Rhythm Shiryō-Shitsu

Rhythm Tengoku, like Rhythm Heaven and Rhythm Heaven Fever, has several letters obtained after achieving perfects on Rhythm Games. The original letters are in Japanese, however, these English translations come from the fan translation called Rhythm Heaven Silver. Not all information may be 100% correct.

Two letters are unlocked before getting perfects: Rhythm Heaven Welcome, and Handling Instructions.

Rhythm Heaven Welcome

Hello!

Thanks for purchasing "Rhythm Heaven Silver." Huh?  You borrowed it from a friend? Or bought it u-used?

Well, putting that aside, we're honored that you're interested in this game. We are glad we met you!

We hope you enjoy it for a long, long time!!

Thank you.

(The letter also contains a translator's note from the people who translated the game to English.)

Handling Instructions

How to Play this Game

It's not such a complicated game that it needs explanation. So there's actually not much to write here.

Well, there is one thing. The whole point is to get into the music, so you should play with that goal in mind. You'll enjoy it much more if your whole body feels the beat. That's our advice.

That's about it. Pleasure to meet you!

More Than a Barista

Obtained by getting a perfect in Remix 4.

Hi there. I run the local cafe. You can say I'm a "manager". Thanks to the regulars, the business is about tolerable. Ah, right, I get ahead of myself. I'm a dog.

                                                                                                                 ...

But being a dog doesn't mean I can't own a cafe. In fact, people say that my doggedness is what keeps this little shop open. I also hear that many of my customers really like music.

Especially when it comes to rhythm: a lot of them are really into it. There is even one who has completed a bunch of Perfect Campaigns. I am always so surprised when they come in with yet another medal! Anway...

Although I am always running the cafe, to tell you the truth, it's only a front for my real passion. Truthfully, I...

Well, it's a bit embarrassing, but I'm always merrily listening to music with my dog headphones! Basically, I can't brew coffee without grooving to the music. I'm in a fix. Heh.

I hang out at all sorts of places around town, so if you see me, please pet me!

Letter to the Editor

Obtained by getting a perfect in Rhythm Tweezers.

I'm retired, but I grow vegetables to pass the time. Lately, my vegetables have been growing facial hair! Obviously, customers don't want to buy gross, hairy vegetables. Since the vegetables won't sell if they're covered in hair, I've been plucking the hairs -- But I couldn't always pluck them perfectly.

This was quite a dilemma.

While trying to liven up the mood, I decided to pluck the hairs while listening to music. Then I was able to pluck them cleanly every time, and it's somehow more enjoyable now! The power of music really is incredible. I think everyone should try plucking the hairs from vegetables!

Ryan Williams: From Radio Heaven News in Deep Space, I'm Ryan Williams.

I'm here live in the void of space for an exclusive interview! To my right is Mr. Spaceballer. How are you today?

Space Slugger: I'm well. I think I really gave it my all in the last game.

Ryan Williams: Good to hear. How's the season looking right now?

Space Slugger: I'm eating rice balls, so it's right on the mark!

Ryan Williams: And what is your goal in all this?

Space Slugger: To not forget the rice balls!

Ryan Williams: Makes sense to me. Do you have a girlfriend?

Space Slugger: Yes, I do. She's right over there. Celeste comes to all of my practices and games.

Ryan Williams: What else does Celeste do for you?

Space Slugger: What else? Her cooking specialty is rice balls!

Ryan Williams: So it sounds like you two are the perfect match.

Space Slugger: Indeed. It may be trite, but we were made for each other.

Ryan Williams: I'm watching you in the middle of the game. You're getting homerun after homerun. Then suddenly, after watching a ball sail into outer space, I look back, and you're not there. Why the masks?

Space Slugger: What are you talking about?

Ryan Williams: Why do you put on, for example, a rabbit costume?

Space Slugger: I don't know what you're talking about.

Ryan Williams: Answer the question!

Space Slugger: Ah, time is up. Excuse me.

Ryan Williams: That's it, folks! Mr. Spaceballer left his seat. There seems to be some kind of special circumstance that we cannot be privy to. That's all the information we're getting out of him. Ryan Williams, Radio Heaven News, Deep Space.

Marcher's Diary

Obtained by getting a perfect in Tram & Pauline.

April 16 - Today I enlisted in the Marcher Corps! I'm gonna do my best for my new comrades!

April 20 - Today the commander got angry at me for not being able to march in step with the others.

April 28 - Today I swept the front of the station. An old woman said to me ''Thank you for your hard work.'' and gave me me piece of candy. I'm so happy!

May 4 - I've been feeling listless lately. Maybe this is what they call the summer doldrums. If I don't shape up, I might get left behind...

May 8 - The commander has been acting weird... He just told me he played with rabbits in space yesterday. I wonder if he's OK...?

May 16 - Today, I saw a group of people that looked just like my commander. This can't be just my imagination!

May 22 - I saw it! The commander...

The diary ends here.

What could have happened to the commander!?

You might be having some trouble seeing your Rhythm Sense. Mightn't it improve naturally if you spend time working with it? Mix rhythm into everyday life, and don't take it so seriously! It would probably be more enjoyable that way.

To live more naturally,

To live more enjoyably,

I nurture that which is yet so small,

My sense of rhythm.

New groove in your soul,

Oh, Yeah!

This beat!

Rhythm Haiku Folio

Obtained by getting a perfect in Fireworks. Together let's forge. The skill that everyone has; our sense of rhythm.

''It is possible to develop latent rhythm sense with practice. Daily repetition is even more effective.''

Moving and doing. As I go about my day, Is this called rhythm?

''It's good to feel and embrace your rhythm sense during everyday life. While walking, brushing your teeth or cooking you should move with consciousness of your rhythm.''

You have good rhythm, but if your flow is better, your rhythm's it's best.

''.Rhythm sense and flow are separate things. While honing your sense of rhythm, you should also try to develop good flow.''

Let's not be hasty, wait patiently for the rest and don't lose the flow.

''Counting accurately during a rest is difficult and it's tempting to start too soon. The ability to stay composed during the rests is critical to good flow and rhythm.''

Even in old age, rhythm sense can sprout and grow. Just go with your flow!

''Rhythm sense will grow exceptionally even in adults so long as you try to be conscious of your rhythm.''
