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!

Night Walk Riddle
Obtained by getting a perfect in Night Walk 2.
You know that little guy in Night Walk? It turns out he really loves music.
Actually, it seems he's appeared in other music-related games before, and it's
because of that connection that he appears in Rhythm Heaven Silver.
Recently, I had a chance encounter with him on the street, but when I tried to
talk him, he just said ''I love music!'' and disappeared up some stairs. He's such a
musical buff! I hope I meet him again. But... I don't even know his real name!
So, here we have the Night Walk quiz!
The music loving fellow is named...
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7)
All you have to do is fill in the letters! To figure it out, try filling in the blanks on the next page!
The Secret of the ''Quiz'' game.
You know how the (1)layer in Quiz has to push the button the right number of times to wi(7)? Wel(2), instead of stopping on the right answer tr(5) pushing the buttons as m(3)ny times (6)s possible for a cool surprise! Well, at least I think it's prett(4) cool.

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.
Ryan Williams: What else does your girlfriend do for you?
Space Slugger: Her cooking specialty is rice balls!
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.
Horse Machine's Story
Obtained by getting a perfect in Spaceball 2.
The Secret Story Behind the Development of the Horse Machine.
Today we have a special interview with ''Mr.F'', the developer of the ''Horse Machine''. (The Horse Machine can be played in the ''Toys'' menu if you have seven medals.)
Mr.F: ''I started developing (the Horse Machine) in order to share the good feeling of riding a horse.''
Though his words may be simple, Mr.F speaks with passion in his voice.
Mr.F : ''But when i tried to fulfill all the conditions of a game, I often lost sight of the answer and there were times when I thought of giving up.''
Mr.F has experienced hard times. It is often difficult to express yourself properly within the framework you are given.
Mr.F: ''But if the people who play (The Horse Machine) become even the slightest bit happier, all those hardships will fly away!''
You are so dedicated to your craft, Mr.F. We will anxiously await your next creation. Thank you.

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!

Charm of love, wonder of love.
Shape of love, nuance of love.
Honey sweet angel.
What is the meaning of love in reverse!
I do not understand it all.
Moreover, in other words to reverse
it means love.
Very sweet-sour strawberry milk.
We look like it.
I LOVE U.
Charm of love, wonder of love.
Shape of love, Nuance of love.
Honey sweet angel.

WISH : I can't wait for you
Vocals : Tanaka Soushi
Lyrics and Composition : Tsunku
Arrangement : Yuasa Kouichi
I can't wait for you so tonight is my goodbye.
I wanted for us to love each other more.
This lonely night makes me remember.
Many of our happy moments.
The meeting in this city and
the burning passion we had.
Without any doubts we held each other tight.
It's the caprice of life, isn't it.
This wish for us to meet again.
Before i could notice.
You were giving me a cold kiss.
My dreams are becoming hazy.
You are becoming hazy.
It's burning, burning.
The pain in my chest.
I can't really take it.
I can't wait for you so tonight is my goodbye.
I wanted for us to love each other more.
This lonely night makes me remember.
Many of our happy moments.
I can't wait for you so tonight is my goodbye.
I hoped we could be together
Our favorite station makes me remember.
Lonely, our happy moments.
The Final Letter
Obtained by getting a perfect in Remix 8.
A strange letter has arrived from the Rhythm League.
''Congratulations!! Remix 8 was almost impossible, but you beat it! ...that would be the extravagant way to congratulate you, but we're going to show restraint. At any rate, you've earned a lot of medals and gotten a really high flow score, haven't you? This is an incontestable fact that we recognize. You are the greatest! No, you're the super greatest!...that is how we feel, but we're not going to spoil you with too much praise. The rhythm that your body felt in this game is only a tiny fraction of all of Rhythm Heaven. If this game has made you take an interest in rhythm, you should seize this opportunity to explore your rhythmic limits! Developing your sense of rhythm is awesome, man!! You totally need to go for it!!...is what we'd say if we wanted to pressure you, but we're not going to force you to do anything you don't want to do.
However, we are serious.
We really want you to grow and master your rhythm!
We believe that someday you will return as the leader of Rhythm Heaven! In fact, we believe only YOU can master the rhythm necessary to do so!!
You really are the best!
Thank you for playing!''
Sincerely
Representative for the Rhythm League,
Space Uncle.
The Ninja Scroll
Obtained by getting a perfect in Ninja Reincarnate.
Nice to meet you, everyone. My name's Tanaka. That's my real name, but don't tell my friends that, okay?? To them, i'm ''Hammer.''
I recently found a scroll in the attic. This is what was written in it...
''Thou who reads this: You did not find this scroll by chance. I have used my ninjutsu to ensure that you find it. This may be hard to believe, but I, the person writing this, am a ninja. I am also your ancestor.''
''The other day, I protected my lord from a hail of arrows at risk to my life. That night, I had a dream about a young man. A young man who lives with his back turned toward the world... a discontented young man.''
''According to the fortune teller, you are that young man. Like me, you risked your life to protect a person... a woman. This woman is the distant granddaughter of my lord. You may choose whether or not to believe me. Nonetheless, I ask that you continue to protect her for both of our sakes.''
The scroll was simply signed ''A Ninja''.
You see, the other day i did save a woman, one who is very important to me. We were at the arcade when some thugs attacked. I was greatly outnumbered, and it took all my effort to save her.
Could my ancestor's ninjitsu been at work? Perhaps i should put my anger behind me and study the way of the ninja instead...

