pop'n hiden ninpouchou (ポップン秘伝忍法帖) unlocks
Much like its arcade counterpart, pop'n music 12 いろは CS unlocking systems involves Shinobian (シノビアン赤), first seen in ニンジャヒーロー⚡シノビアン (the song itself even plays during the event).
The unlock system is very simple: play through any ARCADE 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'll unlock that song. Be careful not to hit a fifth, brown scroll: you get absolutely nothing if you do.
About halfway through Shinobian will be replaced by Shinobianko (シノビアンコ), the female ninja from 忍びアン子は恋の呪文 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. A new scroll, nin-nin, will appear as well, with its sole unlock being her song. Unravel it to unlock 忍びアン子は恋の呪文 for play.
Once you fully complete the spring, summer, fall, winter, and nin-nin scrolls, one final, black scroll will pop up: unravel it to unlock the HELL 12 course. You'll also unlock all remaining EXs you had not already unlocked in the game.
Songs are listed in unlock order by season.

Mini Games
In pop'n music 12 いろは CS, two of the songs must be unlocked through mini-games, both of which use the controller to play.
Yima Mini-game
You, the Yima at the bottom, have a limited time-frame to match the pose of the Yima above you. Yima will pose in one of five poses: you must press the color at the bottom of the screen that represents this pose. If you screw up or fail to hit it in time, you lose and have to restart all over again. If you choose to play this in 2-player mode, the red button will not be used. Complete this game 100% to unlock BEYOND THE EARTH.
Bike Mini-game
Shishamo the cat (from the pop'n music 8 song チェイス!チェイス!チェイス!) and his owner Satou-san notice a sale on cat food, and race to the store to get it across 3 different levels: a road, a jungle, and outer space. Press the blue buttons to speed up, the red button to jump over obstacles, and either yellow button to break.
You start out with three lives. If you hit an obstacle, whether from above or on the ground, the cat will fly out of the basket. Right before he touches the ground he will be saved by one of three pop'n music characters: Shinobian (シノビアン赤), YOSHIO, and Shinobian-ko (シノビアンコ), in that order. If you use up all three lives and you hit another obstacle, you lose automatically. You also lose if you fail to complete any of the three levels in time. In either case, you have to restart from the first level all over again. However, if you manage to break successfully and catch your cat in the bicycle's basket, you will not lose a life. Complete all three levels to unlock チェイス!チェイス!チェイス!.
MARATHON MODE
MARATHON MODE is unlocked after unlocking everything through pop'n Hiden Ninpouchou (ポップン秘伝忍法帖) and pop'n request. Minigames do not have to be cleared.
This mode allows the player to play all songs (including チェイス!チェイス!チェイス! and BEYOND THE EARTH, but excluding CASSANDRA, JET WORLD, and Knock Out Regrets) on a difficulty of the player's choosing (5 BUTTON, 9 BUTTON, HYPER, or EX), in order of increasing difficulty and note counts (if multiple songs have the same difficulty).
Players are given 50 lives (shown as hearts, instead of a GROOVE GAUGE), which each life will deplete for every BAD judgement without recovery during songs and the player will fail the current playthrough if all lives are depleted, similar to the EXPERT MODE GROOVE GAUGE. Unlike EXPERT MODE, lives are completely replenished only after every checkpoint, which occurs after every set number of songs, depending on the difficulty (every 6 songs for 5 BUTTON/9 BUTTON and every 3 songs for HYPER/EX). The player's progress is automatically saved at each checkpoint and can be resumed at any time, even after failing, until overwritten by a new MARATHON MODE playthrough, a new checkpoint of the current playthrough, or by clearing the current playthrough.
FEVER is achieved with a current combo count (can carry over between songs) of 100 or more.
Clearing MARATHON MODE does not unlock any new songs.
