How this list was constructed (and why 冥 isn't on it):

https://sp12.iidx.app/recommends is aggregated data from an IIDX clear lamp tracker website. Based on how many people have each kind of clear, it estimates their difficulty. If you sorted the 12s by normal clear difficulty in September 2020, you would get this top 20.
The rankings generally agree with the site's community tier list, which ranks 12s on an S+ to F scale, as seen here: https://sp12.iidx.app/sheets/9141-283...
The biggest 'surprise' is an A+ being 16th (Red. by Jack Trance), but otherwise 8/10 of the S+es are in the top 10, the two Ses in the top 10 are extremely difficult, and the remaining 2 S+es are in the top 15, so this is a reasonable enough ordering of the hardest 12s in the game.
If you rank by other kinds of clears, you'll get a different list. For example, hard clear top 5 is ICARUS†, X-DEN, 冥, 灼熱 Pt.2 Long Train Running, Mare Nectaris. ex-hard clear top 5 is the same except 冥 falls to 5th place. (By normal clear difficulty, 冥 is only A-tier because you have so much time at the end to recover.) (Another interesting case: Go Beyond!! is one of the 12 hardest full combos in the game, but an E-tier for normal clearing.)
I used the Honorable Mentions section to mention all the charts that could reasonably have made it but didn't, and the Bonus sections to mention interesting displays of other kinds of skill.
Finally, some of the 12s added in HEROIC VERSE don't have enough data yet to be ranked yet, so this list may be upended in the next year.

Most bemani rhythm games don't need this kind of a video, since the highest difficulty folder is small - you can just look at all of them yourself. But there are 363 (!) and counting 12s in IIDX, and no sign of a difficulty system overhaul any time soon.

Some gameplay footage had album quality sound overlayed on top if it was too illegible.
