Studio
The Studio (スタジオ?, Sutajio) is an area in Rhythm Tengoku accessed through the main menu. Here the player can listen to the music they've unlocked through the Perfect Campaign, as well as make use of their Drum Lessons by drumming to the music. Some Perfect Campaigns reward new drums to try out in the Studio as well.
After getting all Perfects, the Barista adds more music to the Studio.
Gameplay
Here the player can access a selection of tracks from the game, depending of the amount of Perfects obtained thus far. On the MUSIC LIST, the player can choose to listen to music, drum to it, move the tracks around or mark them.
While Listening (リスニング?, Risuningu), Anata appears in the Drum Lessons area, but instead of playing, he drinks coffee while the music plays. The Samurai Drummer is absent as well.The background displays various patterns or scenes depending on the track. After the song ends, it moves on to the next track that has a checkmark in the list, and loops to the top after the last track. Unlike the next two games, the player can't set the tracks to shuffle or play in order, and the tracks are usually in whatever order they were added as Gifts through the Perfect Campaign unless the player decides to move them around. The player can press the Select button to return to the Studio menu at any time.
When the player chooses Drumming (ドラミング?, Doramingu)', they first must choose the drums from the DRUMS LIST, collected from the Perfect Campaign. The various drums make different sounds. The controls are the same as in the Drum Lessons, and they can be considered a "practice" of sorts for this mode and Live. While drumming, the normal drum beat of the song is removed. After the song ends, the player can save their performance, but they can only save up to 10 performances[1]. There is also a "Silence" track which allows the player to drum freely, essentially composing a song.
The player can use Narabikae (ならびかえ?, Sorting) to sort the music and Check (チェック?, Chekku) to mark a track for Listening mode.
