* Release date: September 28th, 1998

= Rejected designs =
The pop'n music series has a long history of rejected characters. Some never saw the light of day, and some would later be used many years or mixes later. For the first game, these include:
 
* A green man with an afro (early BAMBOO, perhaps?)
* A pink bunny, later used as PRETTY in [[CS pnm|pop'n music CS]]
* A pumpkin-head guy with jeans and a shirt with a dollar sign on it
* A green-skinned vampire with parted blonde hair, a black jacket, a red shirt, and jeans (early Yuli?)
* A bear with the flag of Great Britain on it
* An angry-looking Native American
* A hippie dog
* A pair of frogs (possibly early version of Anzu)
* A green donkey with a guitar
* A skateboarding snowman with green shorts
* A walking orange with clothes
* A weird-looking yellow man with black overalls and pink shoes and a red hat (face looks similar to that of TROPPIE)
* A space man in a yellow suit (early Cyber?)
* Male Japanese announcer in a kimono
* Man with a T.V. for a head
* A yellow-skinned man with a blue hat covering his eyes, with a white t-shirt and green pants. Also wears a necklace with a picture of a green hand with four fingers
* An angry-looking chicken wearing glasses, blue shades, a small, tight shirt, green shorts, and multi-colored shoes
* A man in a circus-type costume with a black bandana covering his eyes (similar to the garb Mimi and Nyami wear in [[AC pnm 13|pop'n music 13 カーニバル]])
* A red fire with a black biker shirt, a belt, and brown shoes
 
Also notable are various color designs for already established characters. For example, JUDY's hair was originally brown.
