Equip Latent Kingdom Player Frame (10 Stamp set), then in 1 Credit, play any songs from Kanon Oguni (大国奏音) without repeating any songs.
Upon the release of BLACK ROSEちほー10, the instrumentals section of [https://maimai.sega.jp/kotonoha/special/ maimai.sega.jp/kotonoha/special/] was updated to include an audio file consisting of a telegraph key transmitting Morse code. This code snippet translated to "CHANGE SPEC TO FACTOR", suggesting that the word "'''''spec'''''ial" is to be replaced with "'''''factor'''''ial".
 
The link [https://maimai.sega.jp/kotonoha/factorial/ maimai.sega.jp/kotonoha/factorial/] displayed a short message, as well as a graphic containing a card with the Roman numeral XXI (21), thus giving the final solution of 21 factorial, a 20-digit number.
 
Enter 51090942171709440000 (21 factorial) as a serial code on maimai DX NET.
