The second and last (for now) of the Chinese Taiko arcade machines, released on June 2009. Like with Taiko 11 Asia, 12 Asia is the identical twin of the regular Japanese machine with a language change and the C-Pop genre. However, 12 Asia had something 12 did not have -extra Namco Original game songs which wouldn't appear in Japan until Taiko 12.5 was released. The songs involved are:
Obsession Latino
Angel Dream (Ura)
Naked Glow - Ridge Racer 4
which were all given away in a secret code exclusive to 12 Asia. The secret songs for Taiko 12 (DON'T CUT, Rumble Ranbu, Kami-sama no Birthday) are included in the Asian song list from the beginning, and didn't require anything to unlock. There are even a few J-Pop and Anime songs exclusive to Taiko 12 Asia!
Why Namco discontinued the Asia line of arcade machines after 12 is still not known, but the blog and Chinese Donder Page continues to operate, though very minimally. It's a pity though- this was the first and last time the Asian machine had an advantage over the Japanese machine, song-wise.
Taiko 12 Asia secret code
| No. of songs | 143 (total 145) |
 No. of secret songs | 2 |
 No of songs with Ura (1P) | 7 |
Again, as with Taiko Asia 11, the new, exclusive songs in Asia 12 are poorly-documented. Do share if you have videos!
