを入力後、
タイトル画面にて「コインを1枚以上入れた状態」で
「1P、2Pどちらかの太鼓の右フチを連続10回叩く」
ことで「真打モード」を使用することができます。
To release on October 1, after entering The Shinta mode of lifting,
At the title screen, "one or more coins into the state" in
"1P, 2P 10th consecutive hit the right edge of the drum either."
That "Shinta mode" can be used.
Another thingy fact is that the highscores made with the Shinta mode won't be registered in the Taiko arcade machine, but they are still awaiable for score submitting to the Taiko Dojo.
Plus, don't forget to check my last rough copies of articles! I still have to find a video about an old song for the Variety Dancers issue.
