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

pop'n music 12's unlocking systems involves Shinobian, first seen in pop'n music 8 (the song NINJA HERO even plays in the background). The unlock system is very simple: play through any mode in the arcade, and you will rank up Ninja Points. Shinobian will try to throw his shriuken 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 4 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 Shinobianko, the female ninja from NINJA HEROINE via a special scroll. The music will also change to that of her theme though the unlocking system doesn't change when you get her. Once you fully complete the spring, summer, fall, and winter scrolls, one final, black scroll will pop up: hit that and fully unravel it to unlock HELL 12. You'll also unlock all the EXs for the songs new to Iroha once you do. The unlocking system event lasted from March 2nd, 2005 to April 13th, 2005 in Japan, both times at 3:00 P.M.

Songs are listed in unlock order by season.
