"Taiko Drum Monster" wears its Taiko no Tatsujin energy on its sleeve with thundering percussion, while "Crystal Hail" shifts to something colder and more precise. "Kyokuken" and "Ikazuchi" both carry that Japanese arcade intensity, the former pushing technical limits and the latter striking with lightning-themed urgency that matches its name.
