UPDATE 1 (15/03/18): Together with GLORIOUS RO@D, the other previously-unannounced permanent song additions to Blue Version that have been documented thus far are Zeami/Tatsh's Susanoo and the first two DLC-exclusive songs from Session de Dodon ga Don that were made playable during Yellow Version for a limited time: Kaichuu Teien o Motsu Shoujo and Konamono☆.

UPDATE 2 (15/03/18): A late yet weirdly punctual Twitter Snippet shows the promotional sequence that Blue ver. plays to preview the Performance Battle Mode.

UPDATE 3 (15/03/18): Lucky Notes on POP TEAM EPIC are... epic? All three notes are hit as dons. And you really get to break the Takeshobo building (instead of flying off like normal notes) with special SFX.