Ao-kun: ''Greetings, I'm Ao-kun!!''
Both: ''We're Yellow and Blue! Thanks for coming to our show!''
Kii-yan: ''Hey hey, Ao-kun. Did I tell you I started taking music lessons?''
Ao-kun: ''No, you didn't tell me! When did this happen?! What instrument did you pick? Guitar? Piano? The Triangle?''
Kii-yan: ''Well, I'm learning...''
Ao-kun: ''Yeah, yeah?''
Kii-yan: ''I'm learning to play the rhythm!''
Ao-kun: ''What? Rhythm? Kii-yan, you dope! Rhythm isn't an instrument! What are you really playing?''
Kii-yan: ''I told the teacher that I want to play the drums, but she said that I have to work on the 'rhythm' first!''
Ao-kun: ''Kii-yan, she meant you needed to practice your sense of rhythm with the drums!''
Kii-yan: ''That's right! She did say that! Ao-kun, you're amazing! How did you know? Are you a mind reader?''
Ao-kun: ''You big dummy! I didn't use psychic powers, I used common sense!!''
Kii-yan: ''Hey hey, you don't have to get all angry about it.''
Ao-kun: ''You're right, you're right. Sorry.''
Kii-yan: ''Also, Ao-kun, don't look now but your fly is open!''
Ao-kun: ''What?! Why didn't you warn me before we got on stage?!''
Kii-yan: ''Made you look!''
Ao-kun: ''Why you little...''
Kii-yan: ''Little? I'm three inches taller than you!''
Ao-kun: ''Quiet!! You knew what i meant!!''
Kii-yan: ''ARGHH-!''
Ao-kun: ''Woah! Wh-why are you getting mad? Calm down, Kii-yan!''
Kii-yan: ''Anyway, we were talking about sense of rhythm, weren't we?''
Ao-kun: ''Yeah, that's right.''
Kii-yan: ''That was, until you derailed the conversation just like that...''
Ao-kun: ''Look, I'm sorry... no, wait!!! Kii-yan, you're the one that took us on that tangent by lying about my fly being open!!!''
Kii-yan: ''Yeah, but you're the one who fell for the joke.''
Ao-kun: ''Oh, be quiet! Anyway, what did your music teacher have to say about your sense of rhythm?''
Kii-yan: ''I figure I won't need all that much practice, since the teacher said my sense of rhythm was very blatant.''
Ao-kun: ''You blockhead! She said your sense of rhythm was latent, like your ability to tell funny jokes!''
Both : ''Thank you ladies and gentleman, and enjoy the rest of the game!''

My sense of rhythm.

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.''
