1STPAI is a hiden track found in the game Taiko: Drum Master (or Taiko no Tatsujin) for Nintendo Wii 2.
Apparently, you need to analyze the data itself in order to find it.
(No one knows for what purpose the track was left in there)
The music is a mixture of the sound of laughters and heavy footfalls, plus a snippet from Verdi's Requiem.
It sounds VERY CREEPY so I don't advise you to listen to it at night.
It seems you're supposed to pronounce the title as "First-Pie."
The rumour says that the game's manufacturer (Namco), when the existence of 1STPAI became known, made an official announcement saying that it was a track they used when they ran a test, and they just forgot to delete it afterwards, but who would compose such a creepy music just to run a test? The truth is in the dark!

is it really true that this track was found inside taiko no tatsujin wii? curious to try to find it myself, IF i can get a hold of that game -_- hard to find it nowadays.. Sometimes some programmers like to put something weird in their game, but this is beyond weird... experimental, maybe, but it is put inside this kind of game.. thats just beyond extreme.
anyway. really interesting post Saya.
The most disturbing part was, the part the peoples laughter turned to horrified screaming and you keep hearing that weird thumping sound -scary (´；д；`) Then requiem starts up and you can here a man singing really weirdly, I think he even sang some "Row row your boat" lol(｡> ω <｡)
It's a very strange track!
I think a more fitting title would be "Murder at a musical/comedy by a strange singing madman" (≧▽≦)
Well no reading right now, i have enough witht the spider from last night
*sits to wait till morning*
what were they thinking ?
Oh those creepy numbers stations! I've got one or two stories to thell about these things too.
@arshvein: Yup, it's absolutely true. It's not an urban legend. Weird, isn't it?
@Jasmine: yes, that's exactly what happens at the end - they play it backwards. Did you find that part funny? My, my XD
You're genius when it comes to giving titles to things, dear. haha
@HN3: In case you can't wait until the morning, I've got candies prepared for you! :D
@Leonslaught: I wonder how they found that hidden track? I heard that "its ID was left in the data" but I don't understand what they mean by ID. Anyway whoever decoded it must be a genius!
@Şefik Ateş Meriç: I see that you were facepalming as you listed to the music! haha Yeah it really scares you. Very nightmarish.
THANK YOU ALL, FOR YOUR COMMENTS!!
(Also, sorry to bother you, I know you probably remove old posts that are broken...but you had a video of a clock-ish thing rocking back and forth, with beautiful music, supposedly found after a suicide...I'm wondering if it still exists? Ahh, aside from all of that, thank you for continuing to post!)
Or it could've been intentional to make it like that, then leak it to generate more attention towards the game!
Nah. I'd rather believe the more mysterious explanation. It's much much more interesting than easy explanations.
And idk why after I listened to it my right ear feels weird maybe because of the screaming and I sticked my ear too close to the speaker T____T
@Prisilia: Disney cartoons!? When you say "storm," I can only think of the Wizard of Oz! Hmmm...
Oh! A delicate girl like you shouldn't be watching a nasty thing like this! I think this thing a can affect sensitive people in a weird way. You have a good rest, dear. I hope you're alright!
btw that "Screaming" part were ... //silent// //hides behind random people's back//(Ｔ▽Ｔ)
I'm thinking to put my email address on this blog, but as I wrote in FAQ recently I haven't decided whether I should yet. I'm very tempted to put it right here, since you're offering to voluntarily send me your story, and that's very nice of you. In fact, a number of people in the past offered to send in their stories too, just as you're doing now. But I never told them my email address. I'm still feeling undecisive about this matter...
Would you mind waiting for a bit?
If you don't mind I want to think a bout it and make my decision by this weekend. If by Sunday 26 May I still haven't put my email in FAQ that means I've decided not to allow people to PM me.
Thank you very much for your sweet message though! :)
@Tia: We still don't know whether it really was for a test, but yeah, it's strange! May be the programmers left it there as a joke. You never know!
@ryuu: Yes, it did sound rather like a theatre performance, or a musical, what with their hooraying and all. haha
@お呪い: Are you sure about that? XD Make sure you don't scare people around you!
THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR MESSAGES, GUYS!
The old video you're talking about unfortuately got deleted. I really liked that one too, so it's a shame. But I'll be on the lookout for similar things.
Well, meanwhile please amuse yourself with 1STPAI! :D
Also Miss Saya, I know you already responded to that anon about PMs but there was something I wanted to ask you privately! I'll wait and see until Sunday though!
XD
@mogiru: What is it that you wanted to ask me, dear? Can you give me a hint?
@BlueRio: Good for you, dear!
By the way, you say you're not in your best condition. Are you alright?
Actually I came up with a good idea a moment ago: maybe I can set up the contact form one day every week or something. Idk.
I'll wait and see!
@Diogo: Thank you for being concerned about me! I'm not too bad! Things are looking up.
I get skin rash when I don't get enough sleep or feel too much stress. I need to watch out! I hope to tuck myself in early tonight! I hope you're sleeping well too, Diogo, don't study too hard! :D
@Petzie: Poor little thing. Don't be scared! It's not like this music is cursed (or so I hope). Some people seem to like this kind of music. In fact one of the readers who commented above wants to set it up as her phone's ringtone! haha
Listen to something nice now, dear, to get your mind off this creepy music!
I mean, it is disturbing and yet intriguing.
Or maybe I have an odd taste in music.
SAYA, there's another dark song in Taiko no Tatsujin. Do you know of "Man ka imu ichi no Juu/万戈イム一一ノ十"? The name of the song itself is scary. It's "成仏二千/Joubutsu2000" cut into parts. Supposedly it means to die peacefully, and it was supposed to be the last song of the series— on top of things, the song is in french - talking about being hungry, and saying numbers throughout the whole song... Put together and pronounced in Japanese, the said numbers. 37564 would be 'mi-na-go-ro-shi'.
@Anon(13 June): No dear, I neither knew about 万戈イム一一ノ十 nor about 成仏二千. But they sound creepy! Thank you for the info! I might write an article about those too if I get a chance!
Someone on Taiko Time, a blog about the Taiko no Tatsujin game series, says they keep hearing the word "yokai" (which can be vaguely translated to "demon" or "monster"). They speculate that since the third DS title in the series, Dororon Yokai Daikessen, has a story mode that is directly related to defeating yokai, it's very likely that this was meant to be part of a secret unlockable advertisement for that game.
Therefore, it's creepy because maybe if it was supposed to be part of that game's advertisement, then such a thing would have been focusing on the yokai in the game.
