Taiko Portable DX- new details

Hurray for high-quality title logo! Still no box art, but whatever. Click 'Read More'!
-Update of official site, now you get to hear the theme song, which is very reminiscent of Densetsu no Matsuri. Currently unnamed. Unconfirmed whether the vocals are exactly the same yet.
-Official song list matches rumor song list completely
-SMOKY THRILL, an IdolM@ster 2 song, is exclusive only to those who preorder Taiko Portable DX through Ponta & Lawson, a Japanese web shopping site. Talk about being oddly specific. Most likely advertising though, as together with the song you'll also be getting a costume set with the Lawson logo on it.
-Costume set? Logic says that means PSP is finally getting Don-chan costumes!
-The card needed to download Angel Dream no. 3 looks like this. You need access to PlayStation Network to get the song.
-Downloadable songs will be split into two types:
 Free songs: Namco Originals and other Namco-made songs.
 Licensed songs: Songs which Namco does not hold the license to, like the J-Pop, Anime and Variety songs. They're still in negotiation, but there's a very high chance you'll have to pay real money for these.

-Ura Oni is rumored to be in PSP DX (source: Mobage). Wouldn't make sense if it didn't considering how far we've come, and there are quite a number of songs that have Ura Oni difficulties on the song list. Wonder if there are new ones like in Taiko Wii 3? Song list will not be updated until more concrete confirmation is received.
-A song called 'Toccata and Fugue' is in the game, but its relation and whether or not it's a different song from 'Toccata and Fugue and Rock' is unconfirmed. Looks like a different song- the Futsuu difficulty for TFR is definitely not 1*.
-Rumor: SMOKY THRILL will be 10* Oni, making it the first IdolMaster song to get maximum stars. Heavy Rotation by AKB48 could be 9*
-There's a high chance the Monster Hunter Medley in Taiko PSP DX will be a different one from Taiko 14/ Wii 3.
