RQ: Dodonpachi Daioujou Black Label Loop requirements?

[Kaiser]

I wonder what the requirements are to access the second loop, obviously in 2-loop mode. 100 mil? bees? anything?

[Aliquantic]

The easiest and guaranteed one is grab all ten bees without dying in three stages, aka the x2 bee. You are also able to loop if you only use a few bomb (I'm not sure how many exactly but Wikipedia says less than 3), and Wikipedia says you can loop if you die 2 times or less (I've never looped that way since missing twice means I automatically loop with bees).

This should all apply to White Label as well incidentally.
