pop'n hiden ninpouchou (ポップン秘伝忍法帖) feat. Ninja Hero Shinobian / Ninja Heroine Shinobi Anko

pop'n hiden ninpouchou is pop'n music 12 いろは's unlock event, which began on March 2nd, 2005. It involves Shinobian (シノビアン あか) from the pop'n music 8 song ニンジャヒーロー⚡シノビアン, whose song even plays during the event. eAMUSEMENT is required to start the event.

The unlock system is very simple; play through any mode, and you will rank up Ninja Points. Shinobian will try to throw his shuriken on one of several scrolls under a small time limit. All you have to do is simply press the red button at the time one of the four scrolls passes by the screen, each representing a different season: spring, summer, fall, and winter. Once you hit a scroll, you'll see a picture slowly unroll from that scroll. Once it unrolls all the way, you unlock that song. Be careful not to hit a brown scroll; you get absolutely nothing if you do. About halfway through Shinobian will be replaced by Shinobi Anko (シノビアン子) from the song 忍びアン子は恋の呪文, playing a part of her song as BGM. The unlock system doesn't change once she appears, though a new scroll featuring her song is added.

Once you fully complete all five scrolls, one final, black scroll will appear; fully unravel it to unlock HELL 12, as well as all the EX charts new to the game.

pop'n hiden ninpouchou ended on April 13th, 2005. All songs and courses were unlocked automatically afterwards.

Songs are listed in unlock order by season.
