Every Song Ever

TJADB presents the ESE (Every Song Ever) project ESE covers all the official Taiko no Tatsujin (太鼓の達人) songs

How to get the songs

We recommend to use git to "clone" the songs. As you can see, the project is very large, and gets updated on a regular basis. Using git, you can avoid having to manually update the songs on your system by copying and overwriting local files. A simple git pull will make sure you have the latest version of all the .tja's.

If you don't want to use git, you can just download the project as a zip folder. We recommend against this, but it is an option.

What is git?

Git is a "version control" software that allows people to work together on a same project, without running into the risk of messing up each others work when editing the same file. This allows our ESE maintainers to add and fix songs in an easy way. In the unlikely event they mess up, they can use git to go back to a previous version. This gives them full freedom to try things out without the fear of losing their progress. The benefits of git for the TJADB community is that you can keep your official repository up to date.

  • Was the sync of a song off? If the ESE crew fixes that, you can update your song list, and get these updates.
  • New songs were published? One command will make sure you can get these
  • Not sure if you have old versions of the songs? Git will fix this for you.

How do I use git?

Git, in essence, is a command-line tool. However, there are graphical tools available that use git. If you want to use the command-line, you can use the following steps:

  1. Open a CMD or Powershell command prompt
  2. Navigate to your game directory. You can do this by typing cd <path to your game folder>
  3. If you already have a songs folder, rename it for now. This way you have a copy, just in case
  4. Type git clone --depth 1 -b master https://ese.tjadataba.se/ESE/ESE.git Songs This will download the songs from the ese.tjadataba.se website. This will take a while NOTE: If you want to work on ESE, you do not want to make a "shallow clone", like the one above. Instead, type git clone https://ese.tjadataba.se/ESE/ESE.git Songs
