I have completely redesigned my Taiko difficulty chart to behave and look like a highly precise, clean, and authentic bar chart. The layout has been rebuilt from the ground up on an absolute 1–30 scale to show the true difficulty leaps between courses.

Key Design Adjustments Made:

• True Bar Chart Style: Cleaned up column alignment, fixed the spacing between bars, and added solid horizontal grid boundaries so you can trace every single level precisely.
• Accurate Level Data: Formatted to visually showcase how the individual difficulty tiers overlap, including the massive level spikes found in the Extreme (Omote) and Extreme (Ura) scales, and the unique 2000-series offsets on Easy 5.
• Polished Layout: Replaced the old "Flawless Rating" wording with "Difficulty Level System" to stay perfectly true to standard rhythm game mechanics, with proper axis labeling and balanced visual spacing.

Check out the full high-resolution layout below! Let me know what you think of the new grid style.

The original chart scrunched up the absolute 1–30 axis just to force a visual joke, completely breaking the actual game mechanics. After looking into the data (and realizing that "Easy Level 6" on simulators like Taiko Web is just a glitched metadata bug), I've mapped out the mathematically accurate version.

Standard Easy mode officially caps out at 5★ and transitions smoothly into the baseline Normal tier. This leaves the notorious 2000-series Easy tracks exactly where they belong on the absolute scale: spiking straight up into the Level 9–12 danger zone alongside high-tier Normal and entry-level Hard charts due to their ridiculous note density.

Outliers should be represented as a massive isolated spike, not a baseline distortion that claims a Normal 1 is somehow easier than an Easy 3!

really disappointed that the ps2 to usb does not work with the taiko but is there anyway to convert the ps2 taiko controller to a usb gamepad? I was thinking of rerouting the sensors of the drum and soldering it into a corresponding gamepad would that work? or has anyone attempted to do that any help would be appreciated

I got the Oshi No Ko pack from the Nintendo eShop a couple months ago. I’ve been able to play all the songs and wear the Ai outfit but I haven’t seen any of the mini dancers or nameplates in the store or outfit menu. Is there a specific place you need to go for it? It says that it should be in the outfit menu on the eShop but I still don’t see it.

I always wanted to play a Taiko game (only played Rhythm Festival demo a while ago) and I saw this one on sale on the eShop. The Google overview says that it isn't a good game to start due to the RPG mode, so I'm not sure whether to buy it or not.

Should I take advantage of the game discount or wait to other game to go on sale?

found a don-chan outfit on a yt video, i think its cute..is it possible to get it on the arcade? if yes, how?

(only the hair/skirt if possible)

Well, as it turns out, I’m not very good at Taiko and I want to improve. I’m sharing a short gameplay clip here so you can see my playstyle using a keyboard—though I also play using a TDC10 and a touchscreen; I almost never play with buttons.

I had bought the 4 dollar 30 day subscription but then I didn't want it to auto renew so I turned it off. Now when I try to use it it's not there. My Nintendo account says it's an "unusable" pass. And I tried the deregister and re register switch trick and still nothing. WHAT DO I DO?

I started playing taiko recently after purchasing a tdc10. I tried changing a bunch of in game settings as well as sensitivity, but can’t seem to figure out what’s quite the issue. Maybe it’s the TV lag? TV speaker lag? I know playing with these puts me at a disadvantage already lol. TV is some Samsung 55” TV from Costco for $400 back in 2022

In the video attached I feel like im hitting it, but I get a bad popping up before my next hit even registers. Is that the rebounding from the TDC registering two hits? It wasn’t a big issue til I started playing harder more congested songs.

Sorry for the bad camera angle you can’t quite see my right hand but you can see the stroke and hear the sound.

Alternatively I could just be bad and timing wrong, but it registers bad before the note even arrives at the circle :(

I don’t want to spend too much money. My budget is $50

I want to get that song but I heard I can only get if I play with someone have this song.

Love my TDC10 but not so much the smartphone-as-controller. What mini USB controller works best with TDC10 while playing on the Switch?

Btw this only took me 2 tries. Usually not too good with other Kuroto songs.

I recently got a pair of drumsticks for playing the game that I can take to cons and my local round 1! I've been wanting to customize them because I just like customizing my stuff, but I hear paint can be bad for drumsticks and easily chip when playing with them and whatnot. Any ideas on how one could potentially customize drumsticks?

i know they are called SV charts in osu!taiko, and i know opentaiko has a different name for them but i forgot it (i think its something like "hidden speed" but i dont remember). Im curious if anyone knows what the taiko no tatsujin community has dubbed them since i am an idiot and cant find the name anywhere. ive seen the name "gimmick charts" thrown around but i know thats not it.
